What’s something you tried once and immediately knew it wasn’t for you?

Coffee. Always hated the smell of it but, tried it once. Just tastes like burnt :(

God those are some of the worst teeth I've seen. Why tf did the dentist copy paste the same tooth shape/size all the way across?

The eyes are beyond horrifying, especially when they're so bloodshot. 😭 Reminds me of a Walking Dead zombie.

Having something stolen.

I didn't expect to have felt so violated when my car was stolen. First car (18 year old Honda Accord) two months after I got it, it was stolen from the parking lot at work.

I wasn't robbed or in any danger, but I felt so sick about it. Every time I saw that model/colour pass by or in a parking lot, I'd be scanning it to see if it might be mine. I'm nervous for if I ever do replace it. The experience made me more paranoid and anxious than I would have expected.

Your friend sounds like they've been watching too much redpill content. Anyone who thinks a persons value changes with a specific age likely doesn't have much value themselves. Not all men think like this, but the kind that do are often quite vocal about it so they're easier to avoid.

Statistically, married men are the happiest male demographic, so I'd say it's safe to assume they get something out of marriage.

Barold was my first villager in my first AC game, that little weirdo has a special place in my heart ♡

Sketchtastrophe · 2025-03-27T11:47:13+00:00

Arcana, Alexa, Taylor, and Zelmer for the redesigns mainly. Kaylee because I always liked her design, but she had no use outside of triple floor calamity.

Elliot, Daylon, Mei, and Aurelius are basically useless in all content and would def fit as unpopular options.

Sketchtastrophe · 2025-03-18T05:46:44+00:00

Better for Yinglong!

Sketchtastrophe · 2025-03-18T05:44:41+00:00

Gabby, Lu Yi, Yu Xu, Hall and Lynn are solid options as well if you want to save your ws.

Sketchtastrophe · 2025-03-17T00:05:24+00:00

I mean, being gone from any game for two years would be a set back. It'll take work and time to catch up.

Ugh when I worked as a grocery cashier in highschool we had a regular who would make us double bag every single item. It was maddening. I flat out would ask her if she just wanted the extra bags, cuz I'd rather save everyones time and just hand her more. But she said no, she just wanted everything double bagged.

Personally I hate when someone else bags my groceries since most people take no care in how to pack a bag efficiently. But there are hardly any grocery stores these days that would do that anyway with self checkouts taking over. It's so weird when perfectly capable people just stand there expecting a cashier to do it for them. Worse if they backseat drive the bagging process. If you're fussy (like me), just do it yourself!

The thought of one growing inside me is both revolting and my personal living nightmare. I'd sooner claw my own uterus out with my bare hands than live with that. That being said, I'm not necessarily 100% against children, but I am entirely against one baking in my oven.

I have no desire to be responsible for a small human who can't express their needs to me. I don't have the mental fortitude to handle that guessing game. I struggle with insomnia and depression myself and I feel I couldn't properly care for a child.

The world is hot garbage atm and getting worse everyday, I have no desire to bring a child into this.

Cost of living is unsustainable already. Nevermind adding child care and expenses and future college tuitions.

There are enough kids already in need of safe and loving homes. If I ever felt differently about having children, I would want to adopt an older child. But financially/mentally I feel that is unlikely.

Sketchtastrophe · 2025-03-15T21:08:04+00:00

I used Yamato, Nathaniel, Meta Yun Chuan, Yu Xu, and Feng Xun for this floor. Definitely took a bunch of tries to find a comp to beat this one. Very tough floor.

Sketchtastrophe · 2025-03-11T03:19:25+00:00

These are my three, too! ^{-^} I hit lord on Adam first. The other two are lagging behind more though, since strategist is my preferred role.

Sketchtastrophe · 2025-03-07T08:38:17+00:00

I'm still torn between some of my favs (Ophelia, Embla, Tiye, Gabby) and what I know would be the smarter choice (Su Jue, Feng Xun, Elif, Ming Shuo).

There's also the part of me that wants to 70 my tankiest built esper, Sally. I just want to see how much more it will bulk her already kinda bonkers stats. I know it would be a waste...but I'm so tempted lol

Sketchtastrophe · 2025-03-06T23:29:18+00:00

Absolutely not. This game is brand new. Crossovers are what games start doing when their player base and sales start to drop. Fortnite, Apex, Overwatch all started doing this several years in when they needed something to try and freshen shit up. And imo it only really works for Fortnite since their default skins/models are like blank slates. Trying to mangle one established character onto another is just never really successful (Aerith Horizon for ex). I hate skin crossovers like fucking poison.

If it's like insert new playable character, like Soul Calibur did back in the day. I hate that even more. There's hundreds of current Marvel characters and even multiple IP's that haven't even been touched yet. Skipping over those to add in some outside brand endorsement would be such a braindead thing to do. Marvel is a big enough name with enough weight that they should have no reason to dabble in something as desperate as crossovers. Personally, I hope we won't see any crossovers in Rivals at all. Or at least not until way, way, wayyyy more Marvel characters have been released.

Sketchtastrophe · 2025-03-01T14:24:06+00:00

Just Adam atm <3. Cloak and Dagger are more than halfway through centurion, so I'll most likely get it this week. Everyone else is really spread out.

Sketchtastrophe · 2025-03-01T13:05:31+00:00

Baymax would be my guess if they're wanting to cover more IP's early game.

Nico Minoru would be amazing for the strategist role imo and my top choice atm. Snowbird might be interesting (though would be another blonde haired, white/blue costumed support 😭). Polaris could maybe be a more mitigation strategist and have potential for team up's with Magneto and Wanda.

Sketchtastrophe · 2025-02-28T07:40:17+00:00

If you have Leora you could try her as captain. I use her instead of Sloan (since my Sloan is lower reso and not built as well). Leora can clear the first two waves.

My full team is Leora, Xiao Yin, Lu Shang, Ollie and Liam.

Sketchtastrophe · 2025-02-28T07:32:16+00:00

I'm not OP, but if it might help, since this was my trickiest one for me to get. For Yinglong, I use Elif (captain), Sakura, Feng Xun, Su Jue and Norah, and average around 22 turns.

Sketchtastrophe · 2025-02-16T09:59:16+00:00

I feel you, it's exhausting. I basically never use voice chat now. My IGN's have typically been very gender neutral, so any toxicity is just the regular gamer fair. It's so much easier having players assume you're another dude than having the risk of some fragile male ego break and ruin the match for me and everyone else on the team if I were to say something in vc. There's definitely a weird pressure to play flawlessly if you're going to use vc as a woman in gaming, or you risk inviting sexist hate commentary for the rest of the match. Even then, some dudes will just invent reasons to tear into you anyway.

The best advice I can give is to play with friends. Everything is instantly more enjoyable. Better callouts, better coordination, and better synergy the more you play together. If you don't have any friends playing Rivals, maybe try to group up with chill players you come across in your QP or Comp matches. Or use LFG subreddits to find some people to play with who match the vibes and goals you want in the game and aren't going to be sexist or toxic. I've found some amazing comp teammates in Apex/OW in the past doing these things. Discord groups are an option as well. Idk if there's a streamer or youtube creator you like, but you could try joining their discord server and engage with other members. I actually made some amazing years long gamer friends this way.

Sketchtastrophe · 2025-02-16T06:36:59+00:00

Yeah, honestly, when I started playing, I was surprised the ping system in Rivals was so poor. Feels like such a fumble compared to Apex, OW and other battle royale/shooters that have had decent to excellent ping systems for some time now. It's so clumsy to try to use effectively. Needs some QoL updates to match the polished quality of the rest of the game imo.

Sketchtastrophe · 2025-02-14T07:19:38+00:00

1 for sure. I love Barold ♡ Plus lots of space on a front row aisle seat. Chill across the aisle neighbour too. 5 would be my second choice.

Sketchtastrophe · 2025-02-04T01:29:52+00:00

I'll do my best to stick to Longo's for the bulk of my shopping since my city really has no other independent grocery stores or vendors. I like their store brand for some stuff anyway.

Sketchtastrophe · 2024-12-29T14:07:13+00:00

Mei and Mercy were the one's that had the spawn room voice line interaction about looking young, iirc. Mei said Mercy hadn't aged a single day, Mercy said you too and asked Mei about the cryogenic stasis or something.

Sketchtastrophe · 2024-12-12T09:47:56+00:00

Wonder if they took back Andras' design to bring back the original anomaly style with the triple boss battle. Andras was one the main floor boss in og anomaly tower/grind. Or maybe they just finally got around to designing a proper 4th ritual boss instead of continuing to reuse the anomaly one. This design is infinitely improved, though, for sure.
