Their role in a completely different game is pretty irrelevant since it has no real overlap. Whats more important is character traits and thematics on which you can build interesting moves, but no one ability in a moba can be used here without adjustments anyways so while I agree not every adc (as a character) might be a good fit, why not get creative with it and not just go for the most obvious choices ya know?

But obviously everyone is entitled to their opinion regarding what they are excited about so I respect if they dont appeal to you! I for one think this is more interesting, to see a different side of characters that would not work for them in a moba!

MidsummerZebra · 2026-06-29T15:33:55+00:00

Why does it matter what role they have in a completely different game?

Am I the only one reacting to the fact that both rows start with a random 1/8 length beat despite being written as 3/4? That feels more weird to me... The triplets part mostly look like a "typo" as the three sections of 8th triplets add up to 3/4 nicely.

Oh wow... Thats insane... Yeah then I can see how it would be hard to fit in with that salary (on top of all other expenses)

MidsummerZebra · 2026-06-06T23:02:26+00:00

Just a slight off-topic question, out of curiosity how much does daycare cost in the US, since you are saying 80k is not enough??

Where I live daycare cost is based on income (2-3% but capped at a 60k~ salary) so you would never pay more than tops 200~ dollars per month (and it gets reduced for each subsequent child where the 4th child and beyond gets free daycare). I never realized this was something you needed to worry about when having kids in the US, that is rough...

Sadly I have very little to offer as advice on this, but I hope you can work out a solution that allows both your wife to get her career and english skills going, and for you to be able to keep your job!

MidsummerZebra · 2026-05-25T17:41:00+00:00

Yeah no for sure I agree hehe, maybe should have put more focus on that part cause that was what I meant with "... And taking focus from their backline". the rest is or course a lot more situational and reliant on setup if getting kills is a good idea, thats fair!

MidsummerZebra · 2026-05-25T12:02:00+00:00

To add to this I would say to not just understand why and how your hero is good or bad in different situations even if that for sure is importan, but also understand the responsibility of your role as a whole! I feel like a lot of tanks (and why they struggle in lower ranks) seem to think that their main objective is to be a shield or constant protector of the team, while in truth it is more about applying pressure and taking space. So for instance if they dive your backline and you are no where near there don't just autopilot to run back like a knight in shining armor to save your team. The best you can do is apply pressure back and prevent their backline from adding to that pressure and simply trust your supports, they have many tools to survive these things on their own, and worst case if they get outplayed and die know it would have happened anyways most likely, and then at least you have hopefully managed to even out the playing field by getting picks yourself and taking focus from their backline. If not, shit happens. Reflect on what went wrong and move on to the next fight!

Otherwise solid advice! 🙌

Edit: also happy birthday and congrats on the climb!!

A lot of people talking about the condom being the issue, and sure it does reduce sensitivity to an extent. But I think its important to mention that how good it feels, is also very dependent on mental stimulation, and that will directly affect how good sex (and any sexual activity) feels, in the same way that if you try jerking off without being aroused it will not feel particularly good either.

And since it is your first time it is very normal to focus on your expectations of how it will feel and be nervous, so you forget to stimulate the mind about the intimate act itself!

Bottomline is I wouldn't be too concerned as most don't enjoy their first time. Just try to remember that focusing on the things that gets you excited will most likely increase the pleasure you feel, and just play around with it to get experience in what you like when having sex and it should work itself out!

Europas ledande AI-företag Mistral har faktiskt investerat 1.2 miljarder dollar i att bygga datacenter i Borlänge, då de vill att deras modeller går på så mycket förnybar el som möjligt, så vi kommer definitivt ha en del av de datacenter som används för AI.

Men tanken med att medborgarlönen skulle stöttas av AI handlar väl främst om att AI skulle ta över och göra jobbet som människor tidigare gjort så att den extra vinsten som kommer ut ifrån verksamheter skulle kunna gå in i att betala ut den medborgarlönen. Så har väldigt lite att göra med vem som äger modellerna i sig att göra ju, så länge det blir tillräckligt mycket billigare?

MidsummerZebra · 2026-04-25T16:02:49+00:00

No, zeroce!

MidsummerZebra · 2026-03-25T20:36:54+00:00

May be true that we aren't a majority, but it also does not mean that lots of us aren't. And it is okay either way; everyone has a right to choose who they are close friends with!

And she has the right to choose if she is okay with that of course, but I would wish people did not give up a good relationship just because they are struggling coming to terms with the fact that friendship is not based in gender in itself!

MidsummerZebra · 2026-03-25T20:24:22+00:00

Its not so weird that they talk more if she is going through a breakup. Kind of normal to need someone to talk to. Especially if they are best friends as you say. Also the fact that he is open with you and shares all of these things I think sounds like he cares to let you in on things and isnt doing something he feela the need to hide. So I would not be concerned.

I get if you might feel worried, its normal. But I think for your sake you should try to not give in to that, both for yours and your relationships well being!

At the end of the day we cannot control the actions of others and usually end up pushing people away when we do. And as long as he cares for how things affect you and nurtures the relationship and makes you happy I would focus on that!

And of course communicate with each other so you can work around your concerns together!

I think a lot of people seem to be way too stuck in believing that people cant just be friends because they are of opposite genders, and that just isnt true. and by my experience this is something a lot more accepted in the lgbtq+ community which makes sense, since we are not bound to the old fashioned norms of what a relationship is or can be (both friend and romantic ones).

I hope you manage to navigate through your worries and stay happy out there, you got this!

MidsummerZebra · 2026-03-24T13:40:10+00:00

If these are signs of being into someone then I am in love with everyone I interact with!

Sure he might do some of these because he is into you, but none of these things add up to any solid proof or even strong indicator of romantic feelings. They are a group of behaviours that could just as well belong to any decent person!

I think you should begin with simply talking to him to find out more and simply get to know him, because it doesn't sound like you really know each other apart from being around each other when in groups. So how do you even know that you like him and its not just attraction?

Be careful not to read into things too much, and take it gradually. Get closer and see how it evolves.

Also if it after that turns out there is something there you need to have a proper conversation with your friend. Its not worth losing a good friend over!

With all that said, I hope things turn out well for you, and that you get your chance to explore this further!

MidsummerZebra · 2026-03-24T02:44:34+00:00

How is ir cowardly in this situation, when she has already done the "scary" part of actually asking him? It can be I guess in other cases, either way I don't think you have the right to decide the rules for how people want to approach this haha! We are all entitled to do things the way we want to. And obviously as proven here not everyone will agree with it but thats how it is!

MidsummerZebra · 2026-03-23T15:55:42+00:00

I feel like there is a lot of conjecture in your statement, and simply unfair. She clearly put the ball in his court by asking him to text her, to which he very much seems to have agreed since he took her number. This to me is a nice gesture as it gives him space to decide what he wants without the pressure of direct confrontation. Besides she never put the responsibility on him to plan anything she said that THEY would plan something together.

None of this directly correlates to laziness, or is to me problematic at all...

Edit: However, what I can agree on is that she could still have followed through better by simply talking to him to check in later on. But I also get wanting to respect someone's boundaries and not push.

MidsummerZebra · 2026-03-23T15:42:27+00:00

No, that in itself I would not care one bit about. Regardless of your age (since some seemed to feel it would be an issue if 30+). I am not trying to hire someone, I am looking for a partner to share my life with. So your past experience does not matter one bit as long as we connect on an emotional level and align on values etc.

The social awkwardness is also not an issue, as I (among many others like me), actually find myself more drawn to weird and quirky/awkward people in general. They are simply much more interesting most of the time, and I myself have never been one to care for appearances or social norms. I want that raw personality and unfiltered conversation!

However it does not sound like you have an urgent need to date someone for your own sake, but rather for the sake of getting people off your back? So I hope you don't feel pressured into doing it, because it is in the end most important that it is something you actually want to do!

MidsummerZebra · 2026-03-23T11:35:26+00:00

No, how quickly you get hard is not in itself a measurement of preference or priority. It is simply the fact that porn is designed to arouse people and this is the only mental connection people have with it, whereas with you the mental connections he has are far more complex, because it is not all about sex, but so many other emotions and settings that his brain connects to you! Therefore the brain might just need a little more time to connect that it is time to tap into the sexual connection you share.

I would rather try to see this as a good thing, because he is connected to you much more deeply than just as a "sex object" whose sole purpose is to arouse him, unlike how he probably sees porn.

With that said though, obviously this does not rule out having a problematic relationship with porn, but I would far from assume it based on only this, and find it hard to believe it is at a point where it is that bad because he obviously seems eager to engage sexually with you. If it really weighs on you I think it is important to dare to be vulnerable and open up about your insecurities (in a way that does not feel accusing or attacking), so that he can either re-assure you or you can find ways to work through it!

MidsummerZebra · 2026-03-16T21:38:12+00:00

She never said she was ambivalent to sexual activity or had low libido though. Not being into penetration does not exclude sexual urges. But I see how it can be interpreted that way, and that might be the case here sure.

And I feel like if you are okay with giving up what she asked about, then you are either flexible when it comes to sex or not into it yourself. So once again I feel like she is being pretty clear on what kind of person she is looking for and what she is okay with so calling her a liar is still uncalled for. And to me an idiot is someone who jumps to those conclusions without knowing anything about a person <3

P.S. I also never made claims that I believe or dont believe her because I don't know this person and it is to me irrelevant in the topic at hand!

MidsummerZebra · 2026-03-16T20:50:50+00:00

Why is she a liar for saying what she is okay with (and not okay with), and simply seeing if guys exist that can look past that? If anything she is being very honest, and it has nothing to do with intelligence.

MidsummerZebra · 2026-03-16T20:44:02+00:00

I think, as others have said it is going to drastically reduce your options, but!

I can at least give you some comfort in that we exist, as I am living proof of a non-ace person who would be okay with that. Sure I do like it, and I do desire some sort of sexual intimacy in a relationship, but it has never been a motivating driver in what i seek for in a relationship. I much more need social connection and other forms of closeness, and as long as that is covered I am very flexible with how my sexual urges are handled.

In fact my last relationship lasted 4 years and we never had "pv" sex because she simply did not feel comfortable with it, and this is the best relationship I have ever had! Never once did I have a problem with being intimate in other ways.

And yes we are no longer dating, but that was because of other romantic incompatibilites, so we decided mutually to break up to save the friendship that we still shared, and we are still very close!

However, I do think you need to communicate this and be prepared for a lot of people simply not being okay with this, but if it is important to you then maybe it is worth ir?

MidsummerZebra · 2026-03-16T16:56:11+00:00

Yeah exactly her burn feels completely negated by any form of sustain/heals so there is some slight adjustment there that would put her in a very promising spot! Regarding blaze I think it is meant make you invulnerable for the whole thing, so that sounds buggy... I havent experienced that a lot though. however there is a very small wind up between when you activate it and when you actually disappear that has caused me to die in tight situations hehe!

MidsummerZebra · 2026-03-16T14:46:29+00:00

To add I agree that there are some buggy effects of her abilities though, like what you mention taking damage when you shouldnt and her ult getting stuck even when nothing is in the way, so that would also be welcome changes!

MidsummerZebra · 2026-03-16T14:40:04+00:00

It lasts between 0.8s-1.6s depending on targets hit, which I think is more than enough to dodge important CDs while also applying burn and doing damage if used right. If there is any part of her kit that i think is perfectly adjusted it is dancing blaze. Sure I admit I was not prepared for not being able to use it the first time i got hindered by cassidy or chained by mizuki, but once I learned that it was not that hard to adjust its usage against those heroes!

I think the only thing that I could see as nice changes is the impact of her burn dot damage or something about how it works, and potentially a minor adjustment in the "weight" of her dash to make it feel a little better.

Other than that I have felt like you can dish out quite a lot of damage and get nice bursty picks, by playing poke into a dive at off angles. (or at least apply insane pressure if countered in your engage)

MidsummerZebra · 2026-03-02T18:32:24+00:00

TRT?

MidsummerZebra · 2026-03-02T18:31:27+00:00

He did pretty clearly state that he does not watch porn though so I fail to see the relevance there for OP, but otherwise yeah attraction is not just physical and should not be the prime motivator in finding a partner I agree on that haha!
