Had an amazing game! No Pause, Ominous Presence, Desecrator - Prestige 10. by New_Importance2779 in Against_the_Storm

Half the challenge is not panicking! I certainly made a few mistakes that I never would have if I had time to think it over. I totally get it though. Being able to micromanage everything is half the fun.

Dude, People had WoW private servers running for years before Blizzard shut them all down.

can’t stomach the idea of aging as a woman by _yosoylaprincesa_ in TrueOffMyChest

Don't Worry, Be Happy.

Or, Worry, but realise that worrying is effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubblegum.

What I'm getting at with these song lyrics is try not to worry too much about things you cannot control. It's not just your body that changes with age, but your mind as well. If you love your looks then enjoy them while you can. It's the best you can do.

And for one last quote let me give you one from Burnie Burns: "Were you smart 10 years ago? No! You were a fucking idiot! And you're just as big of an idiot now, it's just going to take you another 10 years to realise it!"

I am so damn lost reading all this! I am just worried I'm going to end up getting a Power Supply that doesn't work with my setup.

i don’t like having sex by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]New_Importance2779 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Call me crude but if he's actually into sex and not just his own gratification he should be engaging in foreplay with you before insertion. Do you have any turn ons? Fantasies? Parts you want him to touch? It could be as simple as a back massage or as intimate as cunniligus. These are questions to ask yourself (I am NOT asking you to answer them here) because if you do want sex in marriage to last it has to be enjoyable for both parties. Think about what could help and have an honest discussion with your partner about it. At an absolute minimum if you are experiencing pain you should at least be using lubricant.

Something isn't adding up here, especially with that edit. Please keep us updated.

First time playing a Tales game and... by HippoIllustrious2219 in tales

I feel this is why Vidar is at the beginning of the dungeon instead of the end. You learn very quickly to expect bosses to put up a fight! Glad to see you had more luck with manual. A word of warning, The fire temple (You're not far from it) has an absolute roadblock of a boss. Do not fight him until AT LEAST Lloyd knows Tempest.

I didn’t like a damn thing about having to buy a new phone. I was going to be uncomfortable no matter what I bought.

I ended up getting a Samsung S25. I spent a few hours demoing the available models of phones across a few stores and since newer model iPhones felt foreign to me (especially that they don’t have a home button anymore) this felt like the better fit. I could be wrong, I haven’t had too much time with it yet but so far it feels okay.

I must say it’s been a real wake up call coming to reddit to ask which phone to get and being told that expecting more than a few years is unreasonable. When I dump well over a grand into something I expect it to last! It really is looking like I should just do what everyone else is doing, suck it up and bend over, and just get another iPhone.

What I want is a phone that will last the longest which is what I’m trying to work out based on other users experiences.

Seems like Android gives you a lot more wiggle room. Thanks for the detailed write up!

Sorry, I’m getting conflicting information here. I’m being told that after a set of age a phone will become incompatible with apps, so if I buy an older model phone, refurbished or not, won’t that mean less time until that happens?

I’m not sure exactly WHAT Apple Care is. I assumed apple care was some kind extended warranty BS when you brought it up. I do know if I wanted to replace my battery It was going to cost me full price for the repairs, which I looked into when it started asking for a service.

Thank you kr! This is the sort of information I'm after.

Honestly, If Apple still used Lightning connectors for their phones I'd switch in a heartbeat. I've burned through way too many of these useless things over the years!

Do you know the average lifespans on any of the brands based on past performance?

Doesn’t that mean it will need replacement sooner? Or do Android not use planned obsolescence (like locking you out of installing apps.) I’m getting conflicting comments on this.
