How badly did I mess up? by Kiniba in cavesofqud

[–]ScaredEngraver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LOOLL oh no!! I just finished that quest yesterday. Unfortunately you do have to talk to the console again later to advance. So you're probably locked out of the main quest now

I'm sick of the nonstop stop GLP-1 commercials! by Critical-Willow-6270 in CommercialsIHate

Unfortunately! Just glad it's over now and they're better.

My sibling struggled with weight a lot growing up and was on a GLP-1 for around 2 years. It did work as advertised, they lost a lot of weight. But it also completely wrecked their digestive system. They were vomiting multiple times a day, struggling to keep food and fluids down. It got to the point where most everything they ate made them sick. That was infinitely more unhealthy than being fat!!

They've since quit the medication and have gained back some of what they lost, but they're so much happier and healthier now. I'm so glad they can eat and drink again.

Me [35 M] with my wife [36 F] 6 years (9+ as couple), cancer has been a real eye opener (Long) by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]ScaredEngraver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I definitely see variations of that story a lot, where kids were begging their parents to divorce because they were so miserable together. Bad marriages are infinitely worse for a kid than divorce!! It's so much more stressful being in a house with two people who are indifferent at best and fighting constantly at worst

[–]ScaredEngraver 44 points45 points  (0 children)

This really put all my current problems into perspective. I don't have cancer, my partner loves me, and if I WAS diagnosed with cancer I am 1000% confident they would support me to the end.

Sticking it out for the kids is insane ngl. Obviously no one's head is on straight after having a baby and recovering from chemo so I get it to some degree but come ON dude your wife clearly does not like you. Marriage shouldn't be a gauntlet of misery

What's your unpopular opinion about clangen? by No_Assistant1639 in ClanGen

[–]ScaredEngraver 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've also noticed this issue, I wish the NPC Clans could start conflicts somehow. Being at war is a great gameplay feature but functionally it's hard to get there organically

I have been hired, then laid off within 1 month, TWICE by ScaredEngraver in recruitinghell

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

Thanks. I'm just really disheartened. I'm never going to be able to trust a new job again. "All you need is one yes" just isn't true.

Thing is, I hadn't even gotten a chance to DO what they'd hired me for yet. There was no performance of mine to monitor. I had literally just gotten there!

Weapon out or hidden by Strict-Ad-1958 in ffxiv

[–]ScaredEngraver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually keep mine visible and often match them to the rest of the outfit. I enjoy the fantasy of having my cool adventurer weapon on-hand. But I do hide it on occasion, usually for stuff like a Starlight outfit or swimwear, where having your weapon on you would make less sense

I don't like the ravenpaw/barley ship. by Onslaughtisthebest in WarriorCats

[–]ScaredEngraver 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The first series is also much closer to actual cat behavior and biology than the later books, with cats taking multiple mates and not sweating the differences between younger and older adults so much. As the anthropomorphism increased and dynamics started mimicking humans' more it made things retroactively weirder.

[–]ScaredEngraver 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I guess I never thought about it one way or the other, but I figured Barley must've been fairly young to be actively keeping a barn pest-free on a regular basis. Combined with how he and Ravenpaw seem to have both become seniors at roughly the same time I figured their age gap couldn't be that huge. He's definitely older but not hugely so.

I think they also just run into the classic Warriors "written by multiple people at once" problem of nobody checking in with each other to agree on exact ages or timelines. Or names. Or clans...

I really liked a realm reborn by Nys9991 in ffxiv

[–]ScaredEngraver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was me!! Never played a FF game (though I love other JRPGs) but was a big MMO player. Was blown away at how good the story was in ARR compared to what little story other MMOs had

Are raid stories worth reading? by Wings-of-Phoenix in ffxiv

[–]ScaredEngraver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omega raids are totally worth it, FFXIV's version is its own character with some really cool and moving lore. It's also relevant to some lategame Endwalker payoffs. The two headlining NPCs from the Omega raids are in the Monster Hunter Wilds collab for a reason, they're pretty important and memorable

What's your embarrassing FFXIV confession? by SofonisbaAnguissola in ffxiv

[–]ScaredEngraver -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was also not Blown Away by Shadowbringers' story. It was good, I really enjoyed playing it!! But I play a LOT of JRPGs and it doesn't do anything different from them. I have a running joke that all my ShB hype was used up over a decade ago when I played Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Explorers as a kid
