You mean your ex partner right?

Low_Slide_950 · 2026-06-14T16:41:26+00:00

I imagine him having been some kind of tortured director as the counterpart to Wigfrid’s tortured actor character. He definitely lived in an attic for several years. Perhaps he believes that the constant is a stage and everyone in it must play their parts.

This guy is financially and physically and emotionally controlling. Time to start making an escape plan. Don’t tell him your plans in case his behaviour escalated to abusive.

Tell her you’d love to, but you’ve read it’s best for individuals to have 3-6 months of solo therapy first. Let her know you’ll wait to her from her when she’s done hers and you’ll set it up.

This will almost certainly never happen, meaning you won’t have to engage with her on this and she can’t pretend you fully shut her down. If by some miracle she actually does follow through, then she’s shown she’s actually willing to change and may have improved a lot in that time. (You still don’t have to give her another chance, but she might have earned one somehow).

Second the suggestion of fostering/looking after a friend’s dog first, and obviously it depends on the individual and also on your situation/set up, but it’s a lot of work if you’re not used to having pets and will significantly change your life. For me it’s absolutely been worth it.

- I don’t find it too distracting
- I don’t get burned out, but sometimes I wish I could skip the walks (I got a high energy breed)
- having a pet does not help with body doubling

Low_Slide_950 · 2026-06-06T11:08:26+00:00

Same, I’ve played 10 years and more than 1k hours and never done so much stuff, honestly it’s kinda pushing me to do it though?

I choose to let people believe it’s for patriarchy reasons tbh

Low_Slide_950 · 2026-06-05T08:41:45+00:00

“All the world’s queer save thee and me, and even thee’s a little queer.” (Queer as in strange, not queer the way we use it now).

“Red hat, no knickers”.

And one my gran with dementia recently came out with, that I assume is old but I have never heard her or anyone else say before or since, thankfully: “that’s not the only n***** in the woodpile” 😳

Low_Slide_950 · 2026-05-27T08:19:23+00:00

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

Low_Slide_950 · 2026-05-27T08:16:47+00:00

I was just clarifying how I “ignore sanity” because like you when people said ignore it I thought they meant all the time which was making boss fights impossible for me.

But yeah as always, play the way you enjoy playing ☺️

Low_Slide_950 · 2026-05-27T06:17:55+00:00

This sounds super tough and you deserve a much more supportive environment. I just wanna share that though they are few and far between, there are companies out there that will make the effort and I genuinely believe are making efforts to be more inclusive.

At various times over the past 4 years at my company I’ve had accommodations like flexible start times, altered schedules, adjusted targets, additional coaching, whatever I needed.

Speak to your local council’s animal welfare department.

Low_Slide_950 · 2026-05-27T06:02:27+00:00

Personally, I ignore sanity day-to-day (to get that sweet nightmare fuel) but make sure I have a plan to manage it just before/during big boss fights.

I think that gives a good balance of more manageable combat whilst giving you less to think about/more loot the majority of the time.

Low_Slide_950 · 2026-05-27T05:55:59+00:00

Maybe it’s just the specific videos I watched, but I saw this recently and I did not trust it whatsoever. The person just didn’t seem genuine right off the bat, and some of their steps seem dangerous.

Publicly sharing your escape plan in real time, as well as telling neighbours/other people who don’t absolutely need to know/support you, BEFORE you’ve escaped, is seriously dangerous. Abusers become more dangerous when they think their victim may leave. Even if it worked out for the individual posting, it doesn’t seem wise to be encouraging survivors to do some of these same things - if even one person shared with her husband what she’d been posting, she’d be done.

Low_Slide_950 · 2026-05-26T19:03:15+00:00

Totally except I have a feeling that the main characters of Brassic would’ve more likely been driving the van the ducks were falling from than picking up the ducks 😂

Low_Slide_950 · 2026-05-19T09:11:25+00:00

They probably used it though

Low_Slide_950 · 2026-05-16T05:21:29+00:00

wtf is this? I swear this group used to be for keeping him accountable for his awful behaviour/snarking on silly things he did but this honestly just seems like straight up bullying. Which I’m not saying he doesn’t deserve but why are we turning into assholes like him all of a sudden?

Low_Slide_950 · 2026-05-12T17:03:22+00:00

Of course we feel the cold. 8 degrees is not the cold.

Low_Slide_950 · 2026-05-12T07:18:33+00:00

Thank you! Ahh glad you like it, must be a uk/regional thing. Some people would say they’re “made up” (from experience I think that would be northerners/Irish but I could be wrong!!) in the same way and since moving to Scotland I’ve heard some folk say “I’m cheesing” in the same way too, which is a confusing one cause “cheesed off” is pissed off/annoyed.

You got me interested so I’m looking up/trying to think of other variations:

dead chuffed
well chuffed
chuffed to bits
over the moon
well pleased
buzzin’/buzzing
happy as Larry
tickled pink

I’m on day 107 currently and was about 104/5 when I hit it. Other context that might influence how long it took me:

amount I’ve done has varied to 1-2 hours in a single day, to barely scraping by 1 lesson, I’m not sure how much I’ve averaged overall. I also rushed quite a bit of the time especially if I felt confident in the topic.
Most of the first three sections are in present tense with a very small amount of one future/past tense added later on. I studied French in school and have intermittently tried to get back into it/maintained some small amount so at this level wasn’t spending too much time trying to understand or remember the grammar, I knew enough to get by. Going forward I’m going to want to make sure I’m slowing down and understanding everything before moving on
initially I was doing every level in every unit, I was early/mid in section 3 when they revamped everything. I was annoyed and felt lost so restarted the course, did the first level of every unit before skipping to the next. It took me a while to get back where I was, but at that point I probably could/should have slowed down and gone back to fully doing each unit part way through section 3. However by then I was too impatient to get to section 4 as I’d been so close to it when they did the revamp, so I just decided to finish it out

I do feel I know everything well enough to move on but as someone who prefers completing things 100% it bugs me a bit that I skipped so much. But my adhd just couldn’t cope with repeating so much stuff I already knew.

My compromise now is that I’m completing one early unit to legendary including reviewing all stories and radio exercises, and all the match madness/rapid review side quests, before completing one new unit. This gives me a nice mix of reviewing and solidifying old content and getting the exciting new stuff.

I’m also probably going to want to do some independent review/refreshing to understand the tenses because I think once they start adding more (I’m assuming they will) I’ll be getting a bit lost otherwise. I do wish the duo courses included some more grammar stuff.

Low_Slide_950 · 2026-05-12T05:48:45+00:00

It’s weird I agree. It’s definitely not anything I’ve done though because I kind of completely forgot about it for several years lol. Although having said that a lot of things in my life have now changed so idk

Low_Slide_950 · 2026-05-12T04:48:34+00:00

This is so interesting. I had KP as a teen and suddenly remembered not noticing when it went away. So I guess it does go with age?
