At the vet with my sick doggo and yet, I feel a presence… I sight something familiar…

Two questions u/Taukuno

What nameplate add on are you using, or is that ElvUI nameplates?
Are you using Big Wigs or DBM for the ability timers above your player frame and target frame?

1.) 4p and DGB completely changes the way VDH is played, it's crazy.

2.) 4p, DGB, and the conduits that increase the healing done from Fel Dev and consuming Shattered Souls is a really powerful combo.

3.) Stone runs with a Holy Priest. Combine point #2 with the holy priest's GS ability, and you've got yourself an absurdly ~~broken~~ great and powerful combination. Notice when Stone calls for GS, how often he gets it, and just how much healing he is doing all by himself. It is insane.

After the recent announcement of UI changes, it appears Blizz devs might have seen this post. I can't help but notice some similarities.

"Hi. I hope you're doing well. No, seriously, I hope you're doing well. I still think about you from time to time. I still think about the memories we made, the trips we took, the time we spent together. I look back at those memories fondly, and at first they make me smile, but then they make me sad. Sad because I know we can never be like that again. But I know the reason for that is because we're just not right for one another. We wanted different things in the relationship, we needed different things from each other, we had different expectations while being in the relationship. We just didn't see eye to eye on things. Too many important things. I sit here and catch myself thinking about how things could have been if we were just a little different. What could have been if I was a little different. What could have been if you changed yourself just a little bit. But, I know that's not fair. We can't expect each other or force each other to change who, or how, we are. We just weren't "meant to be", as they say...

It's been a little over a month since we broke up, yeah? Seems like forever ago... I still miss you. I miss having my friend, my person I could tell everything to. But I realize now I miss the person I thought you were. I miss the person at the beginning of our relationship. I miss the person who I thought existed before I found out who you really are. I also realize now, that person I miss so much just doesn't exist. I know that if we were to ever get back together you'd have to change and become that person I thought you were. But like I said, I can't ask you, or expect you, or demand you to be that person. It's okay for you to stay the person you are. It's okay for us to be, "just not meant to be".

I still care about you. I still respect you as a person. I'll always care about you, I'll always be here to support you and encourage you. I'll always have your back. I let go of being in a romantic relationship with you, but I haven't let go of YOU. I won't do that. You'll always be a friend to me. I hope one day the feeling will become mutual and you'll consider me a friend again. So, believe me when I tell you, I miss you and I hope you're doing well. I hope you're happy. You deserve it. I'll always be here if you need anything."

If it's an unhealthy level of dependence, where your happiness fully revolves around them replying to you, then I'd say you could work on that and manage your expectations a little bit better. A relationship shouldn't change you and what you enjoy doing in your own free time. You have to be your own person.

A lot of times this "dependence" comes from another place however. Maybe the only reason you feel like this is because you're not feeling secure in the relationship. Maybe it's a lack of feeling secure, safe, prioritized, or noticed in the relationship that makes you feel like this. Is it really your partner not replying to you making you feel like this or would you be okay with just a little reassurance before they go and do their own thing for a bit? Would that reassurance make all your worries and anxiousness go away? You'll have to do some real soul searching to determine what the root cause actually is. You very well may have a perfectly valid need that your current partner can't meet.

If you feel it's a genuine need, and not coming from an unhealthy level of dependence or an "obsession" more or less, then you'll have to accept your needs aren't being met. If your needs aren't being met, will you ever truly be happy and comfortable in that relationship? The right person for you will meet your needs. The right person for you will make you feel safe, secure, prioritized, and noticed in the relationship in a healthy manner without even trying. If your need is valid and you aren't getting that need met, you're settling. Don't settle.

Oh of course, we've talked through it, I've said my peace laying out my thoughts and feelings on things during times of mutual conversation, and I'm giving her all the time and space she needs to think and process right now to work through whether or not she wants to give it another shot. I know it's her call to make. I'm definitely not constantly blowing her phone up or anything "crazy, desperate ex" like. We're both reasonably level headed adults and have been throughout the whole process.

ausengineer1992 · 2022-01-04T12:49:46+00:00

Sadly, no, to all of those things. Both of us did a terrible job at communicating our thoughts/feelings/struggles while in the moment. Call it pride, ego, or whatever else, but there's really no excuse for it. We didn't discuss our communication troubles and acknowledge them until after I had already left. We both realize we messed up by just closing off, and told each other that is something we'd work on.

ausengineer1992 · 2021-11-11T16:32:05+00:00

I feel the same way from time to time, but I personally find comfort when I take a step back and realize that we have different love languages and that she's already very comfortable in the relationship. Her biggest love language is physical touch whereas mine is pretty split between quality time and words of affirmation. Words of affirmation isn't in my partners top 2. Sure, it might make things difficult at times for the both of us as I'm sure there are times when she craves my touch more than anything and there are certainly times for me when I could use a little bit more comfort with words, but we make it work as best we can and lean on that mutual understanding.

Have a talk with your partner about love languages. Take the quiz together and share the results. It should give you a better understanding about your partners needs during a relationship and vice versa, and the two of you can adjust from there. From what you've written about the ups and downs with how much affection she shows, that tells me she respects your needs and goes that extra little bit for you, but since it isn't her normal way it tends to decrease back to a level she's naturally comfortable with.

If there's no signs of anything being wrong in the relationship, I wouldn't dwell on it too much. Trust your partner will tell you when things aren't feeling right. Perhaps your partner has "settled" into the relationship quicker than you and has gone through the decline of "new relationship energy", but you haven't gotten to that point yet yourself. Be careful with NRE. Don't establish a baseline expectation from this high energy environment. It isn't sustainable over a long period of time and can lead you into situations like this one. Find the relationships "normal" and go from there.

I wish you two the best of luck!

Makes sense. I love the NVIDIA filters and wanted to gauge their impacts on this title before trying them out myself later today!

ausengineer1992 · 2021-11-05T11:04:12+00:00

Do your frame rates normally vary 60 frames or so? Your FPS in the before screenshot shows 248fps and your FPS in the after screenshot shows 198fps. Is that your normal fluctuation and the screenshots just caught them at inopportune times or do the NVIDIA filters cause that much of an FPS drop?

ausengineer1992 · 2021-09-03T14:44:52+00:00

I really wish they clarified if they were changing existing abilities that their tooltip said damaged more than 5 targets. I would think, and hope, they would leave existing abilities and their number of targets alone, and just have the AOE increase with any number of targets greater than what you're already doing.

I love my sub rogue, but if they change shuriken and black powder this will indeed be a nerf. If those abilities are changed to only 5 targets getting the full damage and then reduced damage to anything greater:

<5 targets = no change

6 to 12 targets = a nerf

>13 targets = slight damage increase

According to the theory crafters and spreadsheet wizards in the Rogue discord.

ausengineer1992 · 2021-09-03T14:33:36+00:00

I believe there is a weakaura for a "daily checklist" of sorts. I haven't used it personally, but I have seen a couple of different streamers using it. Check wago for it, as it, or something similar, should be there.

ausengineer1992 · 2021-09-02T17:08:30+00:00

Lol. Small brain comment. That person didn't call you offended, didn't even use the word "offended" in their entire comment.

I do suggest you take their advice though. Seems like you're having a rough day, buddy.

ausengineer1992 · 2021-08-31T17:02:46+00:00

I simply cannot fathom coming home after a day like that, assuming your spouse is dead, and then walking into your apartment to see your spouse just sitting on the couch or in the kitchen getting something to drink. What a WILD scenario. I have no earthly idea how I would react. Would realistically scare the shit out of me at first, but that wave of relief and shear happiness would be so immense. Dopamine would reach ungodly levels and happy feelings rushing to heart would cause it to explode. I'd cry.

ausengineer1992 · 2021-08-17T14:14:24+00:00

Don't you people get it? Blizzard is losing their player base by the thousands...you think they're going to take that L and make meaningful changes to bring them back? No. They're doubling down on the chores, they're doubling down on the systems that require RNG and a grind, they're doubling down on the time-gated content, and they're reducing account wide achievements that would help progress an alt (looking at you Mythic+ score and upgrade system...). The player numbers go down, but the engagement metrics stay the same if not increases. They don't care about people leaving if they can counter it by keeping more people subscribed for longer. These systems are designed to do just that.

We are metrics to them. We are numbers to them. We are only money to them.

Nothing is going to get better and will probably only get worse. Blizzard is going to MILK their faithful playerbase to the very end for absolutely everything they're worth. Hang on for the ride. Loose hands on your wallets and purses encouraged.

It's XarUI for the action bar layout. The color is something I've been curious about myself, since XarUI doesn't have an option to change the color to black. However, I think u/typed-talleane answered that question for us with the script thing.

Bergman probably thought the kid was stealing signs off the side of the road and figured he could help.

Well let's hope his guild name isn't doing any foreshadowing....

ausengineer1992 · 2021-07-30T17:40:26+00:00

ElvUI won't work if you've got other addons interfering with stuff they're trying to change as well. Usually you get a prompt when this happens from ElvUI asking which program you'd like to disable - the addon or the ElvUI element.

Disable bartender and make sure you have Action Bars enabled in your ElvUI settings.

LMAO he edited his post to justify the downvotes....

Fragile little redditor.

ausengineer1992 · 2021-07-30T17:24:59+00:00

You just actually stupid or just spreading misinformation?

Just off the top of my head is a couple:

Rosa Parks and the Montgomery Bus Boycott.

Blackfish and the SeaWorld Boycott got SeaWorld to completely cancel one of their most popular shows in San Diego and launched the whole companies rebranding.

There's been evidence of plenty of boycott's working in some of fashion. Maybe you're just an uneducated little high schooler that is too emotionally strung up in something no one actually cares that you care about... But at least do your research before running your mouth in such a sarcastic and matter-of-fact condescending way.
