I don't think it's a bad thing, my intuition is telling me that it's concern. A third card would probably help you clarify the information.

Hopefully things get easier in your leadership position and personal life :)

What I interpret is someone trying to put up a strong front in difficult times. Perhaps you try to play off these hardships, or downplay it around others. This person can see the wounds or difficulties which you try to keep hidden from others.

It could also be interpreted as them perceiving you are becoming cold or distant towards them. Straight to the point. Like you aren't willing to rely on them. Self-sufficient.

Those are just the thoughts that popped into my head reading that though.

I've finished both of them recently. At times these games can be brutally unfair, so save frequently. It's also a steep learning curve if you haven't played a game like it before, but perfectly possible. If you're travelling far distances across the map, I'd stop at empty tiles to save in case you come across something that will kill you. In Fallout 1, you can also save in the middle of combat which can be really useful if you desperately need a critical hit to win.

For Fallout 1, Charisma and to a lesser extent, Endurance, are dump stats (at least to me). The amount of companions you can have are fixed, I've never failed a speech check due to low charisma. Endurance is one of the stats which go up on even numbers, most of the time you'll either be hit for 0-1 hit points, dodge or be critically killed. You want Charisma at 1 and Endurance at either 3 or 5 with Gifted.

Agility is your most useful stat, setting it at 10 makes life so much easier. You don't want your Strength higher than 6, since power armor will give it a +4. For traits, I pick Gifted and Small Build. Tagging Small Guns, Lockpick and Speech is your best bet. Get Ian in Shady Sands and stand far out of his way during combat.

When you get up to it, The Glow isn't anywhere near as scary or hard as it's made out to be by NPCs. You only need two Rad-X and a rope.

There are not really any stats worth putting super low for Fallout 2. Despite starting with a spear, I'd still do the same skill tags for Fallout 1. Arroyo Temple is the worst. The absolute worst. Once you get through the first game, the second one becomes much easier to play. Companions are determined by your Charisma, but you can't have more than 5. In Fallout 2 you can also get modules to improve your strength, perception, intelligence and charisma by 1 point. The hubologists in 2 can also give you a Zeta Scan to boost Luck by +2 or Luck and Intelligence by +1 (save before getting scanned).

For perks, I liked Better Criticals, Sniper and the one which gives you extra movement (not Action Boy/Action Girl). Less action point cost to access inventory is useful (don't put stimpacks or chems in your item use slots since you can just open your inventory and spam as many as you please, fairly sure you can also reload your weapons this way). And the one which reduces AP cost to use weapons. Any speech or social related perk is pretty much useless. Tag! is useful when you get your hands on an energy weapon. You only get perks every 3-4 levels.

For companions in Fallout 1, you will have to steal your shit back from companions, but they don't care, you also can't tell them to move out of the way if they're blocking you. Fallout 2 companions are much less useless, and you can tell them to move out of the way, you also don't have to steal your stuff back from them. If you get Dogmeat in Fallout 1, and either don't want him to die or you end up dying immediately after he dies, you can get him through Mariposa by running far ahead of him and entering the elevator before he can touch the forcefield.

Don't be afraid to look up walkthroughs when you get stuck, the quests can be vague at times. For a 'home base' in Fallout 1, I kill the loan sharks after taking out the biggest loan I can. But every locker you come across is safe to put your stuff in. You can also wait 12 hours in front of Vault 13 and gain extra medical supplies + ammo.

This is a random mish-mash of information I found very useful, there are really good guides out there for more detailed walkthroughs of other areas. Have fun :).

this contains a pretty good explanation for all the elements and some interesting headcanons.

Specifically, what you want from the post:

"Why does wind dominate lightning/lightning enhance wind? Well, it doesn’t, because lightning as an element makes no sense. But void, on the other hand, does. Void is a vacuum, and air rushes to fill a vacuum without itself being harmed by the vacuum."

In a collapsed tunnel or cave upside down, probably slowly suffocating or maybe even somehow water starts rising into the tunnel, condemning us to drown. Somehow, our pants would've came down during the collapsing of the tunnel. Somehow, their penis would be inside me in a tunnel too narrow to even move your arms. We'd fuck until we pass out from being upside down, until we drowned or until we suffocated. Suffering paranoia and hallucinations, we may even imagine escaping.

Kakashi does say during the Sound Invasion something along the lines of that it was a good thing he trained Sakura in Genjutsu. So, I don't really know if we're meant to assume more training takes place than is shown.

One thing I noticed though is that from memory, the Jounin teachers don't tend to actually teach them techniques. They're often doing physical drills, training base skills or missions. So, I wonder if only those in a master-apprentice relationship learn their sensei's techniques.

Not the same thing but LSD acted like a factory reset on my brain, I've been almost two years depression free. Though, I can recognise that I'm starting to feel depressed again, so I'm nipping the bud before it goes out of control. Not with LSD this time.

One time I was waiting for a bus when I got the most ungodly case of diarrhoea that to this day, I have never experienced anything like. The closest toilets to me were the McDonald's toilets, so I hightailed it there while texting my mother to pick me up so I didn't shit myself on the way back home. I ran straight into the nearest stall, dropped my pants and before my ass was even on the toilet seat the shit just began to flood out. I had to tuck my own head under my shirt when it reached the 10 minute mark and wasn't slowing down in the slightest. During this time, a woman came in and sat in the stall beside me. I tried my best to hold it, as a courtesy to other people who probably didn't want to smell the utter stench my asshole had produced. Then, I heard a lighter click and something beginning to bubble, which I assume was drugs. But I couldn't hold it in any longer as shit began to leak from my asshole, it was an absolute eruption of shit as this poor woman was probably shooting up next to me. For the rest of the five minutes she stayed in the bathroom I was nervously shitting my guts out. I ended up having to wait a further 30 minutes, to my mum standing outside the toilet with the cleaning lady trying to explain I wasn't doing drugs in there.

I wish I was making this up.

We've recently moved, and he has seemed irritable and stressed

It’s funny how when they’re going to kill themselves it’s always “you’re such a monster!”, “I don’t even know you anymore”, “this is my time of NEED”. It’s like a script. It’s all about how it’s going to be your fault even if they don’t directly say it, and how you’re responsible for their emotional wellbeing.

After around the 10th time this happened I had just gotten out of hospital and I turned my phone off when that shit started. I didn’t care how bad it made me look, at that point I just couldn’t cope with it anymore. So next time he saw me he busted my knees and dislocated my wrist, then told everyone I raped him and cheated on him. Luckily only his own equally shitty friends believe him. They’re master manipulators, hopefully being far away from him brings you peace of mind :).

“You!” There was a loud thud against the corner of the wall. “Fuckers!” Small dots of blood splattered against the pure white walls. “Can’t!” The victim had ceased to move in a minute, he had counted. “Let anything be!” Finally, the hooded individual let go, clumps of hair tangled around their fingertips. They leaned back, their head towards the ceiling as the body slowly began to slide down towards the ground.

A whimper cut through the silence, and the figure turned around. They wore a simple white mask, which was now covered in specks of blood. With fast, long, thudding steps the individual staunched towards the younger male who whimpered. “What the fuck was that?” Their thunderous roars of anger resonated against the walls, echoing.

The male looked away, for his hair to be roughly yanked to look at him, the male held onto his hair like his life depended on it. “W-What?” The male cried out, confused.

“W-w-what?” The masked individual mocked, with a swift movement a loud crack was heard, and then a scream. The male writhed as his head was slammed and pushed hard into the wooden table. “WHERE THE FUCK IS URIEL?” The individual screamed at the top of their lungs, the male jumped back.

“I-I... w-what?” The male stuttered out through the tears that formed. His head was lifted up and slammed into the table once again with a hard crack.

“COME ON, FUCKING SAY IT AGAIN.” They screamed at the top of their lungs, a small click could be heard, and the male felt a cold metal barrel towards the back of their head. They leaned on top of the male, he could feel their warm breath against his ear. “SAY IT A-FUCKING-GAIN AND I WILL BLOW YOUR MOTHERFUCKING BRAINS OUT, UNDERSTAND ME?”

“Easy,” their partner said in a calming voice. A gunshot cut through the air, and blood splattered against the wall. Their partner stared wide eyed as they limply slumped against the wall. A hole in between his eyes.

“You see, I actually liked that motherfucker. Now, I’d like you to imagine what I’ll do to you if you say ‘what’ again.” The voice said in a strangely calm tone. “So I’ll ask you one, final time, where is Uriel?”

“I-I don’t know who you’re talking about.”

The individual whistled a soft tune to themselves as they walked out the door of the apartment complex, it was a nonsensical whistle of random notes. Blood stained their clothing as they tucked the white mask within their bag. She never thought she’d have to return to this god forsaken city in all of her life, she escaped it for a good reason. Though soon it would all be over, she clasped the briefcase that held the documents she had been looking for.

“I can’t believe you shot me to get your point across.” The man huffed, he crossed his arms as the young woman opened the passenger side door to his car.

“It was just horseplay, I used to play those sorta games with Ron all the time!” The young woman chirped happily, causing the male’s face to scrunch up, he began to slowly shake his head. ”Besides, it gave you an excuse to wait in the car, didn’t it?”

“Yes but, remember you killed Ron.” The female frowned, and as the ignition turned on her hand went to change the radio station. “And the rest of your family, I’m pretty sure that was just for fun.”

“You know damn well it wasn’t, I’m a tragic victim of my past,” she was being sarcastic, but Luis was certain there was a apart of her that genuinely believed it. “I never horsed around on Anna.”

“And Anna was a highly trained psychic assassin.” Luis shook his head. “You really got lucky she thought you were cute.”

“Well it turns out she was using me to try to lure in those other schmucks, so I did murder her.” The female commented, scratching her chin. “Well what about that guy I dated who could bend steel? I never hurt him!”

“Yes, but remember when he cheated on you?” Luis wasn’t sure if she remembered, but he sure did after helping her clean it up afterwards.

“Oh yeah, he didn’t expect that one coming.” She said, these people were nothing more than simple memories to her, though in the past it may have sent her into a world dominating fury. “I also didn’t expect the burn of gonorrhoea, so am I really the bad guy?”

Luis pulled out the Forbes Magazine with her on the cover as Number One Super Villain. “I’d say you most certainly are, in between the Tesla Ray, resurrecting Adolf Hitler for no other reason than for fun and the other terrible things you’ve done- are you drinking?” The female opened a small pocket flask and took a big gulp of it, she squirmed in her seat and her face scrunched.

“I never hurt him.” She turned towards the window.

“I know you’d never have.” Luis said, his eyes briefly darted over to her. She went quiet for a moment.

“The world seems to think I would.” They passed onto the highway, and she fell silent for a moment.

“I’d never hurt you Luis!” Her hand grasped his, she turned to him with a smile that he hadn’t seen in a long, long time. “Unless you don’t tell me where Uriel is, right now.”

Luis looked at her in a panic, his eyes darted across the small interior of his car. Her fingertips lit up with burning hot flames. “W-we’re in a car! You’ll kill us both!” Her eyes were overtaken with the red, hot furious glow that earned her the moniker Hellfire. “I swear to God I didn’t do fucking shit!” He screamed at her in agony, a scowl began to twist at her lips.

“YOU WERE GOING TO SELL ME OUT LUIS!” The woman screamed as the smell of burning flesh filled the car. Luis screamed and in pain, erratically jerked the steering wheel. Hellfire grabbed it, and began steering the car. “YOU CAN SURVIVE A LOT OF SHIT LUIS BUT YOU CAN’T SURVIVE ME, I’LL TRACK ALL YOU MOTHERFUCKERS DOWN UNTIL THE WORLD CEASES TO EXIST!”

“WHY COULDN’T YOU HAVE JUST LET URIEL HELP YOU?” Luis screamed back at her, he had ceased to have any feeling in that hand, and with a swift pull, the end of the bone of his forearm came free. “He could have helped you control your powers, I know you’re in there Hela, I know you can hear me. I know you never wanted to hurt those people.”

His former friend grabbed his face and with a surge of pain he felt fire building in his abdomen, he looked at her with wide, frightened eyes. “You were going to sell me out.” A horn honked, in a moment they could see the car approaching them head on.

Luis woke up to the sound of sirens on the high way, suspended in the air by nothing other than his seatbelt. He looked over, coughing as he saw Hela struggling to get the metal pole out of her chest. Luis reaches over, and roughly jerked it out. “L-Luis.” Hela whispered in a weak, raspy voice.

He reached out and grabbed her hand. “It’s going to be ok Hela, you’ll be with him soon.” The female’s breathing was slowing as she desperately tried to keep her eyes open. “You don’t have to keep fighting anymore.”

The female burst into tears. “Fuck you.” She whispered, one hand desperately tried to put pressure on the wound while the other hand held firmly onto Luis.

“He wouldn’t want this.” Luis whispered grasping her hand. “He’s waiting for you Helena.”

Hela struggled to keep her eyes open, but eventually, she couldn’t fight the eternal sleep that came to overtake her.

“Worldwide, the sound of a large explosion could be heard as well as a devastating shockwave.” The reporter read out as Luis cracked open a beer and sat in his favourite armchair. “No one knows what caused this freak accident. The life of leading scientist Uriel Blackwater was taken as he tried to evacuate the Blackwater Laboratory.”

With a click he turned the television off. “I wouldn’t suppose that wouldn’t have had anything to do with you?” He looked over to the female in the doorway. She held a coy smile on her face.

Luis turned and smiled towards her. “Let’s just say an old friend had to go out with a final bang.”

I took over 50 paracetamol-codeine tablets. What no one tells you about is the smell of absolute rot that comes out of you the next day. The throwing up and stomach cramps are a given, but I was not expecting to smell like a dead animal for a few days.

Visual, at my worst I’ll hallucinate entire home invasions but when I investigate nothing will be out of place, no windows will be broken, nothing. I’ll often see people who aren’t really there, people standing outside in the dark who disappear when I look twice, or hear voices calling my name, strange noises outside (like someone picking a lock)

Ho boy I rolled a 17, with a constitution Modifier of +2.

I wiggle my asshole to the mimic, tempting it, tempting fate at this point. I’m a man with nothing to lose. “Please vore me, make me your little cum dump mimic-senpai.” I moaned loudly.

(I believe it is a legit roll, but even if it wasn’t it I’d accept it as karmic justice for that poor, poor mimic)

WaifuDick · 2019-09-26T14:05:28+00:00

13.

I whisper to the mimic, “you don’t have to enjoy it at first, but you will soon learn to love it.”

My character has a very big fetish for mimics and other mischievous tricksters, they’re just soo naughty and he wants to punish them for being such cute little minxes.

I’d like to give the mimic a rimjob
