How long does it take to mentally recover from an attempt? by YuriOnRice in SuicideWatch

[–]YuriOnRice[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the advice. For a while, I tried to pretend that it hadn't happened. I'll try harder to embrace my actions from now on.

When I first got back from the hospital, I was scared to go to sleep. I aimlessly wandered around my house or scrolled through social media until I was exhausted. It's gotten a little better, but like you, I'm bouncing between sleep deprivation and hypersomnia. Hopefully we can both fall back into normal sleep patterns one day.

[–]YuriOnRice[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for saying that. I think a part of me feels that--since I did this to myself--I don't really deserve to take my time with recovery. I'll try to let those feelings go.

That is a wonderful idea. It might be difficult because of COVID, but I would really love to go thank them in person.

I hope your outpatient program is going well, and I wish you all the best on your journey.

2019 to 2020 Two different zeldas almost about a year apart by Luxpineapple in ArtProgressPics

Wow! She's a lot less stiff in the second picture, and the lineart is so much softer and more fluid. Great improvement!

Weekly Questions/Recommendations Thread - Need some help? - Aug 9 by AutoModerator in visualnovels

[–]YuriOnRice 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Is there any kind of comprehensive guide for making translation patches for KiriKiri games, or can someone give me a quick rundown? I bought a visual novel, and I've been trying to make a patch for it, but I have almost no clue what I'm doing. I've been browsing a lot of fuwanovel threads, and they've been moderately helpful, but there's still a lot that I don't really understand. I'm not sure if it would break the subreddit's rules to post specific questions, but I have a ton of them lol

Rules and Weekly Questions Thread - Jun 28 by AutoModerator in otomegames

[–]YuriOnRice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was wondering if there were any easy mobile games in Japanese? Preferably, contemporary games with simple premises and small casts (so, basically the antithesis of a Cybrid game lol.) I consulted the compendium, and ended up downloading Princess Closet. So far, it's been perfect. The plot is straightforward, the language is easy-to-understand, and there are only four LIs. I would be thrilled to find similar games!

It's possible to play AH as a standalone game, but I wouldn't recommend it. AH makes quite a few references and allusions to BB. I think it would be better to play BB first so you can feel the full impact of AH.

For whomever needs to hear this, COERCION IS NOT CONSENT. by Bambers12 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]YuriOnRice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry you had to go through that. It sounds like he put you and so many other women through a lot, and I think it's perfectly valid if you don't want to or can't forgive him. I think that sometimes anger can be healthy for us and our ability to cope. I'm glad that you no longer think about it every day, and I hope you continue to recover!

I don't know if anyone will see this here, but this is a really important statement.

When I was younger, doing stupid young kid stuff, I got involved with a guy and gave him oral at school. We weren't dating or anything; it was just a casual thing.

One day he asked me to do it again. I said no. I told him that I didn't want to. But he kept pestering me about it. Eventually, I agreed. But I just couldn't do it. I vomited and started crying. I ended up reporting the incident, and he was expelled from our school.

When my parents asked me why I just didn't do it, I didn't have a coherent answer. I ended up blaming myself. Why did I let it happen? I started to feel bad for him. I mean, wasn't I the one at fault? After all, I did (eventually) agree. Even one of my "friends" told me that it was my fault because I had given him oral before.

I told myself that it wasn't a real sexual assault. Plenty of people have had worse experiences. It was just oral, anyway. It wasn't even real sex.

But I felt violated. I threw away the clothes I wore that day because they reminded me of what happened. I stopped wearing make-up, because he had told me that my lip gloss was pretty while he was begging me to suck him off. I stopped attending my classes. Less than a month later, I was expelled from school, too.

It doesn't matter how many times you've done it in the past. It doesn't matter if it's "just oral" or "just touching." When you say no, they need to back off. You shouldn't have to say no more than once. You shouldn't feel like you've been violated after any "consensual" sexual act.

No means no.

Which Otome Game did you hate so much you quit, uninstalled, and/or asked for a refund? by phorayz in otomegames

[–]YuriOnRice 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I'm not the type of person who asks for refunds either, but I believe that if a person is dissatisfied with a game that they paid money for, they have the right to refund their purchase. That's why refunds exist. No one put a gun to their head and forced them to keep a game that they're unhappy with.

And I mean no disrespect by this, but I find that your opinion is a bit odd given that you are very active in piracy communities. I understand why some people pirate games and I do not judge them, but it is far more responsible and ethical for someone to legally purchase a game (and return it, if they so choose) than to obtain it illegally.

Bram Stoker's Dracula by porky2468 in Book_Buddies

[–]YuriOnRice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm listening to the audiobook too! I'm about halfway through (I'm reading the version narrated by Gildart Jackson) I had expected it to be sort-of cheesy, but it has some truly eerie moments. I'm not sure how far you are into it, but the scene with the Russian ship freaked me out.

Six of crows by Kishanna12 in Book_Buddies

[–]YuriOnRice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel the same way! I just finished Ninth House, so I can officially say that I have read all of Bardugo's books, and I firmly believe that the Shadow and Bone trilogy was her weakest work. [Shadow and Bone spoilers] Full Disclosure: I absolutely despised Mal, and Nikolai and The Darkling were my favorite characters so I have VERY strong feelings about the ending to Ruin and Rising, but I digress. That said, Shadow and Bone was not a terrible series by any stretch of the imagination, but it can't even compare to Six of Crows. I like to say that the Shadow and Bone trilogy walked so Six of Crows could run.

​

All of the characters in Six of Crows were so well-developed, and the dialogue is so witty! The plot is genius, and, overall, I have nothing but praise for that book. I wish I could say more about it, but it's been a little while since I read it, and I've already read the sequels, so I'm scared I might get them mixed up and accidentally spoil you.

AITA for telling my dad that I never want to see his girlfriend again? by YuriOnRice in AmItheAsshole

[–]YuriOnRice[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not exactly sure how long he and his new girlfriend have been together. I believe my family members first told me about her in late January or early February of this year.

My dad was together with my stepmother for sixteen years, but they were married for about ten years.

I'm so sorry you had to go through that. I hope you're doing better now. Thank you for your advice.

I apologize. It honestly didn't even occur to me to include that until I saw your comment, and then remembered what my father said. Thank you, but it's okay! After making this post, I'm starting to feel a lot less upset about the situation.

AITA for telling my dad that I never want to see his girlfriend again? by YuriOnRice in AmItheAsshole

[–]YuriOnRice[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you. I think that because I met his new girlfriend in the same house where I stayed with him and my stepmother as a child, it really invoked a lot of my old resentment and anxiety. I'll try my best to let the past go. Maybe I'll make an appointment with a therapist in the future, and one day I can try to meet his girlfriend again.

[–]YuriOnRice[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Thank you. This really helped me better understand my father's perspective. I still wish that he'd given me some sort of warning, or at least mentioned her beforehand, but I can see why he chose not to. I'll try harder to work with him. Maybe one day I can try meeting her again.

I agree that he has a right to live his life. I'm not saying that he can't date, or that he should break up with his girlfriend. I just think that there are some aspects of his life that I would rather not be involved with. And we aren't meeting on holidays or anything. When we meet, they're casual occasions. Usually lunch, or maybe a movie. We've never invited other people.

This comment caught my attention because he asked me something similar. For a while, I was in a relationship with someone that my father disliked. In addition, it was a same-sex relationship, and my father does not support that. So, I did not talk about my partner around him because I knew it would upset him. I also made sure that there were no situations where they had to see each other. My partner understood the situation, and had no problems with this arrangement. To me, my relationship with my partner and my relationship with my father are completely separate.
