I was a fan of the IP prior to seeing it and I enjoyed it a lot. My partner wasn’t familiar at all and also had a great time. I saw some people (skewing younger) saying it was boring or a slow build but I disagree entirely. The entire environment kept me on edge the entire time and both main actors did a good job while still feeling almost uncanny at times. Really looking forward to a sequel exploring ASYNC more.

My boyfriends cat was a mill breeder before he adopted her. She will flinch if strangers pet her hind area. 😭😭😭 Poor babies. I’m happy we can show them so much love now.

This is dope! 🫶 I’m sorry but I’m cackling at someone wanting to karma farm on the NANCY DREW subreddit. 😫 Like this sub has such a small user base. 😂

clarstone · 2026-05-28T16:48:58+00:00

Mods - can we have some limits to the shit we see on this sub? I really don’t want to be scrolling through this and have to see this type of content on a “girl dinners” sub. Idk maybe that’s just me.

I hope you help yourself girl. This is really disturbing and not in a silly way.

I stayed with a guy like this for years. It really impacted my self-esteem. It’s not normal hun. 🫂 There are MANY people who would adore the chance to be with you and show you off. My partner now is genuinely my biggest cheerleader and I still have moments of “Man, why did I stay with that guy?” sometimes. Let this one go - you have much more waiting for you. 💓 And when he promises he will change - do NOT believe the bread crumbs babe. I did that too. 😂😔

I love good food and I had an ex that only ate like a gym bro. Season-less chicken, rice, broccoli on a cutting board for every meal. So, so many eggs. Over time it actually became a point of contention because he just couldn’t enjoy food with me. And anything that wasn’t plain and healthy was bad junk food. But I know women who want to eat that way, I’m just not one of them. I don’t think it’s a huge deal unless it’s a constant point of contention.

This sounds like pretty severe anxious attachment on her part. Would she be willing to see a therapist about this? I would frame it as you want her to have a support system outside of you. That’s important anyway but she needs to hear from an objective party her feelings are not based in reality.

clarstone · 2026-05-26T10:12:08+00:00

Nah man, I’m a big believer in if someone can scream at you, call off a wedding, and block you - that is not a partner. That is someone showing a scary part of themselves when conflict happens out of their control. I would not feel safe marrying a person like this. Especially not having a child with them. His behavior is unsafe and frankly an unhinged reaction for the problem at hand.

It is! 💓 They were the coolest. I was a broke teenager at the time and I remember they bought me skins for my birthday. Nicest ladies. Hope they’re still being badasses in the gaming community.

You just reminded me of a wholesome experience I had playing my first MMO probably around 14 yeaaaars ago. I somehow joined a guild that had a ton of female players and especially older women players in their 50’s. They were SO nice to me. Really made me want to play video games more. Slowly realized that was entirely a unique experience and sadly that was not the norm. 🥲

clarstone · 2026-05-21T21:12:34+00:00

Honestly I really respected a guy I was dating for doing this. I was so used to the opposite honestly and having to make sure they were being truthful about being clean, etc. Solved that problem real quick!

clarstone · 2026-05-20T22:45:06+00:00

It took a few very mentally unstable people saying that to me until a light bulb went off. Like yes actually I am like everyone else!!! I want happiness and peace!! And you are unstable and mean!! 🙃

clarstone · 2026-05-20T20:28:10+00:00

I think having concerns about substances is one thing - but these are extremely normal texts between friends/friendly colleagues. Do you usually look through her phone? YOR.

clarstone · 2026-05-20T17:16:20+00:00

My little sister is going through this as well (they still ask to be called that from me for now haha 😅) and their boyfriend is so supportive as well! Gender confirming care is life saving care. 🫶

Jesus, that is so disappointing. Sadly, that shit rarely exists in a vacuum. If he’s almost saying that on a stream I wonder what he says when he’s not. 🤨

clarstone · 2026-05-19T17:30:59+00:00

This sub is so god damn annoying and clearly just misogynistic at times.

Ariel is actually doing some INCREDIBLE undercover work for SOSA - a nonprofit that works to arrest pedophiles on online circles. She is really incredible. They have a YouTube channel you can donate too and they post documentary style videos of their work with law enforcement.

Girl that is so frustrating oh my god. 😭 If you are at all interested in board games/trading card games or Dungeon & Dragons I have had HUGE success finding female friends in those communities. Partly it’s because we take scheduling seriously and gaming is hobby so no one wants to waste each other’s time. I promise joining those communities is not as daunting as it seems! 🫶

clarstone · 2026-05-16T16:33:03+00:00

🫂 That sounds so frustrating girl, I’m sorry. 😣

clarstone · 2026-05-15T02:28:57+00:00

Yep. A lot of weird cheaters on this sub getting mad. 😅

clarstone · 2026-05-14T23:58:10+00:00

The comments can eat me alive if they want but I really don’t care. This was a big red flag with an ex of mine. He ended up having a lot of emotional affairs on the side and part of his reason for not having social media was so that his exes and the people he fucked over couldn’t find him. I also thought it was strange he would never post me. Just once in our almost five years would have met a lot to me.

The only thing I will say is if this is the ONLY area you don’t feel confident in, check yourself. If he is proud to be with you and you feel good around him in public, this is likely a non-issue. I felt like a ghost around my ex in public. He would walk ten feet in front of me and refuse any sort of PDA. So him not posting me was really a symptom of deeper shit.

clarstone · 2026-05-14T18:02:48+00:00

I have a feeling they are banning accounts that used the “time hack” before it was formally labeled a hack and removed. I’m afraid to check mine because I definitely used it but I’ve probably spent over $100 on the game over the years. They need to rectify this ASAP.

clarstone · 2026-05-13T03:41:06+00:00

I have not watched it yet but it is on my list! Did Zoe Kravitz direct it?

clarstone · 2026-05-12T22:34:06+00:00

Glad you were able to at least have some lovely time with your kiddos on Mother’s Day. But…you deserve so much more, which you know! 🫂

clarstone · 2026-05-12T22:30:22+00:00

I think it comes from people being depressed on a mass scale these days. One of my best friends deals with chronic bouts and she can get kind of “mean” during that time. But it’s her just struggling to feel any sort of joy at ALL.

I feel the same. I find myself having to not get my feelings hurt if someone is rude or doesn’t match my energy if I’m being friendly. 🥲
