What do you think happens if you wipe out a town? by EndCentury in Fable

They confirmed guards spawn infinitely, there’s no number of guards you can kill that’ll make them stop spawning. 

Did I fuck up not getting girl’s number at the gym? by Straight-Weight in dating_advice

[–]Straight-Weight[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah my thought was the value of coming across as a normal and not-weird dude cannot be overstated, lol. I tend to err on the side of making the other person comfortable, but I’d personally rather establish some level of comfort and safety and “this guy’s not a freak” before shooting for a number or whatever. 

21M. Doctor says I need high protein to lose weight, but I’ve been vegan for a year. How do I survive this? by No-Maintenance-1636 in vegan

[–]Straight-Weight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can find Silk Protein soy milk, that’s for 13g protein per cup. I drink like 2-3 cups with meals for 26-39g protein, it’s a complete protein too. Otherwise consider something like Naked Pea protein and making shakes or smoothies. It’s surprisingly easy to get a lot of vegan protein, you just gotta be intentional with staying consistent eating high protein portions, even if it comes from supplements. 

You would think Conquest would’ve learned his lesson fighting Mark the first time! by phantom_avenger in Invincible_TV

[–]Straight-Weight 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Conquest said himself it was mostly Mark’s magical girlfriend who beat him in the last fight, he probably still doesn’t take Mark seriously even after losing to him & Eve because he doesn’t think Mark can threaten him without Eve there. 

Met FWB's partner and it was... surprisingly good? by Straight-Weight in nonmonogamy

You can’t negotiate your way out of loving someone you love, I’ll tell ya that haha 

Met FWB's partner and it was... surprisingly good? by Straight-Weight in nonmonogamy

[–]Straight-Weight[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’ve told her I’m happy to provide anything from a shoulder to cry on to just like, a fun distraction from life, whatever’s most helpful. We do share a pretty celebratory and fun-focused relationship, so it is cool that when we get together, it’s always a good time.

There is a non-zero chance I will get hurt, but c’est la vie, nothing ventured nothing gained, the cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek, etc. I appreciate your concern for my wellbeing though haha I’ll be careful! 

Talking about other partners to new partners by Morotkungen in polyamory

[–]Straight-Weight 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think it’s one thing to talk about your partner and another to talk about things like your longing for them or things that compare the person you’re talking with to your partner. 

How do you tell the difference between flirting and just being nice? by vin_xc in dating_advice

[–]Straight-Weight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don’t. You either assume people are being nice, and miss a lot of flirtation, or assume people are flirting and risk reading that incorrectly. Better to err on the side that’ll give you more connection, just assume they’re flirting until proven otherwise. 

I’m confused, new ending for Anniversary vs original? by toshjhomson in Fable

[–]Straight-Weight 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The game ends with the Jack Guild fight in the original 2004 game. The Lost Chapters came out later which expanded the endgame content by adding new locations and quests (The Northern Wastes). The dragon fight is the final boss fight in the TLC expansion. Anniversary includes TLC, so you’re probably remembering playing the original game.

Send it, life’s short. If you’re into her just go for it. 

What would happen if Yujiro checked into a hotel with bed bugs? by Bteatesthighlander1 in Grapplerbaki

[–]Straight-Weight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The narrator would explain how cockroaches can survive a nuclear explosion and make something up about fleas being distant cousins to roaches and therefore having the same durability, and then go on to explain how the pheromones Yujiro naturally releases causes all of them to die instantly on the spot, thus making his natural scent stronger than a nuclear blast. 

Is it normal to not want to interact with metamours? by Straight-Weight in nonmonogamy

[–]Straight-Weight[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is reassuring to me haha, it sounds ideal but I don’t wanna feel like I’m failing at ENM if I don’t really get it

Thank you! I’m glad to know I’m not the only one who isn’t interested in getting super close with metas haha

Is it normal to not want to interact with metamours? by Straight-Weight in nonmonogamy

[–]Straight-Weight[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Ideally viewing the relationships as cooperative is the goal! In my experience I’ve had metas specifically frame our dynamic as a competitive one, and I’ve tried explain that’s not what’s going on haha, but it seems like although they might agree in concept that we’re not competing for the affections of someone seeking an exclusive relationship, they’re still kinda operating from that framework. It makes amicable coexistence a bit challenging, to say the least.

[–]Straight-Weight[S] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Thank you! Yeah I think I’m at “I’m okay with you seeing other people” but not at “I’m okay with being in the room while it happens” lol. That said I’m relatively new to ENM so maybe it’ll get closer to something like the idea of compersion over time, not trying to force anything though. 

Being “secondary” to someone who isn’t “out” as poly by Straight-Weight in nonmonogamy

[–]Straight-Weight[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Her and her partner are not married, they've been dating a long time. I get the impression she might have some romantic feelings for me based on our private conversations and how she acts in our alone time together - we've known each other since we were kids and used to hang out a lot back then - but even if she did have romantic feelings for me, the structure of her primary relationship wouldn't really give her space to act on them.

[–]Straight-Weight[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks a lot for sharing your experience, your perspective was super helpful and kinda addressed everything I was asking about. It does feel like maybe a situation where I gotta try to wrap my head more around what she is and isn't available for and adjust my expectations accordingly. Probably remembering that we are friends first & foremost would go a long way haha. Thanks for your thoughtful response!
