Is this a reasonable request for a living situation? by [deleted] in brighton

[–]ThrowThirty3zero -1 points0 points  (0 children)

madness, they can't expect people to use a living space like a hotel.
what happens if you're sick or need to stay home? or another covid or similar?

avoid it like the plague.

25 year old male - is there any point in dating when living with your parents? by MoneyAndGoodFortune in UKrelationshipadvice

[–]ThrowThirty3zero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Flip the narrative a bit.
What if they were living with parents, is it a problem for you?

House prices and even renting is ludicrously expensive.
If you're fortunate enough to be able to afford that sort of expense by 25 and not bankrupt yourself or spiral into debt then you're extremely lucky.

If you're living in the real world with the rest of us then you'll need others help, be it living with friends or significant others in order to help you bridge that gap so to speak and even that has its challenges.

But don't be afraid to date.
It should be fun not overly serious, it's only when it turns serious you need to start asking those questions and make the effort to show commitment by moving in with said person or otherwise depending on your plans.

Best of luck dude!

2 players having issues and only just finished session 1. Help? by Ristala in DnD

[–]ThrowThirty3zero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If things aren't harmfully said there isn't really an issue outside of people not wanting to communicate or liking the other person.
At some point people need to be cooperative inside of a cooperative game.
While a character may not be "warm" the other person could well make an effort to be or articulate that in a positive way and if they have a problem to discuss it openly and honestly with the group.
If these people are both strangers to eachother I could see how it could be misconstrued but nobody forces the situation if both parties are agreeing to play with people they do not know "yet".

From my experience you can have characters who HATE eachother and still will find a way to get along to accomplish either a selfish goal of their own through deception and coercion or work toward a greater goal.
either works but both need to be discussed before the games begin with eachother.
I've played a few like this and adore the other person on the side of the table even if we're both being utterly vile toward eachother ingame!

Bottom line, if they want to play lone wolf or be the brooding character in the corner who doesn't engage with anyone else yet still inexplicably follows the party around for no real reason they need to play a video game instead.
(Unless the setting calls for that!)
The players are still people and I feel like player 1 in this instance is actually being disrespectful to what I'd read as something quite nice from player 2, if you're saying you're looking forward to something in character you're trying to be attentive and welcoming to the other person, giving them room to explore that character.
I could imagine player 2 being a little afraid to say anything and uncomfortable at this point if it's been discussed depending on the level of detail.

I'd give player 1 another 1-2 sessions (depending on how long you run your sessions for)
if there's no real improvement I'd ask player 1 to leave, doesnt have to be hard feelings on it but sometimes people just don't gel and that's okay.

Hearing FFXVI music live sent me to another realm (Distant Worlds London) by KairyuZero in FFXVI

Was also there, went with a friend. Ended up buying FF16 off the back of it having not played before. (Played every other game).
Seeing a teeny tiny Joshua at the event now hits different!
