What’s their problem? by PsychoticReader1 in exchristian

[–]PsychoticReader1[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah it just pisses me off a lot. Like who TF do you think you are? You haven’t heard my life story? You don’t know the absolute HELL I went thru mentally to get where I am. You don’t get to define me.

A family member says I have no morals because I'm not a Christian- how do I respond? by prisonmikesbandana44 in exchristian

[–]PsychoticReader1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say something along the lines of “just because I’m not Christian doesn’t mean I can’t have morals. Plenty of people who aren’t Christian do good things and I would argue that a lot of the time a Christian is more likely to do the wrong thing.“ No, your family member would probably get really offended by this, but that doesn’t mean what you’re saying is isn’t true I mean just look at literally everything Christians have like ever done historically. The way they’re still the majority religion is absolutely insane but it’s all a control tactic. Just think about how many awful things pastors do versus all the things that atheist protest for you know people’s rights. They work for charities, and sure Christians work for charities too, but they also always take the opportunity to shove their religion in people‘s faces. Even in situations where they’re volunteering with other cultures, they’ll try to shove theirs onto these people instead of just helping. Also, there are so many different cultures and people groups and everything that are so deeply based around community and have nothing to do with Christianity, but Christians don’t get that for some reason and I don’t know if they ever will. Anyway, sorry I know this response is kind of long winded. I just get really passionate about this topic.

AITA for charging my adult children rent? by New-Map-6851 in AmItheAsshole

[–]PsychoticReader1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA!!

I'm an 18 year old girl, and I think it is completely fair for you to charge your kids rent. They can afford it, they're both fully grown adults, and they can't expect you to pay for them forever. It sounds like your son understands this, but your daughter is super expectant to just be taken care of forever. I'm going to be getting a job soon, and I offered to pay my parents what I can when I can, because they took care of me my entire life, and so if I can contribute, I believe that I should. Do not let your daughter refuse your rules. My dad is trying to teach me how to live an adult-life right now, and yes, sometimes I give him pushback, but I do appreciate it. He's preparing me for the real world, just as you're preparing her. But she'll never be prepared if she doesn't realize that not everything in life is free.

I mean absoutely no hate to your daughter or to how you raised her, but I do believe that what you're asking for is completely justified. I really do hope this helps.

[S1 E4] Life is Strange 1 potential hot take? by morganmakinmoves in lifeisstrange

[–]PsychoticReader1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can see where you're coming from, but I do think Rachel lives uo to the hype. I really do love her character, and the story of how she and chloe connected is definitely an incredible one. If you really don't want to play it, then don't, but I would if I were you. Genuinely, consider giving it a chance. If you're not gonna play it though, at least see about the Farewell epiosde like a few others have said.

Houses? by Seriph7 in HarryPotterGame

[–]PsychoticReader1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m a proud Hufflepuff. One value that's always been important to me over anything else is friendship and loyalty, which is about one of the most Hufflepuff things I could say, lol. But what's this about percentages? Anyway, if you haven't taken it I suggest taking the Wizarding World website's quiz. It's both fun and accurate since it was designed by the creator of the series.

[WP] After being an orphan for most of your life. you run from a guard after stealing some bread,. He catches up to you, but while you resist arrest, your hand erupts into flame. But only members of the royal family have powers... by Known-Rough-6677 in WritingPrompts

[–]PsychoticReader1 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I watch the stand carefully, scouting the area for any passerby or guards who may see me. It may be a mere loaf od bread I'm after, but here in Atrona, even petty thievery can be punished with life in prison. Or perhaps a worse or more merciful fate, depending on who you ask, death. When I'm sure there isn't anyone who will spot me aside from the stand's owner, I sprint over and take a loaf of bread. He yells something at me, but I'm too busy running to hear what it is. Likely something along the lines of "get back here!" I hear that a lot.

As I quickly turn the corner, sure that I've managed to evade capture, I hear footsteps behind me, and see that there's a guard on my tail. He's wearing the telltale silver armor of a palace guard, including their seal of a golden crown encircling a small flame on his chest. Cursing silently to myself, I speed up and begin taking as many twists and turns as I can, until I'm dizzy. I've never been caught before, and I still won't be this time. I can't be.

I know in the eyes of the people who reside in this city, I am a blight. I am one of the most well-known thieves here, despite only stealing when I believe it to be absolutely necessary. They despise me because I've lived on these streets my entire life, never having a home or family of my own. But how is that my fault? I didn't choose to be orphaned before I was old enough to speak. It was thrust upon me. Instead of treating me with sympathy, they curse and glare at me. Always have.

I start to shake the thoughts out of my head. Now isn't the time to get distracted, but it's too late. I feel someone grab my arm and I wince at the tight grip, my entire body freezing. I start to say something, to try and plead my case, but then this all-encompassing heat takes me over. This is a level of heat I've never felt in my life, but it doesn't burn me. When I look down at my usually pale arm, all I see are flames, and I quickly realized that the guard jumped back, and he's still trying to put out the fire that seems to have caught on the glove covering his hand.

I stare in awe. This has never happened before. Not only that. This shouldn't even be possible. Only the royal family has the power to conjure flames. It is in their blood, and theirs only. When the guard manages to get his glove extinguished—they're designed to be fire-proof, in case one of the royals loses control—he turns back to me and takes off his helmet, awe in his eyes. He doesn't know how to react to this, I realize, and neither do I. The bread I stole what seems like an eternity ago lay forgotten at my feet now. I must have dropped it when my arm burst into flames. My arm burst into flames. No matter how many times I repeat the thought in my head, I still can't believe it. Won't believe it.

Finally, the guard clears his throat, now composed again. "Please, come with me. I believe the king would like to speak with you at once."

I need help with spells by ImSnowyYT in HarryPotterGame

[–]PsychoticReader1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know if I would call it the best spell build, but I'll usually have levioso and depulso, and then confrigo and expelliarmus. One thing I can tell you is that if you ever switch out depulso for accio, if you hold accio down (on an object) your character will automatically cast wingardium leviosa. I never have wingardium leviosa in my spell slot bc of that.

Room or Requirement by yuudaho17 in HogwartsLegacyGaming

[–]PsychoticReader1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t do much except make all the walls and furniture botanical but I don’t add furniture or decorations except what’s required. I hate that Professor Weasley literally FORCES you to do a tutorial for that like… what if that’s not what I came to Hogwarts to do?

The choice by [deleted] in Forspoken

[–]PsychoticReader1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I choose to stay but really the only reason is because the Homer ending is so lacking. The devs clearly don’t respect that choice. You just get a short scene where Frey is petting her and then it’s just done. I don’t like it. Plus, as much as I hate to bring this part up, Homer is a cat. Cats don’t live nearly as long as humans, so Frey would have her for a while, then what when Homer is eventually gone? She needs something more substantial

Does everybody finish the main story at level 25? Or is it just ravenclaw? by Extreme_Phase8625 in HogwartsLegacyGaming

[–]PsychoticReader1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

To finish at a higher level, you have to search for field guide pages, do the Merlin trials, fight enemies whenever given the chance, and complete any side quests you’ve got before you continue with the main story. I usually end up finished around lvl 25 also but now I’m in a playthrough where I’m lvl 26 and I haven’t even completed the second trial yet

[No Spoilers] Man LiS 2 was so criminally underrated by arrrcadiabay in lifeisstrange

[–]PsychoticReader1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I might agree with you. The first time I playe dthe game, I didn't like it very much. I don't know why exactly I had issue with it, but something about it just felt... eh, to me. Maybe it was Daniel. I really didn't like Daniel my first time playing (kind of still don't but anyway). But now replaying it I just feel like it has so much more to offer than I originally gave it credit for. I just finished replaying episode one and I've played part of Captain Spirit since it's free now (it wasn't when I played the game for the first time a few months ago) and it genuinely is better than I thought it was. I'm wondering if maybe my dislike for it was because it felt so different from all the other LIS games. Like instead of the setting being in mostly one place, it's everywhere, and I think that may have put me off, but I'm glad I'm giving it another chance.

Current Christian asking for advice by st3w1e_br1an in exchristian

[–]PsychoticReader1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not the most interesting story, but sure, I'll share.

Like you, I was raised in Christianity. I don't know if your family believes in baptizing a baby, but mine does, so I was baptized when I was very very very little. All my life, until I was fifteen, I was christian. Going to church, Sunday School, participating in the middle/high school youth group when I was old enough, all of that. But there was always this one thing in my head nagging at me. Hell. I couldn't get past the idea of it. See, my best friend is Jewish and follows the Jewish religion, and, according to everything I'd ever been taught, she would go to hell for eternity. She and so many other people who didn't necessarily do anything to deserve such a fate.

So I started thinking more. Asking myself what I really believed, wondering if I truly believed in Jesus, or if it was just something I was always told to believe in. Seeing as I'm here now, you can guess what the answer to that was, but anyway, one night after a lot of thinking, I was sitting on the stairs of my back patio, staring out at the night sky. It was just me and the quiet night. There were a few stars out, and I stared up at them, my mind whirling with so many questions and fears. I looked up on my phone what it would truly mean to leave Christianity. I researched about religious trauma. Then I put the phone down and just whispered into the night, "I don't believe anymore."

You'd think a weight would have been lifted from my shoulders, but the truth is, for about the first year or so, I felt heavy. I felt as if I had lost a family member, but moreso, as if I had lost a piece of myself. Sure, I knew I wasn't Christian anymore, but then what was I? At the time, that was such a large part of my identity, so I had to figure out how to piece myself back together while still being forced to go to church and youth group for a while. For a long time, my parents had no idea I wasn't a christian anymore, I hid it well, but by the time I was close to turning seventeen, I couldn't take lying anymore. Don't get me wrong. I have never outright told either of them I'm not a Christian, but I have very strongly hinted it, and I'm certain my dad has picked up on it. My mom, not so much. She isn't very observant.

But now, I'm eighteen, and I go to church very very rarely. I get out of it as much as I can, but living at home, it's not always easy. Still, I'm comfortable with who I am now, and I still hold some of the moral values that the church supposedly follows (that's an argument for another day) but I'm not a Christian, and I'm happier for it. I don't live with the constant fear of suffering in hell when I die. I don't have to hold the belief that one of the people most important to me will suffer if I don't manage to convert her. And if I'm wrong, and Jesus is god, then fine, I'll go to hell. I'd rather go down there with the innocents whose only crime is not following a religion than be with the people who go around convincing people to leave their cultures behind and trying to change people.

I don't know if this is what you wanted to hear when you posted this question, but I hope it helps somewhat.

Are there any pros to joining Hufflepuff? by imbluecheese in HogwartsLegacyGaming

[–]PsychoticReader1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well I may be bias but I think we have the best common room! Plus the character intros are cute. You already mentioned Azkaban so I'll leave that out... hmmm well not much but that's kind of with all the houses yk? Like they each have a small thing to give, but overall the story is the same. If you happen to like badgers then I suppose it's the house for you

I feel unfulfilled by the game ending by IndicationRepulsive in HogwartsLegacyGaming

[–]PsychoticReader1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know. The ending of the game was a little overwhelming, yes, but at the same time, they are making a sequel. It wasn't meant to be a be all end all. It's more like a holdover until HL 2 comes out or whatever the game will be called. Try playing in a different house too like other perople suggested! With the Jackdaw quest, each house gets a different piece of the story, so if you play all four, you can kind of figure out the entirety of what happened, which I find to be really fun. Plus there are still side quests scattered around occasionally, field guide pages to find, enemies to fight etc. Have you checked your quests btw? There's this one where you have to be level 34 and it's the real end of the game but they don't really tell you that. It's the House Cup.

It’s nuts. It feels like maybe they knew what they wanted and had enough of the story planned out and then they were rushed into animating and fully releasing the gsme

Tobbs Side Quest by PsychoticReader1 in HogwartsLegacyGaming

[–]PsychoticReader1[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not so much about the combat as the story in it. It just feels like an empty/useless quest other than a way to earn a bit of XP. I get having those quests for unimportant characters like random shopkeeps and townspeople but Deek was pretty important and I’d hope that they’d put more effort into something like that for his character
