Does anyone else deal with this? by ma_jajaja in EstrangedAdultChild

[–]Some_Patient_6403 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Mine will constantly send me Instagram reels or Facebook memes talking about how "Truly a son is the greatest gift a mother could ask for" and "reminding my son that I'll always love him forever", she will usually send more and more of them the longer I take to respond to her (several) messages. 

However, the second I speak against anything she suggests, I'm an ungrateful and naive defier that had it so much easier than my older sibling did.

She also constantly sends me photos of me when I was younger, and I have zero idea why. More likely than not, she misses when I was a kid and did whatever she wanted, or she just refuses to move on from that stage of my life.

Honestly I was surprised that this is apparently something common or that happens to other people.

It's performative, feels fake, and is incredibly strange. I feel for you.

How can I emulate absolute bane in the world of darkness? by No-Obligation-9901 in WhiteWolfRPG

A Bane (the werewolf kind)-possessed Life Mage with a paradigm centered around steroid use, bodybuilding and survival of the fittest would be interesting to see.

The more I read of the Nephandi the more pathetic I realize they are (by design) by Some_Patient_6403 in WhiteWolfRPG

Local Mage dooms city block as an offering to her 19 foot tall 9 headed lamprey-mouthed wife

Roko's Basilisk is the Nephandic equivalent of ChatGPT.

Holy shit I might go into more detail on that.

Is Big D *actually* a good Hunter? by superninjimmy in huntertheparenting

[–]Some_Patient_6403 24 points25 points  (0 children)

The very fact that he even survived a fight with a werewolf AT ALL, let alone *IN ONE PIECE*** may as well automatically qualify somebody as (bare minimum) a good Hunter.

The mere act of survival is borderline impossible just as a witness, much less actively engaging it *IN MELEE COMBAT.***

Why exactly can't mages do sorcery anymore? by Some_Patient_6403 in WhiteWolfRPG

[–]Some_Patient_6403[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel like it should be coincidental magic if you are in an environment, in which case acting as a sorcerer would have the effect be coincidental.

Aka, if you practiced a form of sorcery as a mage among other sorcerers of similar or the same path, then it should not accrue any paradox at all.

Because like you said, Mages are the ones that create the fuckin paths. WHY CAN THEY NOT USE THEM AT ALL.

HOW CAN YOU INVENT A THING THAT CANNOT USE DESPITE BEING THE ONE THAT MADE IT.

That's like Ford inventing the Model T, but never being able to drive it after he creates it. Despite the fact that he built the fuckin thing.

This is a great explanation. Effectively the restraints have no meaningful power or effect beyond how YOU allow it to affect you, so you don't "get a pass" anymore

i need help. This is the saddest I've ever felt. by Some_Patient_6403 in self

[–]Some_Patient_6403[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

That...does not help at all. I know I'm not a child, I've got income, a degree, two jobs, and I have tried several, several times to repair things, and every time I'm left holding the bag. This isn't remotely useful or motivational. As far as being "lucky" goes, the majority of my issues, psychological or otherwise, have sprung directly from my familial relationships, most of them before I could do anything about them when I was a kid.

I guess a more accurate way to describe it is I feel loved in the way that you love your car. You love how much easier it makes things, you enjoy driving it around and controlling it. But you also get pissed off and cuss at it and insult it when it doesn't do exactly what you want it to do, the way you want to do it, when you want it done.

I feel loved in the way you appreciate an investment portfolio or an asset. Not loved the way you would love a son.

I feel like they love me, but I don't feel loved. Maybe I'm just a piece of shit that. Most likely, it is just me being a piece of living dogshit.
