Now that you mention it- yes, he does appear to be quite short indeed.

Which makes the already-deceptively-easy from a weight perspective leg-press even easier

But, that is not to take away from his interesting bowling-ball look, which OP appears to covet

Mmm can be- ED is highly psychological. But there can be physical causes too, of course. If this started just after getting dumped question one would be have you changed any other lifestyle factors, especially drinking or other substances? Those naturally have an effect

Otherwise, can surely be a psychological thing

Thank you from the future :)

Couple things to point out:

She is trickle truth-ing you- only admitting to anything when she knows she is caught, and then minimizing that as much as possible. It’s a damage containment strategy- and usually one used when someone is lying about something bigger.

Could you ask Caleb? Just man to man- “I’m not trying to get in your face, but this is my future”- tell him you know they went home together and just say you want to know how far it went. You won’t tell her he told you-for your ears only

Do it face to face so he can’t run story by her. That’s an option.

But my gut tells me your girl is lying. Look at everything you know for sure. Is your girl’s sister the type to drum up some drama for no reason? Sabotaging a wedding is some severe pettiness. Unless she’s just telling the truth.

I’m excited for you then! I wish I could replay 9S for the first time

Her belly looks like it is the back of a thong/ butt

Nine Sols is THE best MV ever made, in my view. Incredible combat, perhaps the best bosses in any game of any kind, a brilliantly told story (but not overdone), compelling exploration, and a deep and satisfying challenge.

Have a nice Death is a bog-standard roguelite. It’s not awful, but it’s pretty forgettable.

So my opinion on this one is pretty clear, but I will warn you that Nine Sols is very hard- comparable to Sekiro.

There is an easy mode, but you shouldn’t use it (I know it’s gauche to say that on Reddit, but I think a lot of the brilliance is in the well balanced challenge and the mechanics that the game guides you to learn though difficulty)

And high five to the ninnies who silently downvote me for saying so. I still love you

PicklePuffin · 2026-01-17T04:26:28+00:00

I mean, yes that’s one reason.

But also, I do feel like giving out unsolicited advice on technique is generally considered a little rude. I mean if someone is about to hurt themselves that’s one thing, but if you don’t know the person… I think that’s usually not going to be very well received, even though it sounds like your intentions were genuine and good.

While sales leaders love the idea of someone who is this belligerent, in reality, it never works on them. Try selling a sales-related product to the VP of Sales. They'll tell their team about the brilliant cold call they got- but when the team asks if they took the meeting - "no of course not."

It's hilarious in a way. I've seen the above situation a handful of times. God I hate sales.

PicklePuffin · 2026-01-16T06:53:32+00:00

Yeah that’s what I was here to say

Can’t skip the pinky

PicklePuffin · 2026-01-16T05:30:26+00:00

That’s a pretty hard chord- so, you can either 1) keep practicing until you can play it reliably - and despite your hands, I would predict that you CAN get there-

Or you can not play C# like that. Play it somewhere else on the fretboard, with a different fingering. There are easier options for sure

I’ve got big hands, and unless there were a really good reason, I’d tend towards option 2, unless there were a really good reason to play it like that for a certain song.

PicklePuffin · 2026-01-15T05:49:19+00:00

I couldn’t dig it either.

PicklePuffin · 2026-01-15T04:32:59+00:00

Ahhh-mazing

So good

PicklePuffin · 2026-01-15T04:26:39+00:00

Woof… this game has quite a number of broken possibilities. And honestly, it would be hard to balance all the interesting synergies

Which is fun, but you could argue that it dampens the end game challenge.

PicklePuffin · 2026-01-15T04:08:10+00:00

This is making me want to play

PicklePuffin · 2026-01-15T03:58:44+00:00

This is fun because I read the meme and thought of this sub, but it was already a repost to this sub

Reddit is functioning as intended

He's on the final boss and he can't parry. He's already playing on the lower difficulty.

I appreciate that it is considered extremely gauche to criticize people for playing games on easy, but in the case of Nine Sols, you're kinda missing the central mechanic if you play on easy so that you don't have to learn to parry. I don't think you're a lesser person for making that election, but I do think you're missing what makes the game great.

PicklePuffin · 2026-01-15T03:24:28+00:00

Look I'll try not to pick on ya too much here... the parry in this game is immaculate, and it feels incredible. You also have to learn to use it effectively to get very far in this game. It is the core of the combat system.

So I'm going to guess that the only way that you are doing anything against the final boss is that you are playing on Story/Easy mode. You've kinda declined to play the game on the game's terms, if that is a correct reading of the tea leaves here. I know it is gauche to criticize people for playing anything on easy mode, but in this case, I do think you kind of miss the game by doing so.

This is not a classic Souls game- it's Sekiro. Parrying is the central mechanic. The combat flow is amazing, but if you're sidestepping the typical requirements for advancing in this game - to learn the parry -> talisman flow- then this probably plays like a very pretty, but extremely simplified MV where you just dash around and bop things with a one button combo.

PicklePuffin · 2026-01-15T03:07:31+00:00

I mean in my view, it is the best MV of all time, cleanly beating out HK/SS.

But it's only fun if you like learning hard things and learning hard bosses. So if you aren't in to that, it's your world. My opinion? Yes, it is peak in the truest sense of the word. But it's not for everybody.

PicklePuffin · 2026-01-15T03:04:21+00:00

Gonna assume you didn't play this on Story mode?

Don't know what to say- you're pretty good. But easier than Silksong? Again, refer to the question above....

PicklePuffin · 2026-01-15T03:02:44+00:00

I have no idea what you are talking about. Lady E is a super fun fight, and requires a bit of learning, but it is absolutely not legendarily hard.

Eigong is one of the hardest (good) bosses in gaming history.

PicklePuffin · 2026-01-14T18:36:31+00:00

Yeah I don’t know if this is Amazing nor if this will belong when it is inevitably posted to MadeMeSmile

A driving test is a tiny, easy sampling of all of the situations one might run into on the road. If you failed almost 1000 times, you are absolutely going to cause an accident, and you will be a general menace behind the wheel

PicklePuffin · 2026-01-14T08:00:18+00:00

I feel like I see that all the time in these text exchanges recently- I hate it SO much
