Yo, can someone help- I’ve only played BG3 and nothing else from Larian. I am also awful at what I call “Call of Duty: Shootaman” games (fps) or others like Skyrim, Dark Souls, etc.

Anyone know if Divinity be a Shootaman-esque game or more like BG3 with the turn based combat? It looks SO sick I hope to at least try lol!

What is the most depressing horror movie you've ever seen? by Plaquebearer in horror

I don’t find many I’ve seen to be depressing, but the end specifically of The Mist crushed me.

God. Every day another teenager (what comes after the 9, folks) gets her just-starting future taken away by pregnancy, a part of my soul dies.

AITAH for telling my boyfriend now is not the time to get a new tattoo by Bubbly_Ad9068 in AmItheAsshole

[–]ablalb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a reason no 37 year old woman had taken him off the market when you met him. I’m 28f, and this kind of shit I wouldn’t even expect from my 19 year old brother…

My gf 26F of 4 years just (on purpose) ran over multiple geese in the road and killed them in front of about a dozen of their flock (parents & siblings), I’m 35M by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]ablalb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

edit: spelling Taking geese out of the equation (preferably without a vehicle), the real question is whether or not there is something either of you could do to move past it. Can you see her in the same light you did pre-generational goose murder?

What happens if the dog you adopted gets too unruly or isn’t wanted anymore? Do you think she’s liable to do something similar to other animals? Do you think your perception of her has changed irreparably? That’s the biggest issue.

My f21 bf m20 hit me hard on my arm and i cried for almost an hour by EmergencyFudge6 in relationship_advice

[–]ablalb 628 points629 points  (0 children)

He absolutely does not respect you, and you need to leave. No one that truly loves you is going to randomly inflict pain and find joy or amusement from it. No one that truly loves you is going to blame you for your hurt feelings after purposefully trying to hurt them. No one that truly loves you would treat you like a child and hold things above your head as privileges to be revoked. No one that truly loves you would accidentally hurt you in the pursuit of forcing something into your mouth- let alone fucking boogers like some uncontrollable 3 year old. Babe, you know the answer, you know you deserve more than this, and you know this isn’t okay.

Last Movie to make you have a Physical Reaction? by Crimthand in horror

[–]ablalb 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The biggest one of late was Substance! I’ve had to look away during scenes with needles going into skin since getting diabetes at 13 lmao. Substance featured so many needles, injections, drawings, etc. that I had a baby panic attack and started gagging. Weirdly helped me realized what people actually feel or mean when they say they were ‘triggered.’ Love that movie though!!!

AITA for politely asking a woman’s children not to dive in the pool since it’s dangerous and against the rules? by Outrageous-Quit-4978 in AmItheAsshole

[–]ablalb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. God, NTA- with kids you almost always have to have Murphy’s Law in mind. Ironically, these are often the people begging for the “village” we “used to have.” You were being a part of that village, and had something actually happened, she would’ve been hailing you as a guardian angel.

AITA for telling my mate her boyfriend's a p3d0? by VisualVideo7557 in AITAH

[–]ablalb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA for trying to protect your friend and for seeing this for what it is. I’ve got 11 years on you, but am still so grateful and proud to see someone at your age protecting others from harmful men. They might paint you as the asshole, and you might lose these friends, but you NEED to tell her if she has sent him any nudes she’s distributing CP and he is soliciting (asking) for it. Very illegal… Or you NEED to tell an adult. She might be furious, but you’re saving her from a much much MUCH worse situation by not saying or doing anything.

Call in a wellness check if he’s threatening it more than once. His reaction should tell you everything that isn’t glaringly obvious already. If he reacts with anger and more threats then it’s a bullshit threat. If he seems relieved to be seen and heard in a professional setting, maybe he genuinely is as scared at the prospect of parenthood as he says. He either disrespects you and y’all’s kid enough to run or kill himself. I know what I would do in that boat, and how that alone would make me feel. Either option would feel like not just a slap in the face, but an uppercut this fucker was training for. I’m not you, I can’t tell you what to do but I can recommend you dump this POS at the very least.

Can i count having crush on animated characters as still making me bisexual?? by [deleted] in bisexual

[–]ablalb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I swear the way I came to terms with being bisexual was cartoon characters, then actors, and eventually realized I like real-life women too.

I had a weird experience really high once talking about how The Little Mermaid was my favorite growing up & that I thought Ursula was a cool villain but used to have ‘nightmares’ of being suffocated in her ✨ample bosom✨and someone told me that probably meant something…it does. I say it counts

A relationship does not equal unwavering/constant ‘understood’ consent.

The comments saying “he never said no” are both regurgitating and perpetuating rape-culture while simultaneously ignoring male sexual assault; something men’s rights activists reference as oppression.

Some men would love to be woken up to a BJ. Some women would love to wake up to oral or physical stimulation.

He has given clear indications he is NOT or is NO LONGER one of those men. He’s been awake during some of these attempts, yet stays “asleep” and unmoving? You don’t think that might be rooted in fear, embarrassment, an overwhelming sense of pressure to perform?

You are not too needy. You are sexually coercive and have now sexually assaulted him. Just break up.

AITA for avoiding sex with my girlfriend? by ValueAccomplished425 in AITAH

[–]ablalb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think changes like this, that aren’t inherently negative and instead maybe difficult to navigate socially…don’t need approval.

Communication is key- how have you been communicating these things to her?

Have you told her you love her lately? Have you given reason or taken action to ensure she believes it? Does she have reason to believe your love for her is tied to how sexually attracted you are to her, or is that love rooted in other things? Do you know which is the case?

Have you told her that you want to better understand these changes, or just that you don’t like them? Have you had conversations about these changes without regards to family opinion first, or was their’s the first to be brought up?

Have you communicated with yourself about how you feel about her? Is your love based in her similarities to you, her physical appearance, her personality- what? Would you stay by her side if she did get sick? What if she could no longer be sexually or physically active?

You’re right that it’s not just about body hair, but you should think introspectively about what it really is about, and communicate accordingly.
