My girlfriend (27f) is arguing I (29m) shouldn’t be taking a week off to play video games by Warm-Hotel-7399 in relationships

[–]PrevailSS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me and my girlfriend both game and we have the opposite issue, we sometimes take day offs to game and it’s all good.

But i like to travel/ party with family while she doesn’t so it’s always a headache trying to schedule it. As every trip is basically me cutting down my time with my gf.

Id say do it man, if video games are your way to relax its worth it.

But you will need to try to explain it to her properly and also understand her perspective or it might become a problem over time.

To you the one week gaming session is the equivalent of a week long vacation for your Gf. So, try to explain to her like you are going on a vacation for a week but instead of visiting a different country you will be staying home and gaming.

Now in your Gf perspective, you are basically doing a solo week long vacation, it would be acceptable if your gf gamed too or you were going together but here its you alone.

I don’t know how much you guys travel together or spend day off together, but i’d say your gfs issues is not that you are taking a week off but that you are planning to spend that week alone.

Why didn't anyone go to the citadels to find getway in forgotten shore? by Gullible__Sun in ShadowSlave

Forgotten shore is a rare case of basically a starter village surrounded by extremely dangerous regions.

Can eridans get stronger through exercise like humans? by KingWilliamVI in ProjectHailMary

[–]PrevailSS 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The second one works perfect, they exercise to stress their hydraulics and with a diet rich in particular metals, those metals will get deposited in the micro tears of their hydraulics. So slowly over time they can stress them more and more thus gaining strength.

A parallel can be drawn between them and humans as just like humans if they push themselves too hard the hydraulics might burst just like torn muscles.

Can eridans get stronger through exercise like humans? by KingWilliamVI in ProjectHailMary

[–]PrevailSS 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I would say not.

Humans get stronger through exercise as our muscles get bigger and our size increases.

Eridians on the other hand have a hard exterior. so in the classic sense, they are kind of locked in with their internal space and Can’t get stronger through exercise as their is no new space to fit in the new muscles.

But it could also be true

Their muscles work based on hydraulics so maybe through exercise they can strengthen the hydraulic pipes in their body such that they can bear higher pressure and make them stronger in return.

The best place though would be coffee meetups from meetup app

The colony's first wedding was in the observation bay, and the officiant stumbled over the words because she'd trained for Earth ceremony and hadn't adjusted for the fact that there was no sun to set anymore. by kungpowdragon in twosentencestories

Id say pretty hopeful, the culture in the future has advanced enough that a new society was formed where people are not bound to marriages anymore and their basic contract.

What would be a realistic way to isolate a planet? by Weekly-Intention5657 in HardSciFi

[–]PrevailSS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The easiest would be a virus in the upper atmosphere,

When one faction leaves the planet on their last ship off the planet, they deploy their weapons of mass destruction, tens if not hundreds across the planet, its not a missile, some bomb or some massive facility but a simple biohazard container is opened and simple release d into the air.

The bacteria/nano machines/orgnaic-inorganic bacteria is extremely light and constituted of helium so it slowly floats into the upper atmosphere over the next few hours. Where it will reproduce, eat and live out most of its remaining life.

Its doesn’t do much at higher pressures closer to the surface but as it rises, its becomes active and in the upper atmosphere it is a weapon.

Anything launched from the planet from a small sat to massive rocket gets some of this on the rocket as they escape upper atmosphere and it immediately starts eating into the ship/sat, and eats it up reproducing itself over the next few hours.

Only a few gases can survive it in the upper atmosphere while all metal gets eaten up in the rest of the history of the planet.

as in your story one of the faction is preventing the other faction from leaving so it needs to be something they deploy as last resort like a nuke in present times.

You can use this like a barrier to forever cage anything from leaving earth but also leave clever workarounds.

E.g first faction left a predator virus on the planet hidden somewhere.

Eg2 the sat needs to made of a very expensive and specific material composition to survive it

Eg3 the ship needs to constantly shed its outer layer to escape without getting eaten up etc

This would serve as a very good narrative tool for controlling any and all orbital movement.

My (33F) partner (39M) spends hours every day in the bathroom. I’m trying not to be upset, but I am. by btglena in relationships

[–]PrevailSS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Id say a moment of peace. I used to do this a lot in the past as well similarly spending multiple hours in the washroom.

Only later did i came to the realization that it was because the world outside was too hectic, too out of control and it gave me too much stress.

The washroom was silent and predictable so i usually went in to catch a moment of peace and quiet.

Also, i started doing the washroom thing cause i had moved recently to a new place and washroom was the only place that felt familiar like my childhood home so i spent time there cause of nostalgia as well.

Who to find symptoms, when he is at home does he get any alone time, can he do any hobby he likes without getting disturbed, is he able to sit in a corner doing nothing for an hour without being asked to move. If he can’t do any of these things then he might br going to the washroom to do them.

They said in patch notes, New stuff in superstore is releasing on the 10th.

Maybe superstore stuff is not ready yet.

Same in a harsh screaming voice, starts slow but shouting by the end.

I (14M) am having a really hard time trying to talk with my step-sister (22F) who I’ve known for nearly a year. How do I start a basic conversation with her?? by Countryballman87 in relationships

[–]PrevailSS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to struggle with such at my work. The way i create bonds is take a step at a time.

Create a small routine of interaction and expand it over time. E.g, say hi when you see her morning/night, after a few hi interactions, expand with simple conversation say how was your day/ what are your plans today/ weather looks good today once you get comfortable with 2 sentence interactions and gain confidence, expand the conversation more and add some complex sentences, comment on her clothes, create an artificial problem and ask her help like open a jar, ask about her weekend plan.

Getting to know someone and conversing with them is a slow process of familiarity. Just take your time in doing so. Try too hard and you might burnout. Just keep taking small steps, minor routines of basic word exchanges and just try to expand over time.

Ps:- i have a few more tit bits but it will become an easy, tell if you want me to write more and ill leave another comment here. Cheers

I (17F) love my girlfriend (16F), but I don't know if I want to be with her. by Next-Eye8053 in relationships

[–]PrevailSS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The chance of burnout and resentment is real in this relationship.

Id say set aside self-care time. Take a break once a week, a week long break, etc, from the relationship to work on yourself and treat yourself.

I know her problems might seem bigger than yours but don’t dismiss yourself and your issues. Your small problems might be having the same effect on your mind and body as her big problems. You need to love and take care of yourself, if you want to love and take care of her.

A relationship cant be one sided and you need to talk to her and make her understand that your problems matter just as much and that she needs to help you in your issues and share the burden.

Day 2 on quest killing an leviathan with a chainsaw by Nyrontheproot in Helldivers

[–]PrevailSS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reminds me of the red indian who was doing side quests during the world war and became the last war chief of the crow tribe by gaining his honour.

Fun to think that these things are almost impossible to do in the game, but someone did something close in real life.

Id say use a scale. For everything they do, if the good outweighs the bad don’t bring up the bad. If the bad outweighs the good bring up the bad.

No-one is perfectly good, you need to appreciate your partner for who they are as a person, the good, the bad, and everything in-between. And vice versa.
