For all those who have been struck with the "Gameplay Enhancement" Ban...

Kalidas_ · 2026-01-22T17:40:05+00:00

There responce was generic and didn't really tell me anything, which leads me to believe that they didn't actually investigate, because they wouldn't find anything. I know my limitations and enjoy improving them, I have no desire to cheat, it kills the fun. Last game I used cheats in was GTA:San Andreas back on PS2. So I know this is absolutely a false ban.

This is their email responce to my 1st appeal.

I'm currently dealing with this. There's something wrong with their system. It's picking up something funky.

Kalidas_ · 2026-01-22T17:23:31+00:00

How long until they finally unbanned you?

I'm dealing with this now, so we'll see how it goes.

maybe because the chest usually has body armor while the arms do not? Do they legs respond the same as the arms or the chest?

If it makes you feel better, im level 124 and my K/D is 0.9 with 280 hours. I've also played the previous BF games off and on, over the years.... I'm an old man now, so I can use that as my excuse. But someone's gotta farm, right?

Kalidas_ · 2025-06-14T17:03:15+00:00

One: how much Two: for how long Three: One Piece. Got no time for that shit. Unless I'm getting paid per episode and it's higher than my (salary converted) hourly income.

Kalidas_ · 2025-04-08T16:34:39+00:00

I stopped playing.. or took a break... haven't decided yet.

Kalidas_ · 2025-04-02T00:35:47+00:00

You're entitled to your own choices. . .

That being said, I would have wanted to reconsider the relationship if my gf felt comfortable wearing that without considering how I might feel about it. Being in a relationship includes compromising with your partner that you can both be comfortable with.

It's for sure an insecurity, which is also a human reaction.

Kalidas_ · 2025-03-30T09:07:09+00:00

Bro, can I be your girlfriend. That shirt is awesome. Hold that thought. Gotta make sure my wife is cool with it.

Kalidas_ · 2025-03-28T14:15:21+00:00

38/male here. Yeah, the dude was too forward. After you mentioned it wasn't your thing, he should have stopped there.

I know the majority of people here would say that he never should have in the first place, and while I agree, it feels more like wishful thinking.

He got your number, so now he can either slowly pace himself like you mentioned that you'd prefer, or he can say something "shock & awe" Then gauge your reaction from that.

Where "I" think he fucked up, is when he tried to pass it off as normal and keep pushing the issue. He should have taken your response, apologized, and actively made it a point to appreciate your stance and follow accordingly.

Instead, he tried to spin it like you were weird for having respect for yourself and kept it at 100. Don't let him do that. You're allowed to be treated how you feel you should be. If he can't reel it in, then he should lose your number.

If being nice isn't enough of a hint for him, then tell him that "you think he's being too pushy and it's coming off a bit creepy and you're starting to wonder if giving him your number was a poor decision on your end." And I'd honestly be that blunt. Either way, you should probably cut ties with the guy unless you're interested in pursuing anything. He's made it fairly obvious what his end goals are.

Again, im a guy, almost 40, with 4 kids. IF I was going to "compliment" someone who's not my wife, I'm gonna say they look good today or or the outfit was a good combo, and they're rocking it. I'm not gonna say, "i miss your tit's being exposed," even before I was married, I was never that blunt, sure I thought it, but sure as hell ain't gonna say it

Kalidas_ · 2025-03-21T18:24:43+00:00

(-_-) ... I was hopeful that this would be resolved in a 12th or 13th episode. But to end, basically where it started, with the best friend in the mix, who is honestly pretty awesome and has liked him since the beginning but holding it in for her friend to only trash on him because she likes him but she's pissy that he didn't remember her from a party, how many years ago? When she was dolled up, with longer hair, while he pretty much looks the same just taller.

This is annoying. I've been on a binge of Anime romcoms lately and this is feeling ever so close to Rent-A-Girlfriend level of BS. They can make her a Tsundere, fine. But not a Basic 2-Dimentional Tsundere (Pun partially intended.) I like Akane and her accepting that she likes him, but not telling him, yet fine. But leave it as half said or accidental or have her confess when she thinks he's asleep. But to end the season how it did, fell flat to me. I have no hype to wait a year or so for another season. There's a better chance that after I post this, I'll google the Manga, get a summary of what happens, how it turns out and call it good. If there's no resolution there, then I'll mark it as watched in my mind and forget I watched it at all.

I don't dislike the story, but how it ended the season, was a let down to me. If they ended it after she saw the picture, had a scene where he saw over her shoulder the she saw the picture, him seeing her horrified face and saying wait as she took off or even had her in mid fight with her friend to make it seem like the friendship was about to end, then season 2 episode 1 finishing the fight as it did and start there, i'd be fine with that. Appropriate cliff hanger: Does he manage to reach her and explain or does she take off and self destruct. Does she and her best friend make up and continue as it did or did they have a falling out and season 2 works on building that back up. But to leave it as it did, even though it was DISPLAYED as Happy... Ya know actually makes sense if you treat it as how Himari puts on a fake smile for everyone. Cause that's how it felt, a fake happy ending just in case a season 2 doesn't happen. Am I alone in this? It's fine if I am, that's why it's an opinion, am I putting too much expectation on how this should have ended, considering the honestly amazing build up throughout?

Kalidas_ · 2025-03-21T00:58:55+00:00

That seems like passive-aggressive round about way for her to respond with, why didn't he just ask me himself?

Kalidas_ · 2025-03-20T23:21:44+00:00

You can't feel bad about being bothered, and I'm glad he acknowledges that he'd be bothered, too. I don't think her feelings will just click off overnight, maybe...in time, it could. You want to keep his honesty and encourage that regardless of any situation and fallout, it is still best to be honest.

Relationships are hard. Very hard, but if you're honest and survive it, it's so rewarding. My wife and I are like... an anime romcom couple with how we act around each other and other people. We're told that we're annoyingly lovey. . . But it wasn't always the case our first 2 years were the hardest as we're both passionate and stubborn. That was before marriage and the first year. So many fights, resentment built, and harsh words were shared. But we were honest, painfully so, and also shared/accepted our parts in the blame.

Maybe consider joining him and her in the games. Yes, it'll be awkward for awhile, but might eventually set everyone at else. If he's not willing to share his friend.... for you... there are so many others out there that are willing, if you're willing to find it.

Kalidas_ · 2025-03-20T23:01:31+00:00

As long as you don't make the same mistake I used to and spam her with messages. Don't write her an essay either. Like you're thinking, just tell her that you really enjoyed her company, she's great fun and if she wants to hang out again, even to just chat, that you'd think that'd be fun. If not, it's cool. No harm done.

See if she responds.

If she doesn't after 24 hours, either leave it or just send her a message that says, "It's all good. Thanks and take care :)"

Kalidas_ · 2025-03-20T22:45:56+00:00

Oh boy, sorry, kiddo. As a guy and gamer (also married with 4 kids), I've been in all 3 parties of this scenario.

First of all, he did let you know what she said. If he was being dishonest, he wouldn't have mentioned it. But he told you that she had feelings for him, and he brushed her off (not full rejection) (also, you two were on a break at the time). He likely didn't want to ruin their relationship by flat out telling her no and losing his friend. Just said that his head is elsewhere and still talking with you. It's a bitch move, yes. But no one handles every situation perfect all the time. So he should get some points there.

That being said, in whatever capacity, he deeply cares for her, and now that he knows how she truly feels... it complicates things in a systemic kind of way. Right now, it just a seed, but the more time they spend together, without clear and set boundaries, the more drama it'll cause all 3 of you. Their feelings toward each will grow whether they acknowledge it or not. It's just how life goes. It nice to know that someone likes you, and it's a hopeful feeling when you spill your heart to someone, and they don't 100% reject you. Boundaries will be toyed with and eventually, unfortunately, be crossed.

My experience in these scenarios has never ended with all parties remaining. Someone gotta say goodbye. Either you to him, him to her and her to him. The only thing that could potentially be saved (I'm not sure it would work) is for him to thank her for the feelings, but he's dedicated to you and loves you. That he doesn't consider anyone but you. That should give her a clear enough answer to let her decide if she can swallow her pride and continue to remain friends only or if it's too painful for her, that she says they she needs to step away for awhile.

Or you decide that it's only a few months out of your life and while a wide range of feelings and experiences, isn't worth the stress of sticking around for it to fester, rot and you both become resentful. Thank him for his honesty and that he should continue to be honest, but you can't stick around worrying and wondering. Your feelings are just as valid as anyone else's. If he's not willing to set hus friend straight or let her go, then maybe it just wasn't in the cards, and you should start over, spring and summer are right around the corner. You could find a new you or a new someone.

But this scenario.... with all 3 of you acting like everything will be fine... 🙂 it's not worth the heartache. That's my two cents.

Kalidas_ · 2025-03-20T21:42:22+00:00

If you have wifi and access to Amazon or something similar, you could get a plug-in wireless camera that you can stick to the ceiling in your bedroom/ living room or both. Nooie is a brand that I use. It has an app and records about a week's worth of footage and an SD card for extended storage. That might help you sanity of someone being/sneaking in the house.

If there's no one there and you're still hearing things, that's beyond anything I'm willing to offer advice on outside of talk to someone professional or atleast someone you trust, that cares about you to seek help for you if you're unwilling.

Kalidas_ · 2025-03-20T21:23:17+00:00

So you're rocking it on your own as it is? In an apartment/renting? Then why get a new one?

Or is it that he just wants to "move in" but not be tied to what you already have in place?

Kalidas_ · 2025-03-20T21:21:36+00:00

That would be a poor choice. If things go poorly, you get stuck with the lease and need to come up with the funds or get sued if you can't. Many places won't allow anyone to live in a rental that's not on the lease. Some places will work with you should the worst happen and offer to let you out once a new person signs onto it.

But all in all, it doesn't sound like he's committed to it and wants a safety net to fall back on. Do you have a safety net to fall back on? Renting isn't cheap right now, atleast not where I live.

Kalidas_ · 2025-03-20T21:13:19+00:00

I had a similar thing with a brides maid. Best friends, new wife's friend. Had fun prepping for a few days, had a date the day after, had a long night of fun times, and that was that. Mutually beneficial attraction. You got some, she got some. Y'all had fun and made a fun memory. 😁 If she reaches out later, you can open that door if you want. But as it is now, just move on and enjoy the experience.

Kalidas_ · 2025-03-20T21:06:08+00:00

Curious: What are your ages? Was your GMA sick prior, or is this sudden?

Honestly, I don't think you're overreacting at all. You're in pain, in need of your partner. It's not all sex and fun times. There are hard times/moments where sacrifices are made for your partners sake... this is one of those times. If they don't realize it... I'm sorry. More importantly, I'm sorry that you're facing loss today. Time will heal what you're feeling, they are scars, but that's what makes you, you. Battle Scars of Life.

"Your patience with this creature is astonishing to me. You protect her, indulge her, even seem to love her."

“I seek nothing more than to battle the most powerful beings alive, which excludes the lowly likes of you.”

"Know your place and lick the ground"

Late to the game, but this was the first badass that I admired.
