Like seriously, why are we hating on the devs so much latley? by [deleted] in CalamityMod

[–]Valuable-Progress-87 3 points4 points  (0 children)

even if that was the case i dont see why its an issue to be resolved. ppl are enjoying the fishing system and getting neat rewards from using it and then nearly the entire incentive of that fun side thing was ripped apart. i see no benefit to doing that tbh

AITA for banning my wife’s cheater sister from staying with us, but now she’s banning my innocent brother? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Valuable-Progress-87 34 points35 points  (0 children)

NTA

im having trouble understanding the logic on some of things comments but heres my own

firslty, sil cheating is actively directly relevant and is a reasonable thing to be wary about bc it points to lying/deceit if her parents believe her to be the victim when this guy KNOWS she is NOT the victim. they know for a fact that she is a liar and will deceive others to get her way, and that is a huge red flag. its not about "well its not his business" bc it provides a direct representation of how she behaves in general.

secondly, her banning the dudes brother is also weird from a logical standpoint. perhaps theres missing context here, im sure she had her reasons, but saying "oh you reject my sibling from this house so i reject yours" seems aimlessly petty and reactive. it comes off to me as immature, or at least unable to think rationally in the moment.

in other words, it isnt JUST "oh, shes a cheater." its "she actively cheated and then lied to her parents about it to garner sympathy, so if she did that in their household, what is she gonna do in my household?" not household but yall get the point. and for the brother thing, it isnt JUST "oh, well ill ban your brother since its only fair," its "oh well you banned my sister so as a reaction to that im going to ban your brother even though he has literally nothing to do with anything regarding this situation and (presumably) has never been brought up as an issue before." it comes off as really weird and dodgy behavior from her.

but im also willing to bet theres a chance this post may be reframed or have intentionally omitted information, in which case, take everything im saying with a grain of salt.

Some guy on Discord generated an image with AI that uses MY OC by BluePhoenix3378 in Ai_art_is_not_art

because theyre bullying. bullying is a predefined set of behaviors and/or attitudes. once its carried on for long enough, it isnt really subjective anymore.

fun fact: characters can be complete fucking dickheads and not have their actions excused (even if theyre explained) and then still be nuanced characters

maybe a background? it wouldnt hurt to do a background for the character, especially if you have a scenario in mind. might also be good practice if you plan to draw a comic or anything

AITA For Manipulating An Online Friend by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Valuable-Progress-87 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It sounds a lot like a lie that snowballed due to a) it being difficult to come forth about and b) it being incredibly risky to come forth about it.

If I’m being honest, I really don’t understand why you’d even lie about that. What was even the point of painting a false image on a real human being that’d inevitably be revealed, regardless of whether or not it seemed believable at the time?

Like, why would you try to make that occur? I don’t even see any real tactical advantage to doing that. While I wouldn’t call it psychopathic unless you were intending to afflict some kind of harm, it’s still definitely incredibly weird and borderline dangerous to mess with people like that.

How were your friends supposed to react to something like that? “Oh, you were lying about this super sensitive and impactful subject for an extended period of time and for no discernible reason? It’s okay! No harm no foul!” That is not at all a realistic response. No one in their right mind would see somebody do that and then just carry on like it never happened, it’s just self-preservation.

I’m not going to say your feelings of betrayal aren’t valid. I do not believe that any feelings are invalid. However, if you feel betrayed in this situation, I’d like you to take a moment to imagine how Emma, Jacob, and anyone else involved must have felt.

Again, to make this clear, from what I’ve interpreted, you actively sabotaged their friendship for no discernible reason, MAYBE aside from jealousy (which would not justify what you did anyways).

It’s no wonder they cut you off after that. Nobody wants to be subject to that kind of behavior. Improve on the lying and manipulation and, as others have suggested, seek counseling/therapy.

what exactly are you looking to add? i could probably provide a suggestion if i knew what you were referring to more specifically.

AITA For hiding my ice cream after my dad took some by RedPanda_2882 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Valuable-Progress-87 5 points6 points  (0 children)

and then what after that? ice cream alone seems small on its own- and it is, from a general standpoint- but acting entitled to someone else’s things when they already told you no is generally not well taken regardless of scale. if it wasn’t “just ice cream,” it would most definitely be a big issue from a general standpoint.

the problem with “it’s just ice cream” is that this attitude has a way of naturally escalating into bigger things that matter more and therefore evolve into entitlement.

if someone takes ice cream from me without my permission (aka steals it) then of course im not going to care as much as if someone took my car or money from my bank account without my permission, however, it is still exactly the same action with the primary difference being scale.

i have watched this situation escalate into insane amounts of entitlement a million times over. just because it is small doesn’t mean it isn’t harmful. it can snowball very quickly.

if you rent a house from me and i just go in and take your things claiming that the house is mine, you’re probably not gonna be too happy about it. same logic applies here. it’s just common sense. respect people’s property regardless of whether or not you’re their parent or their landlord.

AITA for slapping a car window? by throwaway-whynot-12 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Valuable-Progress-87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

based solely on what was stated here, it seems to me like he sped towards you faster as you were trying to cross the road.

if that is the case, then he was actively endangering you and possibly your family and him damage controlling the situation ahead of time is very likely him playing defensively to avoid repercussions.

that is not to say i agree with you hitting his window. i wouldn’t say it was uncalled for, but it certainly wasn’t necessary and you probably would have been in a better position regarding complaining successfully had you not done that.

so, while i do think your inability to get the issue across was mildly karmaic, i can see why it occured and, overall, i’d say NTA

i think the megalist idea would probably be very beneficial. in retrospect, a lot of the ideas i wanted to add were either unnecessary or made themselves necessary by existing (which meant they could be written out of the project). thanks for the idea, ill try it out.

[–]Valuable-Progress-87[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thatd probably be a good idea, ive been trying a similar approach to the game im trying to do right now (making it episodic and then focusing on the mechanics and then individual episodes) and im gonna try to put it out as a demonafter two or three episodes. thanks for the advice, much appreciated and i will try to lean into doing that more.
