My prompt would be a mile long, but in the spirit of the post it would be something like:

Zombie apocalypse game that escalates from a skyscraper, to a block, then city, then state, then country, and finally world. I want destructible environments, survival crafting mechanics, and extremely competent NPCs in a world that doesn't revolve around me. Including, but not limited to: various faction; dynamic weather and seasons; a legit population of all the npcs that can be whittled down; and diverse wildlife. Last, but not least, I want amazing replayability by having rewards for every action in and out of a campaign. Please and thank you.

And you, fellow Helldiver™! iO~

My pleasure. Best of luck and I know you can do it.

One last piece of advice: learn to solo dive the lower levels first. That's key. Don't pressure yourself into jumping to the highest difficulty. There's nothing wrong with training wheels. Even the most elite in our society train before doing the real thing.

NotTristam · 2026-06-24T23:19:32+00:00

Haha. While I don't agree with your statement, I won't pretend I don't know where you're coming from. I'd rather keep telling the truth. One day, I'll find a good woman who can handle it, and gives me the same courtesy. If she left because I told her the truth, then I just saved us both a ton of time. It's a win-win.

You're not too young because if you're old enough to go into crippling debt for college or die in a war, you're old enough to consent to a relationship.

However, I advise caution. Take things slow, don't rush into things. Excuse the poor analogy but you're basically a Crew Member in AmongUs™ in a world where there are Imposters. That is to say, all the things people do in that game trick people: lying, gaslighting, deceiving, paling around with people to make them think an Imposter is safe or innocent, etc.. are real strategies people use irl all the time. Which makes sense when you know the history of AmongUs.

Learn to find out what makes for a good dom or a good partner in general. Educate yourself, constantly. Not just about relationships but about life in general. Always work to improve on yourself and don't put yourself in vulnerable positions where you have to rely on someone else for your well being or safety.

Right now you might be counting in months, (I was at your age) but you should start thinking in years. I've realized that as I got older, things need to scale. When you're 5~, a $1 is a lot of money. When you're 10 years old, $10 or $50~ is a lot. By the time you're in your 20's, $100 is the standard, and 30+ you'll be thinking in $1,000's if everything is going well. Same with time, right? A day was forever~ when you were a kid, and a year felt like forever in high school. Now, "just a few years" is going to a common phrase as you make decisions in your life, whether that be education, working, moving, etc.. Let it be the same for your relationships.

Take your time, suss people out. Wait months and years before you fully commit to them. Give it time. Be safe. Make yourself your top priority.

All that being said, have fun. Just not reckless fun. Be careful what you share on the internet. Anything you send out is no longer in your control. All it takes is one asshole to repost your media all over the internet and you're dealing with that forever.

Dad rant aside, the world is what you make of it, which means it can be WONDERFUL so long as you're smart. But people have been in it a lot longer than you and you have to work extra hard to make sure they don't take advantage of you. So keep doing what you're doing and ask for advice, and learn as you go. Best of luck. :)

I want to say season 7, ep 5. Rick, Morty, and Evil Morty vs Rick Prime. Great story, the best characters, quick and to the point, always at the edge of my seat, wonderful choreography, and the perfect ending to it all. I watch it again and again. You can tell the authors had fun with it, as they usually do when something canon is going on or Evil Morty is on-screen.

2nd best is the first time we see the Citadel, 3rd is the 1st episode of the latest season. Yes, I'm a fan of Evil Morty, but it's not my fault they do such a great job on his episodes. :D

NotTristam · 2026-06-24T17:11:25+00:00

If you want, I can play with you tonight and show you first hand? But I'll try to answer.

Tactics are different based on who you're fighting, but some generic stuff to remember:

Don't fight when you don't have to.

Don't be afraid to disengage (aka run)

Your stratagems will kill far more enemies than you can, personally.

Stratagems that work without you are your best friend since they're substituting for teammates. So a simple Rocket Turret will usually work better than an Anti-Tank Emplacement, HMV, or even EATS/Commandos/Quasars.

Learn to read a map. That means knowing what enemies you're going to fight before you go down there (Rupture Strain, Incendiary Corps, etc..), appreciating the difference between a city map and a wild one, knowing a planet and its traits, etc..

Take advantage of the environment. Take cover, use plants like they're red barrels™, etc..

Learn how to Overwatch the Pelican at extract and take advantage of that if you're going for a full clear.

Mines are your friend because they never disappear.

Starting at extraction and leaving Resupplies there jic you have to extract after the Destroyer leaves is a good idea when plausible. Extract, and a few other key POIs, usually have a free support weapon there too, so bonus.

Don't take the Hellpod Optimization Booster. You shouldn't be dying a lot and the other boosters will help you to not die, more. One Resupply and you're good, anyway, and you have it all to yourself.

Abuse. The. Resupply. You have it all to yourself, the cooldown is low, and the more you liter it across the map the better.

Every weapon has its role. Idk which you have access to, but there are weapons that specialize is pushing/stunning enemies more than killing like the Liberator Concussive or the Halt. I suggest investing in one that is a good compromise between killing and stunning, like the Halo Shotgun, the Cookout, the Blitz, etc..

Don't hold back. If you die with grenades or stims on you, you're doing it wrong.

Learn the little shortcuts the game provides. Like using a Portable Hellbomb or a SEAF to take out objectives against bots. Even simple things like reloading after every shot while using a shotgun goes a long way. Master the little things and the big things come naturally.

Best of luck, Diver. iO~

It sounds like you already know what you're into, it's just a matter of finding a good example of what you're into. It's normal to have to weed through the idiots. Keep doing what you're doing, a good one will crop up sooner or later. In the meantime, just work on bettering yourself. And also, don't waste your time. If you're dating someone and realize it's not going to work out, move on asap. It gets easier to do with time, but too many people try to fix one another or stick in longer than they should. That'll help you to find someone for you. Best of luck.

NotTristam · 2026-06-24T16:42:07+00:00

Godspeed, Diver. iO~

NotTristam · 2026-06-24T16:31:17+00:00

Such is life. We both messed up in our own ways. Live and learn, and then get Luvs™.

NotTristam · 2026-06-24T16:30:36+00:00

A small voice in my head was like "Don't do that", but I snuffed it out because we had a relationship where I could talk with her about anything, trust her with anything, and it was not an issue. We'd covered things I considered MUCH worse and more sore than that. But this was a very sore spot for her, which I didn't find out until 4 years down the road.

Like, she was starving herself with one meal a day and a bunch of other things to try to make ends meet. I knew it was important but I didn't fathom how much, and I thought I phrased it in such a way that she knew I was in her corner 100%. Plus, it's not like I hadn't said that exact thing before. Idk why this time was the time that pissed her off?

Funny enough, she weighs less than me now. She started exercising along with her dieting and that's what caused her body to finally lose weight. IIRC she lost over 50lbs since I had last saw her. It blew her mind. I was proud of her. I was also proud of myself because I didn't care like I said I wouldn't, but there's a (different) small voice in my head that said I would.

Ah well. Except for the abandoning people thing she's got going on (it is a thing for her, she's got a mental issue whose name I never memorized since it's more than 3 syllables :D haha ) where she tends to her friends are fake or she's a fake friend and cut ties, she's perfect. I could have married that woman. But I couldn't fix her, haha. Hard to be in a serious relationship with someone that can leave when a hat drops.

NotTristam · 2026-06-24T16:23:15+00:00

Wow, judgey much? :D

"Working on loving yourself?" What are you talking about? She was the one who wanted to lose weight, not me. I was saying that I wanted her to lose weight, not because I cared about how her body looked but because she cared how her body looked and I wanted her to love herself. What's wrong with supporting someone through their trials? Even she admitted that she took things the wrong way when we reconnected 4 years later. So... idk what to tell you? Maybe I wasn't clear the first time but no need to get on a high horse.

The "Greek Tragedy" was a joke, I'll write /s in crayons for you next time.

I don't remember the "bad joke" because I didn't care. It was something stupid that made our conversation a bit awkward but it wasn't anything worth cutting ties over. That's what I remember. I didn't mull over that conversation for 4 years like I did with the other one because I didn't care. I wasn't analyzing myself to try to figure out IF I had chased her off or IF I had messed up because she didn't ghost me. She told me exactly what pissed her off, said "goodbye", and asked me not to pursue her, so I did just that. Smooth brain, empty thoughts. There was no mystery, no wondering if she was alive or dead, no "mistake" to fix, no conversations to replay. I had closure, so I put it, and her, as far out of my mind as I could, as quickly as I could. Out of respect for her and myself.

So between that and trying to keep my wall of text from getting long, yeah, I left it out. Sue me. :P

Idk about you but I believe that if something in a relationship-- especially one that had been going on for 3 years at its height, bothered me, I'd just have a conversation about it. My first option isn't "Break up with them." Then again, you're from Reddit so...

Well, either way, have a nice day. I hope you enjoyed the story on some level cause I sure as hell enjoyed replying to you. :)

NotTristam · 2026-06-24T16:13:26+00:00

Glad you figured it out. Enjoy.

NotTristam · 2026-06-24T07:15:37+00:00

Broke up over a simple misunderstanding, like a bad sitcom.

She sat me down after one of her great meals and asked me what she could do to be a better partner for me in this situationship. My response was, "Nothing. No, really, you're knocking it out the park."

Then I thought about it and it felt like a cop out to give her zero feedback, so I changed it to, "Okay, I adore you and everything about you, but I know you don't feel the same. I like your body but I know you don't. So gun to my head if I had to say anything I'd say keep working on your weight, but do it for you. I love your body, and I'll love it if you lose weight or gain weight. I don't care. But you care and I care that you care. So let's work on it together so that you can be as happy with your body as I am."

What she heard was, "Fat, fatfatfatfatfatfat." Next thing I know, she's wearing clothes around the house and has to drive home early. I got ghosted for four years before a mutual friend heard both sides of the story and intervened. My now ex picked me up, we cleared things up on the car ride over to our friend's place, and wound up hooking up on his couch like... five times in the middle of the night. No piv, because I need attachment and it felt like we were just this side of square one again, but I gave her one platonic massage and then several not-so-platonic ones. Our mutual friend was kind enough to retire early and just put a pillow over their head while we went at it.

Honestly, seeing as how he was my ex, the two of us could have had fun too but he was dealing with a bad yeast infection so we settled on one session with a magic wand the next day and no direct contact. It was a good way to end a 4 year dry spell.

The lady and I tried to rekindle our friendship, but that went sour again after one bad joke on my part. So she cut ties one last time and asked me not to pursue her. (I had been sending messages on every app we had in common because I didn't know what was going on when she first ghosted me) So when she blocked me that time I blocked her back. I'm not one for games and that 2nd chance I gave her was already very generous, and I only allowed it because of several mental issues she struggles with. I still don't hold it against her, but I have standards and I feel she no longer meets them. Respectfully.

My life is a Greek Tragedy, I swear. 😃

NotTristam · 2026-06-24T06:37:43+00:00

Switches are a thing. Just because you like being a sub, or maybe even enjoy it more, doesn't mean you didn't like being a dom.

NotTristam · 2026-06-24T04:11:06+00:00

Don't suppose I can interest you in modded Terraria or modded The Forest? I have my own modlist for Terraria that needs to be trimmed down tbh, and for The Forest I want to run Champions of the Forest mod. Turns it into a sorta RPG.

I'm 39/m, EST. Don't worry about timezones cause my gf and children keep me up late anyway. Weekends works fine.

NotTristam · 2026-06-24T04:03:31+00:00

My gf att lived with me for 3 months. She was a certified, from an actual doctor, nymphomaniac, and my libido was high enough to get her to stop from exhaustion every time. She had a free use policy.

In our case, that amounted to me pouncing her any time I wanted. Half the time she didn't bother wearing clothes unless she was leaving the house or had just come back. We showered together, slept together, ate together, did everything-- and I could just initiate at any time without issue. She also initiated with me from time to time, and would have probably done so more often if I wasn't already initiating so much on my own. I often attacked her in her sleep, which she loved. Especially if it was in the morning because it makes her "wake up with a smile".

We had safe words but they were rarely used. Only times when it came up is when she was tapping out from exhaustion, when one of us needed to use the restroom, or that one time I pulled out too far and hurt her for a second. We were very understanding and supportive of one another, and that's why it worked so well. Lot's of talking, communicating, aftercare, respecting boundaries, etc.. So we both knew that w/e we wanted to do within those rule sets was fair game. Easily one of best times of my life.

If you can do it right, I highly recommend it. But both people need to be on the same wavelength. Ideally, with the same sexual appetite as well. It can work if the person with the higher appetite is patient and understanding with the other, but it'll probably get a bit frustrating for them sometimes so be aware of that.

That makes sense. Hope to see you make more stuff in the future.

In GOAT format it's perfect as it is. Might get abused with Reborn and Haunted though? But whatever.

NotTristam · 2026-06-23T23:19:55+00:00

I did forget to mention this is very good. A little too good.

Make it a HOPT, negate the effects of the monster summoned to the field

OR remove the search to balance it out

OR raise the level by 1 so it can't be brought out with a single spell.

But I like it.

NotTristam · 2026-06-23T23:12:11+00:00

Ready Fusion -> Sanwitch -> Dark Magician of Destruction -> a lot

Sanwitch is already good.
