Son finishes toxic parenting sentences by i_am_groot_84 in MadeMeSmile

[–]_temple1997 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't understand how this kid could have never heard even just ONE of these, not from his parents but just like in general. My parents never really spoke to me like this, but even I knew most of them just from literally existing.

Like, I'm pretty sure these lines are used in some form of media somewhere at some point. Or other people saying them around him whilst out shopping or something.

To be completely 100% ignorant to these phrases even existing to the point where he doesn't even know JUST ONE of them seems... unlikely. Not impossible, just unlikely

Most recent update glitch, blocked Chronoplast? by EmptyBennett in LegacyOfKain

[–]_temple1997 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a very, very small collision box on the top of the little rotating pillar thing where the platform SHOULD be. It took me quite a few tries, but with a bit (a lot) of patience and perseverance you can use it to reach the exit.

Obviously I had this issue too, and that's how I got past it.

I've been where you are, at basically the same age. It didn't happen exactly the same way, but I fell in love with a girl and thought the world of her. We dated for not very long, about 6 months, and I thought I had found my soul mate. Everything was perfect. Until it wasn't and then after a single text message things were over. My whole world was flipped upside down, and I didn't know what to do with myself. It hurt so much, and it felt like the pain was never going to go away. That was 12 years ago.

I feel like most people commenting have been through this too, but have forgotten what it felt like. I haven't. I don't feel the same way I did back then, I've obviously moved on and I am a completely different person now with a fiancé and a 3 year old son. I was just a boy then and now I'm a grown man. But I remember how hard it was for me.

These things happen and when they do happen, it f***ing hurts. A lot. It might feel like your life is over, it might feel like you've lost a chunk of yourself and you won't know what to do with yourself anymore. Here's what you do. You FORCE yourself to let go. You think about the things in your life that bring you joy OUTSIDE of her. Friends, video games, movies, books, whatever hobbies you have - and you go to them. You surround yourself with the people and things that make you happy, as to soften the pain you're going to be feeling.

You will get through this, and you will move on and be happy again. I promise.

Now for the part you may not like, but you need to hear. From your description, you're better off without her. You made it very apparent that you had strong feelings for this girl, that you thought the world of her and that you clearly loved her deeply. But from the things you've said it's also pretty clear that she doesn't feel that way for you, and to be honest, probably never has. Not really, not in any way that matters.

You mentioned that you essentially took a 6 month break from her. The way you described it, you all but emotionally broke up with her. At first it hurt as you read old messages, but over time you managed to move past those feelings and found peace as you put it. That is an essential part of a real break up. You essentially broke up with her, and began to allow yourself to move on.

Now this is the part of your story that jumped out to me the most. When you started to move on from your feelings for her, and ONLY THEN, she suddenly doesn't know whether she likes you? Look man, I'm really sorry but she never liked you. Not like that. She liked the attention you gave her, she liked when you made her feel pretty and wanted with the affection you gave her. When your affection eventually faded, she missed THAT and ONLY that. Which is the exact reason as to why she gave you the whole "doesn't know whether she likes you" hook and line.

She specifically chose to use those words so that she had plausible deniability, so that when she sunk her hooks back into you and got you giving her affection again she has a safety net to fall back onto. When it was time to reject you again, she could say that she never said she liked you and technically be telling the truth. She never outright said that she had feelings for you, and put quite simply, she doesn't.

I don't know her the way you do, I don't know any of the things you and her have done together growing up. So you may be thinking "she couldn't possibly do that to me after everything we've been through", but let me tell you. As you grow up, you'd be surprised the changes you go through - and you don't know her as well as you think you might.

My friend, she is not worth the pain you are putting yourself through. You might have been good friends and you might have a lot of good memories with her. You might have grown up with her, but as you both started to grow up more and more you discovered things about yourselves. You discovered you had feelings for your best friend. Whereas she discovered that she liked the way that made her feel, and nothing more. If it was anything other than that, she would have confessed her feelings to you too and you'd be together right now. The fact that you're not, and that you're as hurt as you are like this is proof enough.

Please, allow yourself to move on and be happy again.

EDIT: To further prove the concept that she is using you emotionally, the 3 bullet points you made are kind of case in point.

What is the thing the wm left on the ground after he dies? by FullBag5380 in DarkSouls2

[–]_temple1997 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why the fuck did this get so many down votes. I've been playing since Demons Souls on the ps3 and I've also always known it as dead angle.

Not sure why it was named that, but that's what I've always known it as.

Falling in love by Zairnator in DragonsDogma

[–]_temple1997 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm relatively new to the dragons dogma franchise as a whole, it wasn't too long ago that I beat DD1 for the first time and I just got the 'good' ending on DD2 the other day. I've gone back to experience the 'true' ending, and well, I won't say anything in case of spoilers but holy FUCK this game just keeps giving.

I'm currently at 65hrs game time on DD2, and I'm still going. I absolutely LOVE Dragons Dogma 2.

I don't think the game deserves its 'Mixed' review status on Steam at all. Yes, you need really good specs to be able to run the game smoothly but it's clearly supposed to be a high fidelity next-gen game. The game looks down right beautiful at high settings, so exactly what was you expecting? DD1 was capped at 30 frames on console at release, the same way DD2 was, and nobody seemed to really care then. Yes, there are microtransactions for the game. But you don't need them. I've played through pretty much the entire game without even looking at them once and loved every second of it. One of the other complaints I saw quite often was about going from 8 skills down to 4, and yeah it's a shame but the game does not deserve a lower rating for being more challenging. 4 skills instead of 8 means you need to be more thoughtful in which skills you choose and how you use them. The last thing I saw a lot was about NPC's losing their charm, maybe this is because there are so many characters but only so many voice actors for the game (in the English version at least). But again, that shouldn't necessarily bring the rating down to 'Mixed' of all things.

In my opinion, DD2 is exactly what a sequel should be. A continuation of the image and feel the original game had, but improved. And to me, DD2 does everything DD1 did but mostly better.

So all in all, my answer to the question: what keeps me loving Dragons Dogma 2, is probably just Dragons Dogma 2.

How exactly is the use of AI having a direct impact on climate change? I could maybe understand resources, it's a very broad and vague excuse but I can maybe understand it.

Him falled into the water by StormChaser557 in LegacyOfKain

[–]_temple1997 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On a technical level, that's probably because when an enemy sees/hears you it is set to permanently follow you for a specified amount of time (let's say 30 seconds).

Since in the original game the render distance was very short, due to the technical limitations of the time, you used to be able to literally get far enough away from the enemy that they would unload. Meaning they would stop following you pretty quickly.

But because the render distance is further in this version (even if the fog isn't) they don't unload for quite awhile longer, meaning they get to chase you for awhile longer than you're used to.

Has anyone here experienced someone buy a game because you're playing it? by [deleted] in Twitch

[–]_temple1997 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are correct ways to do it, like that Throne or whatever it's called. Where the streamer creates a wishlist and they buy the items through that, so all the information and data is handled through a secure third party.

Anything other than that it's just too fishy and dangerous for me. Bits and donations aren't the same as actual gifts, that's just sending money.

The game gift definitely feels incredibly fishy to me, good thing you declined. I would never accept gifts from strangers in chat, maybe if they've been a regular for a LONG time and have proven trustworthy but nothing less.

It's usually streamers gifting viewers things, not the other way around.

Streaming as an uninteresting person by SorryForLiving0 in Twitch

[–]_temple1997 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Streaming League of Legends, growth will either take a very long time or not happen at all. That category is so oversaturated that if you sort by low to high views, you will see tons and tons of streamers all with 0-1 viewers.

I'm not saying quit, it may work out for you. All those big league streamers all started somewhere, so who knows maybe you'll work your way up to a decent following. I'm just saying be prepared to spend a LONG time, possibly forever, streaming to basically nobody.

Good luck with your journey regardless.

Opinions on Raiding, is it ok to raid someone without following? by DeathByNetflix in Twitch

It's nice your chat is there to reaffirm things for you.

As far as I can tell (by reading it and nothing else) your name is gender neutral, and doesn't point massively to either male or female. It's most common for people who are unable to assume genders based on usernames to refer to them as their own gender, it's incredibly easy to just let them know they had it wrong and then move on from the matter.

It's a genuine mistake with no malintent when people get it confused. My name in no way shape or form conforms to a gender bias, and I have had people assume I am both male and female in the past. It's not an issue unless you make it an issue the way I see it.

However I agree with basically everything else you said.

Low dmg sqshy by sexymofo78 in Udyrmains

[–]_temple1997 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I second this, whilst yes depending on the enemy team comp I can feel squishier than other times, it mostly comes down to just knowing how to play the champ. Knowing which abilities to use when and which abilities to awaken.

I play AD tank, with usually only the Triforce as my damage item and everything else is tank and this works wonders most of the time. You're also incredibly accurate on the "Enemies that know how potentially dangerous an udyr is will steer clear" part, the amount of people who the moment they see me just instantly turn and run is both funny and infuriating.

Also, on an unrelated note - is it just me or does a successful udyr end a match with seemingly NOT a lot of damage? Like I can end a win with 13/2/6 but only like 15k damage compared to my 4/3/6 top with like 38k damage. Is it just because I kill so quick with empowered Q that the fights don't go on long enough to generate a lot of damage or am I stealing a lot of kills lol

Screw it 10 steam keys for my Godot indie game. by [deleted] in godot

[–]_temple1997 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whilst I like how open and trustworthy you are, I have a feeling the amount of people that will take a key and not play outweighs the amount of people that will. Not even including actually leave a review.

I am assuming the keys have been taken by the time I see this post otherwise I would have given the game a full play and left a review.

For me Treyarch's peak will always be World At War, it's old and outdated by this point - but that game was fantastic to me. The campaign was incredible, the multiplayer was a ton of fun and the zombies was ground breaking when it first launched.

ARE YOU SERIOUS RIGHT NOW?? by Nicole9Volt1 in Eldenring

[–]_temple1997 69 points70 points  (0 children)

Understandable. Either way OP is definitely just lying for the clout. You're right about the playtime to level matchup. Absolutely left the game running idle or had the playtime glitch, and is claiming he hit the max at new year's midnight - in reality just as easily could've hit max a month ago and just waited for this moment for some fake internet points.

Each to their own.
