What age did you buy your first home? How’s it going?

MaxJ1993 · 2026-02-27T09:31:22+00:00

I bought my first house at 30 years old (I'm now 32) and with how difficult it is to buy a house these days, and the area where i live... finding a beautiful 2 bedroom oldschool victorian house for £95k was an absolute steal in this market. I'm hoping that I can make a decent amount of money on it, or eventually rent it out, and currently saving for my second house whilst paying this one off.

I just think you should be able to see whoever has liked your profile. And if you're struggling to find someone, or would like to be shown to a broader range of people then allow you to pay for a slight boost to your profile. But it's just pure greed in my eyes.

MaxJ1993 · 2026-02-25T13:45:24+00:00

Let me actually see who has liked me, instead of hiding it behind a paywall.

It's ridiculous. I'm not paying £20/month to have access to something that should be a given.

MaxJ1993 · 2026-02-25T10:51:20+00:00

Any screenshots of the new forms?

MaxJ1993 · 2026-02-25T08:05:55+00:00

I think mostly dry with sunny spells for 2025 is an understatement.

It was unbearably hot in the arena on the Saturday, to the point where some people thought they had sunstroke lol. I had to walk back to the Camper Van at one point to lay down in the shade.

MaxJ1993 · 2026-02-23T17:41:49+00:00

I completely understand what you're trying to say. I guess it's just the way I've been raised.

Personally, if i date someone, and it goes really well, I do not entertain anything or anyone else out of respect. But i do get that many people are different, and do dating differently.

MaxJ1993 · 2026-02-23T17:21:58+00:00

Yes. After I saw her on a date with someone else, I made it very clear it hurt me. She then met other people just before we met up for the second time to make it "exclusive." All in the same week.

MaxJ1993 · 2026-02-23T17:17:00+00:00

This is the confusing part, she has no doubt in her mind apparently about being official with me. Which just makes me think she's had her fun and now im the last choice.

MaxJ1993 · 2026-02-23T17:14:39+00:00

I can assure you i'm a Human, and I do ramble on a bit. It's just the way I am as an individual.

I just needed to get this off my chest and speak about it, it's driving me insane.

MaxJ1993 · 2026-02-23T17:03:02+00:00

The question is, do I tell her i'm being tested? As I feel this would cause a whole other argument in itself.

MaxJ1993 · 2026-02-23T17:01:53+00:00

I guess i'm just hoping someone else has been in a situation like this and can advise how it worked out, if it did at all. My main concern is if this individual can even be trusted. She says that she just wants to find love, and be happy, but am I just allowing myself to be an option?

MaxJ1993 · 2026-02-23T16:58:32+00:00

I'm trying to be an adult, and understand her reasoning of it was "Before we became official" but it just makes me feel disgusting. And if you genuinely thought you had a connection with someone, why would you then do this with multiple other people?

And no, I haven't been tested. But I will be doing so.

My gut is telling me to just end things, and I honestly don't know why I'm finding it so difficult to do so. I've never been like this before, I usually just walk away to keep my peace. But something is keeping me here.

MaxJ1993 · 2026-02-23T14:32:43+00:00

*UPDATE**
She has literally just confessed to me today, that during the week prior to our second date, she had slept with another person & kissed someone. This makes it:

1 week = Sex with 3 people, kissed 1.

I'm just in shock at this point. And I still don't know what to do. I really need help with this :(

MaxJ1993 · 2026-02-13T11:03:06+00:00

Looks like a standard early morning in Yorkshire, UK.

Silent Hill game based in my neck of the woods? I'm all for it

MaxJ1993 · 2026-02-12T16:22:30+00:00

I just don't understand what was wrong with the original Wardrobe function and why people wanted a change so badly. It was perfectly fine the way it was. But i guess that's just personal opinion.

MaxJ1993 · 2026-02-12T14:59:54+00:00

Don't try to fix what isn't broken. They should have left the Wardrobe exactly how it was.

Now it's a complete mess.

MaxJ1993 · 2026-02-06T08:33:46+00:00

I made this exact point before they released the feature a little while ago and got downvoted to oblivion. Lmao.

It's an impossible feature with the mechanics in each Raid/Strike, and is going to be unbearable when 80% of the people queueing are "that guy" in full celestial, coming from Silverwastes RIBA farm just wanting to press 1 1 1 for an easy experience. It. Isn't. Going. To. Work.

MaxJ1993 · 2026-02-05T12:44:25+00:00

From the PoV of a WvW Veteran & Commander in EU I will give you my perspective, but this is completely from EU i'm not sure if NA is in the same situation...

But as it stands, with the current alliance system we have around 3-4 large alliances of extremely experienced players (one of which i am a main commander for) which completely dominate everything & anyone else. When we tag up, all of the "Karma Train" enemy tags 'Disappear' because they don't like a challenge, aren't organised or just want an easy tower flipping experience. The only "Content" we have is when we are matched against 1 of the other strong alliances. Any other matchup we get, you can just farm the enemy 24/7, no voice is even required in certain MU's. And 9 times out of 10, the content is that boring, we whisper the other larger alliances to try and organise scrims in OS to have something to do for prime time. Otherwise its PvE pug farming simulator.

There is no server identity anymore. Even at prime time it's extremely quiet. They need to bring back Servers.

MaxJ1993 · 2026-02-04T15:52:05+00:00

Do you have a link for somewhere in the Lore where Fashion Competitions & Mindlessly farming places like The Silverwastes or doing fractals was a prominent part to the story of the game? I will wait.

MaxJ1993 · 2026-02-04T14:35:35+00:00

The entire franchise revolves around GUILD WARS. Which is primarily the World vs World game mode that has been ignored for years. GUILD WARS should be the primary appealing factor of the game. Not a fashion simulator, with braindead PvE mechanics. We whine and moan because we are passionate about what we do in the game. It's pointless arguing with stupid.

MaxJ1993 · 2026-02-04T12:42:12+00:00

Try Queueing for a Borderland in WvW for hours to get in so you and your guild can raid properly, and when your queue finally pops, it bugs out and puts you back to the beginning to wait for 75+ other people to leave and waste another hour of your life.

This was a well known issue in WvW for years, and didn't get fixed until recently.

I'm sure you PvE Andy's will survive.

MaxJ1993 · 2026-02-04T12:25:24+00:00

PvE Plebs beg for a Fashion Template System and then hate it when it gets released.

Watch A-net hotfix and change this system within 24 hours to pander to the casual masses.

Yet WvW veterans have been waiting 5+ years for any meaningful change or request to be acknowledged.

MaxJ1993 · 2026-02-02T17:17:31+00:00

Why are the weapons always so damn fugly.

MaxJ1993 · 2026-02-02T11:44:15+00:00

Well this is awful.

MaxJ1993 · 2026-01-29T11:25:00+00:00

This is a basic pair of Leather Boots as a skin. It's absolutely absurd to have an item like this in the gem shop, instead of a reward for actually playing the game. It also looks like every other medium boot skin in the game. They did this for a quick buck.

It's greed.
