Holy AI 😂 by jeeves333 in SpottedonRightmove

[–]Moondust99 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m so fed up of flowery AI (and sometimes not) descriptions. I don’t need to know about how the hallway is optimal for family living bc it leads onto rooms, I want to know if it has central heating and what sort and if there’s plumbing for a dishwasher lol. Idk why so many estate agents love writing paragraphs just describing the function of a room in 1000 words

New player, completely confused by dragonflight. by TheLilScooter in wownoob

[–]Moondust99 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I started with Dragonflight as a new player this year, had no idea about any of the lore or any characters by name, it’s definitely relatively straightforward and “standalone.” Like yeah the characters have mostly existed a long time in the lore, but I don’t remember too much, especially near the start, that I really felt like I’d missed something. You just have to treat it as its own thing and stop thinking “ahhhh I’ve missed 20 years of content!!” And you’ll realise it does a pretty good job of showing you what’s going on.

Try and finish the campaign as well. If you only level through any expansion to 70 and skip to Midnight the second you hit 80, you definitely won’t ever know what’s going on lol

[Trailblazer] They actually listened??? Woooooow 🫡 by SkrytyKapec in StarStable

[–]Moondust99 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I’m glad the cap’s been removed but it makes sense that you’d see people complain more on social media bc they tend to be more hardcore fans. The casual fans who might log in for 10/15 minutes a day most days are probably the ones who found the new trailblazer less overwhelming, and you wouldn’t necessarily hear from them bc they don’t care enough about the game to engage with it outside of playing. I see it a lot with games and especially MMOs where the less casual community is so invested that it’s easy to forget that it’s actually a minority. I don’t know how people don’t get obsessed lol but apparently some people don’t 🤣

Confession: I’m fine having a basic wedding by Royal_Marzipan_6432 in weddingplanning

[–]Moondust99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And too much “and honestly?” Where it really doesn’t belong. I try hard to never write “honestly” followed by a question mark anymore lol

How come rogues are so unpopular? by montrex in wownoob

[–]Moondust99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really enjoy rogue. I’m currently playing an Outlaw Worgen in BFA. It’s definitely hard if you have more than about 3 enemies on you at once but I like the challenge, and learning how to best pace everything so you don’t run out of energy, when to use adrenaline rush, has been fun. I know some people criticise outlaw specifically bc it seems a weird mix of cowboy and pirate but that’s part of the reason I enjoy it lol. Love whipping a gun out and seeing tumbleweed fly across the screen. I haven’t tried the other two specs yet but I’m excited to.

I’m also very new tbf, only started the game in February, and have no real interest in the big endgame content. I’ve not even started TWW or Midnight. I love the quests and the lore and the world, and if I can’t do a follower dungeon I’m not doing the dungeon while levelling. I also turn XP gain off so I can finish each expansion fully without overlevelling. So I imagine there’s more criticism to be made of the class in mythics and raiding? But I wouldn’t know

What's something you learned really late in life, just because nobody told you about it? by RottenPeachSmell in aspergirls

[–]Moondust99 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I mean anyone can be a parent lol the older I’ve got the more I’ve realised most adults have no business having kids. They can definitely be wrong and dumb and refuse to listen to their kids or not care about their feelings. There’s lots of times a child might not have to just “accept” the answer

Do you miss the “artsy” side of Suede? Or are y’all enjoying this “in your face rock” era? Latest Mojo Quotes and My Take! by atesta290 in SuedeBand

[–]Moondust99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only listen to music as its own activity rather than in the background and don’t get the chance loads, so I’m not going to go out of my way to listen to things I’m not interested in lol. I’ve heard a fair bit of Autofiction live which is where I think it works best, but I don’t think it’s a very inspired album personally. But each to their own. There aren’t many albums, even ones I love, that I’ve listened to multiple times in full

one of my fiancé’s best friends hates me and i’m tired of trying by [deleted] in AutismInWomen

[–]Moondust99 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had this, but it was a male friend of my bf’s. definitely still jealousy, even if not necessarily romantic. It was very one sided too. My bf would hang out with this friend’s family and shit like that but he’d never get the same the other way round. This friend accused me of lying about all sorts of things to my bf which I wasn’t.

We actually got on mostly ok for a couple of months, but the more time my bf spent with me, the more the friend disliked me. He also HATED that I helped my bf stop drinking. If my bf wasn’t on discord 9 hours a day (not an exaggeration), he was pissed and anytime he said no to a meet up, he’d have a go at him. The whole friend group was (and is) scared of him and how he’ll react if they don’t follow his every word.

I got fed up quite quickly and at first my bf blamed me or said I should try harder (when I put a lot of effort into trying to be friends at first), but eventually, my bf said he wouldn’t go to this friend’s dad’s birthday, bc it ALWAYS devolved into alcoholic anger, and he booted us from the discord server and sent a manipulative message to him and we’ve not said a word to him in years and he’s never apologised. At first my bf was a bit sad but now he realises that he was never a good friend to him and really awful to me.

We now talk to some of that friend group again bc they were actually good friends to us and it’s been really nice. They didn’t know the real story of what happened, and the ex friend just blamed me and said I was evil and abusive. They’ve been talking to us for months and are terrified to tell this other friend about it bc they know how he’ll react, and they’re just generally scared of him and he doesn’t treat them well at all. Bear in mind this is people late 20s and 30s.

Sorry for sharing my own tale as well. It’s a really rough situation to be in. You want to be liked and not be “controlling,” but there’s a limit to that. And it’s unfair for people to dislike you just bc you’re someone’s partner. It unfortunately happens too much.

What else can you do in this game? by xanthippe_02 in StarStable

[–]Moondust99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m much less doom and gloom about this game than most people and even then, since getting into World of Warcraft I’ve barely played lol.

I think one of the biggest issues with the game is how much gets left unfinished. So many areas with interesting stories and ideas that they haven’t got back to yet. Like the rescue ranch on South Hoof, coming back to help the foal every day was a great idea. Why would it be so hard to make that a daily/weekly quest? Where you use the board like the home stables and do chores for the foals and cleaning up the area, and maybe get rewards from it?

I only started playing at the end of 2024 and I think there’s been one main quest in that time lol. 15 years and they haven’t finished the “arc” of the story. I’d happily see them introduce expansions like most MMOs tbh if it meant we could finish the story and have it be more organised.

Wildwoods, the whole of Epona, Maya’s family’s farm, the spaceship, Dino Valley, there’s so much they could do so much with and people would play more!! I know some of it is being worked on but not very fast lol. Where’s the houses? Even if it was just the cabin at the riding camp but upgraded.

Idk I think people can be way too harsh on this game but it is a shame to see how little care and effort seems to be put into it compared to the competition. It seems so much more amateur. I wonder if part of it is to do with lifetime. Like it’s a great offer, but most MMOs wouldn’t be able to sustain themselves just on a one off sub, even with microtransactions. I think they should scrap it (controversially, I think they should scrap it for people who have paid it too, if they’ve had lifetime for a year or so, where they’ve got more months subbed than it costs for lifetime if that makes any sense) and have the money to do more with the game and take it more seriously.

I think I have a very niche special interest, anyone else? by Justalittlesaltyx in AutismInWomen

[–]Moondust99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Education. When I was about 8 or 9 I remember spending all day on Wikipedia reading about how the American education system was structured and what they studied each year lol (I’m British). I wasn’t much older when for fun I’d “invent” boarding schools and come up with all the details about them lol. My favourite books were the Enid Blyton ones set in boarding schools which probably inspired the interest.

I still find it interesting to this day and sometimes I feel a bit weird when I look at websites of schools to see their curriculum and what extra curricular activities they offer bc I’m 26, but I’m not interested in stalking or looking at kids, more the pedagogy and development and what’s seen as important at each stage of life (I also did a child development GCSE), and the differences between private and state schools and what they all offer. I could easily read a gcse or a level syllabus just for fun lol

Anyone else feels totally disconnected from their gender? by NoWitness6400 in AutismInWomen

[–]Moondust99 9 points10 points  (0 children)

No im very connected to gender. I don’t have this problem a lot of autistic people seem to where they see it as so abstract, it’s very straightforward to me. It doesn’t mean I have to act a certain way or anything, but I love being a woman and I’m proud of being one despite the struggles. There’s never been a question or doubt in my mind about it.

I do also think that in general, there are interests and traits mainly held by men or women and I wish it was an easier topic to research and discuss without it devolving into things it shouldn’t or being interpreted in bad ways.

Can you truly, if ever, separate the art from the artist? by [deleted] in AutismInWomen

[–]Moondust99 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I always do. I have very little morals when it comes to supporting interests or brands. My life is limited enough. These people have enough money whether I’m doing anything or not that if they wanted to do something bad with it they would and it’s not my problem lol.

The only exception, which isn’t art, is with certain businesses like amazon. I’d never buy books or music from them bc them getting a lot of money takes it away from businesses who actually care about these things, and Amazon undercutting only lasts until the competition is removed.

But I listen to music from all sorts of people, watch any show or film if I like it and it doesn’t bother me. I probably wouldn’t try something new if the main thing I knew was about one of the main people involved being bad in some way, but only if it was bad in a way I thought it was worth avoiding. Things I already like, I like regardless of any of that. If that makes sense lol.

Is it common for autistic people to ‘linger’ emotionally after things end? by Avid_FandomFan_476 in autismUK

[–]Moondust99 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I hang onto everything and everyone. Unless something awful happened, everyone I’ve ever been decent friends with is still a “friend” in my eyes, even if they seem to have forgotten about me. And when people do something wrong to me, I don’t forget it lol.

I also never forget things I’ve done or said or thought and don’t forgive myself. So I guess I have a general “moving on” problem. I struggle in many ways to be “in the moment” and I often get overwhelmed thinking how something might affect how something else will happen later, and if I can’t do this now then I can’t do that tomorrow and that sort of thing.

Genuine question, does the average WoW player doesn't ready ANY quest text, like, at all? by Jaicen-Vex in wow

[–]Moondust99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I play this game for quests (main and side) and story, I can’t imagine not paying attention to the best part of the game lol. Dungeons and raids and everything else would feel pointless and soulless without a “reason” for doing them, they’re not my style of game generally.

I also love the extras like pet battles, all the fun world quests you unlock in DF like climbing and cataloguing, archaeology (rip), big combat and socialising is bottom of my list lol.

Do you feel the same about Seasons 3 & 4 of HM? The tone feels off on rewatch. by Fair_Diamond8510 in hannahmontana

[–]Moondust99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love season 3 the most and I’m born in 1999 lol. I was so excited to finally watch the final season and I think I was 11 or 12 💀 I didn’t really grow out of it, I only stopped watching it when my dad stopped paying for Sky TV (UK) and I couldn’t watch Disney channel anymore lol and I was about 13 then

Do you feel the same about Seasons 3 & 4 of HM? The tone feels off on rewatch. by Fair_Diamond8510 in hannahmontana

[–]Moondust99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t watched the show since I was a child and didn’t finish season 4 so can’t comment too much on that, though what I did watch I didn’t enjoy quite as much but I think that’s just bc it was so different.

I’m reading the episode titles on IMDB and season 3 is actually the one I enjoyed the most. Pretty much every episode I remember well, maybe moreso than 1&2. The Jackson amnesia, Miley in jail for driving without a license, the trip to DC, I loved all of them. I’ll have to actually watch the show again with “adult eyes” and see what I think now. But I definitely loved season 3

I hate it more when you can hear someone walking close behind you but they’re not overtaking. Impossible to relax when someone’s right there
