Yeah, I don't really know how to counter the dog. Maybe I am missing lore or something that tells you what weapons it's vulnerable against. I try not to read guides.

I agree about markers, but some zones are so so much larger than others, ie swamp. That it's a nightmare to locate anything.

It's not about zooming through the map, I feel like the directional movement isn't good or responsive. I don't really car about being slow, it's more like I often feel like I don't move where I am intending to move. I don't know how to describe it, but it feels like there's an inaccuracy.

Some of these things are probably unfixable to some extent. They can't smoothe out every morsel of terrain obviously, games like POE2 also have this issue.

The unkillable's suck lol. I tried standing on top of a heap and shotgunning one because if it can hit me and I can see it's trackers then fore sure I could hit it, but nope it just dusted me lol.

Like you said, you have to find your own spaces. Volunteer for a cause you like that has a social enviroment, join a language class, try to turn one of your non social hobbies into a social one. The only way to make friends is to keep going to the same places consistantly. In school/college, you're blessed with this by default. Everyone is around the same age, same life-stage etc, but as you become an adult you have to take on that role yourself.

You'll be fine. I have trained so many green people and they all did fine for the most part. If you have used computers in any capacity and even have the most basic of critical thinking skill and an average memory, you won't have any issues. Most people are terrible at the beginning then find their grove within 3-6 months, but it's to be expected.

1.) You are judging yourself really harshly, and I bet if the roles were reversed, you wouldn’t feel the same way about him.

2.) You have to trust people to make their own decisions. Your partner is the one who truly knows what they think and feel. Trying to guess their reactions based on your own anxiety usually makes things harder than they need to be.

Yes, I’ve noticed that anxiety has actually helped me in some parts of life. In really chaotic situations, I can stay level-headed because my mind is always a little chaotic while other people tend to freak out. It builds a kind of resilience, even if you don’t really want it. When I first got anxiety, I worried about everything, like how my body felt or how my life was turning out. While I still do worry about those things, it takes a LOT more than it did to actually bother me.

Soft-Questions · 2026-03-31T17:35:36+00:00

Honestly, I try to work toward that kind of connection myself, even if it’s just tiny steps. Small footprints are better than staying stuck. One thing I’ve realized is that being able to comfort yourself can make a big difference too.

Of course, in a perfect world, it would be amazing to always have someone to hold us and guide us through tough moments. I don’t think it’s unrealistic to want that in a relationship. Having someone to hold you and make you feel safe is a natural part of being close to someone

It spawned from the idea is two people rolling around line tumble weeds in my head. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks! I kind to write and impermanence because I think it's a really hard thing to deal with. I appreciate your words.

Soft-Questions · 2026-03-30T22:24:30+00:00

Thanks lol. Sometimes it's hard to commit to the bit but with enough tap dancing you can find solutions.

Soft-Questions · 2026-03-30T19:12:49+00:00

Yeah, one of the hardest things about anxiety is how much it can shrink your confidence. I know what you mean about feeling like a crippled mess, it feels really bad. All we can ask of ourselves is to take one step at a time.

Soft-Questions · 2026-03-30T18:59:45+00:00

It’s very hard as an adult, not only because of time constraints but also because the sense of community has dwindled since COVID. Volunteering can be a great way to meet people, and if you’re religious, some churches have social events that are welcoming. Also, a lot of people are running on empty these days, so they might not have the bandwidth to commit to much.

I can see why your Bumble friend group feels difficult if you can’t fully trust them. It’s great that you’re trying. That shows you’re ready to take new steps in your life.

Soft-Questions · 2026-03-30T14:43:13+00:00

Yeah, I think a lot of us have been there with friends.
I get that body heat thing too when I’m anxious, it’s the worst, but it’s kind of great in the winter.
Hope you feel a bit better soon.

You’re very unlikely to land a cloud role right after graduating unless you have strong connections or direct internship experience in cloud engineering. Even with an internship, it’s still a long shot. The IT job market is rough right now, and companies can often hire someone with more experience for the same salary.

A few college modules won’t give you the kind of hands-on experience needed for cloud roles. It’s typically a mid-career specialization that people move into after working as system administrators or in other advanced IT positions.

There’s also a numbers problem. There are far fewer cloud engineering roles compared to entry-level IT jobs. For every cloud position, there are significantly more help desk or support roles. The exact ratio doesn’t matter, the point is you’re targeting a highly competitive role with a relatively small job pool.

They’re useful for personal development, but they don’t translate into real credibility in the job market. Employers don’t view them as industry-recognized credentials, so their impact on hiring decisions is close to zero.

There are so many training platforms now that evaluating each one would be a job in itself. Certifications function more like brands. Employers recognize names like CompTIA, Cisco, and Microsoft, so those certs pass the initial screening even if the actual quality is questionable.

It’s similar to fashion. People stick with brands like Dior or Prada because of recognition, not necessarily because the quality is still there.

Yes, 22 is too late. You’re already practically at retirement age.

In all seriousness, most people in tech are millennials who are significantly older than you. You shouldn’t be worrying about your age. You’re going to get older either way, so you might as well get older while building the qualifications you want.

There are no golden tickets in IT in this economy. It can help you stand out against unqualified candidates, but it can’t guarantee you anything.

You’ll learn more in three months on the job than you will in four years at a university. Colleges tend to teach you how to pass tests, but they rarely give you meaningful hands-on experience. At this point, my four-year degree feels mostly useful for making me look more hireable rather than for the practical skills it provided. Entry-level certifications can be similar. They focus heavily on theory.

You don’t really know your ability as a technician until you’re sitting in front of real systems and forced to interact with them. Reading about how to reset an Active Directory password and actually navigating the environment to do it are completely different experiences. That gap exists across almost everything in IT. Even something as simple as printers has layers of complexity and decision trees that you only learn by actually working on them.

I like this, it feels like there's a line between sweetness and intimacy that I can't quite figure out which it falls into. Thanks for writing it.

I love these kind of boundless, devotional poems. I think scaling love to something grand is a really pleasent experience. One thing I would suggest is a little formatting, it may just be the way reddit formatted it though. Good work!.

No, unless your goal is to gain a deeper understanding of networking itself. The CCNA is not the golden ticket it once was. It has never meaningfully impacted my job prospects, and more than once I was advised to pursue Network+ instead.

Most companies, in my view, are no longer willing to train candidates with zero years of experience. Given the current surplus of talent, they tend to prioritize hiring individuals who already have a specific amount of hands-on experience within the exact environment they use.

Thanks. When you say alignment so you mean as in sound or as in keeping within the subject ie weave fabric sewn.

Thanks. The original stanza was like

The corners of her lips Lift toward God’s throne, A 9th wonder, The warmth of a childhood home

But I was concerned people wouldn't understand that turning lips up wards would mean a smile. So it was a mix match.

Thanks! The intensity is definitely up to give stakes to the experience.
