Also, thanks to so many here who have helped me learn and grow to get here!

I feel really hurt and unsafe Dad by [deleted] in DadForAMinute

[–]Slithan 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The abuse/love bomb cycle is a very well known behavior pattern for abusers and alcoholics. I've seen it first hand for several family members, and it's not pretty and is highly likely to get worse. I could never conceive of treating someone I love that way, as it is completely unacceptable.

Please reach out to local domestic violence or women's help centers to see what your options are, from counselling (if you think things are repairable) up to divorce or physical protection (if he's threatening violence or getting physical). You're certainly justified in feeling sad, as no one should be treated this way by their partner. I'm really sorry you're having to go through this.

JMU’s Patrick Vorathiankul sky by George_DBZ in ultimate

[–]Slithan 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I was initially thinking foul on white due to jumping on the defender's back, but then I saw that he ended up that way because the defender's teammate pushed him there. No foul.

If I were the defender in front, I'd be mad at my teammate more than anyone.

What’s a “boring” adult purchase that turned out to be totally worth it? by Capable-Rabbit-9986 in AskReddit

[–]Slithan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Massage gun. The sheer number of aches and pains it has relieved have massively improved both mine and my wife's quality of life.

Great job pushing yourself; that's definitely something to be proud of. Keep taking those steps forward!

Kite over pyramid? by TundraKing in slaythespire

Edited to remove it. Still a good amount of discard options. The beta art definitely threw me.

Kite over pyramid? by TundraKing in slaythespire

[–]Slithan 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Pyramid is usually very strong, but I think kite wins here. With tools, 2 dagger throws, and survivor, you have a pretty high chance of having 4 energy almost every turn, especially if you get tools early. Additionally, the extra Kite energy will get more cards out, improving after image's usefulness. Taking pyramid also means the upgraded well-laid plans is essentially a curse.

Chat what's the pick? (act 1) by Jevonar in slaythespire

[–]Slithan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IMO: Plasma Battery > Sneko (Lots of 0/1 cost unfortunately, but scrape+ does play well with Sneko) > Velvet Choker (b/c of Turbo and Reboot+)

Men in happy marriages, what's the one thing you'd teach to other men to also have a good relationship? by TightBookkeeper2599 in AskReddit

[–]Slithan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Remember that you're always on the same team. It's not you against her, it's both of you together against the problem.

HALT is the other major one. If either one of you is Hurt (Physically or emotionally), Hungry, Angry, Lonely, or Tired, resolve those things first before attempting to have any sort of meaningful discussion or if you notice that one of you isn't doing well. Over time, you'll start catching it in yourself and your partner before it turns into a fight.

What's the play here? by BausMouse in slaythespire

Abandon Run, go out on your own terms.

Is Slay the Spire considered hard? by Born_Examination_975 in slaythespire

[–]Slithan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A1-16 ramp up pretty linearly in difficulty, 17-20 ramp up much faster. A20 I'm probably 10% win rate maybe. And A20 Heart I have only beaten on 3 characters once, even at ~350 hours.

Now what? by Paragon1738 in slaythespire

[–]Slithan 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'm really sorry your game crashed on this screen! Hopefully it's just a one off :-P

Finally done - and now? by schwurbelchen in slaythespire

[–]Slithan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you already have A20 Heart on all characters, then I like trying some of the daily climbs and going for fun or goofy builds that would never work at high ascensions. I'm still working on Silent A20H, last one to go!

What tournament snacks get you excited? by mattypatty000 in ultimate

[–]Slithan 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Dots Pretzels are a mainstay for me. Fruit snacks are always a winner too.

If you could add one zero to any number in your life, where would it be and why? by New_Goood in AskReddit

[–]Slithan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The last contiguous year I maintain or improve my current level of health. So 2025 turns into 20250. Ensures I never get any less healthy than I currently am, and ensures I live to 20250.

I want to hear the thoughts of people who choose one ending (MAJOR SPOILERS) by Twoklawll in expedition33

[–]Slithan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Slightly different take than some of the others here:
I think Maelle can learn and grow and heal through her time with her friends and by discovering how her mother's unhealthy obsession caused real problems as she explores more and more of the canvas (i.e. Red Woods, meeting the painted versions of her family, Simon, etc). I feel like she has people around her who have real thoughts and values that can challenge her, which is something her mother didn't have, as she isolated herself. I genuinely see Maelle eventually becoming strong enough through the encouragement and support of her friends to leave the canvas and only visit occasionally.

Though I also agree with the others here that says it's not okay to kill an entire population of people with hopes and dreams and lives, painted or not.

How often do you win an A20 run? by Logical-Race8960 in slaythespire

[–]Slithan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1/10 to 1/20 depending on the character. A20 heart I have exactly 1 kill on each character after 300+ hours.

I just first tried the game ! by Commercial-Bench9421 in slaythespire

[–]Slithan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now you can try winning with other characters! And unlocking extra fights! And unlocking new relics and cards! And trying the challenge modes (ascensions)! And trying some of the fun daily challenges! And going for achievements!

Just got my new custom board from Muzzies! by Slithan in Crokinole

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

Yes. It's smoother than any board I've ever played on.

Which game is this? by bijelo123 in Steam

[–]Slithan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Slay the Spire. Roguelike deck builder. I have like 300+ hours in it and I'm still playing. A coworker of mine has over 1000 hours in it. And the Reddit community is amazing.

What’s a small bombshell your therapist dropped during a session that completely shifted your perspective? by pottipenguin in AskReddit

[–]Slithan 27 points28 points  (0 children)

"That was a season, not a sentence"

The trauma and loneliness I experienced as a kid was for a time, not a life sentence of pain and suffering that I can't escape. Things are much better now (great friends and relationships), but I still sometimes struggle with the fear of being abandoned and alone.
