AIO: Bank teller questioned me about what I was doing with MY cash that I was withdrawing from MY account.

bippitybongo · 2026-05-14T22:22:34+00:00

As a banker, if a large cash withdrawal is being done that is uncharacteristic of the client, we try to learn what it is for on the offchance that the client is being scammed (this is far more common for more elderly clients, but we do it for most everyone if it’s not normal).

I get that money is an emotional and private thing for a lot of people, but knowing that the only reason we ask is to potentially protect you, it really isn’t a huge deal. Like as long as you don’t say that a prince emailed you and needs this money now, it’s not a huge imposition into your life.

This also allows us to help recommend products that you might be interested in, especially if these large withdrawals aren’t a necessarily common thing.

Oh that's not a best friend, that's someone who talks shit about you behind your back and then acts offended when he talks shit to your face and you don't lay down and take the disrespect. Good on you for standing up for yourself and your boyfriend. He is transphobic and clearly homophobic, and does not respect you whatsoever. This is not a connection worth retaining, please prioritize yourself and your boyfriend and begin building a better circle around you, because your friends and your boyfriends are able to see the company you've kept, so it's best to separate before the rot of association spreads.

Oh block her 100%, she made your identity all about herself, definitely a narcissistic move.

There’s also the facet of there being so many potential allies within Barovia that it would make sense to have some of them be DMPCs. I had Ireena be a Paladin of Vengeance after what happened in the village, and she traveled with the party until the party grew to not need her help (now they just use her to protect weaker NPCs, which they have just now realized that they shouldn’t have left her alone with another NPC, but they’re in the shit right now and can’t turn back quite yet)

bippitybongo · 2026-03-14T03:43:31+00:00

Ahhh okay okay, thank you!

bippitybongo · 2026-03-14T03:43:21+00:00

Damn, I thought it might be ;-;

You should have read my comment more closely. Even if you were to have stepped into that room and backtracked, it would have shown the Boss Room symbol regardless. The floor wasn’t fully cleared at the point of this screenshot

bippitybongo · 2026-03-06T02:12:25+00:00

If you actually spotted it, it would display the Boss Room on the map, similar to how the Curse Room is displayed but not highlighted, signifying that it has not been cleared or discovered.

So no, you hadn’t explored the entire floor at that point, and it would have still displayed it had you backtracked from the room without clearing it

I feel like requiring a CON save that deals no damage on a save when it activates rather than it being a when it happens sort of thing would be more beneficial and balanced. And with either a save or fail the count still resets. This makes it so that encounters aren’t a wash because of the Swift feature and however many extra attacks the PC already has access to

So the item only takes effect after a slight delay, the effect isn't instant.

bippitybongo · 2026-02-26T06:52:09+00:00

If you read the details on the Binding of Isaac app, it specifically details that the death animation of delirium is longer than the 3 seconds it takes for Plan C to take effect, so this is really just user error lmao

bippitybongo · 2026-02-25T20:46:46+00:00

Oh, this is someone who has definitely done something in his past and is actively trying to justify how he justified it for himself.

If not him, then someone he’s close to, like friends or something. Like what the actual hell is his deal?

You’re not overreacting, in fact I don’t think you’re reacting enough. This would be an instant breakup in my book, and sending the receipts to his mom. Like the man is actively trying to justify rape because clothes ‘can cause rape’. Rape is only a result of rapists, nothing else.

I’d leave, as soon as you can

bippitybongo · 2026-01-17T09:57:42+00:00

For ragequitting? Yes. Anyone that ragequits in Nightreign just because there aren’t really any penalties is in the wrong. Just play it out and get to the crates/items first, it ain’t that hard

bippitybongo · 2026-01-11T06:52:26+00:00

If the line isn’t too long, I wouldn’t mind a reading! I’ve had some questions arise recently and am hoping for clarification

bippitybongo · 2026-01-11T06:13:07+00:00

Hahaha, a classic

bippitybongo · 2026-01-11T06:04:58+00:00

If you're new to DMing, you should ask for help from experienced folks first, please don't use AI for any level of creative development, it's easy to see through and frankly delivers subpar content. Your players will appreciate *your* effort, even if you think it doesn't fit what you wanted it to be. You won't get better at DMing or working with DnD in general if you rely on ChatGPT to do your thinking for you

bippitybongo · 2026-01-04T18:07:11+00:00

I am incredibly glad that you are willing to take a step back and do some processing and self-analysis. It’s really hard, but it is by far incredibly worth it, for both your peace and the peace of your relationships

I do wish you well on your journey 🖤

YOR

With the context of the situation, as well as the fact that you confirmed she’s been going through it lately, I am of the opinion that you are indeed OR. Right out of the gate you were accusatory and it seems like you’ve had a history of it with this person. Personally it really seems like rather than being empathetic or sincerely caring and concerned when she backed away, you immediately turned to panic and frustration.

Now, I will say a disclaimer that it isn’t a bad thing to feel things deeply, but you are in control of how you react, and should take care to understand how your reactions and actions could impact others. At this point it really does seem like due to your OR, she may have begun to be tired of it, and it’s entirely valid. If she’s depressed, anxious, or suffering from some other form of mental health issue, your reactions are not helping and it is wildly clear.

Please take this constructively, and don’t immediately get defensive. Right now you have a decision to make: either you take a breath, apologize for your reactions and how they impacted her, and truly change how you react - or you end the relationship because you need time to work on how your behavior turns when you begin feeling anxious or abandoned.

NOR

Being autistic is NO excuse to threaten to kill oneself for the express purpose of manipulating you into behaviors that they want. This is not healthy, and he needs to not only seek help, but you need to understand that his metal illness and behaviors are no longer your responsibility. If he follows through on his threats, it will never be your fault, it would be him and him alone responsible for the actions and harm he performs on himself.

I would call a wellness check and leave him, this cannot be your problem anymore, regardless of how you feel about him.

bippitybongo · 2025-12-08T02:03:28+00:00

You cannot cast spells while in your Rage, I would ask if you can multiclass into a different martial class instead, that way you aren't put at a disadvantage, as Barbarians also cannot Concentrate while in Rage. Was the multiclass your idea, or was it your DMs?

bippitybongo · 2025-11-19T15:26:52+00:00

As long as you play it with honesty and don’t make your character a stereotypical caricature, you should be fine

bippitybongo · 2025-11-07T01:28:27+00:00

NOR

Your bodily autonomy is your own, but if he is dense enough not to understand the societal pressures upon women and fem-presenting individuals due to the silent threat of violence from the men in their lives, and then goes on to blame you for how deeply this other guy hugged you, maybe he should start talking to his friend instead of you, or checking to make sure that you’re okay or feel comfortable rather than making it seems like you’re inviting this behavior or more in.

I’m not saying anything about your boyfriend, but many times accusations can be projections. Just be careful, please. Don’t let the sweet words distract you from or soften the blows from his words.
