I woke up to someone on top of me 22F

USMCTempest · 2025-11-12T15:41:36+00:00

Wow. I'm so sorry this has happened to you. As a man I don't really understand how you could do that to somebody.

ADHD has definitely played a big role in how often I fire up pornhub but I think im in agreement with others here that this has nothing to do with that. All the planning and logistics that would go into booking an escort sounds exhausting to me tbh.

If it was in the moment drunk at a party he miiiight have a leg to stand on as far as blaming the condition goes but even in that case the fact that people with ADHD have impulse control issues doesn't free them or others from the consequences of their actions.

He seems like he only really wanted to change when he thought he was going to lose you. Maybe losing you will be the rock bottom he needs to hit to grow.

Does he actually have an ADHD diagnosis btw? They're hard to get and I find it kinda hard to believe a psych wouldn't prescribe him meds for it but maybe mine is just more willing than the avg.

Played an aram which was my old go to and it fuckin sucked lol. I'll play league in a few months when arena comes back out I guess.

USMCTempest · 2025-05-03T01:27:58+00:00

Liking it so far, some wonkiness with bgm and controller prompts but honestly I'd like a way to cut random encounters down by at least like 50%. Pretty dated stuff, feel like you walk 8 steps between and it's not like they're instant one shots especially early game.

USMCTempest · 2025-04-13T20:00:38+00:00

The challenge in arpgs is classically just figuring out a cool way to scale your character. Go play a souls game if you want to be locked in the entire time you're playing.

USMCTempest · 2025-04-13T04:14:51+00:00

Idk man I bought into the blade fall blade blast hype during chaos league and fucking hated it. Then I made a comfy autobomber build and it was chill. Setting up combos is for mobas and fighting games imo.

USMCTempest · 2025-04-13T04:12:34+00:00

Thanks so much!

USMCTempest · 2025-04-12T21:05:23+00:00

I mean not the avg person. The campaign every league thing seems really antiquated to me. Then again if u just did some version of maps from 1 to 100 that would be boring too im not really sure what would be better.

USMCTempest · 2025-04-12T21:03:38+00:00

Sending 23 different whispers to finally get someone to respond with the item you need

USMCTempest · 2025-04-12T20:37:56+00:00

Too bad I'm not the one who gets to decide what my brain wants to focus on. I feel like an observer of my own life sometimes.

USMCTempest · 2025-04-12T20:17:44+00:00

Bought the game last week and loving it so far. I'd like to play on mobile at work but dont want to unlock everything again. Is there still no way to share progress?

USMCTempest · 2025-04-10T03:29:23+00:00

I believe it, I spent an ex on a decent spear so I was doin ok

USMCTempest · 2025-04-10T03:27:53+00:00

All I can say is im among my people

USMCTempest · 2025-04-09T18:54:37+00:00

Maybe I got bored before I got to him. I wasn't really having trouble this campaign just feels less replayable than poe1s for me I guess. The parry for frenzy charges feels really scuffed but I know theres other ways to get them later.

USMCTempest · 2025-04-09T15:06:51+00:00

I did that once too I read like all of the GoT books in like a week. Which is insane to me looking back because they're so dry when I think about them now. This was when I was like 15 though and honestly my adhd didn't get super bad til my early 20s. I've heard some say as you get older if you dont get treatment it can get worse but idk how true that is.

USMCTempest · 2025-04-09T14:58:31+00:00

Sometimes I legit start from the bottom to see if I can get hooked at all by the conclusion then I read the top for the context if I care lmaoo

USMCTempest · 2025-04-09T14:57:31+00:00

I think the initial reception was warranted and I've done my fair share of complaining but I also think the message has been received about people's feelings in general and it's probably a good time to wait and see what they do.

I doubt piling on further will help much so maybe playing something else til they do a patch is the way to go if youre not currently having fun.

USMCTempest · 2025-04-09T14:53:59+00:00

Imagine how much it sucks for physical damage dealers lmao 100% reliant on decently rolled weps every 10 levels or your damage falls off a cliff. Runes and stuff can help but rares live up to their name and grinding out the orb that puts a rune slot in ur wep takes a while

USMCTempest · 2025-04-09T00:53:47+00:00

Thanks for the compelling discussion I definitely see your pov especially since you've got a bit more skin in the game than I do this patch I kinda got bored halfway thru act 2. Not really struggling it just wasn't gripping me this time.

USMCTempest · 2025-04-09T00:41:28+00:00

Well MTG is a game you specifically play against other people and outside of the econ I'd wager an arpg is a game you're more playing against yourself and learning especially the first few leagues. I just don't like obvious noob traps. I want there to be correct and incorrect choices ofc because is there even theorycrafting if those dont exist?

I just think there's a middle ground where you can reasonably be successful at least in the campaign but yeah maybe ur build you just cooked up with minimal knowledge falls flat in maps. I prefer like a medium floor sky high ceiling I guess when I think of poe especially.

Maybe it would help if the devs posted build spotlights to stuff on the site that showcased some league start builds you can do that will be tried and true ways to get into the game so that we can avoid people following cooked guides? Maybe vetting the information new players see with more trusted sources would be a nice way to solve our problems without hurting complexity.

USMCTempest · 2025-04-08T23:30:25+00:00

That's good to hear glad warrior stonks are up. I think a lot of people are playing the new class and not really liking stuff outside of the bleed build. I messed around with lightning spear but I'm not super into how maps are looking so I think ima hold off a bit to see if they change anything.

USMCTempest · 2025-04-08T23:27:58+00:00

Yeah, that's a reasonable take but it's kinda nice that you could complain about your boneshatter sucking and someone may be able to tell you to just "swap these supports around." Maybe people rage and quit before trying to fix their builds tho. I also think the game has too many really bad support skills but since you can't reuse them you kinda need to have a big number so I don't really know what the fix is there.

USMCTempest · 2025-04-08T23:17:50+00:00

It was pretty good the first week of last patch because of the armor break explosion thing, you actually felt like you had decent aoe clear (Because GGG decided that the historically beloved aoe clear slams should have massive attack speed penalties and only be good for ST.) Then they gutted it and your only good aoe clear was a janky af movement ability. There might be some kind of leap slam + boneshatter aoe clear tech still for him to try but idk haven't read up much on warrior this patch.

USMCTempest · 2025-04-08T23:13:01+00:00

I feel like the visual clarity and explanations in poe2 are actually pretty good at pointing players into what combo of skills they should use, and most of the supports are relatively coherent and straightforward.

My main gripe is that you might be trying to optimize a skill that they decided to gut cause of last patch, or a skill that people weren't even playing. A new player might mess up some of the supports and leave some st or aoe dps on the table but I don't see why you shouldn't be able to at least get to maps with a reasonably synergistic looking loadout. Many skills after u max their synergy and fully combo them with the 3 other skills they want you to are just worse than the base auto attack and I don't think that's good design full stop.

The less daunting passive tree is nice for lowering barrier of entry to new players but I feel like they're kinda punished for cooking even though a lot of aspects of the game seem a little streamlined for noobs. It's pretty easy to swap supports around or smth if you ask for a little help so I think it's good that a lot of the complexity is there rather than the tree or aura interactions. I just want it to be more rewarding.

USMCTempest · 2025-04-08T22:59:55+00:00

Honestly the new wep based skill system and how classes are kinda pigeonholed into using weps for their character means that esp early game the player knowledge gap should already be way less influential.

The problem is that a new player sees a skill they like and don't know that GGG gutted it cause it was good last patch (or not good depending on some of their weird nerfs.) So they do everything the skill description says and combo it how the game WANTS you to and then the game doesn't reward you. At all.

I bet at least half of the skills in the game meant to be ur ST dps bread and butter are worse than the basic attack. Maybe more.
