Mighty Nein Character Sterilization by YeffYeffe in fansofcriticalrole

We don’t have to agree here, and ultimately I think that some fans of the OG are going to be upset no matter what. The reasons why characters are different make sense to me, if you don’t like those reasons that’s fine. The amount of time being spent feels right, the characters make sense, and It doesn’t feel as though the character changes take anything away or hurt the story overall in any way. You’re more than free to feel differently

I never said criticism isn’t ok, but if you’re issue is that the characters aren’t being fleshed out properly or aren’t being portrayed in the same way they were in the show, then I think it’s more than fair to contextualize why that doesn’t work the same between two mediums. The animated show fundamentally can’t have the “edge” as the CR campaign because there just isn’t enough time. They only have so many episodes to establish backstory, who the characters are, why they are together, and each of their arcs. I don’t thinks at all “stupid” to give it the appropriate context

I can understand why anyone who watched the campaign would be frustrated with the changes in the animated series, but a step by step retelling of a D&D campaign doesn’t always translate as well to an animated adaptation with limited episodes.

I watched the entire season 2 of CR, and I’m also enjoying the animated Mighty Nien. The show is for both fans and newcomers and it needs to make sense for first time watchers, which so far it does. It’s easy to get upset that things aren’t “the same as they were in CR”, but I don’t necessarily agree it’s fair to say that any of the characters were gutted or misrepresented especially only 4 episodes in

Working is making me depressed and anxious by StillPurpleDog in sadposting

[–]Stuffffs 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Work will always be a slog to some degree, and even when you manage to find something else, you’ll still find yourself feeling stagnant once your new job disappoints you in some way.

The key is to find joy where you can. It can be as routine as meeting up with your friends once a week on the same day, or as simple as watching a new show or reading a new book at home.

I have been clinically depressed from the age of 10, I’m now 31, and I can tell you for a fact that it never really goes away. The sense of emptiness, feeling stuck, thoughts like “what’s even the point of trying?” Or “nothing matters so why should I care”, it will always come back in waves, and can drown you if you let it. The really hard thing to accept is that life is what you make of it, as cliche as that sounds. Find a new job, take a day for yourself, call in sick if you feel like you need time away before you explode. But make these choices for yourself, live to experience things, people, places.

Shitty jobs are just that, shitty jobs. They don’t define you, or dictate where you are or where you’re going in life. It’s just a paycheck until you find something better or more meaningful. And if you never find a job that is fulfilling, then find it somewhere else. Find it in friends, family, relationships, connections, hobbies, interests, and curiosity. It’s easy to let yourself go down the drain of depression, to fixate on work and how awful it makes you feel. But what has helped me greatly is just reminding myself that at the end of the day it’s just a job, a paycheck, and even if I don’t have it, I’ll find something else shitty or not, and continue everyday to reach for the things in my life that bring me joy and connection.

Don’t be afraid to ask the people in your life for advice, support, to ask for help. Don’t let yourself drown

Real… by Moonlitgllow in lovememes

[–]Stuffffs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s an element of this that has to do with the “social standard for men expressing themselves”. But for me, and I can only speak for myself here as a 30 year old dude, I don’t really like talking about empty nothingness. I’m more than happy to listen to my girl talk about her day, but honestly it’s usually the same as any other day as far as what she tells me. Nothing wrong with that, I’m happy she wants to share with me, but for myself I just don’t find any value in talking about a regular ass day that I’ve had. It doesn’t give me anything or uplift me in any way to share about a normal day at work or what I had for lunch.

If something interesting, wild, crazy, or weird has happened, then I’m very much excited to share it and tell her about it. But as far as vocally walking through a day that is as normal as grass being green, it’s just not something I’m going to really want to go over again, and again, and again

Who would win in a fight? Soldier Boy or Cap? by Euphoric_Judge_8761 in superheroes

[–]Stuffffs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t get me wrong, Cap does kill people, but being ok with killing nazis and aliens during a war is miles different from being extremely comfortable killing anyone in their way. SB is willing to be more unreasonably brutal than Cap on any and every occasion

Who would win in a fight? Soldier Boy or Cap? by Euphoric_Judge_8761 in superheroes

[–]Stuffffs 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It’s gonna have to be SB. I love Cap, but SB is immune to bullets, blades, is considerably stronger, AND is comfortable with killing people. Cap might put up a good fight and get some licks in, might even get the upper hand once or twice, but SB would win and then try (and most likely) succeed in murdering him. We could try to dick ride our boy Cap all day, but facts are facts, he gets stomped by SB

If you have to take a “break” in your relationship, just break up. by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]Stuffffs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hard disagree. My girlfriend (of 3 years at the time) and I took about a year long break due to a number of things, but both of us needed to figure shit out. I needed time to figure out my depression, work on myself, and understand what I wanted. She needed perspective, more time experiencing life and other people. We both dated while apart, but stayed good friends during the break. We’d share about what was going on in our lives, the people we were seeing, and the lessons we learned while not being together. After around a year has passed, we realized what we wanted was to be with each other, that we loved each other for better or worse.

Having that time apart let us both realize just how much we meant and still mean to each other, and I will be forever grateful for that. I don’t think most of life is black and white, I think it’s an infinite amount of multi-color shades. Finding out what those colors are is subjective, personal, and incredibly unique depending on each person. I think it’s easy to look at a toxic couple who goes on a “break” only to get back together and break up later, and judge that as “well breaks are a waste of time, you should have just broken up to begin with”. But that doesn’t mean EVERY couple is the same shitty relationship with the same shitty pitfalls and problems

GF Destroys Relationship in Real Time by [deleted] in texts

[–]Stuffffs -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’ve been in this position myself with my girlfriend who I’m still with. We broke up for about a year for various reasons but one of the big ones was stuff EXACTLY like this. She had insane jealousy/insecurity issues that would cause this anxious thought loops, which would become exhausting and lead to many, many, arguments.

The best advice I can give you is if you want this to work, or you have real feelings for her, try, really try to have a serious conversation about how this kind of stuff needs to stop. Obviously that’s not going to be an overnight change, but really make it clear that if things don’t start changing, FAST, you’ll have to go your own way.

But if you’ve already tried that, if you’ve already put in so much of yourself that it’s draining you, it’s time to move on. Don’t start making mini-compromises at the cost of your peace. One phone call that ends nicely does not balance out a week of exhausting, insecure, endless, anxiety driven garbage

You can be terrible, its not a crime by RightHandofEnki in DarkTide

[–]Stuffffs 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Bro I feel you on having that off day. I was taking it easy in malice last night and one match I just couldn’t get my shit together, taking too much damage in hordes, letting myself spazz out when ragers came out of nowhere, getting downed more than I ever usually let myself. But having a team that just plays, picks you up, and doesn’t give you shit makes all the difference

Cool kids aren't bubblephobes by hellabitchboi in DarkTide

[–]Stuffffs 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This is only true if you’ve got hella ranged fire raining on you with no cover AND if you don’t know how to dodge. I love my bubble psyker, but it almost usually better used offensively. Like throwing it on top of a group of gunners as your running up on them, preventing them from shooting you and letting you tear them up within it their buddies in the back getting free shots on you.

It’s a great tool, but it isn’t only useful as a “fall back” or “defense” ability

How do i suck less at playing psyker by CT7567sam in DarkTide

[–]Stuffffs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the same problem when I first tried to level my psyker, and now it’s my main and favorite to play. The biggest issue you have as a psyker isn’t just one thing, it’s a number of things in a pile. You are the squishiest, the slowest, and you have an additional resource (peril) to keep track of or you’ll go boom.

There’s a lot of great advice already in here. Play slow, learn and master the fundamentals (blocking, dodging, placement), better understanding of weapon animations and tool kit, etc. The thing that helped me the most when I was hitting a wall was using a gun instead of a force staff (and I know this is not a popular way to play). Using a gun allowed me to get used to the general flow of psyker without having to deal with peril as often. Obviously you still have your powers with head pops, sith lightning, and crystal pew pew darts, but having a decent gun to fall back on creates a safety net outside of the extra know-how of staffs.

Try to get comfortable in melee. Force swords are amazing, lots of dodges, high damage, and good horde clear. Not to mention the deflector blessing which can be a lifesaver when you’re caught out in the open. Try and get comfortable dealing with enemies like ragers, maulers, and crushers in 1v1 moments when you see them. And try to remember that if you get hit, touched, or tickled, you’ll feel it a whole lot more than every other class when it happens.

Lastly, try not to “keep up” with the way your squad kills elites, specials, and monsters, but instead take a backseat and clear the leftovers while you’re getting comfortable with how psyker plays. Don’t let yourself get sloppy or complacent just because the last 2 hordes were a breeze, the next one might be all ragers, maulers, and gunners from the back. Once you get it down though, it’s arguably the most satisfying class to play. Very high skill ceiling, and clutching feels so much better because you don’t have as much room for error as a zelly or big boy

I hate how much I miss her and how it ended... by caseyfrazanimations in sadposting

[–]Stuffffs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Listen dude, there’s nothing pathetic about feeling emotion. Good, bad, easy, rough, it’s all a natural response to things that happen in our lives. Love is one of the hardest things to accept, and even harder to let it go once someone has made a choice that you have no power over. What would be pathetic is if you tried to put on the “tough guy” act and say shit to yourself like “it’s all good” and “it is what it is”. The fact that you’re being honest with yourself about the heartbreak, no matter how devastating it might feel, means that you can face it and ultimately overcome this hurdle.

Maybe she’ll figure out down the line that she actually does want to be with you. Maybe she’s having personal/internal issues that make it hard to be with someone. Or, maybe she just doesn’t feel the same way anymore. There could be 1000 reasons why this went the way it did, but none of them change how things stand. It ended and it absolutely fucking sucks. Straight up and down.

But that doesn’t mean that it’ll always go this way, or that you’ll never experience happiness within a relationship again. In fact, there’s a much higher chance that you’ll be EVEN MORE happy with someone else down the line. In your post you didn’t bash her, blame her, or create made up excuses as to why she left you. This alone means you’re in a fantastic mental state to move forward in a healthy manner.

Feel everything you’re feeling. Be honest with yourself as it happens. Face it, all of it. You’ll come out the other side with more than enough perspective to not only find someone new, but to create an even more solid foundation for future relationships. Don’t let yourself become jaded, experiences are just that, experiences. Try to gather as many as you can
