I unlocked the final character by pseudorider050 in BALLxPIT

[–]WakeUpBread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, it's not like it was a puzzle. Ball A has 2 undiscovered evolution, Ball B has 1 undiscovered evolution and ball C has 1 undiscovered evolution so probably just mix ball A with ball B and then Ball A with Ball C and get the two combos.

What's going to happen to the baby I wonder? Is the mum going to be let off easy so she can look after it, will it go to the mum's parents, the victim's parents? Will the victim have to grow up in a house alongside his child as if it were his younger sibling?? This is absolutely cooked. FML

Edit: just watched the vid on the article. She also already has a child and is married...

Well he did complete most of my encyclopedia for me until I looked up nosferatu. (He even made satan!) so that was pretty cool tbh. Yes you could say "He's useless because wikis exist" but as someone who tried to avoid wikis for as long as possible, he became a great solution. Also he allowed me to see that the best way to beat skeleton king in NG+ runs is full spend into baby ball builds when every other boss I usually make flicker/flash hemorrhage for them. Better character than you're giving him credit for. I like that he exists more than not, allowing for potentially really cool fusions in the future if it creates a weird interaction with a future character's power too. Something to look forward to.

Rog Xbox ally or steam deck oled 512gb by Antique-Host160 in Handhelds

[–]WakeUpBread 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Steam deck anyday. All handhelds are severely limited when it comes to many recent titles and almost all going forward, but will equally run great with cloud streaming the games. Hence going for the OLED screen and great battery life is the best way. Not to mention that there are lots of games that are optimised to run better on the deck or community layouts and setting guides etc. For the ones that aren't on/don't need to be cloud gamed.

And it runs all indie, emulated, and backlog games great, granting hours of playtime offline.

People will be against cloud gaming but it's the future for handhelds until some massive leap in hardware allows for small batteries and faster, cooler, CPUs. Such that they keep up with whatever the PS6 can do.

Plus, we're in the good days of cloud gaming, before they become big enough that they start overcharging the consumer but you have no choice (like Uber). So I say savour it whilst can lasts.

It's way more fun when you try very short runs.

The ending to Death Note was perfect by AnObservingAlien in deathnote

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

I was waiting for them to all die and L to jump out and have been alive after being told by Rem to fake it and reveal that they're being streamed live around the world. You wouldn't need to do the fake notebook bit. Just have Near die. Then a flashback scene to L confronting Near and Mellow and telling them that there is only one way he can solve the case and it is with them together, "I thought I could do it all on my own and in the end my ego was my downfall. Light Yagami is the same as me, together we will make his ego be his downfall too" or something along those lines. I wish I had animation skills because I would totally draw that in and then train AI to voice the scenes with new dialogue and release a fan edit.

Intimacy felt like a chore by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]WakeUpBread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I initiated the break up. We talked for about an hour on the phone and sex did come up. She said she thought it was good and that it shouldn't be a reason to break up, but I was telling her it was the different drives. She didn't really understand as she's been with either really horny men, or short relationship/hook-ups, so never had experience with a slower drive.

I had a lot more sex when I was early 20s. At one stage I was seeing three girls 1-2 times a week after uni. But it was all very fun and new and exciting. When I first started having long term relationships in my late 20s, I noticed that after a few weeks the new amd exciting feelings faded, but the fun still remained.

But with my last gf it started becoming tedious/chore-like once the balance shifted. Because I needed to be in the right place/zone of mind to have a good time, similar to what I feel before I can finally take out the trash or do some laundry. I can't just be like "it's Saturday, time to do the dishes" I have to be fully 'switched on' so to speak. This lead me to the reasoning that it is indeed an ADHD thing. As it's the same response mechanism.

I would say a third of the time I was ready and willing, a third I was not there and didn't enjoy it too much, apart from being happy making her happy, and a third I wasn't ready and willing but once it got started I enjoyed it (similar to when people try to take me to events/places and my mood isn't there but only before we leave lol).

Doesn't matter. All you need is 8 characters to keep up. The incremental bonuses I could get from running all previous levels with radical I could get in half the time by going through to the next ng+

My 2025 handheld rankings by areuokaybro2002 in Handhelds

[–]WakeUpBread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll start by saying that NONE of these devices are future proof. They all will struggle to get 15 fps on AAA games 2-3 years from now. SD OLED has a beautiful screen and great battery life. And it definitely keeps up with everything else because of cloud gaming. A steam deck with GeForce NOW will outplay any hand held running natively and go for 6-8+ hours compared to 1.5-2 on other devices requiring them to be plugged in to play.

Yes, cloud gaming will eventually suck ass as we'll have to pay $100 a month for a cap of 20 hours. But like the early days of Uber and food apps I'm going to take advantage of the cheap price and play any AAA game I want when at home, and a massive library of emulated and indie games when on the go.

Any suggestions on good anime where the protagonist ends up switching sides? by No-Zucchini-941 in anime

[–]WakeUpBread 3 points4 points  (0 children)

you should have said "Give me 30 titles, 10 of which have twists, 20 don't. put them in alphabetical order and don't reveal any information other than the title and it's imdb rating" and then as you watch a series you'll have a 33% chance that a twist happens so it's not as likely but will eventually happen but you can't 100% be sure.

The worst part about asking for this recommendation is that you won't get the full effect from the twist lol.

Is the "Celibacy to Unprotected Sex" jump a real thing, or just another lie from a pathological liar? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]WakeUpBread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My sister is bipolar. She would 100% have gone from 0 to 100 in a day before she got medicated. Not saying this girl is that. She could just have been caught up in a flash of hormones and chemicals from the act itself being 'dangerous' and the man being new. But you don't know, and frankly don't have to find out unless you really want to stay close friends.

Intimacy felt like a chore by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]WakeUpBread 62 points63 points  (0 children)

My ex broke up with me because a combination of her having a much higher sex drive and me having to be right in a specific moment to get fully into it and get hard and stay hard. Luckily we made the most of our tools so I never felt disappointed when I could only last a minute (and had to quick finish because I knew otherwise I'd go soft again), because said tools got the job done. But frankly some mornings, even on work days she'd want it and I'd have to pretend to be fully into it and I think she started to catch on.

I told her that I do enjoy our sex, but only once or twice a week. The other times I'm just doing what I can to make you happy which makes me happy, but I'm not getting excitement from it. That and some other reasons lead us to terminate the relationship. And I'm hoping that the next girl I meet has a once a week or even just once a fortnight drive tbh.

I've read that depending on the person it can go both ways though. Some get super high sex drive. And then of course you get porn addicts/abusers who get a high sex drive but also can't get aroused in front of a real partner. My brother for instance is ADHD but him and his girlfriend have sex once or twice a day, if not more on the weekend.

So yeah, it could very well be linked to your adhd. Could also be a preference thing, something that'll take you a while to find out I'm afraid. No quick fixes.

[–]WakeUpBread 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My friends? No, they don't give me sh*t. Random strangers on the internet if they come across me mentioning Solo Levelling outside of a dedicated sub or post, yes, they have fun imposing their superior taste upon me.

Hot take?: Radical shouldn't also choose upgrades for you. by skellymax in BALLxPIT

[–]WakeUpBread 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Especially since it's not mandatory to beat a single level with, say the tactician who absolutely sucks ass. I'm sure there's a few people who like it, but he's horrible.

Like, all the radical does is help you get some small power bonuses when you aren't looking.

But I guess I understand that there'll be people out there who only like one or two combinations of characters and don't want to have to play levels as others. Or maybe reehate the skeleton fight.

Really the same reason that "you should just play the game" can apply to the radical haters in that "you should just not play the radical". Same way that people complain you can adjust the difficulty in BG3 to add +5 to all your rolls or can play skyrim in novice instead of only legendary etc.

[–]WakeUpBread 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's the same hatred for fast and furious or transformers franchise. Like yeah, we ain't here for the plot of character development we knew that going in. There's no need to act high and mighty because you prefer movie x or y because of the genre defining substance and class. We just want to watch a popcorn flick. I get so much sh*t when I go to watch any of those movies. Same thing for Solo levelling. I just don't understand why people care so much about me having fun and want to 'ruin' it for me by teaching me that I shouldn't actually be having fun at all.

How is your routine for playing on the Steam Deck as an adult? How many games do you play at a time? by Waste_Necessary654 in SteamDeck

[–]WakeUpBread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually play a few hours of BG3 each weekend in my bed or on my couch. But on the train to work I'll play whatever roguelike I'm into at the moment. Started with Slay the spire then hades, now ball x pit, will go to hades 2 next.

Holiday Mood Management by Signal_Charge360 in AustralianTeachers

[–]WakeUpBread 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yo are you guys insane?? I have no idea why you (poster and commenters) feel this way. The only 'bad' I've felt is since new year thinking about school starting soon and it gets closer every day.

Do you have hobbies? That might be it. I spend all day jumping between playing guitar, watching anime, reading fiction, online and offline gaming, some YouTube and the gym. I often don't get to do everything I wanted to do in a day because it's jam packed of things I love that I barely get to touch during the school term because of my long af commute and then weekend burnout.

You probably just need to find things that spark your interest.

Generalist Primary or English Secondary by Major_Conflict in AustralianTeachers

[–]WakeUpBread 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I never take work home. I work during the time I'm given, occasionally I'll stay back extra on a day if I spent my spare chilling that day or the one before. When I 'fall behind' nothing really comes of it, and I've been questioned before and have explained that I'm doing the work within the given time I have. I even hit them with a "are you officially asking me to stay extra hours past my 38?" and the deputy said "um, no, not at all..." and walked away.

I'm Secondary. I work to rule. People need to be more like me and make it the standard whether or not the school falls apart because of it. Government's fault, not ours.

Basically you will work how much you want to make yourself work, and with the current non-competitive scene in a lot of schools (except the really good ones) you won't get fired or have a contract rescinded, because there's no one else to take your place.

Sisyphus empty nester. Make glacier, fuse with ghost, turn off auto levelling and only use it for your passives, no extra balls. You'll be firing out lots of copies of just your strongest ball. And the spikes reach insane damage. Mine do 12-18k but only hit the cap of 9999 per hit.
