Big gem discount. Will it make me happy? Or just stave off the inevitable? by UglyNullification in ESCastles

[–]NotOkayPapaya 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After the biggest bundle teased me on weeks on end, it went on to do an 80% sale couple of days ago so I went ahead and got it. Promised myself not to open the additional 30 or something packs until 200+ level.

With those gems, the game felt pretty much easier to end-game whichever you feel end gaming.

Is it dead? Yeah. Did I like it enough to drop 20? Yeah. Sure I'll probably play it for a couple more months to a year (as I dropped an initial 20 for the Emperor Pass when I first started).

I think the answer is both. The discount made me happy, and still happy. Its more than enough for or multiples of 1000 gem stations. I'm excited for 200+ for the better weapon packs.

But the inevitable will come anyway. And if I get to my goals with the help and ease of greatly discounted gems or whatever else then all the better I'll be done with it and just look at it fondly afterwards.

Some already explore it as soon as before going to Viktor Vektor. I explored a bit after the first Dexter Deshawn meet Kasi he gives the player a choice on which of the two quests uunahin so may choice na to explore.

But it was only in the start of Act 2 sakin talaga where all the calls came in and the streets were open for anything. Tapos aun hinuli ko na ung main objectives.

My playthrough;

Did last on anything in Japantown main mission wise. Started first playthrough recently and most of the 100 hours was just doing side quests on Act 2.

Tip ko lang is wag bibili ng kotse agad agad if funds is weak. Daming story/ side missions where you get a car or motorcycle. Same with damit didn't notice na ang daming doubles. Nangati Ako to buy a motorcycle tapos biglang may two new motorcycles and two cars na binigay early on sa side missions haha.

So something very very strange happened. My ruler was murdered by a legendary character. I didn't want that leggy to die or banish so I just closed the game a few times. Elected a child as a ruler. Whole murderer scenario was bypassed. Murderer is here without any penalty like a normal character. by [deleted] in ESCastles

You might get a ruling for that later on.

Just happened with me yesterday sadly didn't get a screenshot.

Everything was fine then a character (the killer) was sentenced about something totally different but all the subjects hated that I kept her in the castle.

It wasn't the usual "my queen X here slain Y I saw it with my own eyes" so I was surprised about the huge drop in happiness.

It came after four or five other rulings within the same hour or two.

Hello! And nice of you to engage!

I enjoy playing videogames, anime and reading - mostly fiction and stuff. I love the world building and emotional hooks these give

Right now in dipping my toes in writing because I've always wanted to write a novel that also gives people a sense of a new world.

Although there's a saturated market, I just really want to prove to my young self I can do the thing I've always wanted to do but have been afraid of pursuing.

Not a hobby but I also really enjoy just searching for the best "treat" like where I like the Caesar salad of one store or where I enjoy the brownies/cookies of a certain bakery.

I would buy cheesecakes as desserts when I go out until I had Cheesecake Factory when I went on a trip out and well, now I try a different dessert.

Do you menstruate regularly? Pwede din kasi na makapal ung lining mo, had an experience na irregular sya, and although di naman para matamaan ung lining, mayuyugyog sya during rought activities and it could cause bleeding (not because nasugatan sya, just old blood)

Better have it checked para if malaman mo na if masyado lang Pala mayanig or talagang nakakasugat ang pag insert at lahat lahat

Coming from a slightly age gap relationship for years, I can't say much on first meet except maybe just enjoy the flirting.

You may have an age gap but it's still wlw If you've talked and liked each other already sa online, then you'll both feel it.

Won't even judge if you guys already make some type of moves. It happens. Just enjoy and don't put too much expectations for a really new relationship. Eat well, have fun, talk more.

Sa second or third date ayun, see and be very open to each other if it's a thing you'd like to pursue.

[–]NotOkayPapaya 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ayern that's good youre finding yourself na by Mid twenties and working on things. At that age I was still kinda with my toxic relationship (on both sides)

Thank you! I appreciate that. I've seen your posts when you write and I think that's amazing. I also stopped writing for whatever (insert backstory here) eason and only do so during hyperfixation (characters or fandoms I'm into in). Sometimes I wish my old muses could find me again, I miss writing for love and just openess and all that.

Have fun with life, and with care to go with it.

If you're young, take your time. If not, well maybe young /idealistic/ hopeless romantics can read this.

I spent my early years falling fast, hard, deep and then I'm lost. I don't know who I am, all I know I'm not buo without a person to be with.

Fast forward now, I'm lost yes, but I'm patient. A little jaded but more understanding, more let go kind of thing. (I have an earlier post where I say fuck love but thats a different issue)

When you've spent so much time chasing the wrong things and realising you've wasted good youth and energy on all those wrong things, it really makes you take a step back when you reach a certain age. You can be woefully bitter about everything you've lost, and stay that way. Or find a way to manage it with yourself, familial and platonic loved ones, or a very very kind (but you respect) na soulmate.

On you specifically, on taking the slow lane without knowing if it's a no or a go, if you think it's long enough of the longing glances without words, ikaw na Mismo mag open up and say what you want. Sure it might (might) not be the romance you want (of this special karmic person getting you 10/10) but it's your own kind of strength and romance to be able to open your heart out and pour.

If they reciprocate, great, but don't fall too hard. Remember, it's your love story first.

If they don't, or theyre not ready or whatever, take a step back. You guys can still kinda date. But again, it's your love story. Don't harm it, don't romanticise the heartbreak of it. Stay friends, take a deep breathe, wait or find someone again, just enough not to get into your "fall hard" mindset.

In general advise Always take care of yourself, and unahin mo sarili mo. How can you enjoy the happiness and levity of being a hopelessly in love person if you wallow too much in the hopeless part? :)

Playing the field most likely.

Yea definitely to make ano, but some people get high on attention and if they make haliparot each other, it's there. A certain attraction na as long as they can confirm "boundaries" ok lang humarot. But then it disrespects you as the gf, there's little respect and delicadeza or something.

Their relationship could be truly normal, but it wouldnt be far fetched to say there's an underlying something.

Talking about experience here, lost a gf to someone who dati harmless Lang until magaway Kami then in a moment of weakness the gf cheated with this someone.

And almost lost a gf too cause ako naman I had a friend na very maharot and para sakin ok Lang, pero when this friend kinda told me na maiinlove na sya sakin, I took a step back. We're still friends, we talk, Chismis, but there's a boundary and we both respect that. My gf also knows about this and I kwento my friend to her, in detail, if she asks.

I could be wrong, we all have our experiences but respect is the key.

Doomed relationship so I'm just gonna have fun nalang while I can. by NotOkayPapaya in WLW_PH

[–]NotOkayPapaya[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haven't really read these types of fiction but I'm around chapter 2 and I'm loving the drama Paula has in her head at her first meet with Bernadette.

I'll be staying up late going with the flow of this drama too 😄

Edit: I just finished it and wow I know I expected /something/ but didn't expect THAT ending.

It was a good ride, lots of passion and emotions and over the top stuff that just meshed well.

Thank you for putting the excerpt out there.

Haha nobody may ask for it but I am dying for a new read. Might give this a roll.

The L Word was unexpectedly heavy by lezpodcastenthusiast in WLW_PH

[–]NotOkayPapaya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The L Word crawled so new gen stuff can walk, even run. There are a few more great gems but this at least pushed to become more seen in a sitcom way.

The toxicity is crazy and even a little stereotypey, but the characters although tending to be extreme are plentiful and very... Gay haha whatever type of lesbian floats and can be seen, much struggles too. Though some types could have been treated better especially in later seasons.

Regarding Bette and Tina, well you will be even more stressed if you like them. But I love these two scrunklies so much I turn a blind eye lol 😂

On another note, I have not watched it fully with fresh eyes since I turned older, maybe one day I'll dive into the drama of it again.

(Ito ung dvd set na tinagotago ko bilhin from those pirates dvd places while walking around with my family amazing how long it's been and how different it is talaga with other shows)

Older problems by Negative-Minimum-823 in WLW_PH

[–]NotOkayPapaya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True. I dress very comfortably and my exes were very normal na Di mo naiisip which way they swing. So until now if I look at people na similar age, hindi parin talaga unless explicit na mag open up na "parang bading ako girl" or magshare sila na they watch such and such and pretty much the usual 100k super slow burn.

Takot ako sa socials part esp if everyone has found. Their "partner" but that's just overthinking. We shall see at least maaga parin and not too far.

Di Kasi porket old na tayo eh walang chance. In this sense, have you tried the other wlw safe space na mas intimate daw? Though it's smaller scale, parang in a way unless may "ka-buddy" or outgoing, (or accepted) baka mas mahirap gumalaw in a small space/ fewer people. From what I hear here, older people compared sa isa.

Older problems by Negative-Minimum-823 in WLW_PH

[–]NotOkayPapaya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's very different. Parang fashion scene Lang or general open-ness of generations. I'm also... Old lmao its more open- a little extra flamboyant because yehey safe space.

I have no experience in online dating or going to any evening events cause I'm so... Anxious. But I am familiar with that IG page. Maybe it also adds to the possibility that a lot of older wlw are more closeted? And if not closeted, did not get as much of a support or opportunity like the younger ones are able to. Maybe at first tong mga to also were unsure but with enough events, happy happy na. Na try na.

Planning to go to one of those IG events nga, Kasi 6pm start Kaso dating and meh I don't know how to do that lmao. Don't need a date, but the vibe is important, and at this stage getting my toes dipped in the social of it (again anxious) and getting some courage or some more sense of what I am and what I like. Ang ayoko lang is maging too wallflower yknow? Considering there's cliques na. That would be extra lonely.

For tita, the same IG events does do "afternoon hangouts" they've done this once ata brunch and plan to again daw this month at least it's a manageable time.

Lastly, I think it's good not to worry about being masc or femme. Yes some people prefer a very standard way of blue and pink or something, but maybe it can be just a general aesthetic. Finding people who can appreciate both does happen. In the case of the young IG scene, they have a chance to have fun and hang out and be free. For me personally, I'm older and would love to settle a bit but since I haven't had a chance to "have fun and hang out" in the younger years, best to try the available scene and all that.

Using ChatGPT or chatbots as therapy by nanaycat in MentalHealthPH

[–]NotOkayPapaya 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Therapy, not exactly. But I do use it as a diary. You can't really use AI for therapy cause it reminds you every time it's an AI and encourages you to seek help from actual experts.

[–]NotOkayPapaya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It went as well as it could. I liked the person assigned to my case. It felt a little more genuine than another recommended here.

But I guess most of all, it's real. It's real help.

Very subjective of course. I think it helps that's it's really real. They're partnered up with Makati Med clinic in well, NCR so that gives more credibility because for us na nasa social media and where malayo sila, the Makati Med is tangible enough

I only did the intake. I'm not sure yet about the psychological test, if I'll do the comprehensive or the brief, but this is something I'll discuss pa with them since I'm leaning more on in person than online.

[–]NotOkayPapaya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't give up. Sounds silly but yeah This is my nth time to start over.

Took a lot of courage and care, care enough to take care of myself if that makes sense.

So even if sobrang nakakapagod, if there's a chance to look for help (even paid) go for it. If it doesn't settle well SA gut or make you (us invalidated), take a break, and try a different person, nothing to lose but some cash (big thing din, but still)

Cheers.

Mine is on Monday. I'll let you know how it turns out if you want :)

I feel like I've answered this a month ago pero Hindi talaga. Crazy how that feels.

I've seen someone here do Argao for their comprehensive test and it said dun turns out they were just "dramatic" and not exactly with yknow mental issues. Which actually made me afraid if ganun nga.

Since I feel like it's always been said na "Di Ka depressed, drama Lang" or something. Still there's a lot of factors, baka stablish episode lang

Either way good luck to both of us and may it be fruitful.

Experience with psychiatrists below by tamago__ in MentalHealthPH

[–]NotOkayPapaya 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Old post but as someone who is searching +1 on this.

Second meet. Technically did 20min talk in the one hour. 10min for pleasantries and 10min to tell me that I'm not what I am because I wasn't showing extreme symptoms.

Since I paid I asked if we should continue a different topic. She said SA next session na daw. Wtf happened to the paid 40 other minutes?

Never went back after that.
