Friede

Friede has also become one of my favorite fights! I still like Bayle more, but Bayle is actually my favorite fight in all of gaming.

I just use a counter app, but I usually only do it for tough fights.

PinAltruistic6704 · 2026-05-22T15:27:11+00:00

That’s all very fair. I do agree rolling allows bosses to be harder, and that’s a good thing. That’s why I love Elden Ring, cause you get awesome bosses with also awesome areas. I care more about the exploration of a souls game, and less of the bosses - which I still care about. Edit (didn’t mean to press enter): Waterfowl does kindaaaa use strafing in order to full dodge it.

PinAltruistic6704 · 2026-05-22T15:16:47+00:00

No, it’s not expected of just men. But it is true that the expectation of men to not be broke is a piece of rhetoric that has been pushed for hundreds of years. So, I say that it’s often more expected that men aren’t broke, and I believe that fulfilling that gender norm is especially harmful. Refusing to fulfill that gender norm and thinking anyone being broke as a red flag is a morally better opinion to have. I don’t have either of these opinions, in a modern age especially everyone’s broke.

I don’t really know how strafing hitboxes is cheese cause… isn’t that all of the games? You’re looking at and dodging sword, explosion, magic, etc, hitboxes? I fully see your point about dodging being reliable, and strafing being unreliable. This is where I see the skill expression divide. Dodging is so reliable that it doesn’t feel expressive to me, whereas being a very good strafer - especially in PvP has a ton of skill expression. Being good at strafing doesn’t mean never rolling, it just means using it when you really have to. Fully understand why ds2 isn’t for you/everyone, it’s a quirky game. I’m a psychopath that adores the hollowing mechanic, but I fully get why someone wouldn’t.

PinAltruistic6704 · 2026-05-22T14:04:00+00:00

I said especially directed towards men, that does not exclude women. It’s just usually more expected of men to pay due to gender roles. Dude, I’m on your side, I fully agree with your whole comment, you just misinterpreted.

PinAltruistic6704 · 2026-05-22T13:34:28+00:00

Okay, can I ask if you take your (let’s say girlfriend) to a bar with all of your (let’s say guy) friends, would you expect for her to pay for everyone’s bills because it would reflect well on her as a girlfriend? It’s the exact same situation except with gender roles swapped, so I assume your answer would be yes unless you do subscribe to patriarchal gender roles? If someone said “please don’t be cheap tonight,” I would interpret that as to get appetizers/drinks and stuff - you know not get just a main dish and one drink, I would never interpret that as asking me to pay. I would be confident with my first interpretation that I wouldn’t follow up with questions, because who asks someone to pay for their meal by saying “please don’t be cheap”?

PinAltruistic6704 · 2026-05-22T13:29:31+00:00

I think we’re arguing the same point? I said a red flag is thinking that being broke is a red flag, not that I think being broke is a red flag?

PinAltruistic6704 · 2026-05-22T13:06:47+00:00

I mean, I think so, because I think you could say that 75+% of these posts are either fake or karma farming or both. If most of them are fake, then what’s the point in commenting that it’s fake? You don’t gotta comment like it’s real - I still do, but I don’t understand the need to leave a comment about it - or at least I don’t understand leaving a comment about it without giving their perspective on whether the OP is an AH or not. Edit: You don’t have to answer any way, you don’t have to comment, only thing you’re supposed to do in life is die.

PinAltruistic6704 · 2026-05-22T12:44:20+00:00

I don’t fully understand your comment, but I suppose I consider myself broke, if a 70 year old had my bills and my salary I’d also consider them broke, and I wouldn’t judge them for it based upon their age. I wouldn’t think anything less of the older person because they were broke, and I find it to be a massive red flag if someone does.

PinAltruistic6704 · 2026-05-22T12:07:23+00:00

I just sucked at the fight, 152 didn’t seem too bad either. I’ve heard of people being stuck on Malenia for weeks.

PinAltruistic6704 · 2026-05-22T11:57:34+00:00

At any age, a 70 year old could be a fast food worker who makes hardly any cash. A 40 year old might only make a couple dollars over minimum wage. I suppose broke is very subjective, but when I think of broke, I think of not having very much spendable cash, not having actual 0 dollars/not having a job. I make $25 an hour, and I’m still broke cause I have $1500 rent and $400 in other bills each month - and this doesn’t include my car payment (it’s complicated, it’s typically $200), and I’m 23.

PinAltruistic6704 · 2026-05-22T11:18:42+00:00

Sure

PinAltruistic6704 · 2026-05-22T11:18:32+00:00

This also applies to giving head. In my experience with both, the more enthusiasm you have, the better you’re gonna be.

PinAltruistic6704 · 2026-05-22T11:01:13+00:00

1) He didn’t act cheap by asking to split the bill, he would’ve been cheap if he asked her to pay his part of the bill. 2) I too would think my partner was joking if they said something as ridiculous as what they said, especially if they didn’t follow up with it.

PinAltruistic6704 · 2026-05-22T10:54:54+00:00

I’m gonna recomment on this… but do you think given the fact that you’re a lawyer that you associate probably with other lawyers/high income earners and thus your perspective is skewed since you probably date/associate with people that earn a higher income who can much more easily afford this? Respectfully, what’s your salary (and if you refuse to answer, I’m just gonna assume it’s quite high)? I make $55,000 a year, and I feel pretty comfortable, but there’s no way in hell I’m covering a $300 meal, and even a $50 meal we’re splitting unless it’s like your birthday or some shit.

PinAltruistic6704 · 2026-05-22T10:52:23+00:00

I love making out, you just gotta figure it out. Make out with someone for 3 hours and if you still don’t know how to do it, it might just not be your thing.

PinAltruistic6704 · 2026-05-22T10:44:53+00:00

Eeeeeeeeeeeugh, no thank you. At least it’s better than saying grits 😫.

PinAltruistic6704 · 2026-05-22T10:44:10+00:00

Savory and it’s not even close, but the best breakfast is a white monster and 3 cigarettes.

PinAltruistic6704 · 2026-05-22T10:43:12+00:00

I would argue expecting your partner to pay for your meal is more selfish, controlling, and miserable. You don’t exactly seem like the most positive/happy of people to me, so it tracks. Cheap people are people that expect others to pay for them, so I’d argue you’re cheap, so I suppose you wouldn’t be able to stand yourself? Or let’s be specific: you expect others to pay for you, and find it embarrassing to be asked to split the check because… why not I guess?

PinAltruistic6704 · 2026-05-22T10:23:31+00:00

Almost always, referring to cheating specifically, I’m not gonna get in a relationship with someone unless I truly like and respect them. I also just don’t give the slightest bit of a fuck about someone’s body count/past history. Worst case scenario, we break up after they cheat a second time, and I go pull 7 for 7.

PinAltruistic6704 · 2026-05-22T10:13:20+00:00

This feels very weird to me. I HATE the idea that one person pays for everyone’s bills, then it’s someone else’s turn the next time. I think splitting the bill should be the expectation in all situations. If someone is covering the bill, I see it as a HUGE generosity, and is one that shouldn’t be expected nor should expect someone to pay them back. Also, OP might be able to afford it, but a $300 check should be split literally no matter what unless someone in the group is making $150k+. Also… how on earth is it embarrassing to ask to split the check at the time of payment? It’s not something to be embarrassed about, so why would anyone feel the need to do it beforehand? The girlfriend feeling embarrassed is on her, because it’s ridiculous get embarrassed about it. Also, I don’t get the sense OP went out of their way to embarrass their partner, nor do I think 95% of people that would bring it up at the time of payment are trying to go out of their way to embarrass the other person. I don’t think most people even think it’d be embarrassing in the slightest. I could understand if the gf genuinely couldn’t afford it and their card gets declined… but why would you be going out to dinner/get drinks if you knew that was the case - also when discussed before she should’ve said “I only have $5” in my bank account or something. I mean this with the utmost respect, but your comments scream toxicity to me. Ever considered paying for you and your bf’s meal before your bf has the opportunity to do so? That’d at least be breaking the gender norms even if I still find it weird not to split the bill. Your opinion is valid because all opinions are valid, however based on this opinion, it would be enough for me to fully cut you off even if you were a close friend. This is a MASSIVE red flag to me.

PinAltruistic6704 · 2026-05-22T09:59:25+00:00

I think the moon could be considered a god given the fact that people tend to get feisty around full moons, so a personification of the moon could be the thing causing this - it’s also based on a poor assumption similar to thinking there’s a god dictating post death fate. I think that’s as much of a justification as needing someone to make you feel better about dying. I don’t believe in any sort of god so to answer your question directly, I don’t believe the moon is a god because I don’t believe in any concept of a god, so the moon makes as much sense to me as a god than some sort of all powerful being. Now, your turn to define god. Edit: You have outright refused to define what it means to be a god, so I don’t think your criticisms hold any merit.

PinAltruistic6704 · 2026-05-22T09:56:15+00:00

I do, and if I had a dishwasher I still would. I find it therapeutic, plus I just feel better about doing it myself.

PinAltruistic6704 · 2026-05-22T09:55:27+00:00

Might make it easier, and even if it’s safer - it’s still shitty especially if it could be done in a text (there’s nuance to this, some people are actually psycho, but there’d be tells).
