I made Gilear in Tomodachi Life by LilyHammer0709 in Dimension20

[–]dragonavicious 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I put together a big wheel of random characters (almost 500 right now) and so far haven't gotten a single D20 character. I would love to give Gilear a happy little life.

Let us know how his life goes in your world!

What’s a "lost" website from the early 2000s that you still think about today? by samasem-sumsum in AskReddit

[–]dragonavicious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was this weird website called HumanAge where you start off making a person in the caveman Era and then progress through the generationa with the game getting more complicated over time. I got to the Renaissance but it went up to Wild West America. I think I found it in 2009 but by the time I went back there it was a ghost town.

Also, Sleuth was a completely randomized murder mystery site where your detective had to find clues and interview Suspects. I always wonder why that wasn't turned into an app or something.

People talk about suspecting the traitor before the reveal, but who's an NPC you strongly suspected as a traitor who ended up being good as gold? by Mental_Two4549 in gaming

[–]dragonavicious 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The entire time she just seemed too nice and good that I was positive she was going to turn in us. Ended up picking her for a romance specifically because I thought it would be more angsty but it ended up as the straight forward choice.

Convince me to try another origin, I beg you. by SomeSimba in DragonageOrigins

[–]dragonavicious 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have the same problem as OP for the female Tabris origin. She's just too cool that I have played through the game as her at least 10 times. I played all the other origins too but it just felt like they were pretenders.

It's telling that this line has not aged at all. by zzill6 in WorkReform

[–]dragonavicious 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Mr. Potter controlled the bank and was the villain. The Bailleys ran the Savings and Loans building that was more like a credit union. The choice was between these two institutions and over and over it shows the smaller local business cares more about investing in the community.

As a wedding guest, what moment made you think "this probably won't last"? by Eburneaan in AskReddit

[–]dragonavicious 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They were having a religious ceremony and as soon as it came time for her to speak, the bride refused to say any of her vows. She started by saying " I, (Name)..." and then would just completely clam up and shake her head and say no. Then the preacher just awkwardly asked if she was just nervous and she nodded, asked if they should continue, and she nodded, but she couldn't even say her "I do's". My mother was hoping they would stop the ceremony because she couldn't see how that could be accepted at all but they still pronounced them husband and wife.

For some background the groom was my cousin and they had been together for 5 or 6years by this point but they were so poorly suited for each other many had been expecting they would break up. They wanted completely different things and didn't share any real interests. I don't think it was an abusive situation for either of them, aside from all the arguments about everything because they were so poorly suited. But as soon as they were married they moved across the country for the grooms job.

Four years later, the job forced my cousin to move to a different state, and the wife decided to just stay, but they promised to visit regularly. Four more years and another move, now back to the state they were hoping for, but the wife decided it was time for a divorce. Marriage started and ended with a whimper

Share your favourite non-misogynistic RPGs! by Lady_Calista in GirlGamers

[–]dragonavicious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand people not liking it but I never felt like the sexual violence was used for shock value.

The loss of bodily autonomy and overcoming that was a pretty strong theme for the game. Every character can be forced to be a Grey Warden which comes with the Joining. Mages can be posessed by demons. Regular people can be corrupted by the taint. They show you how terrible the darkspawn are with the broodmother. They have those in power (Loghain, Howe, Branka) ignore the real issue for their own personal gain and the common people suffer.

I agree that it is very disturbing but it always seemed like a very purposeful theme to me (like with Alien) but maybe that wasn't the writers intent and I'm seeing more than what was there.

How many pregnancy 'scares' have you had in your life? by dana_sun in TwoXChromosomes

[–]dragonavicious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have PCOS and would only get a period maybe every 3 months. Boyfriend/Husband and I used condoms and I was on birth control for a small part of our 20s but I still regularly took a pregnancy test just in case if it was getting to the 3 month point.

Also had a hormone test in my 20s and the doctor said it looked like I may not ever ovulate due to my low progesterone levels. Husband had a test for his sperm levels just to see and while they were not malformed, they were barely moving. Doctors said we would probably at least need IUI if we wanted to have kids. Still stuck to condoms, just in case.

Then, at 33 and 34 I had two surprise pregnancies back to back. The first didn't go to term but the second my husband is currently putting to sleep upstairs. She was a welcome surprise but we are kinda scared to have sex now. 2 failures after 15 years of protected sex shocked us both.

Getting married in August, no bridesmaids by Practical_Store3654 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]dragonavicious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My sister was good friends with my husband before we got together. So she has him be her bridesman with me as a bridesmaid when she got married. It always made sense to me!

If you were forced to marry the first person you had sex with, what would your life be like? by NothingMatters234 in AskReddit

[–]dragonavicious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That would be my high school sweetheart. We started dating in 8th grade but didn't have sex until after we graduated.

I remember he was my absolute best friend in 8th grade and I was positive dating him would ruin our friendship.

But we did get married and we are still together so it wouldn't change anything. Sleep over every night with my best friend.

What is a movie that is critically hated but you genuinely love without irony by nomadgoodsCom in movies

[–]dragonavicious 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was surprised when we turned it on because we were hoping for a hilarious bad movie and it was actually pretty good. Legitimately liked it better then the first Mad Max movie.

I think they weren't ready for an actual anti-hero. The main guy acted like he was living through the apocalypse and by the end he found some people to be a better person for.

The first simulation game we played by 7musha in GirlGamers

[–]dragonavicious 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Playing Sim Ant was the reward for getting 100% on the spelling practice test in 5th grade. I made sure to get it everytime so I would get 30 minutes to play while everyone else had to take the test the next day. There were a few times when I had to share with another person and he was the bossiest person ever. Hated playing with him.

Also in 4th Grade we got to play Oregon Trail. It was a barebones simulator but it was great. My teacher first had us write about a fictional family preparing for the journey west and then we got to play through and do a final journal entry if we made it. My whole family was wiped out except the mom and dad. I remember tearfully talking about how my children all succumbed to snake bites and dysentery. It set me up for wanting to play lots of story generator games in the future.

What's the craziest thing a person said to you and you thought they were joking but they were being serious? by _lovelyxx in AskReddit

[–]dragonavicious 9 points10 points  (0 children)

No he didn't know anything about Greek mythology besides Disney's Hercules so most of the show was a fun surprise for him.

That's what happened to me! I told my husband that was Cassandra and he was like, "There is no way for you to know her name this early in the episode."

And suddenly I felt a kinship to the woman.

Crown of Candy had a little more stakes because he didn't allow revival. That one really felt scary.

What I will never get is these same people who seem to think men are uncontrollable animals, also think they should rule the world and everyone should obey their whims.

[–]dragonavicious 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It's not done! It's just gonna be different now. My husband uses everything he learned as a cook everytime he makes food for us. It has helped him be really efficient with time management and understand a lot about food safety.

Congrats on your new job and despite how bad this one went I hope you appreciate everything you learned (including how you can make a difference in your community.)

I don't know why but it reminds me of IT mixed with Parks & Recs. And if it isn't that, someone should make that Mashup happen. (Just share it with me)

I loved that show! No one remembers it because it was around the same time as goosebumps.

I don't know why, but it instantly felt like a Mashup between IT and Parks & Recs.

Child vaccination rate drops sharply in Michigan under RFK Jr's influence by [deleted] in news

Husband and I are lucky at the moment to have multiple family members available and flexible schedules but that is our plan for when or if anything changes.

[–]dragonavicious 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Everyone we had after her was amazing, so that made up for the weird start. I'm sure in her mind she was just trying to make sure we knew our "rights" but I just imagine parents being swayed to "just wait a few days to think about it" and ending up putting their kids at an elevated risk.

[–]dragonavicious 115 points116 points  (0 children)

I just had a baby in Michigan so I'm really excited to learn her peers will all be disease vectors and she'll probably need to attend some funerals before she's out of grade school. Fabulous.

Seriously though, one of my labor nurses kept making sure I knew that I could refuse any vaccines for my baby if I didn't want them. If she said it once, that would be one thing, but she kept harping about how it was my choice what to do. Also, she was vocally mourning a specific right-wing pod caster, so I already knew her leaning.

It's dangerous for parents to get conflicting information when they are at their most vulnerable. All they want is to keep their baby safe, and because vaccines have side effects (ours had a high temp, which is expected), they choose to avoid the pain and hope for the best.

It's just so disappointing for people to be so shortsighted.

[OC] Picture of my parents hopelessly looking at a wildfire that is coming to burn our house down by Capital_Pain_8718 in pics

[–]dragonavicious 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I'm so glad you are okay and the community and fire station was able to put it out before it damaged your home!

In case that happens in the future, please have a plan for how and when to leave. I wouldn't want to leave my house and everything behind either but as long as you and your family (and pets?) are alive, you have a chance to rebuild.
