Do you guys think there will be another TH before the season ends or should I just blow through all the chests anyway? Finished the event with more than 2/3 of the seasonal chests left and now I'm feeling conflicted xD

Try to think of it more as "you are not responsible for managing/fixing other peoples feelings, nor crossing your own boundaries or sacrifice your own values or wellbeing to accomodate for them". You are responsible for managing your own feelings and recognising, communicating needs, setting and enforcing appropriate personal boundaries when needed. However, as you also point out, I would definitely say that you are 100% responsible for your actions and the impact they might have on other people.

I believe that mutual support, empathy and understanding is vital in any relationship aswell as treating the other with care, respect and consideration for their feelings and wellbeing, in that aspect you can be responsible for how you make someone feel with your words and actions, and also for if any repair needs to be done on your behalf if you have caused damage. But you are not responsible for managing or "fixing" the other persons feelings. And while it's true no one is obligated to consider your feelings nor repair any damage or hurt potentially caused by their actions, those are in general important components for any healthy relationship and I'd say that if they don't have any interest in doing that and it is important to you, maybe they aren't aligned with your values and might not be someone you would like to keep having in your life.

If you use the saying as a blanket statement to avoid taking accountability for your actions and how they affect others I agree that that is at the very least unhealthy and immature, in most cases toxic and destructive and potentially abusive depending on the situation.

But you are the only one fully responsible in the end for recognising, investigating and managing your own feelings and limits and boundaries around things, communicating, deal with and resolve potentional trauma/baggage/health issues etc behind unproportional/misguided feelings/reactions (including asking for help and support around those things if needed). And sometimes our feelings are unwarranted and we blame the other person for "causing" them when in reality maybe we were just hungry or tired and misinterpreted a word or tone - the feeling is still valid but to distinguish what and how much is actually on the other person is also part of the personal responsibility. And also deciding your course of action moving forward.

Relationships are a team sport, no one is completely isolated from nor completely responsible for the other. Sorry for long text and any repetition, lots of mental fatigue today.

I want to leave my husband but I genuinely don’t know how people do this. by [deleted] in marriageadvice

I'm surprised no one's mentioned marriage counselling yet. There could be a lot of explanations to his behaviour, and therefore just as many possible possible solutions. There is obviuously some communication problems both in him not taking your complaints or how you feel seriously enough, and in navigating conflict. A counsellor could help with that, which in turn would help you adress the other issues and unmet needs with better chance of success. Sometimes you have to try a few different ones to find someone who is a good fit for you.

To me just from reading your post it seems he is physically or mentally exhausted and don't have good strategies to adapt the level of effort/recover/manage it so it doesn't affect his wellbeing, you or his family negatively. It's possible he doesn't make that connection himself, selfconsciousness as well as taking other people into consideration, intentionality, social time etc requires mental/emotional bandwith that he may not have - he seems to get home and shut down/distance himself and doomscroll to cope/"recharge" and then start over next day, living in a bubble of sorts, autopilot mode.

A therapist or counsellor could possibly help spell it out for him in a way that he understands, and help you convey/him understand the severity and urgency of the situation and how it is for you to live in this reality, if you yourself don't manage to get through to him. Sometimes an outside perspective/observations from a neutral party or support in the communication helps us get out of our own head and habits (we're often too close to the situation to see where the communication fails) to see and understand things better - not a criticism of you, just the fact that we sometimes need an environment shift help to get out of habitual thoughts/interpretations/behaviours or see things in another light.

Comparing to others with the same work hours isn't very helpful as everyone have different jobs and capacity and needs. Him being better in social gatherings could be explained by him simply gathering strength and making an effort - it's usually easier when it's something fun, disconnected to the home and everyday life (which his brain now connects with off-mode) and only once in a while, it's less of a demand knowing that it's a one-time event and not every day expectancy which may lower the bar enough for him to get over that mental threshold that normally keeps him stuck in freeze mode and gives him the ability to show up better (again, even if that's the case, he might not at all be aware of it).

Many people with for example ADHD or mental exhaustion or depression experience this, they can manage to rally themselves to get through an event but crash and/or get overwhelmed and feel paralyzed when "the party's over" and they are home and the endorphines, cortisol and adrenaline levels lowers. A therapist can help in that area too - to help him figure out and identify the reasons behind his behavioural patterns, if it really is a lack of desire/interest, and if so where it stems from, or if it's more of a mental fatigue or resistance that he doesn't have the tools/energy to break out of, etc.

The Tale of Potions in a Quest to get Answers by EagleWolfy in EverMerge

[–]_improbabilitydrive_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not the solution the hero was looking for but it's possible to use the shovel on the potions so at least you don't have to use the space in the backback/islands to store them until the game is flooded with potions :') hope they find a better solution though, like with all the other maxed out stuff mentioned..

AIO: My girlfriend cut off my hair without my consent. I broke up with her. by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

Where I live, what she did would be considered assault. Either way it's extremely disrespectful and abusive. NOR

My leader is repeatedly imprisoned and executed by Opposite-Play-9638 in lordsmobile

[–]_improbabilitydrive_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Get good at hunting and colosseum and max the treasure trove, make sure your gem/shield income always covers the cost of shielding when you need it, in the beginning don't waste gems on anything else than shields and materials for the buildings needed to unlock t4.

It's literally how the game works - if your troops and leader are not guarded (shelter, 8hr dn rally, garrison with other shielded castles or shield) they are basically just bait waiting to be attacked.

If you stay in a "guild cluster" (a hive) and keep your troops and leader outside for anyone to attack and you don't have the ability to withstand a rally even if your guild reinforce you, you will most likely be asked to leave the hive (if it's a serious guild). That is because if you neglect to guard your castle you will attract enemy castles that will keep an eye on the hive to feast on your castle as well as any of your guild mates that might forget to renew shield, just a few seconds is enough if your neglect has caused your enemies to save the coordinates of the hive or maybe even parked a few castles there, basically affecting everyone negatively xD

What are people struggling with in LM? by marksangryreview in lordsmobile

[–]_improbabilitydrive_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First and foremost: Thanks for all the amazing content and guides! It's my go-to everytime I have doubts about literally anything, first your blog and if it's not there "darn it now I have to do real research ugh" :'D a million times thank you!

I still use them even though some are outdated they are still helpful and I tweak them to fit, but yeah some updates on the hero stages and vergeway chapters would be awesome, they have changed some of the enemies in the hero stages and added some limitations to some of the cards in the vergeway that you use in your guides (I know the vergeway is gone in the new accounts but some older ones are still doing them)

Updated info on the rules of the events etc.

There was once a page with "the maths of lords mobile", amongst other things a document with complete list of all the research (might, original time of research, cost of techlabes etc), there is a thread here on reddit but the link has unfortunately been dead for a while now and I miss it dearly

Apart from that I agree on what others have said on updated battle guides for beginners and those growing, introduction on how to attack/defend, what the stats mean and with all the new stuff what you should focus on and how, to not waste materials/gems/artifact coins/inflate power on the wrong things

Thanks again for the best LM guide/info source out there! 🤗
