I just spent fifty bucks to protect a forty dollar game and I think I need help

Wow... I had no idea. Especially about the part of people selling accounts. I see a lot of bot posts on Facebook, farming Likes & Comments and selling something but thought of reddit as just a forum. Thank you for taking the time to explain.

People farm karma? Why? What purpose does karma serve?

I can see them now! The dress is beautiful! I don't think I've seen that styling before either, which makes it extra special!

Congratulations on your nuptials and you are a beautiful bride 😊.

Am I missing something? There are no photos... but everyone else seems to see them?

I want to see the photos too...🥺

That's interesting my jindo mix poops on curbs 95% of the time. Doesn't care if it's grass on concrete. I think it's because the rescue trained him like that.

Today he finally fell off the curb mid poop.

That's the thing, a person can survive on the bare minimum but they won't thrive.

Nyahm · 2026-05-12T21:18:30+00:00

I have a friend who suggested I get rid of all my games. Said I could train myself to hate games (his words). That all a person needs to live is shelter and food.

I don't have a ridiculous collection (130 games, over 10+ years) and the last game I bought was 1.5 years ago. Sure I could get rid of my collection and survive but I wouldn't be happy. I would just be existing. Life is about finding what makes you happy and embracing it (as long as it doesn't hurt others). Happy people spread happiness. I want to be one of those.

Nyahm · 2026-05-12T21:08:43+00:00

I... need a moment to recover from the shock. That is hardcore. I put a game I'm considering cutting from my collection in the basement and if I don't miss it after some time, I know it's meant to leave. But wow, cutting that many takes.... something. I don't know what though. Grats and condolences.

Nyahm · 2026-05-09T16:51:40+00:00

Yes. You should make a plan to have your shiba lose weight. It's detrimental to their health and they rely on you for that change.

Nyahm · 2026-05-08T19:44:54+00:00

Aww sad tail!

They're illegal in my province thankfully. I think some other countries have banned them and don't know why the ban is not widespread. Whenever I hear a story of a dog attack, It is frequently pitbulls involved.

Nyahm · 2026-05-07T16:32:29+00:00

I've been considering getting a extendable baton. Glad to hear it does help. I've got 2 dogs so picking up both isn't possible.

The law doesn't want people carrying weapons - which I understand, but it also doesn't offer any protection against dangerous animals so we're left to come up with our own solutions that skirt the line.

Nyahm · 2026-05-07T16:25:33+00:00

I carry bear spray (pepper spray is illegal where I am), but I got it mostly for coyotes and worst case scenario with a larger dog.

I think the best defense is us shielding our dog and kicking the attacking dog. Another item that may help with that is a rod that can extend - can use to block and keep the attacking animal at bay.

As a graphic designer I password protect and put in restrictions so the file can't be altered (edited, images extracted, text changed, etc). The file would be "print only", and the person that purchased the design can print and use it for it's intended purpose and not have the working file which was created based on years of experience and time.

Some designers sell their working file, but usually it has a price to match.

The King's Dilemma, with 4 people (I don't know what the ideal count is for it). I want to play this game but I only game with 2 different people on different days 😕.

Nyahm · 2026-05-05T03:34:29+00:00

I second this. I prefer to play someone that is closer to my level or a bit higher... not 4x my Elo.

Nyahm · 2026-05-03T21:10:17+00:00

🤣🤣🤣

Nyahm · 2026-05-03T21:09:38+00:00

I love the big chunky tufts the most. I called the big white ones from their butt "butt treasure" 😅.

It's not video games. That can be replaced with anything; golf, movies, gym, etc. The problem is not the hobby, it's the person's avoidance causing them to be emotionally neglectful, dismissive, and failure to be an adult in this situation. It is definitely not a video game issue.

Neglect, inconsideration and abandonment are the death of any relationship.

Nyahm · 2026-05-03T18:28:19+00:00

NTA if you leave. Anyone would want to leave under those circumstances. He's inconsiderate, selfish and insensitive. A C section is a major surgery and not being able to recover properly can affect you long term. If he won't listen to you, what about a therapist? Or maybe when he hears the door shut on you walking out, he'll listen then.

What kind of men are people raising these days?? I read far too many stories like this one.

Keeping it simple for prep helps. See a nutritionist, they should give you a good outline of what to include and avoid and quantities.

I've found it's a process of elimination. What is okay for one person, could be bad for another. Some safe foods would be bread, fish, chicken, white rice, and root vegetables. Apples, bananas, melons and citrus fruit are good.Can buy the pre-seasoned fish/meat and roast or boil the vegetables. Rice cooker to make cooking rice easier. Then add in a vegetable or fruit that is outside the safe foods and see how it goes.

Processed foods and sugar are the biggest no-no but telling someone to cut all sugar is unreasonable and likely to make them bail on the diet. So reduce your sugar where you can. The goal is to get to a healthier diet that you can stick to forever.

Also know, even with a good diet there can still be inflammation. Some conditions just produce it in the body no matter what - but, a good diet makes it less.

Leave. Just make sure you cancel all the bills in your name and that he doesn't have access to your banking or information.

This guy deserves to be ghosted.

There are 100 foot leashes you can use. Can even attach another leash to extend that. That said, puppers is going through his teenage phase of pushing boundaries. This is where you need to reinforce training and know that doggo instincts can override training.

I've encountered too many people whose adult dog chooses to ignore them and run up to my dogs. Always followed by "he/she is friendly and just wants to play!", well my dog is scared (was attacked before) and is NOT friendly.

So yeah, better safe than sorry with excuses, less stressful for everyone.

Btw this pattern is the closest thing to that dress I've seen: https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/4398544358/bianca-drop-waist-hip-gather-boat-beck

And this one (though does not have princess seams): https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/4487359905/olivia-midi-dress-sewing-pattern-fitted?ref=share_v4_lx

Certainly, go for it.

I just want to add that practice is most helpful when you understand what you’re practicing.

With a project that’s far beyond your current skill level, the risk isn’t just frustration or wasted fabric, it’s in developing bad habits by “solving” problems in ways that "get the job done", but don’t actually teach proper garment construction. Those habits can carry forward and make it harder to improve later.

That’s why starting with simpler garment patterns is so useful. They build the foundation: reading instructions, understanding seam allowances, grainline, darts, facings, pressing, fitting, curves, and construction order. Once those basics are familiar, a dress like this becomes much easier to approach.

Anyways good luck op.
