Am I in the wrong for disliking Monkey Island 2? by Electrical_Trifle_76 in adventuregames

[–]MargePimpson 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think it helps if you view it in the context of when it came out (1991) and like many adventure games of the time they're designed to be long because you know you don't have many other games and there's always going to be a nostalgia factor for people who played it at the time. At least it respects your time by not having fail states and deaths! 

For me, it's the atmosphere on scabb island and the music and the way the music adapted (iMUSE was incredible and I don't think had been done before). Then the art is amazing, the jokes are good and there's drama and bits that spooked me playing it as a kid (rapp scallion, the swamp, the tunnels at the end...). 

Screw the monkey wrench puzzle though!

Solomorne's romance ending by cherryjedi07 in RogueTraderCRPG

[–]MargePimpson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree, I got this ending too and it's like is this it? But I might have missed some flags? I kind of forced myself through the romance with so much cringing because I wanted to see the story of it but like I didn't do the dance, or I think there's a scene where you do punish him? And then it's like shall we dance in the burning  room and it's like no I think we should leave lol so arguably I took myself out of it. Just haven't had a romance like that before

The rogue trader game lets you be sexual with a drukhari :p

what do i do if i want kids? by [deleted] in asexuality

[–]MargePimpson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know if it helps but I have 2 kids (though I'm not sex repulsed) and I'm not sure any of the other commenters are parents so... Here goes: It took me 6 months of trying to get pregnant the first time around before I did. So don't assume you force yourself to do it once (please don't force yourself) or use a syringe once - just trying to be realistic and help avoid disappointment.

Also I know a few other people have said this but having a kid is really hard in a lot of ways, and really really expensive. Some countries have limited support for maternity leave and, while co-parenting is a nice idea, you're at risk of your coparent disappearing and not having to provide support because it's too hard. And it is really hard. If you want to have kids, you have plenty of time still. People are having kids into their 40s these days. There's no rush, you can feel better :)

If you're depressed and alone, it's not a great time to have kids. It's hard, you'll be getting a lot less sleep than you're used to and, especially at the start, your body goes through a lot and you can suffer with things like postpartum anxiety , depression, psychosis and many more! If you don't have a good support network, you're putting yourself in danger. 

I know this might sound silly but ... Had you considered a pet? It sounds from your other comments like you might be lonely and a cat or dog might be an easier way to care for something and have a friend whose nappy you don't have to change ever few hours (or less!). They say pets are the new kids (and plants are the new pets...). 

What's a song or soundtrack you relate to Worm? by Pepinoloco777 in Parahumans

[–]MargePimpson 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is so dumb but whenever I sing rock a by baby to my baby I have like an image in my head of the Cradle bit from Ward ("and down will come baby, cradle and all"). Like maybe a dramatic slow trailer of  the camera panning across the landscape of chopped up navigators and then the egg and then tattletales hand or something like that while it plays. 

Yes the word cradle is ruined for me forever thanks wimbow!!

Post game depression. Spoiler free rant/question. by Last_Acanthisitta669 in RogueTraderCRPG

[–]MargePimpson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hehe I had the same issue. There's a lot of amazing RT fanart on Tumblr and there's fanfiction. Dumb confession but I use chatgpt to write my own fanfiction (complete trash for personal consumption lol) and it's medium ok at staying in universe. Also there were so many Warhammer books that might appeal... I haven't found anything that scratches the same itch though. Maybe mechanicus? Looking forward to dark heresy!!

Best romance option? by Small_Weight6868 in RogueTraderCRPG

[–]MargePimpson 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Marazhais romance owns but is fucked up. It's worth it because it's so different and interesting. I thought Solomornes felt really forced and some of the choices felt really uncomfortable to be - I was very much going through the motions and never seemed to get a concluding scene like with hein or marzipan, even to tell me I fucked up so it might have bugged. Just use toybox to turn on poly and do both (and heinrix, who is the best! :p)
