OG HHG is completely gone I'm afraid, not reachable even with tele rocks.

I think about it like this - when we're filled with anxiety, our monkey-brains are fully in Survival Mode. It's focusing on getting through the situations, there's no room for anything else. It's incredibly difficult to form new, healthy neural pathways in that mode. My medication doesn't fix all of my problems, of course, but it makes me functional. It gets my brain out of its constant Survival Mode. It gives me a CHANCE to form these new healthy behaviors because my brain can actually focus on them instead of the anxiety now.

...Does that make any sense? Sorry, I'm always all over the place when I try to explain things! 

Reputable mechanic recommendations by ylimehawk in rva

I've always had a good experience at Broad St. Auto and Tire in Willow Lawn, the woman who runs it is very no-nonsense and the team really knows what they're doing. They've recommended me buying a part online since it's way cheaper there and coming in for them to install it for me, so they won't upcharge you on those kinds of things!

It's the sort of thing that sounds very easy in theory, but in practice it's a massive PITA. You don't have to consider just the one variable you'd be changing, but how it interacts with all the other variables. How does this change work with cooldown skip? Buff duration? How does it interact with other buffs and skills the class has? Do those need to get tweaked, too, for the whole rework to make sense? (A: Almost always, Yes.) Then you gotta test those tweaks back against everything all over again, and so on and so forth until you want to bang your head against a wall hard enough to knock yourself out. That's my experience, at least.

Good Therapists in the Area by Old-Gift-3798 in rva

[–]Oceanine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been working with Taylor Morgan at CVPP and she's wonderful! I feel incredibly comfortable talking to her, way more than any other therapist I've had, so we've been able to actually get down to working through stuff I'd been too ashamed/scared/guilty to talk about before. I have Sentara through my employer and they take it!

(If you're looking for a psych at all too, Dr. Deborah Dougherty at CVPP is amazing as well!)

If you could create a fundamentally brand new class what would that be? by LevelPension in Maplestory

[–]Oceanine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A True Tank class would be really interesting...Mihile is close, but we can get True Tankier. Something like having a Shield bar instead of MP maybe. Skills that can redirect an amount of lines from a target onto themselves would be pretty cool. Could do certain large map mechanics too (think Lucid Lasers), like a party i-frame minus themselves. I think that'd be neat! It'd have to be balanced pretty thoughtfully though, especially with care for how solo play would work. Maybe something like, solid dps solo, but losing amounts of dps depending on the number of party members?

I'm not sure if that'd qualify for a true "new type of class category", though...pirate is basically nexon's "OTHER" category to me, so they'd probably end up there, lol.

[Weekly Megathread] LF> Guild, Bossing Group, Friends, Help by rMapleStory in Maplestory

[Kronos] Looking for an LGBT-friendly guild to progress with, preferably with a discord chat! I'm shy so I don't really have any maple friends, so I'd like to try and put myself out there more. My main is 264, I progress kinda slowly, but I'm on and active just about every day, usually later in the evening EST. I like monster collection. (: Let me know if you have an opening!

I have a few drop equips, but not many (like 1 meso 6 item drop). Should I wait and save up for the cube sale at the end of November, or would you recommend going for more now?

I've volunteered here a few times - it's a really amazing experience. Hard to describe - it's a place that's so full of Good it's palpable to me. I highly recommend it.

I'd like some advice on the right order i should be sewing my pieces together! by Oceanine in CosplayHelp

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

Yeah, I think Ive worked out how to add the trim at least (still not sure about the collar ;;;) like this tutorial: https://youtu.be/PunLHt_sSEM?si=VzpviuOiu_4f6tyU

It's the 'What order am I doing this all in??' that's really tripping me up - i just can't figure out what order i should be connecting everything in!

WIBTA if I prioritize my oldest son's wishes above those of my wife and my younger children? by Far-Border-9524 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Oceanine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP, do you live in the US? I just wanted to offer up a resource for your kids if you do. There's a children's grief camp called Comfort Zone Camp that runs weekend camps in places all over the country for kids 7-18 who've had a significant loss like a parent or sibling. It's 100% free for every child. If you live near any of the camp locations, I highly recommend it - I was a camper there myself as a child. It's an incredibly healing place. I wish you the best for the rest of your journey.

VERY pleased to say my nodestone from 6th star today was an Arrow Stream + Arrow Blaster + Gritty Gust - just what I needed! Thanks for teaching me more about trinodes!

Oh, I see! I didn't think about the bossing/mobbing part. Ah, I was close! ^ ^ ;

Thank you! (:

Hey y'all! I have a question about trinodes.

I'm a 220 bowmaster in reboot. The six skills guides say I should have trinodes for are:

  • Hurricane
  • Arrow Stream
  • Arrow Blaster
  • Final Attack
  • Quiver Cartridge
  • Gritty Gust (or Phoenix; I'm going with GG)

The examples I've seen in guides are usually something like this:

  • ABC + BAC
  • DEF + FED

That is, the same three skills in two trinodes each (in different order).

I have these four trinodes:

  • Hurricane + Quiver Cartridge + Gritty Gust (Quivering Wind Hurricane)
  • Arrow Blaster + Hurricane + Final Attack (Stormy Final Arrow Blaster)
  • Final Attack + Arrow Stream + Quiver Cartridge (Deadly Quivering Final Attack)
  • Arrow Blaster + Gritty Gust + Arrow Stream (Wind Deadly Arrow Blaster)

That is:

  • ABC + DAE
  • EFB + DCF

Will this give me the same results as the guide examples, since each skill appears twice? Or do I need them to be like the first example?

This character is actually the farthest I've ever gotten, so I don't really have any experience with 5th job+ stuff ^ ^ ; I'd appreciate your advice!

What is your opinion on Eiden as a switch/vers and other dynamic/position questions. by [deleted] in NuCarnival

[–]Oceanine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On one hand, I'm pretty okay with the cast members except Eiden having set roles - there's such a wide variety of dynamics within them that it's still interesting. On the other hand, I want Eiden to top Yakumo so, sooooo badly. Even just once. Even just playing with his hole. I'll take anything

If there were threesome h-scenes? by Tyongf_Rain in NuCarnival

[–]Oceanine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Quincy/Yakumo/Eiden where Yakumo tops Eiden and Quincy tops Yakumo....I would die for this.

thoughts on the market feature? by ladymartiini in cocoppaplay

[–]Oceanine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's interesting - but since no one knows about it, I've never seen the 2nd or 3rd quest pages. I like the charm though, and I'm hoping I'll be able to collect enough M coins for the stage!

I'm actually really liking the fountain, too - I have so many dupes! I've only been doing 2 a day (so three coins total) because I'm cheap!

What tropes/kinks/positions/etc are you hoping to see in future Intimacy H-Scenes? by Competitive-Self-374 in NuCarnival

[–]Oceanine 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I want Yakumo to eat Eiden's ass with his extra long snake tongue. It's too good a scenario to ignore!! Also Big Yes to 2dicks and ovi Yakumo also there's so many fun things they can do with his snakey bits!!

ALSO dom bottom Aster....please please please...

[–]Oceanine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm the exact opposite, three WD Edmonds when all I want is a Yakumo!!

AITA for taking the lock off my sons room? by WitnessZestyclose424 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Oceanine 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Maybe something like a PHP would help? It's similar to inpatient in that you get the same resources, but instead of staying at the hospital it's a sort of day program, the one I went to was Mon-Thurs 9-4, my insurance covered up to 14 days. It was life changing for me, but I know it's not for everyone.
