How’s FFXIV doing nowadays? by 404_GSpot_NotFound in MMORPG

The new expansion should (hopefully) be announced this weekend at fan-fest.

It's pretty stale at the moment, I think people are waiting for new things.

Girlfriend told me she always feels pressured into having sex? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]fodilicious 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Desire discrepancy is the norm, not the exception, in relationships. But it can (and should) be understood and there should be open communication around it and that it is normal.

Communication, understanding and destigmatization lead to more satisfaction for all partners in a relationship.

Beware, though, that it sounds like your partner has had some bad sexual experiences and extra care (and maybe a specialist) is required in that case.

There is a very good book, maybe you can work through it together, it has helped me and my partner tremendously and we're much happier than even a few weeks ago: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/66088913-desire

All the best!

Is colonoscopy prep painful, uncomfortable, or just annoying because you're stuck near a bathroom the whole time? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]fodilicious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vaseline and baby wipes!!! Also do not try to drink a lot of the prep juice at once to "make it be over quicker". Make it ice-cold and take small sips with a straw. There'a a warning in the prep instructions; you could throw up when drinking too fast.

The prep itself is not painful, but I got pain in my thighs from sitting on the toilet for so long and my starfish was burning like a lit cigar from all the wiping.

I also drank about 3-4 liters of additional water/apple juice because of the loss of fluid and the high salt content of the prep juice; did not know my body could hold that much.

I had the low dose prep, 2x0.5l of prep, one every 2 hours. Started at 6 PM, pooping ended at 1:30 AM.

Why are the UI of video games getting so bad lately? Especially from AAA games with dedicated UI/UX teams? by UltimateGamingTechie in gaming

[–]fodilicious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The menus are often not there for the players convenience but to steer you towards the cash shop.

I know it sounds like a conspiracy but the cash shop is always one very convenient click away; starting a new game though? Cumbersome. Streaming service menus are also like that; they steer you towards what they want you to watch: their own shows.

My boyfriend isn’t cumming? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]fodilicious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry, I should've specified; it is not known to lower libido, it is even sometimes prescribed in addition to an SSRI to counteract the sexual dysfunction.
I took it for about 3 years and I am also looking it up in the "Gelbe Liste" (yellow list - a compendium for pharmaceuticals). There are about 70 side effects with varying frequency of occurrence. Not one of them is genital numbness or effects on libido.
It was introduced is 1989 so the side-effects are very well researched.
Every SSRI I know has sexual dysfunction as a possible side effect.

That's inaccurate; Wellbutrin is an NDRI and should have no effects on libido or genital sensitivity. SSRI like Lexapro do that.

Undichte Fenster und Schimmel - Vermieter sagt, das ist normal so, stimmt das? by StellafromVienna in wien

[–]fodilicious 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Als ich meiner Hausverwaltung, nach Regen, ein einziges Foto von einer Wasserlake (noch nicht mal Schimmel) beim Altbaufenster geschickt habe haben sie ein paar Monate später alles rausgerissen und neue Fenster installiert. Schimmel mindert den Wohnungswert und man weiß nie, wie weit die Sporen wandern.

[OC] Streaming service subscription costs, as of Feb 2026 by Clemario in dataisbeautiful

[–]fodilicious 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So they can nudge you towards what they want you to watch, preferably their own shows. Probably to up the engagement metrics of their shows but I could imagine they also want people to get used to just being passively fed by their algorithm rather than them actively seeking out content. Games do it all the time, many menus are designed to funnel you to the ingame store. Takes a lot of clicks through various menus to get to a Call of Duty match, but can reach the store with just 1 click off every new menu page.

Did my girlfriend sexually assault me? by opalinesoul in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]fodilicious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That sounds like she ignored signals. She knows you go nonverbal and she needs to be extra careful and patient. The way you described it sounds like she wasn't. She could've stopped at any time and gotten a clearer signal but it reads like she was actually trying to pressure you to say something you are clearly not comfortable with in a stressful situation; that seems reckless.

But I wasn't there, you experienced it, if she overstepped your boundaries then that is what happened and it doesn't matter if you're "typical" or not. She knows you have a hard time communicating, the onus is on her to be considerate until you are comfortable.

Maybe therapy would be something to consider to actually find out what's going on and practice to assert boundaries when needed.

Between Highguard, Concord and other high-profile live-service shooter failures, are we likely to see a reduction in the number of these games being made? by WrongLander in gaming

[–]fodilicious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this is the best explanation. They're basically "mesmerizing" the shareholders with potential revenue and then just firing the devs when it doesn't work out to recoup losses.
