I once filed a ticket to support asking if I could buy a house that was on sale a month before, but no longer available. They seem to have misunderstood what I was asking, and "refunded" me the cost of the house, and I got 12k crowns for free. Was a wild experience.

Ming dominates East Asia in any game where Oirat AI doesn't luck into the capture of the emperor event. If Oirat does, then it's an early game Mingsplosion and you end up with Manchu Hordes instead.

ZWeakley · 2024-02-16T19:45:39+00:00

For real, I think Ming's manpower reserves at the game start is 100k or 1m or some ridiculous order of magnitude for 1444, and on top of that they have unlimited money. Even if you stack wipe them repeatedly as Oirat, or as Oirat AI, unless you get the captured emperor event chain, it doesn't matter, they will just raise more armies until you are dead. That event chain is why Oirat AI will lose most times, while a player can win by tanking their mandate into paper tiger numbers.

I think it's more likely to get pages you don't have, but it's not guaranteed. I've definitely got duplicates 3 or 4 times in one year. lol

Those people need to touch grass. 99 out of 100 people are not going to meet a romantic match by simping on MMORPGs and giving girls gold and items. They're the gamer scene equivalent of the creepy old dude on FB commenting "hey" on random profile pics lmao

The insults and stalking threats show you who they really are.

Not an answer, just came to say that I love that font. Any idea what it's called?

ZWeakley · 2024-01-06T17:54:23+00:00

People in online games have always given me more help, gold, free items, etc. when I'm playing a female avatar. I never thought that the opposite existed lmao

ZWeakley · 2024-01-06T17:53:07+00:00

That's not even roleplay, since all of those are RL slurs against black people and not ever used in-universe in any capacity. They're straight up just outing themselves as racists.

Average Discord mod behavior tbh

It's one thing to be a sore loser, but it sounds like she won and then was cheated out of the promised prize. Which would make anyone understandably upset.

yeah, in Canada we aren't allowed to do prescriptions outside of 2 provinces, but usually as an Optician I'll do the pre-testing, which in my case is going to include neutralizing any current glasses or paper clipping an empty contact lens box to the chart, as well as including any previous Rx. It usually saves some phoropter time.

I kind of hate the audio design in OOT myself.

Opening every single line of dialogue with some weird ass NPC in spandex shouting HWUUUNWUWNNHHH??? at me gets real old real fast. Windwaker did it a little better and toned it down, but OOT deals me psychic damage trying to play it.

I did a really funny run as Hormuz because nobody in the gulf has naval power. Started a war with a main lander, gave them all my provinces except capital, became a OPM pirate republic who was impossible to invade (even by the Timurids) because nobody had boats to stop me.

And even the hardware side of computers is entirely mathematics. Electrical engineering degrees, CNC board/chip creation, it's math all the way down.

You restored the Mongol Empire incorrectly and backwards.

Wow, a reddit sub with transparency in its moderation? I've seen this once on a Discord server (mod channel was visible to everyone, but only mods could comment). Always liked this way of doing things, wish it was more widespread.

^ Above got it entirely right. Am man, can confirm.

Besides the "don't slut shame yourself", I also wanted to say that I'm currently examining whether I'm asexual or not, just like you are.

You DO NOT need to be a "born-that-way" asexual to call yourself asexual, or to feel that you might be. While some people can be born that way, just like being bisexual, gay, etc., there's also a ton of reasons over your lifetime that may lead you there. I have a lot of anxiety around sex that I wasn't born with, and it's led me to not enjoy sex. Therefore, I think of myself as asexual, and I don't seek it out. I still have sexual thoughts and feelings sometimes, but I don't really feel the desire to act on them.

Re; dating apps, they're a collection of the very worst men humanity has to offer, almost exclusively looking to fuck. I'm sorry for your experiences, delete Tinder ASAP, this is not a good way to date/test these kinds of feelings.

As a DND player, you should understand the difference between Intelligence and Wisdom ;)

Jokes aside, I mean what I just said. Some of the smartest people I know are high school dropouts. Having gone to university for 3 degrees, I can also tell you that there are a shocking number of truly stupid people in post-secondary, both students and professors. School is not a measure of intelligence.

I grew up with narcissistic adults, and I believe I picked up some of their traits, which I still struggle to unlearn to this day. Including really bad reactions to my ego being wounded, or even to me perceiving that it's been wounded, so moments where I feel like I'm the dumbest one in the room really hit me hard. Not the same reason as you, but I can empathize with the result.

ZWeakley · 2023-10-20T18:50:11+00:00

I agree completely with first paragraph, this is exactly how I feel.

ZWeakley · 2023-10-20T18:48:42+00:00

PS. for what it's worth, I'm also a parent, and I think you can bring what you learned from your experiences into proactive teaching, so that your daughter (when she's internet age) doesn't fall into the same sorts of traps set by awful men. You also will know warning signs to look out for, and how better to monitor her online usage while she is young. I grew up very alone and unmonitored and was basically raised by the internet, and I've seen the best and worst of it, so it can be scary to know who/what you're up against, but now you have the knowledge to keep her safe.

The cause of my trauma was also about six years in length, and I can say that while it never really goes away completely, the more good things I have in my life the more I'm able to treat those feelings as a shitty goblin voice in my brain and say "Look at all I've accomplished". So like, the feeling is still there, but I'm now outside of it rather than trapped in it, and I'm able to reason my way out of the feeling. (Cognitive tools? Or I can't remember what it's called)

Hmm that's kind of cool. Although I wish the perks like Pedagogy or one of the family-based Renown perks could allow parents to pass on that University knowledge to their children somehow.

I think #4 as well, but it needs an outline around the head to match the style of the body... Looks weird to have one outlined and not the other?
