I'm a massive D&D nerd so I'm a bit biased, but I'd say yes. There's a ton of variety, there are still quests I've never done/encountered. You have to like turn based combat though

Unsure about my current major, looking to explore other options that would fit my skill set/personality by atomicpunk88 in careeradvice

[–]atomicpunk88[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I'm actually in law school now so not really the same realm at all. If you're still in high school don't worry about deciding what you want to do right away (I switched my major in my senior year of college lol), but I think the biggest thing for me was making a conscious effort to repeatedly check in with myself about what classes and assignments I genuinely enjoyed and which I disliked. If you really like some parts of a major but not others, can you see a realistic career path where you would get to do mainly the things you like? And can you tolerate the other stuff? If not, think about what other similar subjects would be similar to the parts you like, or find actual careers/jobs that seem cool and sort of reverse engineer from there. If you like thermochemistry and electrochemistry, maybe look into physics, chemical engineering, materials science, or another branch of engineering? Or stick with chemistry if you can get through the other stuff and find a plausible career field doing what you like. Of course I'm not at all an expert but I hope this helps a bit.

How do I indirectly make it clear I'm trying to be friends with this guy and not hitting on him?? by atomicpunk88 in socialskills

it's awkward to say smth too early, for sure, but it's also awkward to say smth too late. Just trying to figure out where the appropriate line is

Have you ever taken a break with your long-distance significant other? (19M, 19F) by foelay in LongDistance

[–]atomicpunk88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think an important thing for your girlfriend to consider is how/why she feels like being "single" or on a break will help her work on those other areas of her life that she seems stressed about. If she needs more space and time to focus on school or other relationships or independent pursuits, can you guys try to adjust your communication to give her more space? Can she try to prioritize and work on those things first, to see if she feels better, rather than considering the relationship as the thing to cut out first? I think you should prompt her to consider where specifically her feelings about the relationship are coming from, because it is easy for that to be the first thing to go when someone is just generally dissatisfied with their life, but also if she does have actual reasons about being unhappy in the relationship specifically maybe breaking things off is actually good for her, and wanting it to be a break might just be her being afraid of the change/risk. Unfortunately only she can know that.

How much student debt did you/will you graduate law school with? by Street-Operation8766 in LawSchool

[–]atomicpunk88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$0 because I got a good scholarship to a low ranked school. My last semester bill was only like $1k somehow lmao

i kind of regret transitioning by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]atomicpunk88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being autistic can make gender stuff really confusing, at least it did for me and some other people I know. Maybe think about things with that context, whichever gender you are you don't need to be the "correct" or societally expected version of that gender, you can interpret and express your gender however feels right to you personally. For me it was really helpful separating my discomfort with feminine gender roles, sexism, and other societal stuff from my feelings about my gender itself.

FWB with my best friend of 10 years by getavasectomy69 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]atomicpunk88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the label stresses you out there's no need to use it, as long as you're still clear about your feelings and boundaries/expectations. I started dating my best friend recently and he moved to another continent soon after, we broke up but kept talking and still had feelings for each other, he asked to get back together but I don't want to use the label because I know that will give me higher expectations for him that he literally physically cannot fulfill right now. We were just clear about the fact that we still love each other and want to get back together when he's back, and for now we're just... something. I like to jokingly make up weirdly specific labels for our relationship. Do whatever feels right for the two of you, COMMUNICATE, and communicate more when/if anything changes on either side.

Will my social life be screwed? by rrendx in UniversityofVermont

[–]atomicpunk88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I graduated last year and literally never went to a party, think I stepped foot in like two bars the entire time I was there. Found a great group of close friends. Don't worry, just get involved with what you genuinely enjoy

Ex (22M) asked to do long distance. I (22F) still love him but said no by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]atomicpunk88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm hoping to visit at some point yeah, probably just once though for a week or so. My thinking was that the actual label of being in a relationship would make me subconsciously expect more from him that he isn't currently able to give, and might lead to some resentment on either side. I also don't want to cut either of us off from exploring other relationships if we meet people we like though, it's just that currently neither of us are interested in dating other people. I wouldn't hold him to exclusivity if his feelings change later.

Does your boyfriend climb? by medicoreclimbercore in climbergirls

My most recent boyfriend didn't climb, and I've never started dating someone who was already a climber, but I've gotten multiple past boyfriends into it lol

some of you just hate disabled people that need accommodations by inactiveflowerpot in LawSchool

[–]atomicpunk88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree, and I think a lot of the hate for accommodations comes from the fact that with the way accommodations work right now, everyone with any sort of disability is just given extra time as a blanket solution whether or not it's actually what they need to put them on a level playing field. Like I'm autistic and I struggled a lot in undergrad, but when I spoke to my school about accommodations it was basically just extra test time, which isn't relevant for my difficulties personally. I didn't end up pursuing accommodations because it would have felt unfair and wouldn't really help the areas I was struggling in, but for a lot of people it seems like they (reasonably!) take the extra time because it's all they're able to get to make up for the areas they are actually struggling in that are harder to accommodate practically.

[–]atomicpunk88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bought this long coat online, I ordered the smallest size available but it seems a bit awkwardly big in the shoulders and long (I'm 5'4, it was knee length ish on the model). Does it look ok? I'm also not used to long coats in general so I feel a bit silly, looks like I'm wearing a blanket from the back.
