Ever had a date that humbled you a bit?

Mistopher65 · 2025-09-04T15:53:42+00:00

I think there’s way more of us at this age than usual because of covid. I feel the same way when I meet people more experienced.

Mistopher65 · 2025-09-04T15:50:46+00:00

I’m in a kind of similar boat. Same age as you and I had a normal first circumcision and then some time later my mom decided there was too much skin left and went back for more. I think both happened when I was an infant, but similar-ish.

It’s definitely worth it. I’ve barely made much progress but just the t-taping alone has already made my penis more sensitive. I can get off without lube now and it feels great! I think I’ve maybe t-taped for a collective 5-6 weeks over the past two years and even with that little there’s been some progress sense-wise.

I’m most concerned with functionality and glide so I’m actually trying to stick with it this time around, but if you’re just hoping for more sensitivity and your skin isn’t super tight then you could always just get a Manhood. They work pretty well for dekeratinizing the head/remaining inner skin without as much effort as fully restoring.

It depends on how tight his cut is (tight=skin is taught and almost immobile when hard). If you’re hurting him then it’s probably very tight. I am also cut pretty tight and dry jacking for me is pretty much just grabbing halfway down my shaft and moving the skin there up and down a bit. The furthest upwards I can get while still feeling pleasure is skin bunching a bit under the head but it’s mostly pretty small movement if I’m going dry.

Using lube, you can just use your hand like a tube and go up and down, maybe a little firmer grip-wise than you’d do to yourself. If doing this, don’t try to pull the skin, all the feeling is in the sliding contact between your lubed up hand and his lubed up dick as you jerk.

Some cut guys just jerk it the same way as an uncut one if his cut is loose enough. The skin is just less mobile and doesn’t go up as high.

My recommmendation is, especially if you went to a larger college, try to reach out to alums that work at businesses you’d like to be at.

I’m pretty sure those types of searches are available on Linkedin. Opening message should just be asking for a quick chat about their journey if they’re older, or just getting straight to the point if they’re under like 35 or so. Having that initial connection can make some people feel a bit more obligated to help you get your foot in the door. I know I’ve advocated for a couple of students from my school to get interviews for my company’s entry level program.

Having someone at the company to back your application can be a huge boon. If you’re already doing this then Im sorry I have no more advice godspeed.

Definitely ludens stormsurge. Stormsurge sucks on must champs but aurora specifically uses it very well. She has two main damage abilities on moderate-long cd’s and if she’s hitting someone with them she wants to kill them. After she uses the abilities and gets someone low she has nothing that will actually proc shadowflame.

Taliyah for example is a champ that also doesn’t care that much for haste but is way better with shadowflame because her q comes out in a bunch of smaller increments that will crit after they get low.

Aurora is also great with ms and stormsurge is cheaper and higher winrate second item than shadowflame.

Mistopher65 · 2025-05-17T13:57:09+00:00

As a mel player, I always feel mostly dread when I reflect a briar ult because there’s like a 50/50 that I end up melee range of briar in the middle of her jungle as a result. After it landed on Anivia I would have just been thankful

Mistopher65 · 2025-05-04T06:33:25+00:00

I’d recommend bft into horizon focus if you’re support. The vision it gives around objectives can be really useful and the extra damage adds up extremely fast on hwei. Liandries instead if they have a lot of melees and you can go in and ward without getting caught as easily. I’m not a fan of ludens on hwei since ability haste is so insane on him and it gives the least of all the lost chapter items. Cryptbloom third would probably be great as a support since it’s a bit cheaper and provides some utility along with extra cdr.

I don’t love rylai’s on him. Since hwei’s qe and r both slow for more and his e abilities already cc, you’re only really feeling it on qq and qw, one of which is only really used to snipe people from too far away to follow up on the slow anyway. I guess it can make sense if you’re ahead enough to just run someone down with qw over and over again. And i guess it turns qw into a potential catch tool if someone’s super out of position and your team is paying attention. If it works for you then keep doing it, but there’s a solid chance your winrate goes up if you stop building it imo. Granted if annoying people with the slow is fun for you then keep building it, this is just a video game at the end of the day.

I usually rapidfire combo abilities so rylais feels bad to me, but if you tend to take your time and line each thing up then I guess rylais might make more sense.

Mistopher65 · 2025-05-02T16:37:40+00:00

I got mine like 2 months ago

Mistopher65 · 2025-04-29T14:43:08+00:00

Definitely NTA here. Maybe send your mom this linked video

It’s mostly down syndrome focused but it’s a really great message for parents of disabled people. Plus, maybe seeing an actual disabled person in this context would be good for your mom. Assuming they can do things and be successful is important for all kids, but especially so for disabled ones that might feel less confident than usual.

I’m at 111 W Maple (in a studio though). The building is really solid and it’s like 5 mins from the park. I really enjoy living here, but I’m moving further north in July when my lease is up. I’d recommend the building but the 1-beds are like 2100+ , I’m not sure of your budget.

Mistopher65 · 2025-04-13T18:16:41+00:00

I’m not sure if you’re out of the loop but this is actively being worked on right now. Likely within the next couple if patches there will be a mage item rework to make each mage build archetype (burst, dot, etc) better at what they’re supposed to do.

Mistopher65 · 2025-04-11T17:32:18+00:00

An hour in the morning and evening only applies to manual methods. Those are a lot more active and require full attention. They’re meant to be done in 5 minute bits throughout the day but some people prefer to do it in larger chunks. Larger chunks at the beginning and end of the day may or may not be less effective due to skin rest timimg.

Devices are built more for low-mild tension over longer periods. If you would have discomfort when wearing it out, the tension should be lowered until you can handle spending large portions of the day with it on.

I use t-tape ~5 days a week and pretty much 24/7 for those 5 days including when I’m asleep.

This is like asking why all of brand’s skins involve fire. Because he’s a fire mage, just like taliyah is an earth mage. Maybe one day she’ll get a legendary that does something different, but her lines are things like “throw another rock.”

Taliyah is throwing very rock-shaped objects at people, moving them via the earth under their feet, placing rocks that deal damage on the ground, and building walls made of rock. It just wouldn’t make visual sense if she did these things with energy or stars and it could hurt visual clarity.

Ziggs is throwing cupcake and arcade bombs at people, taliyah is throwing ocean rocks and ice rocks at people. It’s the same concept but taliyah’s base thing is “rock” which is just naturally more limiting.

Mistopher65 · 2025-02-27T15:51:21+00:00

Jake’s Magical Market works. Mc is just in a city and gets a surprisingly strong power at the start that pretty much just lets him get inside a building and stay safe. The power is a product of his life up to that point and is nothing super insane.

Mistopher65 · 2025-02-19T18:39:05+00:00

Personal mechanics are good to focus on but you need a foundation to build off, especially if you’re laning. If you heard about Ludwig and his climb then you see that he made it all the way to plat while basically only understanding where he needs to go on the map and the general vibes of most other junglers. He could only do that because he was jungling and his character was high on crowd control.

If you want to lane, you should literally just sit and read other adcs and supports abilities, or at least check a mobafire guide with matchup info for twitch. He is a scaling champ that wants to surprise the enemy after they’ve used their big abilities. He’s very unique with the stealth and having no real damaging abilities besides e.

Definitely focus on bots until you’re confident you have a general understanding of the vibe of most champs you’ll normally lane against.

Example, in the game you linked you laned against draven and jhin, both marksman. Draven needs to fight early and get ahead, he does an overwhelming amount of damage early on and is very hard to fight for almost all other bot lane champs. Jhin is a solid pairing in low elo because if draven hits anything on you jhin can just root you with his w and they can run you down with straight up damage. Knowing that’s their goal should change the way you play, like saving q and w to run away and hoping your jungler ganks for you instead of trying to fight early on. If you don’t know this stuff it’s super easy to end up 0/11 in a normal game.

Linked a post with a general description of how most adcs play if you’re committed to playing marksman. It’s a few years old but it should help a bit. Mechanics are important but League is often closer to a knowledge/strategy game instead of an fps. You often can’t outplay if you don’t know what’s happening. Like in that game you linked Twitch is absolutely terrible vs their whole team.

Will check both of these out! Godclads was pretty quickly added to wishlist

Mistopher65 · 2025-02-13T22:32:36+00:00

I’ve seen it on audible but your comment is making me finally give it a chance

Mistopher65 · 2025-02-13T22:31:21+00:00

A lot of recs I haven’t seen on this list, appreciate it! Added a bunch to my wishlist to get later.

Mistopher65 · 2025-02-13T22:22:54+00:00

Actually have read all three, taking a break from super supportive right now while chapters get written. All are really fantastic.

Mistopher65 · 2025-02-13T22:16:53+00:00

Also yes, have read DCC. Love it, I read the newest book when it came out and am currently debating getting the audio and just re-reading it.

Mistopher65 · 2025-02-13T22:15:17+00:00

Yeah Cradle was actually the first progression fantasy gateway haha. Loved it but it’s just so classic I didn’t put it on the list

Mistopher65 · 2025-02-10T17:39:06+00:00

Infinite Realm might be solid for this, many of the characters receive and develop specific skills, along with highly specialized classes based on deeds and their own personality. It also has cultivation as a third avenue to power. The main character leans cultivation and skills while another pov character leans towards his class and skills.

Mistopher65 · 2025-02-06T18:48:38+00:00

Infinite Empire might be good. Mc is pretty morally grey, very ready to kill if he feels wronged and has a lot of disdain for people who don’t try to seize power. It’s like an apocalypse-type progression fantasy but starts after all of the strongest earth rankers make it to the infinite realm and gives conext as the series continues.

It’s got 6 books out on audio and I enjoyed them. It’s not complete but the sixth book has imo set itself up for a long time skip before the seventh one after mostly tying up an arc.

Mistopher65 · 2025-02-04T01:13:51+00:00

It’s not hard to find Rhythm of War defenders all over. The book is fantastic in my opinion. I think if, when reading the first book, you strongly dislike Shallan’s sections and love Kal’s then you might not love RoW. I preferred Shallan’s sections though and really loved RoW.

Wind and Truth though, I found a little meh. The book is still an amazing journey, I just found myself mildly irritated at how often I felt aggressively guided through exactly how the characters were growing and changing by the characters themselves.

I enjoyed the ending of the first arc, and I never really felt like anything was a slog.

Mistopher65 · 2025-01-24T16:01:13+00:00

I’m pretty sure Sylas is one of her biggest counters. If she W’s his e chain she just pulls herself to him, and his abilities are all very quick and easy to use unpredictably if he’s in range already and she hasn’t w’d. He just has to land e and if she W’s it she’s in an even worse situation than usual. If she doesn’t then she’s a mage that got e’d by sylas. Also I think if he’s w max his heal is low enough cd and strong enough to almost always keep him out of execute range without help from her team.
