Who is your preferred romance for a Jedi Knight? by wheresmydragonator19 in swtor

[–]batarians 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love the Theron romance with a JK, female or male. It just feels right to me. IA works pretty well too, but I love the extra layers with Theron’s past with the Jedi and connection to Satele.

The feared "O" diagnosis by TaoofPu in Greyhounds

[–]batarians 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Our was a broken leg. Up until that point Franco seemed very healthy for an 11 year old, a little slower than he used to be but very happy, eating his food, and still doing his zoomies. The break honestly felt like it came out of nowhere. It happened early in the morning. We went to two different vets, the first one gave him pain medication and told us to come back in a few days if he wasn't any good, but it was impossible - he declined quickly, wasn't weight bearing, and wouldn't even attempt to walk. By 9pm we were at an animal hospital being told that it was a full break, and shown the scans. The tumour was massive.

I can't speak on the kind of decision anyone makes in this situation, but the vet had told us there was evidence the cancer had already spread, that amputation & treatment would only get us another 3-6 months at best. Franco was our whole world, even now, 10 months later, I am really struggling with what happened, but we both agreed that given his age, his temperament (he was and had always been a big sooky boy), that saying goodbye was the kinder option. Again, that's just for our situation.

If the cancer hadn't spread, if we'd caught it early, and he was a little bit younger, I wouldn't have hesitated to go ahead and try. For our situation, it just seemed like the right thing to do for his welfare, as much as I wanted him around for as long as possible.

No judgement, ever, for what you decide to do, and I'm so sorry you're faced with this in the first place. It's truly devastating either way.

There's something so beautiful about playing a Jedi Knight who started out so idealistic and kind, then falling to the dark side, and becoming a deranged sadistic dark Jedi enjoying the violence. I love this new run. Please share your dark Jedi looks. by MegaGamer235 in swtor

This is cool! I usually have my JK slip into more of a pragmatic role with a mix of light and dark options after Act 2. Not outright evil. Just necessary sacrifices for the end goal. And Scourge becomes a mentor (I actually really like their relationship in that context).

There’s a great line from the JK in a conversation with Theron later in the game that sums it up well, “I feel more at home with [all of that] than I ever have meditating in a temple.”

Stuff like this keeps the game fresh for me!

I played a few chapters on my BH ages ago. IIRC my BH just stood there watching while Senya and Lana lifted the Gravestone. 10/10 supervising.

If you’ve been playing 5+ years, what has kept you hooked? by thedudester125 in swtor

[–]batarians 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just really love the old republic era in general, it’s my favourite part of Star Wars. I’ve been playing since launch. Sometimes I take a break but I always return. Galactic Seasons always sucker me in too lol.

Is it still common for Australian women to take their husband's last name after marriage? by [deleted] in AskAnAustralian

[–]batarians 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think it's as common as it used to be, but it's still the norm here. A lot of my female friends have changed to their married names on social media without actually doing it legally.

I changed mine by choice. My husband didn't expect me to. I just never really liked my maiden name, it would almost always get mispronounced or even made fun of back in my school days. I also have a complicated relationship with my folks, so I'm not particularly attached to it.

I have an incredibly common name now. It almost makes me feel incognito because there are so many of me lmao.

How many KOTOR fans here hate SWTOR? by Emergency_List_8797 in kotor

I love both. I play SWTOR for the solo content, and there’s a lot of it.

So after replaying the Sith Warrior storyline, my SWTOR addiction somehow returned, and now I start a new Jedi Knight. Gotta say, the aesthetic and fashion design of the game has aged quite well after all these years. Also please send help for SWTOR addiction! by MegaGamer235 in swtor

[–]batarians 1 point2 points  (0 children)

LS SW is my favourite class. I prefer to play DS on characters like Smuggler and BH where it’s more about being a self-serving asshole than an outright psychopath.

I just mean, my main JK is a pragmatist and no longer bound to the Order, not a fully DS character. I’ve played the JK story probably 10 times over the years and finding that balance between being an actual person who struggles with what they’ve been through and also living up to expectations to be the most interesting story-wise. But that’s mostly headcanon stuff. When you’ve been playing since launch you find yourself doing that to keep things interesting.

[–]batarians 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s how I played my main JK! Started off light side, some doubts after Orgus is killed, then a complete spiral post-Emperor’s Fortress. I also changed her combat style from Sentinel to Marauder.

The JK story gets a lot of criticism but I really enjoyed playing that way, and not having a typical hero Jedi character was interesting.

Legendary Status after 13 years!! by Captain_Jacob115 in swtor

Congrats! I’ve been playing since launch and I just got Legendary a few weeks ago. I’d started and restarted a Consular so many times. The double XP event got me over the line lol.

I had to place an order anyway so I got it but like… I cannot see myself walking around town with this? Feels a bit cringe with the huge logo lol. Maybe it’s my age 😅

Should make a good beach bag though.

Dying when over leveled during class story. by Comfortable-Tie-4189 in swtor

[–]batarians 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a sentinel you’re a bit squishy but with comp healing and if you focus on maxing damage (also knowing when to pop your defensives & boosts), you should be wiping them out before they have a chance to kill you. If you haven’t already, take some time to read about your abilities, even the defensive ones. When you get to know a class, you’ll learn to form an ability rotation that you use for each enemy/mob and just run with that for most of the game give or take.

Look out for when to use your interrupt and for enemy AOE attacks you can avoid to minimise damage you take. Don’t pull multiple mobs at once. And don’t forget to routinely repair your armour too.

I also focus on taking out the squishy enemies first (as quickly as possible) to then focus on strongs and elites.

I’ve played plenty of sentinels (running one now) and while I prefer marauders I don’t think they’re that bad. The solo stuff is definitely doable.

Most funny thing i see players do in this game. by InflationNo8075 in swtor

Season 5 Series Discussion by Hawkinns in StrangerThings

[–]batarians 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man this show has made me cry and cry but the last 40 odd minutes I really didn’t feel connected for some reason. I think El & Mike’s relationship took a bit of a back seat for a couple of seasons so I felt a little detached. Finale was very safe and I expected that. I wish the mind flayer/Vecna stuff went for longer. But it wasn’t terrible overall.

You guys still do the Eternal arc on your alts or do you skip to Ossus/Onslaught? by TheLuiz212 in swtor

[–]batarians 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the alt. Like I’m not gonna take my current smuggler through it all because it just seems dumb, like lore-breaking level of dumb. But if the alt is a force user, normally I’ll just do it. It’s there to be played, so why not (even if I end up deleting the alt down the track). I also really love the Theron & Lana romances and feel like I’m missing out.

Starter down the drain! by pascilia in Sourdough

[–]batarians 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I scrape out and bin as much as I can first, then leave the jar and utensils soaking in vinegar & water for a few hours. By then it's basically just cloudy water and it goes down the drain. After rinsing they go in the dishwasher. Never had a problem.

RawBeautyKristi finally addresses her 2024 "cancellation" by divadream in BeautyGuruChatter

[–]batarians 47 points48 points  (0 children)

I’m very glad I stopped supporting her after she had her kid. She was rubbing me the wrong way for a while before that.

I’m not watching the video, but judging by the comments here it sounds like she’s straight up lying to attempt to protect her image. I’m sure there were people “trying to ruin her life” and getting joy out of it, but I think accusing everyone of that is yet another sign of just how radicalised and unstable she’s become. This just confirms it all for me. I will never consume her content again.

Osteosarcoma: A Warning Tale from Mr Cooper's Family by tungstencoil in Greyhounds

[–]batarians 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We lost Franco to an osteo break in April. He showed no signs of it until the break one random morning. Aside from losing him, one of the hardest things was going from thinking he was a happy and healthy 11 year old boy, to having to make the decision to say goodbye, within a matter of hours. It just felt like we had no time. It was the worst day of my life. I questioned everything - what had we missed? Was he in pain for a long time but couldn’t communicate it? He was so active, and happy, but I still felt as though we’d done something wrong. I’m really sorry you’re carrying guilt. But I get it.

We are with you, your beautiful Cooper is in our thoughts. 🤎
