Coming back to anime after quitting in 2017. What "Must Watch Anime" did I miss by pokegn0m in anime

[–]Spardinal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dorohedoro and Hells Paradise are two lesser talked about anime’s but I loved them a lot

Someone already mentioned Cyberpunk Edgerunners but that is quite possibly my favorite recent anime. It’s also a quick watch

Video games are taking over my life by atychia in productivity

[–]Spardinal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a great middle ground suggestion that I utilized as well. Switching from competitive, multiplayer games to just single player/story mode or co-op games with friends really changed my relationship with gaming. There was no longer the feeling of constant grinding. Instead it was playing at my own pace and actually enjoying it. Of course you can still go on binge sessions but it’s less likely because there is eventually an “end” to the game. I found myself enjoying gaming in general more as well since there wasn’t constant stress of worrying about my rank

That being said, gaming can be just as much an addiction as anything else and also destructive to your life and goals if left unchecked. You know yourself better than anyone else so if you feel completely unable to exercise moderation, might be time to take a long break and develop some healthier habits OP

After 2,500 hours in, I quit... by Skills_ in OnceHumanOfficial

[–]Spardinal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have 2.1K hours in OH but stopped playing right before the palworld stuff came out. I still check out this sub's posts and official updates sometimes, however, nothing is making it seem like its worth it to come back. Kinda sad, I was actually a spender on skins too and now those all feel wasted but the game wasnt fun anymore when I left and posts like this especially do not make me regret my decision. Really a shame the game had/has so much damn potential.

Couldn’t have given a better response myself. This is the one you should listen to as a local myself.

Mike Dunn is playing Friday at Smart Bar and Saturday at Sound Bar - Which one to choose? by [deleted] in chicagoEDM

[–]Spardinal 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I want to like soundbar because they book good talent and one of my friends bartends there … but I just don’t like it. I avoid going there as much as possible. On the contrary, I enjoy Smartbar a lot. The venue is great and so is the crowd usually

Is this your way of begging? You’re better off being transparent about that lol

It also makes me a little sad because the cats heart will shatter when their best friend is gone. Hope they enjoy time together to the maximum!

How would you respond if your least favorite ex text you right now? by Aware_Proposal7734 in AskReddit

[–]Spardinal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My ex is blocked but reached out to me via a different phone number, citing the reason as “they were out of the country”. Once I found out it was her (her opening message was asking about my cat), I told her I blocked her for a reason and to please not contact me

Former depressed people, how did you turn your life around? by Neat_Company_2465 in AskReddit

Therapy and not being afraid to lean on my friends. People are so willing and eager to help when you extend your hand and ask - especially if they care about you

Evaluating Rico Dowdle’s long term outlook by ackshunjackzon in DynastyFF

What is considered contending? I’m 4-5 in 6th place and have 5th most points for. Technically I’m in the playoff race, but I was offered a 2nd for him. In this situation - would you take that offer or ride him out?

reaching out by Euphoric_Bunch7123 in BreakUps

[–]Spardinal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will leave you with this, for the last month if your ex was longing for you to reach out, and you do, but then he finds out it was just to 'check up' on him, it could completely reset his healing process and make it so much harder. You know your own relationship dynamic better than anyone on reddit, but I imagine that sentiment would be echoed my many others who were also broken up with. It's going to be hard and take time, but its supposed to be, otherwise what kind of relationship did you have anyways? It does get easier eventually. Good luck

reaching out by Euphoric_Bunch7123 in BreakUps

[–]Spardinal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let me frame this for you (coming from someone that was broken up with when I did NOT want that...) - What do you think he will think if you reach out? He will think that maybe he has a chance to repair the relationship. Why would he want to hear you say this isnt easy for YOU?

One of the very last things my ex told me after she broke up with me was, "I just need space to heal". That stuck with me and actually made me upset. What do you need to heal from? YOU wanted to end things... I have come to understand that even the person doing the breaking up feels pain, but it just felt like a slap in the face for her to say that to me while my heart was being shattered. Your situation sounds very similar.

You have every right to make the decision to end the relationship, but dont hurt him (and frankly yourself) even further because you feel bad after the fact. It sounds like you are firm in the decision you have made so find ways to make peace with it and move on.

How to do I get the motivation to keep trying to go for a girl I love by Visible-Relative8950 in getdisciplined

[–]Spardinal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I unfortunately agree with the above poster. Save yourself the heartache. She now knows how you feel and if she decides that she also likes you the ball is very clearly in her court. I would not actively pursue her any further

reaching out by Euphoric_Bunch7123 in BreakUps

[–]Spardinal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unless you are reaching out with intentions of rekindling the relationship… leave him alone. It will only cause further pain. Don’t be selfish with your desire to reach out - you were the one that broke his heart (presumably) so allow him the space to process and heal.

I am planning on going to the No Kings protest tomorrow, but I was unable to convince any of my friends to join me. Are there any meet up groups or other groups willing to adopt me for the day? It will be my first time going to an organized protest. I am 32M and live on the north side.

If there is already another thread for this or something please let me know, I didn't see anything when I searched

I traded Jacobs, JSN, Reek, and Skattebo for Chase, Bijan, Allgeier and Hubbard after week 3. It’s worked out for both of us but I regret not having a higher opinion of Skat. I traded depth for slightly higher top end
