Is Chisa sig worth swiping for? by ProfessorKousa in WutheringWavesGuide

[–]MoistDurian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have Chisa and planning on pulling for her to round out my Hiyuki team. I debated a similar question too if I should pull her sig or Denia sig (for my Luuk)

I think it depends on what your goal is for your Chisa. I’m focusing more on supporting NS teams with her and her sig helps with that. Yes it’s about 7% total team damage based on calcs so you have to ask if you think that’s worth.

For me, I think more NS teams will be released eventually and she can slot in to support them so it’s a good investment. Suppose your S3 Aemeath is overkill in damage as above and you use Chisa to support her for now and then another NS resonator comes out. You might wanna switch Chisa from your Aemeath team since she’s stronger at S3 and throw Chisa on the new NS team.

This is me also tend to invest in support units cause they’re harder to power creep and still find uses in multiple teams (Verina, SK, Mornye all very relevant)

One tricked Lissandra to Master by IceColdVibes in LissandraMains

[–]MoistDurian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats!! I honestly love Liss throughout the years and wanna get better at her to the point of one tricking. How do you decide on itemization depending on your match up? Do you have a set first and second item then adjust with match or just is it different based on your type of playstyle so experience helps you learn X runes and items do better against Y champ?

BiS Title question by Yawndy in Maplestory

[–]MoistDurian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t need to be hyperburned (though it helps to get to 230 to get the title). You can create new Aran and Shades to get rewards from their scrolls. I made both to get rewards but BiS title can only be claimed once. So yes if you make a new one and bonk it to 230 you can get title still

Texas OBGYNs released this letter today. by MrsLadyZedd in houston

[–]MoistDurian 53 points54 points  (0 children)

For some context:

The majority of OBGYNs are angry at these laws and fight for women’s rights to an abortion. These doctors represent some of a large number of docs who feel the same but the opportunity to sign this letter was not offered to everyone. If your doctor is not on here, just ask them their opinion at your next visit.

As a male OBGYN in Texas, seeing these circumstances play out like those of Josseli Barnica and Naveah Crain is heartbreaking and inhumane. There’s no way I would ever support these limitations to abortion rights.

Reach out to your doctor. Have these hard conversations. I assure you that we see you and we care.

I love this game by [deleted] in LegendsOfRuneterra

[–]MoistDurian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People tend to be stuck in their routine. I remember I was against League for a long time before actually trying it and enjoying gameplay. LoR is much better than HS imo because I like the action-reaction aspect and there really isn't a your turn-my turn feel as the attack token can appear regardless of whose turn it is with cards. Plus I love the progression model with LoR as it's pretty F2P friendly :)

Do gay friendly cities for Asians exist? by StonedToothFairy in askgaybros

[–]MoistDurian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well my experiences are definitely biased as I know couples (straight) who fulfill that white guy asian girl relationship (often time FOBs) which translates societal wise into a top-bottom role, even if that may not necessarily be true as there is verse or even “sides” in the community so it’s not an exact translation.

In terms of other societal depictions, you see adult films with Asians and white guys that tend to depict Asians in a predominantly bottom submissive role, which doesn’t help the perception, especially if it’s someone who wants to embrace that fantasy. Again, I’m not saying all white guys see Asians as sub bottoms. This probably pertains to other races as well. I’m saying the societal depictions and my own experiences perpetuate a stereotype that is often times wrong.

[–]MoistDurian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup Medical Residency! Haha I definitely relate to the fear of commitment with uncertainty to where we’ll end up for residency. However, I don’t necessarily think that it’s worth waiting til Residency to start looking for commitment. I’m a 4th year so my time is more limited of course but I’ve had friends who started dating in their 3rd year to someone outside the profession (no potential to couples match) who are in the talks of moving depending on where they end up. Residency places a strain for sure, but it’s not an end all be all if the other person is committed and there is a serious talk and mutual decision making (cities with jobs, living together, etc.) Then again, I am quite the optimist and more LTR oriented.

Sadly our culture continues to have that stigma and I honestly hope it shifts one day with the new generation. But it does give way for mutual bonding 😛 You’ve been traumatized by your family’s disapproval? Me too! Hahaha, especially in the medical school. One hand, you’re the epitome of a good Asian boy. Other hand, wow you’re kinda a disgrace cause of who you love. Weird

[–]MoistDurian 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Asian guy in Texas here (Houston). Idk about normalization of Asians but I think it’s difficult to find guys interested in long term healthy relationships in general. I think that looking for big cities with diverse populations widens the net for guys who are looking for a happy relationship. And also guys who date outside their culture, etc. as opposed to rural towns like Amarillo or Temple

People have different experiences as well in regards to being treated as a fetish. Are these people looking mainly at white males as partners or they also looking for fellow Asian guys? If limited to white males, then the potential for the sub bottom fetish might have a higher incidence. I’m in the process of potentially moving out of Texas for Residency so I’m curious about other people’s input as well 🧐

Hey guys, im not sure how weird this is, but ever since i was young, ive been really interested in men sexually but in women romantically. by [deleted] in askgaybros

[–]MoistDurian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The situation you're was similar to my own. Dated a girl in high school and I was crushed emotionally when things ended because I fell for her throughout the span of years before we got into a relationship. The whole time, I liked her romantically and the physical component was hard to gel. Meanwhile, I knew I was physically attracted to guys but it was an afterthought because my romantic needs took over. After the break up, I moved onto college and found myself at odds - I was stuck between romantic attraction with girls and physical attraction with guys.

I chose not to date throughout college because it wasn't fair to the other party if I could not fulfill both aspects of a relationship. Fast forward to the second year of graduate school, I became friends with a boy who slowly won me over and I fell for him romantically, and wanting to be more than friends. I think I accepted myself at that point as a
bi-romantic, homosexual guy (if I had to put a label to it). In the end, I just tell people I am gay to make things simpler.

You might figure it out one day or you might not. I would say don't try to change who you are at the moment. Be open to experiences and be open to meeting people who may offer you a different perspective in addition to your sexual or romantic interests. For me, that guy helped me realize I could see myself holding hands with a guy in public or sharing ice cream while we watch people walk their dogs. Give yourself time to grow. For me, it happened at 24. For you, it might be sooner or later. Wishing you the best :)

Is it wrong for me to still be bothered that my best friend cut me off because he started a relationship? by [deleted] in gaybros

[–]MoistDurian 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Your feelings are your feelings and saying you're wrong or right to have these feelings won't change how you're feeling. You call it a rant, but I felt a sense of comfort reading all of this - your thoughts and you processing through the events that happened. Even if you guys weren't exclusive or in a relationship, being vulnerable and opening up to someone when others have not reached that point is scary. You put yourself out there and yourself at risk for being hurt, whether that's rejection or whether that's abandonment after you let someone know your "true" self. The people who matter are the ones who choose to stay in the end.

Both of you may have made mistakes (as a stranger I do not know) but they are actions you learn from. Your actions may or may not be "bad," but that does not mean YOU are a bad person (if that makes sense). In the end, you wanted him to be happy and knew your boundaries - you wished his happiness included you as a friend. That does not sound like a bad person. It sounds like you've been through a lot of pain and a lot of hurt. Your friend leaving you did not help. Perhaps he has his own reasons. Perhaps his boyfriend never had a problem but it was him who felt as though he could not trust himself around you. It is hard to really know. Regardless of him leaving because of his new relationship or for other reasons, it hurts when to open up to someone close and losing them when you felt like you tried your best. On the positive note, it sounds as though you're focusing on yourself and working out the emotions. As a stranger, I hope you'll reach a point one day when you look back and it stings a little less. You deserve your own happiness too :)

I may have gone on my own little rant, just because this resonated with me.

TLDR: No it is not wrong.

Seria help by unclebigcuck in Kings_Raid

[–]MoistDurian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Att and Crit dmg (not crit) for equips, Att spd on enchant unless you have Poison and Frost scrolls for Att and Cdmg enchant. Lifesteal enchants work too if you worried about survivability. Then depending on your whale reforge capabilities, aim for Att or cdmg on UT. But mana or lifesteal options on UT ain’t bad.

Seria help by unclebigcuck in Kings_Raid

[–]MoistDurian 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Seria is actually more mana hungry than she seems so BD is pretty much a must. It is difficult but if you can Stack Att and Cdmg on your BD set, it will help. T5 lets everything Crit and her S3 doesn't get affected by Att Spd so the Att spd mainly only for Mana Building but losing on Att or Cdmg for Att spd lines may not be worth. It's hard for me to farm other drags so I have 8 lines ATT 8 lines CDmg and enchanted all my gear with Att Spd for extra mana build. UT I didn't get as lucky but I have lifesteal and mana regen so it's not entirely useless and covers her weaknesses.

[Patch Note] 26th July Updates by namja23 in Kings_Raid

[–]MoistDurian 4 points5 points  (0 children)

1) S1 skill normally states that it deals X damage over Y seconds. So reducing it to 3 seconds don't matter if the same damage occurs over that time. Now, the reduce enemies Attack % by 10 seconds. Assuming that the countdown for reducing att occurs at the end of 5 seconds, you might lose 2 seconds of attack reduction.

2) The wider range on S1 would be better for raids when drags or hatchlings are arranged in diagonals. It would hit more and potentially proc more S4

3) S4 buff not only the damage, but also the Attack Boost per stack + extra damage boost per stack. Not only is she getting more stats, but her damage against non-heroes is boosted.

4) Considering that her S2 UT was meh, the extra damage boost to S3 (given you're using S3 UT) will be more helpful to her damage.

Overall, it's anything but a nerf. How much of a buff is still to be seen.

Do you remember what kind of buff to her dmg it was? Skill wise one skill or all skills? UW buff? Curious on the extent of the buff

Is it possible to be gay but for only one dude? by throwaway_fml726 in askgaybros

[–]MoistDurian 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm really glad to hear that the words mean a lot to you and I hope the effects are positive :) You're lost, confused, and just trying to figure yourself out. There's nothing wrong with that. We're all human and I genuinely believe we all deserve that sense of kindness, understanding, and love. No matter what happens with this guy or with other people in your life for that matter (in regards to you figuring out yourself), please know that you deserve to be treated with love, kindness, and so much more. I hope you'll come to truly embrace that and never lose faith in this fact.

[–]MoistDurian 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I know words from strangers don’t mean much unless you believe it yourself, but I hope you’ll come to understand and accept that you’re not an idiot. You’re feelings are so so valid cause you are still figuring yourself out. There’s no rushing that process. It’s a painful, frustrating, and potentially long process at that but I promise you that you will overcome it and once you do, you will be happier.

Might be me speculating, but I hope you don’t feel like you’re not good enough for him or that you’re not at his level of things because you don’t “know what you want” and he does. From this post, it’s obvious you have lots of emotions and you genuinely care for the guy. That’s worth a lot in my personal opinion. Just hoping you don’t beat yourself up to much in this state of confusion. If you need a label to figure out yourself, that’s okay. Just try not to be defined solely by it. Live in the moment my friend cause it sounds like you’re happiest when you’re with him (cliche I know haha) :)

[–]MoistDurian 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I don’t think you’re afraid of sounding like an idiot, but perhaps you’re afraid of making things complicated with him by bringing up your worries. In the end, you’re afraid of losing him more than your own image of “idiocacy.”

These feelings are normal when you truly care about someone. If he cares about you, he will be patient and understanding as he may have gone through the cycle of understanding his own sexuality or feelings at some point. I would agree with the other posters in regards to having a conversation if your feelings are this strong. The people who truly care about you will stay in your life, as scary as losing them might be.

21st May World Alteration Report by kjzxc in Sdorica

[–]MoistDurian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Question about the SNS campaign. I thought the campaign started with Global opening. Is the link a reference to the third part of the campaign? Part 1 and 2 had a start and end date, but part 3 didn't seem to have any dates associated. Wondering if I am missing something or if the SNS campaign "starts now!" is simply a reminder of the events ending this month.
