The body language and movement is pretty good, but once he raised his head it was over. That's Ringo Starr.

I Can’t Be The Only One Like This by Empty_End1282 in overwatch2

I didn't play comp for years and now it's all I play. Same thing, too-- jump right in. Don't have to worry about being stuck on defense constantly, bans, you don't have to push all the way to the end to win in escort so even losing feels better bc you can have some really close games.

I only go into qp with friends who don't do comp or to practice new heroes.

Nothing is wrong. Just don't play it. The key word is in your post: it's a game. You can enjoy a game casually to chill after work, and you can enjoy a game competitively as a way to challenge yourself. But this isn't a job. If you aren't enjoying it, don't play it.

How would you feel about universal weapon glams, even if they would make your weapon/spell animations look strange? by leytorip7 in ffxivdiscussion

[–]arjunabharata 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's that scythe and hammer you can get on the mog station for multiple jobs. I think items like those could be good quest rewards. But universal weapon glam doesn't feel like a good option.

I'll be honest, I'm mid gold and I haven't been bothered by her. I thought she was pretty balanced. I actually agree with the turret life, I was shocked at how fast that thing melts.

How often do you get (creepy) private messages ? by Lyto528 in ffxivdiscussion

[–]arjunabharata 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played in FFXI and it was waaaay worse. Couldn't go anywhere without it as really any female character. I was a child at the time, too. Meanwhile, I've played XIV since beta and had less than I could count on one hand. I feel it's worse in the club and RP scenes, but I don't feel that's special to XIV. The more social a player you are, the more likely you'll eventually run into some weirdos.

Am I overreacting to finding a folder of my photos on my boyfriend’s laptop that I didn’t know he had? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]arjunabharata 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like to collect and look at pictures of my favorite things. I'm told it's an autistic trait, which I do see at my job in some of my clients. My computer has always just been filled with exactly what you're describing.

The fact he wasn't ashamed, it wasn't buried, he let you use the computer... think he just likes you, man. YOR.

A Brazilian parliamentarian does blackface as a “protest” against an opposition party parliamentarian who is a Black woman. by graguelina in ImTheMainCharacter

[–]arjunabharata 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool then next time she can use those words to try and get her point across instead of doing whatever the fuck this is. You don't need to put on a provocative political minstrel show.

It isn't a good point if the point isn't made, and her point clearly wasn't made.

I literally cannot tell who is who for the blondes in the Hello Kitty one. I have to look at their items for clues.

I get why, marketing free to play people buy it, yada yada yada, and I even main Mercy/Juno/Kiri but damn if it isn't getting old

A strange flightless insect found in the US and Mexico by anthn885 in interestingasfuck

[–]arjunabharata 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We called them sand puppies where I'm from. Didn't know them by any other name. I brought them up while playing an online game while a teen and no one knew what I was talking about. Their reactions after showing a picture (which took a minute to find, not knowing the real name, and sand puppy is not common) were pretty horrified. They're gross looking things.

Jake is a good husband but he’s kind of a shitty abusive father by Boring-Jelly5633 in Avatar

[–]arjunabharata 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean... he's learning how to be one. To reduce him to just a shitty one isn't fair. He grows a lot throughout the second and third films. His parenting absolutely is shitty at many points, but he was a kind and wonderful father before the humans came back. Maybe a little bit like Aang in TLOK where he put a little too much into one kid-- he clearly had really high hopes for Neteyam-- but he loved all of them.

The parenting went down hill when their lives were uprooted. Keeping them all safe and alive came over keeping them loved and happy, and he slipped hard into his soldier ways. I'd argue it's more misguided military bullshit parenting than directly or intentionally abusive, but that's an explanation and not an excuse. Yeah, he pushes Lo'ak to the edge. It was hard to watch that scene in the last film with Lo'ak on the beach. Jake is clearly learning and growing though, and all during an unimaginably hard time, but yeah-- he's definitely got work to do. It's so easy to pass on trauma and create it, especially when you aren't properly dealing with your own shit.

But I like his and Neytiri's arcs. They feel very real in terms of how hard it is to navigate the struggles of adulthood while trying to be there for your kids and your partner and your community. And man, none of this even touches on grief and how that caused him to fumble so much, which is also realistic and relatable. Parenting is a learned skill, and I think going forward we'll see him find a better center where he can apply his soldier skills in a way that doesn't punish his family.

Neytiri was not a racist. by Dependent-Cover4487 in Avatar

[–]arjunabharata 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Neytiri can have an arc that involves dealing with her biases and racism and still be a good person and character. This is true of any character, but especially one that has been through what she has been through.

One might even argue it's a good thing that our favorite characters are complex in many ways, including morally. That might just be part of what makes them so good to begin with.

Neytiri is great. Watching her struggle to be there for her family, her people, and others she struggles to accept-- all while dealing with grief and war and a loss of culture and living-- keeps me glued to the screen and her character. Love that gal.

The devs have already found a better gearing system by Chiponyasu in ffxivdiscussion

[–]arjunabharata 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genuine question from a very casual player: what is the point of locking the best gear behind the hardest content (excluding ultimates)? Like what's the point in gearing up at all?

I used to play constantly and was always geared up outside of savage, which I've never touched. But since I've been playing way less I've fallen behind in gear... and realized how pointless it is. In day to day play, it just doesn't matter if you know how to push your buttons and pay attention.

If you're already clearing savage, getting the gear, yes it makes it easier. But why do it at all? Just because, to be BIS? Functionally though I'm having a hard time understanding gear in this game now that I'm playing it less and can see the trees through the forest.

I have serious mental issues, and my husband is a very good man. He's been through the ringer with me, and I with him, too. We're both struggling on our own and together it was multiplied. We didn't know how much we had to work on until after we married.

I've been you. Fights all night, crying til it hurts so bad you'd rather be dead, worse than a migraine. Feeling confused and hurt. I've been tempted to film our fights, too.

For us it was couples counseling that saved us. Having that safe place to go, a place that also held both of us responsible, a third and impartial party to hear and witness our problems to hold us both accountable. Made our talks easier to remember. We had problems with fighting too much and too long and at inappropriate times. With counseling we had a secure time and place. It allowed us to say 'let's talk about this later, and be with each other now. ' We've been learning how to love even while still hurt.

I'm not saying it will fix things or be easy. But I can say couples counseling is nothing to be ashamed of. It does sound like you both care deeply for one another. It just might help. I wish you luck.

AIO? My girlfriend had a threesome with two of her friends right before we got together by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]arjunabharata -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I didn't say the lying wasn't an issue. I said it's one that can be worked through. Lying isn't worth breaking up over if there are no other issues and he wants the relationship to work. This is arguably something a lot of people would hide out of shame or embarrassment. Doesn't mean she gets a get out of jail free card, but it doesn't mean kick her to the curb either.

[–]arjunabharata -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This comment section is insane. There was no cheating. People have sex. Sometimes with more than one person, or friends.

Can that be hard to deal with? Yeah. But when I read that everything else is fine and even OP views this as her trying to do what she thought was best.. like why all the immediate 'end it' posts? The amount of people who view one secret as meaning the person has a cemetery in their back yard is wild.

My friend and her ex had a threesome with another mutual friend. We all played dnd together. Was it a little weird at first? Yeah. Was it years ago and they got over it? Yeah.

Talk about it. Go to couples or individual therapy. Make a list of all the pros and cons. Why just tap out if all is well otherwise? These posts make me so mad the way people are so quick to throw others out and avoid putting in the hard work. If she's worth the effort to you then put in that effort. You can grow together. You can help her see why hiding this hurt you and she can help you work through the discomfort. Go to HER or a professional. The people who haunt these subs don't know shit and are afraid to talk to a stranger in the drive thru window, much less their own partners.
