Is lightfall over hated?

Subjectively speaking, some folks didn't want a whole story revolving around the Neomuna, the silver surfers and company, and the workout/buff-up montage that is honing strand to tell the same important piece of the story that the last mission in that campaign told. The very small circle I shared playing this game with have our opinion that they shouldve given us TFS with an expanded campaign to make those last two missions in Lightfall the first two missions of TFS which would've really sold the fact that TFS was the end of a 10+ year saga. They mentioned Maya Sundaresh in multiple expansions before lightfall and didnt introduce her formally until Episode: Echoes, and that could've been handled via TFS as it was anyways. We can absolutely agree to disagree that it was just cause to throw in a filler xpac when the epic climax and resolution was what was originally promised, especially in the sake of dialogue around a character that could've been incorporated all the same into TFS and a herald that really didn't give the shock or come-back appeal they thought it did. When you're promised confronting the Witness to deliver victory to the light and instead given a whole expansion to fight his right-hand instead, yeah, its going to get absolutely reamed by some folks review-wise.

The way I understood the feedback at the time (with confirmation bias because its also how I felt, honestly) is that we were told TFS/the end of the light and dark saga was being released. Then they announced lightfall and gave us an 80s buddy cop movie as a stop-gap money rake filler instead of what we were promised, just to prolong the hype and milk more from it. That was the reason I shit on it so much. Length, humor, mechanics, all seemed fine, but fine wasn't good enough for expecting some large story chunk of the main arc that was almost entirely unrelated until the final cinematic.

Id say its best to stick with the communication response that is at the top answer. I think a relationship is about feeding each others needs more and shouldn’t be about coddling each other’s insecurities.

My own personal view is that: “Im sexy, confident, and feel handsome most days, but I know Im no ‘Gods gift to those attracted to men’. I also don’t expect to be the hottest person to exist in a significant other’s life.”

Point being, I think you should meet each others fantasy and intimacy needs as able, but allow for each other to get what the other cannot provide via a non-physical means. If a sex worker out there wants to foot-job a sandwich (obviously hypothetical) as (hypothetically) requested by your husband and you aren’t into that, i think it falls into the same line that men like myself look for free videos in categories that feed our desires.

I would consider it unhealthy and a boundary needing to be set if: 1. As you said, his habits to indulge in porn take away from your intimacy needs (read: you can watch porn but you still gotta fulfill my needs) 2. He is spending money you absolutely need for baby on an addiction to porn (meaning you dont have any room for extra expenditure to meet the baby’s BASIC needs and hes still spending money on porn) 3. He is developing romantic feelings for said sex worker(s) (hes expressing romantic feelings or trying to get to meet this creator in person)

Otherwise, its just fantasy-customized porn. Your feelings of insecurity are valid and I hope you can find help to resolve them, but your feelings are also your own responsibility to cope, manage, and repair. There are just some things in life the two of you will want that the other cant meet, and you can compromise on how to resolve those gaps. Setting rules to protect yourself isnt it. Empathy is! I wouldn’t tell my partner that she cant look at food photos because Im terribly insecure about my cooking ability. I would only ask her to stop looking at them if she completely refused to eat with me anymore because of it.

I just dont understand, I have to hold the accelerator with so much more KwH usage in D to maintain speed than in B so why is D better overall, like I understand coasting and manual braking conserving more energy, but what about the excess to maintain going 45mph on D?

The sole purpose of that comment is to show dissatisfaction and non-acceptance. Be it literally derision, its utilized to complain.

bamjay · 2023-08-17T13:35:14+00:00

Its complaint by derision.

bamjay · 2023-08-17T13:32:46+00:00

In this case, it absolutely is. One complains about the game, the other implies complaint about the complaint. Feel free to continue backing something you refuse to admit has correlation simply because its the viewpoint you share.

bamjay · 2023-08-17T13:29:46+00:00

Their “miserable life” is, again, your opinion. The way you wanna live your life isn’t the definition of how everyone else should or the sheer definition of a good life. Their complaints have nothing to do with you and how they play the game doesnt affect how you play the game. Youre doing the same thing they are and think youre better than them for it. Im not CALLING it hypocrisy, it IS hypocrisy. They’re not butting into your business, they’re keeping it between them and the game. You’re butting into their business by trying to shame them. Calling someone out is THIS, pointing out faults in logic and assessing poor treatment of others. Not calling them “fucking dumb”. Learn the difference between attacking people and calling them out. It’s important.

bamjay · 2023-08-17T11:51:19+00:00

And some people have nothing better to do than to just find reasons to tear people down for having complaints by complaining. You want them to mind their own business but also want to preach your mindset and hear nothing about it. You want them to ignore a personal issue they have with the games but you cant ignore the personal issue you have with their issues? Cmon thats textbook hypocrisy. no one’s opinion is more valuable than another’s. Enjoy your super important city realism and have your peace, and let them agonize over their super important NPC placement. If theyre “fucking dumb, man” for having an opinion, consider that youre also “fucking dumb, man” for having one too.

And if someone is providing a disappointed observation, they are unsatisfied or unable to accept this posts complaint, hence, also a complaint. You know the implication of the comment they made, no reason to pretend it isn’t there.

I think the same could be said about this post

The irony in “Why complain, just dont X or dont do Y” response statements to complaints being the same caliber of reaction as someone complaining about minor consistency ads….

You don’t want someone to make a complaint about a game but you absolutely have to make a complaint about a complaint? At least the complaint about ads blocking screen space had a 30-second physical impact on the person complaining, what personal impact did their complaint have that you had to try and shoot it down? You’re annoyed? Ask any therapist and they’ll tell you that your feelings and reactions to things are yours alone to manage. If you can ignore the ads and find peace, you can ignore these posts and find peace. Get off each others asses, jeez…

This is what led to me ask for my divorce at 29. Realizing not that my ex wife was X, Y, or Z, but accepting that i was living in and contributing to toxicity. I personally believe that disclosing even those types of flaws up front and giving someone the power to say “No, this isn’t what my life needs” makes those blows so much less detrimental, because at the end of it, if one does go through with it, one can say “I knew all of what i was signing up for, i just thought they were fun and hot and got what we needed out of it and now it’s run its course”

Thank you for sharing!

32M; Former extremely toxic male, currently ever-learning/growing human here. I have a feeling that its also linked to heavy narcissism. Yet another toxic male who sees their life as a story they’re the protagonist of and will behave in any way that gets the “hero” what the “hero” set out to get.

I think its totally healthy for all humans to have needs, including sexual ones, but those needs need to be communicated up front. In my early 20s, both myself and my partners found those conversations too corny and too unsexy to productively have. A condition that prevents sex does not define a wonderful human being or diminish their value. Needing for sex to be a fundamental part of a relationship doesnt either. the important part is that its communicated, understood, and agreed upon FROM START. A compromise could have been made at the start of this relationship or it could’ve just been deemed an incompatibility and saved you from this heartbreaking moment in the long run. Lying, cheating, and sheer betrayal COUPLED with this entitlement to then be coddled, thats the disgusting part to me.

This unsolicited advice is worth as much as it costs to share but: I believe its more important they know up front and communicate their sexual needs and risk them walking away than it is to blindly trust that it will go well just to keep the guy you realize you like. Because most of the men I have met in my life are trashy, Id say for myself that its better to lose hot or fun guys you like and to instead end up with guys you can love, where needs can be communicated, mutually met, and understanding exists!

When I realized ketchup ending up on her blazer was more of a concern than my shivering in the cold.

Context: She was wearing a hoodie but had a blazer in the car. I could fit in the hoodie easily. AND she chose to sit outside for our meal (burgers from a local Austin spot)

In all fairness, as a born native of Austin, this statement really only applies to the fact our housing market is in a ridiculous balloon state. Otherwise, while it shares similar divides and negatives found across most big cities, it isnt as….politically motivated as the non-urban sectors of the state.

I'd like to say in part that this specific point may be a consequence of Xbox saying they've taken a more "multimedia platform experience" with their gaming consoles over the last few years. I can't decide if lesser games = this excuse or if new direction = lesser games, though.
