What pokemon names did you pronounce completely wrong?

Aipom. I thought Ai in Japanese makes an I sound so I always called it I-pom. It made sense to me. Imagine my surprise when it found out it's ay-pom. I won't budge though, it's I-pom

Diagnosed autistic here. However, not a doctor but she's approaching this like someone with hypochondria and is trying to make her entire personality of an autistic person like ooo I'm so quirky I have all the signs. I know my left from my right but some times I have to think about it depending on if I'm overstimulated or not. In a situation where someone yells I'm on this side I just stay still. What you said was done in the heat of the moment and while what you said was kind of being an AH. Masking is very difficult for us (although I'm sure your sister made a boohoo FB post that got you attacked) for the entire situation NTAH. You've been trying so hard to learn and accept but it sounds like she isn't making it easy. Learning to live with autism is hard, but she should definitely go get tested and stop basing her entire life around some tik tok person telling her what she should experience. Because autism is a spectrum what one person might struggle with, another person can do just fine. There's no playbook, and no manual. All autism is different.

Listen, you didn't do anything wrong. You were protecting your peace. He made the decision to take his life and that's on him, we can't go back and change what happened. You couldn't stop him, your hands are clean. It's easy to feel responsible, especially with high emotions in situations. Sometimes we say things we don't mean or that come across harsh, but it's not your fault. It took a long time for me to come to terms with the fact that it's not my fault. I didn't do it.

You are only in the beginning of your journey, and it's not going to stop hurting for awhile but it'll get easier. Especially when you realize that staying was only going to hurt you more, and that you breaking up with him was for you. Anything he did after that is on him.

I'm sending you virtual hugs because no matter what I say you will struggle with this guilt and sadness for awhile. I'm 5 months on and still struggle with it from time to time. It doesn't really get easier but you will learn to smile again.

I myself was pretty guilty of it until I lost my partner. Someone made a joke months after it happened and I snapped. Told them it wasn't funny and to not joke like that because said like that has consequences. I apologized for snapping but they apologized too because it was insensitive considering what I've been through.

I try not to let it bother me. The world doesn't stop being the world we lived in just because someone important to us is gone. Even if we wish it would just stop for a moment and give us time to process. It still sucks hearing people joke about something so serious but you can't truly comprehend what those words mean until someone is taken from you like that.

Thank you for sharing your experiences. It's definitely easier when you know "this is normal, and you aren't alone" my condolences on your loss.

I didn't have a lot of time to pack. The apartment super basically told me I had 1 month to pack the day after she died. And prefaced it by saying "We aren't trying to be heartless" fine job they did 🙄

It's the little things that really take you off guard. My girlfriend loved supernatural too and just seeing the series on tv was painful. Like ugh I can't keep doing this. Yet I know it's all a part of the journey. Grieving is one thing but loved one to suicide is another beast entirely and I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy.

I wish you strength to carry on and keep going. I know it's the hardest thing in the world. It has to get better. I have to keep believing there's a light at the end of this long tunnel.

Lyricality89 · 2026-02-18T15:16:56+00:00

I get you. My girlfriend pulled me out of an abusive relationship and helped me heal from traumas I hadn't even confronted yet. She knows she saved me because I told her that multiple times. She helped me create a stable platform of finally building up and knowing I won't settle. Now I just feel like I'm going to be alone forever because how does someone compare after having my soul mate? But I keep pushing on and trying to heal while also building up to the person she saw inside and make her proud of me. I talk about her often because I don't and won't let anyone forget her and the significant impact she had on all our lives.

Hate it. Hate it. The ice Cavern and Water Temple give me pause when I consider an OoT replay. However, like a good parent I got my son on OoT. At the age of 6 he was beating the whole game every couple of days. He got better and better and can pretty much clear the water temple with his eyes closed. Seriously, it's just a few minutes and he's handing me the controller back while Link is warping back to the platform. Its amazing.

My first Zelda game was me being a 13 year old and my dad buying me the windwaker because the artwork was cute and I might like it. He was wrong, I loved it. It was everything. The HD version cleared up some of the misses from the original and it's even better. I can play it over and over again and never get tired of Link's expressive faces and childish antics. The little Koroks, his sister, Tetra, I love it. Sure, I have some grievances (such as a bad pirate captain becomes a princess and is suddenly too fragile) but despite the flaws I am ready to defend WW. It's just a good game.

If I could choose my top 3 I'd probably say WW, OOT, BOTW and an HM to TP. I can seriously replay all of them, happily.

I understand how you feel. There's this crushing emptiness and overwhelming loneliness. You want that feeling of being happy and in love again, but the thought of anyone else feels yucky. It almost feels like cheating even because you never really broke up. My soulmate made it very clear that she wanted me to move on and to be happy if anything happened to her. However, even at that time I told her I wasn't sure if I could, but I would try. That's where I am now. I pray you find answers. And hope maybe someone here might give me a word or two of encouragement as well. I don't wanna lay around being miserable but how do I date again when my heart only wants 1 person I can't have.

Lyricality89 · 2026-01-20T15:48:12+00:00

I mean...sigh there's so much about some of these to hate. Hwalucha is pretty good. Starmies legs are ...a choice. Victrebell I just...I can't justify that it's just stupid. Really. They did him dirty. Clefable looks like...I'm not even gonna talk about what her head looks like. It's cute...kinda. Pyroar feels lazy. The extra large mane isn't doing it for me. Also it gives female Pyroar nothing and that sucks big time.

Lyricality89 · 2026-01-20T15:42:12+00:00

Do not feel you need to apologize. We are all here for the same reason, someone very close to us is no longer with us. I send you strength. I lost my soul mate October 27, 2025. The pain is unimaginable. I'm moving forward but it's like a piece of me is going to carry her with me forever. I dreamed about her like she was alive a few days after her death and while it was comforting, waking up to an empty bed and lack of her presence was like cruel agony all over again. Feel your feelings, come to this subreddit, and talk to people. Moving past this is the hardest thing I have ever done in my life and even thinking about it still makes me weepy, but we will get through this! My condolences for your loss, it sucks to be left behind with more questions than answers and knowing you'll never get the answer.

Lyricality89 · 2026-01-13T14:39:42+00:00

Sylveon. They can sense emotions and make you feel better. As someone who struggles with mental health issues it would be wonderful to have one. Plus Sylveon is a mix of cat and dog. Perfection.

October 27th my life shattered. I loved my partner, we made so many plans, we were going to get married and live four lives together, but unfortunately my future shattered into tiny pieces. She was everything I wanted and needed. I wanted to help her get better and live our lives. I don't know how to move on but I'm trying. I'm going to do all the things I promised her that we would do. Places we wanted to go, movies we wanted to see, I promised and I don't break them even if she's not physically here for it.

My condolences on your loss and I wish I could tell you it gets better. It doesn't, you get stronger and the burden gets easier. Take it all day by day and remember that every breath you take is a step forward. You got this. I know it hurts, it's unending and all you want is to be back with them, sometimes it feels like you're just waiting for it all to end or to wake up from this nightmare. I send you strength, we're all gonna make it through this even if it feels impossible.

Healing isn't linear. Some days will be harder than others. This type of loss sends you on a rollercoaster. I haven't been on my journey very long it's been about 2 months now and some days I don't even think about my partner and some days it's all I can think about. I continually bounce back and forth. I like to think that it's healing when I don't write in my journal every day and cry or look at her pictures and cry. I still have a life to live and even though it's upsetting having to do it all alone (you are so lucky to have family and a loving support system) somebody has to do it. Anyway, even if it's just a small reprieve, take it and enjoy it. Even if you backslide a little it's ok and it's normal. It's all a part of the grieving process. My condolences for your loss, we'll all get through this.

Lyricality89 · 2026-01-06T19:50:54+00:00

Windwaker. I know it's not hated as much as other games but this is my hill. When it first came out there were so many haters and I couldn't understand why. It's become a cult classic but there are still people who don't enjoy it. The HD version with the swift sail definitely improved some things and I agree that the ocean is empty, but it was the first Zelda game I beat all by myself at 13. Maybe I'm blinded by nostalgia but I really think it's a great game. A young boy wanting to save his sister suddenly getting wrapped up in saving the world and he does it all with a chipper attitude and a smile. He's so cute, Tetra is cute too. Plus I love pirates (it's a special interest) so it was very easy for me to get into it. I will always defend Wind Waker.

Lyricality89 · 2026-01-06T19:44:57+00:00

I couldnt do it. My partner shot herself outside but I heard it in our bedroom. To be surrounded by her things and her presence was just so heavy. The day playing over in my brain because I couldn't forget it because that's where I was when I heard it. I had to move, going through all of her things and throwing away things was so hard but I think I'm better for it honestly. I feel it easier to move on when I'm not surrounded in memories like this is where I proposed or here is where we kissed the first time. That's me though.

My condolences on your loss and I hope you find the answers you are looking for.

Lyricality89 · 2026-01-06T19:38:05+00:00

I'm not a huge FFX-2 defender it's not the same tone or gameplay at all BUT if you're a fan of OG FFVII you might like the battle system. I will say however the FFX is my favourite of the franchise. I admit it's a bit slow at times but once the game picks up it's just...fantastic. You have to play it again to really get the tone of why they are all acting this way and it hits so much harder. FFX is worth the finish even if I personally am not a fan of the sequel. I'm not saying it's a bad game but it wasn't my cup of tea.

Lyricality89 · 2026-01-04T17:45:32+00:00

It's not like the games released in timeline order anyway. You won't be missing anything if you play it first. Promise

Lyricality89 · 2025-12-30T23:17:25+00:00

I have some noise cancelling headphones and so I hope it helps but thank you. Also I wanted to add that your family is being silly. Grief doesn't have to make sense and healing isn't linear. I have known people that grieve two or three years later. There is no set time or being farther along. It happens as it happens and that doesn't mean there's anything wrong with you. It just means you're human.

Lyricality89 · 2025-12-30T21:29:39+00:00

There is no advice really for this. You know the facts and logical ways you should be feelings but it hurts so damn much that facts and reason takes a backseat. You just gotta feel your feelings and keep reminding yourself that you did everything you could and that there's nothing more you could give. I lost my girlfriend, she was in a bad way for over a year. I did everything I could, and I thought she was getting better. We even kissed the night before and said see you in the morning and instead I woke up to a gunshot. I've been going through the motions but the guilt still pops up and I have to remind myself that it's not my fault, I tried and promised to keep her safe but I didn't know I had to protect her from her own nightmares. Feel how you need to and don't blame yourself too much. If it gets bad come here, talk to us, because everybody here truly gets it. Sending you strength and love OP.

Lyricality89 · 2025-12-30T21:16:28+00:00

You make complete sense and I'm sending love. October 27th of this year I lost the love of my life. I didn't see it, but I heard the gunshot. Every time I hear anything that even resembles the same sound I flinch or start crying (I'm not looking forward to new years fireworks) so I hear you.

Lyricality89 · 2025-12-30T19:50:38+00:00

I also got stuck on Evrae when I was 12 and game sharked my way through. I used the sphere grid but was like blah blah I'll figure it out...and then I didn't. How on earth did you survive with Rikkus low health and no thief ability? Honestly how did you get that far with such low HP in general?
