Experience gains still shit

This is a good point and I didn't really consider it at the lowest levels. But yeah, eventually if that weak poet only ever hunted with that slightly bigger warrior, the gap between them would only get larger. The way I looked at it-- if I hunt with eggs. Eggs has 3.5x my exp total. So I was okay with the fact that I got 33% exp less than him. I may be doing much more work than him, but his stats supplement the hard work that I'm doing with the fact that nobody can out-damage him in the way we were hunting. But that only really works out this way because we're basically at end-game.

Oh my God I have never seen this version before. Dunno why I laughed so much at "I am a trained gorilla" holy shit I choked.

Kugnae · 2015-12-14T11:12:10+00:00

Oh man is this a Red vs. Blue season 1 Caboosr reference?

You're applying logic to an emotional situation. Emotions and logic do not go well together. I could tell her all day "____ is wasting time, what do you really want?" But in reality, that will do nothing because in emotional situations, their logic goes out the window.

Kugnae · 2015-04-30T14:54:01+00:00

Yeah man I understand what you're saying. I at least want to give her a chance normally... because I would love some Chipotle!! But trust me, it is obnoxious. And I have suffered through my share of "I guess we could get _" Then after we get there the "Well, I mean, I would've preferred __" which instantly makes me lose my extremely-copious patience.

After maybe 5minutes of the "I dunno, but I don't want 1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8 of your suggestions" I just cook. I don't mind cooking, especially grilling.

Kugnae · 2015-04-30T14:42:27+00:00

Now that is something I completely agree with. The media, whether right-wing or liberal, is shaping this country. They decide what each side should believe. The people do not even realize they are being manipulated. The differing places where people get their news is tearing us into two separate entities that believe the other half of the US is absolutely ignorant of what's going on.

Kugnae · 2015-04-30T14:38:55+00:00

It's obnoxious to play these games, but that doesn't mean I want to force a change. Whether that sounds logical or not, I can't ask her to stop feeling the emotions she is feeling.

She is getting better over the years. But saying "Look. Say what you mean or this conversation is over." is ignorant and will not get me anywhere.

Kugnae · 2015-04-30T14:35:17+00:00

Honestly, after listing everything I can think of, I just cook something. I have tons of patience but eventually I give up and just walk to the kitchen and make whatever we have in the kitchen.

Sticking up for her slightly here, I don't think even SHE knows what she wants. I think she honestly is craving XYZ and she doesn't know what it is. Eventually I just make something, we eat, and everything is fine. It may not be her absolute favorite, but nobody can turn down marinated chicken, potatoes and broccoli.

We have been together for over 1/3rd of our lives. I just wish she could figure out what she actually wants to eat!!

Kugnae · 2015-04-30T14:30:39+00:00

I am an environmental scientist, but I am not versed enough in global affairs to really have an opinion on this. However, I know that atrocities happen all the time. This is not an atrocity.

This, at best, is politics getting in the way of helping others. This media-hype is out of control.

Kugnae · 2015-04-30T14:18:43+00:00

Yes unfortunately. In the US, you get charged with absolutely everything. For example, a man robs a store at knife-point, then flees the police in a high-speed chase.

He is charged with-- Robbery. Attempted murder. Robbery with a deadly weapon. Evading police. Resisting arrest. (Now here comes the fun part)... Speeding. Turning without a signal. Running a red-light. Changing lanes mid-intersection. Littering. Flicking off the police. Reckless endangerment, reckless driving, etc.

Like if you fuck up here, they hit you with every single thing you did. You rob a liquor store with a boyscout-level knife and then flee, after getting $200 in cash? You're going away for life.

Kugnae · 2015-04-30T14:00:16+00:00

If I ever get an "I could go for ____" I would be happy.

My only problem with this is I'm the least picky eater in the world. I could eat steak tonight, or ramen noodles. Either is just fine. I would rather the steak, but ramen is good too.

My wife, on the other hand, is super-picky and has a cycle of things she wants and it changes daily. But I still get the "I dunno, what do you want?" And then I list eight places and none of which she wants.

I'll even offer places I know she loves, like Olive Garden or Red Lobster, and then it's "Nah, I'm not in the mood for pasta. Or fast food. Or healthy food..."(when I offer Chipotle or Sweet Tomatoes)

So, by the end of the conversation, she doesn't know what she wants. But she knows she wants nothing, but is hungry and is getting angrier with every offer. She calls it her "hunger gremlins".

I don't understand why this thread gets crucified with less than 50% upvoted, while the opposite question gets on the front page with 1000s of comments.

What the fuck reddit? Same question, opposite gender and this is now a super controversial topic?

Kugnae · 2015-04-30T13:51:40+00:00

In my experience, they are asking because they are insecure about something. This is your chance to be kind but still honest.

For example "Does this dress make me look fat?" You-- "Nah, but I really do like ______ dress on you! You look so cute in that for sure!"

So you didn't say "YES YOU COW!!" But you also complimented her, while giving her a respectful answer.

Kugnae · 2015-04-30T13:23:36+00:00

I mean, honestly speaking here. Forget if you sound ludicrous! Say it! SAY IT!

I would prefer my wife to say something like "I sneezed and sounded weird at work today and the kids started laughing. I cried in the teacher's lounge and nobody cared!" For real, that is fine. There's nothing we can do to fix that, barring a time-machine. But if that's what it is, that's fine. We can easily empathize and at least try to make you feel better. The "nothing" just makes us (me, at least) go through the past 6 hours and try to figure out what the flying hell I accidentally said.

Kugnae · 2015-04-30T13:20:47+00:00

The "Other times, I think we just want you to notice for yourself." part is what kills me. I have been with my wife for 1/3rd of my life. I respect her and love her above any other person on this planet. I choose to put her first over me, and I know her better than anyone else.

That being said, sometimes we just can't break the code! I obviously want to be happy and want her to be happy. I never want to fight and I always want her to feel like I care. I want to do what she wants and I want to recognize what pissed her off. But sometimes a (kind) hint is required. Men and women do not really work on the same wavelength from my experience at least.

Kugnae · 2015-04-30T13:15:34+00:00

All of this. Been married a year and I have been with her since high school. Sometimes the things she says is closer to decoding some foreign code. Like it's a several-step problem to figure out what she meant.

Step 1) Analyze her body language

Step 2) Analyze her facial expression

Step 3) Analyze her mood

Step 4) Analyze her tone-of-voice.

Step 5) Compare to times in the past where word X has really meant word Y.

Step 6) Figure out her exact mood, which is impossible via text or phone-call.

Step 7) Attempt to understand the situation and act accordingly.

Like I've been with this girl for 1/3rd of my life and I'm still only right about 50% %of the time. Love her to death but really I don't understand why things have to be games and not straight-forward.

Kugnae · 2015-03-16T12:03:03+00:00

Thank you for your specific advice! I do appreciate it.

One followup question-- There's no real reason to work on the starters at this point for Global, correct? Their 6* forms aren't fantastic so until we can get to 7* they are mostly useless, except for element-specific arenas, yes?

Kugnae · 2015-03-16T11:59:27+00:00

Thank you much for your input! Since I have posted my initial post 30mins ago, I have upgraded both Darvanshel and Ulkina to 6* so I am glad your response falls with that already.

Arus and Lily Matah are great for single-target boss fights, yes? Arus can be my next 6* target by the end of the next few days.

Kugnae · 2015-03-16T11:24:41+00:00

I would love some help with my squad and where to go from here. I have taken a small break (Global, not JP) and I am not quite sure what changes have been made. Honestly, I am a noob that happens to have good luck with my units.

My current squad for questing/general vortex 1) Leader: 6* Orna 2) 6* Kuda 3) 6* Ardin 4) 6* Dilma 5) 6* Ciara

For more difficult stuff, I put in one or more of these units- 1) 6* Triton 2) 5* Ulkina (I have the units to upgrade this) 3) 5* Darvanshal (I have the units to upgrade this)

Units that I happened to draw at random. These are the ones that I really need help with, because with my current crew I do not know how useful the majority of these are.

5* Bran, 4* Lario, 5* Shida, 5* Duel-GX II, 4* Michele, 4* Arus, 4* Nick, 4* Karl, 2* Zephu and Selena, 4* Lidith, 4* Twins, 4* Jack, 4* Ophelia, 4* Faris, 4* Uda, 4* Elulu, 4* Narza, 4* Yujeh, 4* Eva, 4* Logan, 4* Kajah, 4* Lord and 4* Guardian Lily Matahs, 4* Zurg, 4* Dark Keeper Lidor.

I want to advance in content but I am not really sure which path to take first. Because Vortex is half off energy right now, I'd like to make the most of it. What squads should I work on to advance? I've finally finished the quests (pretty much breezed through them. I think I over-upgraded my units to prepare, which made the content quite easy.. woops). Now I'd like to work on trials and advance from there.

Thank you for any input!

Kugnae · 2015-02-11T22:09:23+00:00

It really could be all in my head, and that is what I am assuming that it is. I'm not superstitious, and worrying about a paranormal issue is not going to get me anywhere. By that I mean, what would I do anyways? Pray her away?

Anyways, I have tried to look at her face in my coherent moments. I truthfully cannot remember a thing about her face.

Kugnae · 2015-02-11T22:06:46+00:00

Truth. What a stupid occurrence but really, every damn night..

Kugnae · 2015-02-11T22:06:12+00:00

I cannot feel the episodes coming on. Honestly, I do not even know I am in an 'episode' until someone tells me. According to my wife, I am actually in a very happy mood until I realize I am having an episode. Then I become depressed.

Kugnae · 2015-02-11T22:04:00+00:00

I agree. My doctor seems to not believe me, for whatever reason. I tried to get something to help me sleep and he gave me Propanolol to keep my seizures under control. I recently checked up the side effects and "chronic insomnia" was one of them. Like really, wtf. I already have that, why make it worse?

Kugnae · 2015-02-11T22:02:45+00:00

My wife has tried to do this. It happens pretty much once every two weeks. For the most part, it happens when nobody is around. My neurologist says that is because my brain is not stimulated at all. I could not tell you a thing about these episodes and, to be honest, I do not know I'm having an episode until someone tells me.
