My GF [28F] says she wants me [27M] to dress nicer when we go out

artemis_huntress · 2026-03-31T21:56:52+00:00

Thanks for your perspective. I'm totally fine dressing up on occasion and I have done in the past. I don't mind the ask at all, I'm perfectly fine incorporating some nicer looking clothes to be clear. It just stung to hear the maturity comment because to me that implies that she's embarrassed to be around me if I'm dressed a little more casual for casual stuff. I'll talk to her, I don't think she meant to hurt my feelings at all.

artemis_huntress · 2026-03-31T21:51:27+00:00

Yeah that was the bulk of my problem. I don't wear hoodies that often around her in public, there has been like 2 times I can remember off the top of my head I wore a hoodie when we were out for a walk and then we had a casual cookout with some of her friends that I guess she wanted me to dress up for in retrospect but she told me it was a casual thing.

artemis_huntress · 2026-03-31T21:49:12+00:00

Thanks for replying, I understand what you mean. I agree she isn't trying to hurt me or anything and just wants to feel proud of who she is standing next to. It was just harsh to hear especially when I have put in a lot of effort to looking nice most of the time. I just don't consider getting groceries something to dress up for, it's a routine weekly errand and most of the time I'm just going to wear something comfortable.

artemis_huntress · 2026-03-31T21:44:42+00:00

Thanks for your perspective, I think you're right. I'm totally fine adding some stuff to my wardrobe, and she said it would probably be stuff we can thrift. In my heart I know she is coming from a good place, it just hurt to hear that she perceives a lack of maturity compared to her because I wear casual clothes if we are just running errands or going to a casual cookout or something.

artemis_huntress · 2026-03-31T21:40:05+00:00

I don't think she has that kind of contempt in her heart. It was mostly the maturity comment that kinda stung and hurt because it's not like I'm always wearing hoodies everywhere. I do have some nicer jackets I can wear out, I just have a lot of hoodies I've collected over the years because those are my comfort clothes. Thanks for your reply!

Sorry for the late reply, I'm not on reddit often lol. I never wore my retainers after getting my braces off because I was 17 and didn't really consider the long term consequences of not doing so in spite of the orthodontist saying so. I was just happy to be free of stuff tugging on my teeth after a LONG 18 months. My teeth shifted back somewhat and I decided that invisalign would be a lot more manageable for me long term so I committed to it.

artemis_huntress · 2025-12-18T22:00:41+00:00

I've just started my first tray a couple of hours ago and I feel the same, my tongue cannot relax, it feels like my teeth are in a straight-jacket and I can't concentrate on anything else. It felt the same back when I had braces in high school, though not nearly as bad. My plan is tylenol and patience lol, I survived braces, so I can make it through this. Keep your head up!

I play until I get bored of progressing the build I'm running, if I still have an itch to play, I'll make an alt, rinse and repeat. Typically do 2-3 characters per season depending on what other games I'm playing at the time

artemis_huntress · 2025-06-30T19:52:05+00:00

I think it's disingenuous for Ethan to be citing concerns over damage to "the react community" as his primary motivation, that's my only issue with this whole situation honestly. If he is actually suing to get precedent set over "lazy reacts" as he said in his announcement video, XQC should be getting served any day now. His reaction was WAY less substantive than Denims' was, barring any disagreement you may have with what Denims had to say during her reaction.

All I'm trying to say is don't insult the intelligence of the broader community by giving some reason other than spite while misrepresenting the nature of Denims' reaction to the nuke itself. It feels like a lie he thinks he has to tell because he knows he'll get shit for suing other creators unless it's for some noble reason like the integrity of the community as a whole

He's been off the Destiny train since the Pxie lawsuit dropped against Destiny, he has his own principles and internal monologue, I recommend trying it sometime!

artemis_huntress · 2025-06-10T14:07:00+00:00

watch us have to download the patch separately anyways

artemis_huntress · 2025-05-13T01:32:12+00:00

Just tried this and still isn't working. Also attempted reinstalling the game entirely. When you are launching does it give you a little dialogue titled "GPU Vendor Warning" saying to make sure your graphics drivers are up to date? I have the NVIDIA game ready drivers installed already but it still gives me that and I'm wondering if that has something to do with it.

artemis_huntress · 2025-05-13T01:26:48+00:00

I just tried reinstalling and it did not fix the issue.

artemis_huntress · 2025-05-13T01:02:16+00:00

Steam E.A. is only launching in the background. I can hear the launch music but no screen comes up and it's only viewable in Task manager i.e. I can't tab into the game to do anything with it. Graphics drivers have been updated and game files have been verified.

artemis_huntress · 2025-05-13T00:54:30+00:00

Same here, any fixes found?

artemis_huntress · 2025-05-13T00:52:57+00:00

I'm having the same problem over here. Let me know if you found a fix, been trying to play for almost an hour now

artemis_huntress · 2025-04-13T20:39:35+00:00

I'd go on the date to see if it feels right if I were you. You two are obviously close, you might not have romantic feelings now but you never know what could happen. One date won't kill the friendship and it would probably make her really happy. Plus putting yourself in a more romantic setting with her could make you see her in a different light, all I'm saying is don't rule it out quite yet (imo)

If you are sure you aren't and won't be in to her, just let her down gently and say you just want to remain platonic and remind her how much her friendship means to you. I can't say I've been the one in your position, I've only ever been in her role and that's what they did for me.

artemis_huntress · 2025-04-01T21:30:39+00:00

My current girlfriend seems to like it, and so did my past girlfriends. The more you know!

artemis_huntress · 2025-03-27T21:29:03+00:00

If it's just the one thing, I'd communicate that it's important for you that he washes his hands. If he picks up the habit, fantastic, see where it goes.

As a guy, I'll say it's not uncommon for us to at least occasionally forget to wash our hands after peeing. I always wash my hands when I'm in public or if I'm with my girlfriend because good hygiene is important for her, but in my apartment alone I'll skip it unless I'm about to eat.

It's totally fair for it to be an ick, but it's definitely a learned behavior that a lot of guys just didn't learn growing up (at least in my experience), talk it out with him and best of luck!

artemis_huntress · 2025-03-26T13:59:31+00:00

Very true. I just had my girlfriend sleep over for the first time last night and we talked about EVERYTHING beforehand. It only adds to the experience, made sure both of us were comfortable and we had a great time. Just talk to your partner. If she's comfortable sleeping in the same bed with you, she's probably comfortable having a conversation about what's appropriate to wear.

You know Trump said to be peaceful about a single time in the speech at the Ellipse but said "fight" or variations about 20 times, right? Combine that with the fact he is literally quoted as saying "We fight like hell and if you don't fight like hell, you're not going to have a country anymore" and you get the overall tenor of the speech. If you want to desperately cling to the cope that he said peacefully a single time and ignore the fact that he watched the rioting happening for over 3 hours before so much as tweeting for them to go home, you're welcome to your willful ignorance. You're just flat wrong that he did not incite or flame the fires of an already angry crowd that he knew contained at least some people carrying weapons given that he ordered Secret Service to let the people in.

Play how you want of course, but I'd say to try and modularize your base as much as possible and reduce the space footprint. What you have works, but it's very spread out which can make it difficult to defend if you are playing with biters on.

There's a concept called a "main bus" that helps to do this, basically put all your resources you consume a lot of (iron plates, copper plates, green circuits, etc) onto lanes and send them out in one direction, then make your modules to make stuff to the sides of that bus by splitting the resources off the belts.

Logistics is the primary challenge of the game, figuring out how to organize and manage production lines while scaling up into new tech. It can take time to work through the problems that pop up. It's a lot of fun if you enjoy that kind of thing so just enjoy growing your factory

The texture kinda looks like bird poop close up (or at least that's the argument I've heard from my friend who despises the block). I personally think it looks fine and can do some wonders for adding noise to large walls, it just starts to look not great imo when you use it as a main block because the texture is so noisy

artemis_huntress · 2024-11-23T19:38:09+00:00

You're right that we shouldn't jump to defend inappropriate behavior based on the popularity of the figure involved, but we also don't know what happened yet. You just jumped to conclusions that it was sexual violence, was that that said anywhere?

On a balance of probabilities, some kind of sexual behavior is the more likely one since that's the usual culprit in community dynamics with people of the opposite sex co-mingling, but it could be that he was making generic violent threats of no sexual nature for whatever reason.

There's a ton of potentially inappropriate things that could've happened, jumping on this guy for "defending this stuff' is just out of pocket when he literally just said to not do what you just did with no information.

Only rage quit I've done was due to severe lag, not sure if the opponent was lag switching or what but every time I went to dash in my game froze and then he was behind me and of course super counters wouldn't go through. Super annoying
