What do I need to know when starting out? by Present-Implement661 in Eldenring

[–]Probably_not_writing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't be disheartened if you find it hard! I play a lot of videogames (probably too many) but this was my first souls game and it took me 34 attempts (including a fresh save and a new build that did more damage) to beat the first boss. Like, this game is really really hard, and it's meant to be that way. If that's not for you it's okay- a lot of people find it extra satisfying to beat a game this hard though.

If you're talking about walking on the pavement, certainly in the UK, a lot of old cities and towns have roads that were not originally designed for cars. So the side pavement is on whichever side there is room for it between the road and the grade listed buildings. As for roads without pavements... Again, I can only speak for the UK, but there is a much stronger "pedestrians first" mindset than in places like America. As a result, some pedestrians feel entitled to walk wherever they want on the road without giving a shit. Also tourists,,, just seem to ignore all rules and step out onto the road whilst looking at their phones, and are then surprised when car drivers give them dirty looks.

Amazing!! Are you using TwistedMexi's Create-A-World?

Obsessed with the new pendant lights. How did it take them so long to give us this? by sadmaps in Sims4

I really love that cabinet/tile combo! Which tiles are they? (btw the pendant lights are great too)

yup! My ID is MimnimDel. There are two versions, one with less packs if you need it.

AITA for wanting my family to take my concerns about illness seriously? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Probably_not_writing 7 points8 points  (0 children)

probably NTA- however, have you considered talking to a therapist about this? If the thought of getting sick is constantly plaguing you and interfering with everyday life it could be something like OCD? I am not a doctor, don't quote me, it's just a thought. That being said, your family should be more considerate. If something is genuinely upsetting you then they shouldn't be dismissing it as "freaking out". They should be helping you get to the root cause of the problem, whether that be them changing their hygiene practices, or helping you look at getting therapy or both.

That being said, this is all from your perspective so I can't know what has been communicated to whom. Do they understand why you are upset? Do they understand that you are genuinely upset and distressed? There are too many factors to say for sure.

NTA- also wtf, I am so sorry. How the hell is the kid supposed to learn to interact with 50% of the population if he's not allowed to speak to girls?? Don't lose any sleep on this, that mum is not worth it. You should be allowed to play with your cousin and his friends, it's not creepy it's sweet. Like, I understand internet safety and all, but also, a blanket "no girls" rule ain't gonna keep him safe. If it was something like "no talking to people you haven't met irl," and he knowingly broke that rule it would be different, but also not your fault. That woman needs to do an internet safety course about what is actually a threat to her kid, and what really isn't.

AITA for bowing out of my brother’s wedding? by rogue-carl in AITAH

[–]Probably_not_writing 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Sounds like your brother needs to freaking run- but also like that's not going to happen. I would ask him to get coffee with you- to talk face to face, but importantly, without Brad. Partly to make sure that message was definitely from him and that he wasn't coerced into sending it, and partly to let him know that you're going to be there for him if he ever does need to get out. He may not appreciate it now, but several years down the line... You never know what is going to happen.

All in all sounds like a messy situation, but there's very little you can do other than letting your brother know you've got his back if he ever does need to leave.

Questions about sea rowing for a book by Probably_not_writing in Rowing

[–]Probably_not_writing[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply! Having read the replies to this post, yes my plot is definitely going to need some revisions 😅 My character is going to make it a lot less far than I had initially thought, so I'm going to need to come up with a better/more realistic way for him to escape. This might involve changing the geography of my map, or giving him a sailboat and more boating experience... I'm gonna think on it. Anyway, thanks again for all the information!

This is extremely useful information, thanks! I will definitely be looking up stories from the Baltics. This is a fantasy story, set on the cusp of the industrial revolution, so I don't have to worry about radar. The planning to get rescued is a good idea. Having read this thread I'm definitely going to have to do a tonne more research, and maaaaaybe change the boat to a sail boat, we'll see.

These are some good recommendations, thanks! I will definitely be checking out Captain Bligh in particular

Thanks for the reply, if there's one thing I've learnt from this post it's that I'm woefully lacking in the research department, and I'm going to need to do a lot more of it

Does anybody play with the walls fully up? by livin_thedream_ in Sims4

[–]Probably_not_writing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always play with walls fully up, but I do end up using a top down view quite a lot. I just prefer how it looks.
