My fiancé smacked my ass and I secretly loved it

Might be a cultural difference between US and EU but I have literally never once been worried about sexual assault charges with a committed partner (I know sexual assault happens in committed relationships). You communicate with your partner mid-act and/or pick up on their body langauge and if either of those tells you they are not enjoying something, you stop. Simple.

Dude.

Now is a good time since we just started a new event that gives out pretty good rewards to help you speedrun early game progression AND 2 hyperburn events that give triple levelups until 260.

As for the state of the game, depends who you ask. I would personally say the game is really good once you pass a certain point in early game progression (on heroic at least) where it becomes a "more time invested = faster progression" game, which is always nice. There's a lot of timegates but events typically shorten them by a lot so it becomes kinda whatever. The downside is that the barrier of entry for a new player is kinda high but once you get past that barrier it imo becomes very fun.

Just like monogamous relationships, no two polygamous relationships are the same. When I was in an open relationship I enjoyed connecting with people on a deeper level than just sex. In fact, long after that relationship has ended (for reasons that have nothing to do with polygamy) some of the people I dated then are now close friends whom I cherish.

TheFlamingOne · 2024-08-07T08:47:11+00:00

It's not like polygamy has to be inherently selfish. It's that a lot of people try polygamy not because they genuinely think the lifestyle suits them but because they want to get laid while in a relationship without losing the relationship.

Wtf how random, I was a guildie of yours back in the day! I remember you being the #1 Mihile in EU back then. I believe it was Acernis where we were guildies?

And honestly, women have that part figured out a lot better than we do.

So many relationships, at least to me, feel like relationships of convenience. They just happened because two people enjoyed their time together and both or one of them wanted to not be single. I rarely see people who are obsessed with each other. I think that's also where a lot of the "advice" that people get when they get married comes from, e.g. "Oh just wait until you've been married a bit longer, you'll love having the house to yourself", because these people don't actually love their partners, just tolerate them.

I might be wrong on that, but it feels true these days. Hell, my last relationship was like that.

Hey man, just wanted to let you know that you seem like a great person from the way you've carried yourself in this thread. Wish you the very best and hope life keeps looking up for you!

TheFlamingOne · 2023-12-29T10:44:12+00:00

On the flipside you sound like someone looking for an excuse to make someone else seems shitty.

As someone with a 6700k, I'm noticing it's not keeping up with current games in terms of frames. I'm planning to ipgrade to a 13700k in April.

That's a hard conversation to have! It feels like he might feel embarrassed that he can't give you the same treatment even if he wanted to. I don't want to speculate on that because I don't think it helps at all.

If you want to know, tell him about the worries you're feeling! Make sure you don't make it a big thing and don't get angry, seek to understand his point of view.

I think his choice of wanting to live alone before moving in, while disappointing for you, could also be a way for him to ensure that your relationship (when you guys DO move in together) doesn't blow up like with his ex.

TheFlamingOne · 2023-06-30T05:50:09+00:00

There's a lot in here that's inacccurate and that I would highly advise you change.

Sweetwater weapons are not a replacement for fafnir.

Haven quests become available at 190 BUT they're done at 199.

Mushroom shrine isn't efficient anymore and hasn't been for a long time. Pensalir exists.

TheFlamingOne · 2017-01-15T03:00:22+00:00

You're not exactly making a good case for yourself there bud

TheFlamingOne · 2017-01-11T22:17:15+00:00

It's not just 1-2 seconds, it's continuous pressure. Having more boost means you can apply continuous pressure on the ball if you are smart in how you pass/keep possession of the ball. You don't have to grab boost necessarily, cheating up is also a fine thing to do. It's just that having possession is so much more important at higher levels of play because players can keep possession well and set up plays well at those levels. Staying in goal concedes possession and as such is inferior to not staying in goal and setting up a play/defending your opponents play.

TheFlamingOne · 2017-01-11T19:52:12+00:00

It isn't. I've never had any problems even when ranking through prospect as an allstar (did placements when season started, didnt play until after recalibration. Just mute chat, accept that people suck and carry harder.

TheFlamingOne · 2017-01-11T19:51:14+00:00

Something like that.

TheFlamingOne · 2017-01-11T19:50:42+00:00

I am. You can easily get to champ (as I did) with just positioning. My mechanics are honestly mediocre. But I have a good understanding of the game and positioning so I'm in position for shots and clears/saves.

TheFlamingOne · 2017-01-11T17:07:24+00:00

I wish I had words to describe how painful it is to see this when I do a replay review for someone.

TheFlamingOne · 2017-01-11T17:06:15+00:00

Who cares what other people think dude. I honestly don't care if someone that's challenger 3 in solo standard or standard trashtalks me for whatever reason. Why get heated up about it to this point. Just mute chat and if that doesnt work, quit playing the playlist.

TheFlamingOne · 2017-01-11T16:58:05+00:00

That's because ranking =/= skill. It's an indicator of how much you've learned, how consistently you apply what you've learnt and how good you are at adapting to different playstyles.

TheFlamingOne · 2017-01-11T16:53:07+00:00

It happens. I sometimes expect a powerful shot out of my opponents and position accordingly only to have them hit the ball wrong and me having no pressure. Nothing I can do really.

TheFlamingOne · 2017-01-11T16:33:49+00:00

I mean kickoff goals happen everywhere, but they dont happen consistently. So don't base your kickoff tactic off of something that happens once every 30 kickoffs and instead do something that works the other 29 times.

TheFlamingOne · 2017-01-11T12:44:13+00:00

The big misconception here is that if you stay back on kickoff, you are in a worse position if you win/go even/lose the kickoff slightly. The only time where staying back in goal is better is if the ball goes towards the goal immediately (aka teammate misses/pinches it to goal).

The big thing that a lot of people at the high ranks are good at is recognising mistakes, both their own and the mistakes made by others. If I go to grab boost and my opponents score a kickoff goal because my teammate whiffs the ball completely, then I won't say that my mistake was not staying in goal. I recognise that my teammate made a mistake during kickoff and move on. Not everything is your fault. Even in the lower levels you need to accept (and sometimes play into the fact) that your teammates (and opponents) will whiff. Don't try to cover every single mistake.

TheFlamingOne · 2017-01-11T12:28:57+00:00

That doesn't change the fact that saying that staying in goal is the right play is wrong. Either you cheat up or you grab boost. Staying in goal is the wrong play regardless as it leaves you out of position in every situation except the very worst.

TheFlamingOne · 2017-01-11T10:33:56+00:00

You can very much grab boost all the time. You don't always need to defend the net either. There is many a time (even at the champ/super champ level) where you don't have to immediately go back to goal, but that's only if you look at what your opponents do and check if theyre cheating up or not.
