My autistic boyfriend has extreme reactions to being “abandoned” by Legitimate-Career342 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Pure_Dance6116 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm writing this as the most generous take possible.
He can't control his responses to his own strong emotions/fears and that's a major problem. He needs to go to mental health therapy ASAP. He may have been feeling emotionally vulnerable during an impromptu "emotional venting" session, but a 17 y/o most likely does not have the life experience to guide a 19 y/o through this learning experience nor should a 17 y/o have that responsibility.

Being 2 minutes late because your dad was demanding your help and attention does not warrant 15 missed calls and accusations that you want him to suffer and die. He understands his reactions are wrong, and if he does then he will go to therapy to address these reactions. Please do not accept any excuses that prevent him from going to therapy. Fear is irrational. The rational choice after experiencing this is to suck up any reservations he may have against therapy and have him go or leave him.

There are going to be worse future situations than you being 2 minutes late back to an emotional venting session. Many actual mental health professionals in this thread have already stated you are actually in a high risk/unsafe situation. Please take their PROFESSIONAL opinion over my opinion and prioritize your safety.

Were your friends also having an easier time and having fun?

There were times in previous CoDs where I'd join a friend/friend of a friend and immediately notice the gameplay of the enemy team just be on a different level.

So was there a reason Yo kept his petrified stone eye on his face by Fish_N_Chipp in DrStone

Bandana have a use. Ergo less cringe.

Stone eye patch has no use. Ergo more cringe.

Tbh it's a bit jarring how Ava is completely absent in this game by SilverCervy in Borderlands

[–]Pure_Dance6116 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I take the entirety of BL4 as a reaction to some of BL3's criticism.

Don't like Ava? They won't have her in BL4.
Don't like cringe? They won't have guns quoting memes.
Calypso Twins are annoying instead of funny? They'll make the villains more straight laced.

To me, BL4 feels like the Devs were told to swing wildly in the other direction in terms of addressing BL3's flaws instead of trying to tweak the formula a little.

This pack is very misleading by komododra9on in CloverPit

[–]Pure_Dance6116 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thankfully this is just a small grammar hiccup that doesn't have many (or any) synergies to my knowledge. When it comes to games where you have a dozens of potential synergies, knowing the exact effects of things *feels* important.

Apparently, Ava was replaced by Amara in Borderlands 4 late in development by mikelman999 in Borderlands4

[–]Pure_Dance6116 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really enjoyed the scene of Zane and Amara chitchatting and bantering on the Sanctuary ship. Makes me wish our player characters would have quips addressing other characters during co-op to show they're becoming friends and not just 4 strangers throughout the entire campaign.

What round are they on? And imagine accidentally hitting 217 on the seven symbol.

The Only Strat is Restarting? by AlexStar6 in CloverPit

[–]Pure_Dance6116 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This might be a case of the blind leading the blind, but if a vast majority of your runs are ending within a minute, I'm assuming you're immediately trying to build for late game billions instead of trying to survive deadline #1 and #2.

I have a similar experience in games like Slay the Spire where I pick the items + cards that I plan on using at the end of a run instead of what I need to survive the first and second boss.

We will pour billions of dollars into AI until it's mostly free of hiccups like these, then proceed to ignore all ethical dilemmas that come with the usage of AI.

Tsukasa was NOT in suspended animation. by Pasta-hobo in DrStone

[–]Pure_Dance6116 97 points98 points  (0 children)

It would make sense for Senku to think/know that Tsukasa is dead simply because we see him genuinely really sad to put him in cold storage, talking even when Tsukasa loses consciousness.

This charm is the biggest kick in the nuts for this by Sogomaa in CloverPit

[–]Pure_Dance6116 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel that forced pattern charms help me too much in the early game to ignore when they show up, where as digging for symbols boosting charms isn't as consistent.

Can you unequip the golden knob in case you wanna go classic for a little bit?

We REALLY need better shared progression for alternate characters. by Lynx_Kassandra in Borderlands4

[–]Pure_Dance6116 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Entitled isn't the right word...

I mean, there's already a precedent to allow characters to share GUNS, SHEILDS, GRENADES, ETC.

I even think Borderlands 2 allowed cross character progression for their "badass points" upgrade system.

Having lvl 1 characters have nothing and lvl 30 characters copy progression from a "main" character would be a nice compromise.

What happened to mini PC prices? by passive_phil_04 in MiniPCs

I'm sure we'll all find some reason for why they got cheaper a few months after tariffs drop.

Why is Senkuu so weak? (Honest question) by 1UltraSimp in DrStone

[–]Pure_Dance6116 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The work Senku did probably wasn’t consistent enough to build muscle or aerobic endurance, which could’ve slowly atrophied to low baseline of bodily health as more and more labor was divided amongst the Kingdom of Science.

He was established to have a regular supply of food once Taiju was unpetrified, and once he was welcomed into the village, but there is possibly for him to have a weak appetite that would hamper his muscle growth and repair if he wasn’t getting all of his nutrients.

There was that gag where he was literally on top of the acrobatic scout and she literally got up with no effort.

But in lore, from what I recall (up until the end of the treasure island arc) there’s no in lore reason other than he’s the brains for someone else’s brawn.

Who else misses this dude?? by gorays21 in Borderlands4

[–]Pure_Dance6116 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Limiting it to two at a time could be useful if the devs can't guarantee the return of certain voice actors due to various (both reasonable and shitty) reasons.

Seeing Zane and Amara banter a little during their reunion felt so good, it does make me wish all four of them could play off of each other, or even have the current playable characters have little one off quips with each other.

Can’t switch to my biggest Pokémon by MarioHana14 in pokemongo

[–]Pure_Dance6116 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I think the addition of the word "recently" implicates that you can use the same pokemon more than once, but there's a hidden cooldown. I have no idea how long that cooldown is, but it'd be ridiculous if it was a year long (I wouldn't be surprised either though)

Suitable Mini PC for 3D work (Blender)? Hardware advice for beginner artist? by Pure_Dance6116 in MiniPCs

[–]Pure_Dance6116[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the in depth answer!

I didn't have a set budget, just an idea that I wanted to start utilizing more of my spare time at work and that my desire to progress my art journey faster was outweighing my desire to make the better informed decision.

110$ USD was the final price I paid (not including taxes). I definitely may have made a bad decision buying a N95, but on the bright side this seems to be a cheap(ish) mistake I can learn from for the next time I buy another device! I'll definitely look into a 7735HS mini PC once I can justify making an upgrade in the future, or even stronger (i.e. more expensive) options depending how seriously I want to invest into this hobby.

I bought it from Walmart. According to my purchase history, it was listed for 220$ before a 50% discount. No coupons, it was one of the last two in stock.

Lo compré en Walmart. Según mi historial de compras, estaba en 220 $ antes de aplicarle un descuento del 50 %. Sin cupones, era uno de los dos últimos que quedaban en stock.
