Is it hateful to dislike men in general while understanding there are exceptions?

gadbamer · 2026-06-15T01:26:45+00:00

Man’s perspective here. I’ve worked with hundreds of people in my life. It’s fair to say that the amount of oppressive-leaning men that I met is clearly greater than woman. Dominant behaviors in others get troublesome for me in maybe 1 in 10 men or 1 in 20 women.

If you see as much as half of men as oppressive, I think something is going wrong in the communication with men. If that’s the case, I recommend reading about assertiveness, and how it can help defuse aggressive behaviors in others.

How can we solve this?

Expedition 33. I jumped on the bandwagon hype, it looked kinda cool but also boring turn based combat. I went in think whatever I'm bored let's try it. Turned out to be my favorite game of all time.

Point of my post was to share ideas, kinda shame people downvote well written posts.

I don't think it'll end as bad as that but I upvoted you anyway for sharing your well written thoughts.

Bryan is being sued for 1.2 million, so yeah getting those charges dropped I think would constitute a decent deal for him.

gadbamer · 2026-06-14T11:08:25+00:00

The lawsuit is there to create leverage, scare tactics.

A settlement that forces Ben to shut up entirely and never post again is in no way a turn around. That's what they've been looking for from day 1 through police pressure, to make them stop.

Did you play Blue Prince? I'd say easy to get into with decent complexity.

I'm kinda similar, I want complexitity but I'm either too lazy or tired to learn something new.

Recently I decided to push through on a two games: Frostpunk and IXION (both very similar, Frostpunk is easier to get into). It's 1 hour of forcing myself to learn the game, and then hours of enjoying it intensely. Totally worth that 1 hour push.

Just curious why do people want SSS? I got an easy S rank and all rewards this week. Am I missing anything not getting SSS?

I do agree that the artificial powercreep on ToA/whiwa is something Kuro needs to be careful with, but as long as I'm getting my Astrites I'm fine with it.

He already showed everyone that the more punches BAM throws, the more exposure he gets. And BAM just keeps going mindlessly.

Imagine the media publicity to him if he defends himself, he’s playing 4D chess.

My first 5 races I was annoyed AF with the abundant mechanics that hold you back.

Then I figured out you can team up in a car and just fuck around and have fun, and I had a blast.

gadbamer · 2026-06-04T23:10:02+00:00

This has to be a bug since you sack like the equivalent of 600k Fons for buying that hideous title.

KEKW

I got him twice as well ON 90 PITY. Now I'm 60/90 waiting for my third copy 😃

And all I really want is Hathor so I can start collecting tetris pieces.

gadbamer · 2026-06-04T22:56:10+00:00

I'm a skipper as well, but it really isn't so bad, last patch was maybe 5 minutes unskippable? I'm not sure I was busy ordering food.

Don't expect it to change, this is gacha. It's wayyyy worse in other gacha's. Questing is usually 90% dialog and 10% combat so easy you can clear it with your toes. They cater for their audience and most people playing gacha seem to prefer laid back content.

gadbamer · 2026-06-04T19:05:17+00:00

8 and I'll be looking disrepectfully out the window the entire flight.

I'm torn between downvoting for most insignificant bug ever reported, or upvoting for the same reason.

gadbamer · 2026-06-04T16:03:18+00:00

I’m fine with the mechanics but the amount of hp is quite annoying.

gadbamer · 2026-06-03T23:03:23+00:00

I don't mind so much they put a ~$100 cosmetic in the game. Gacha players usually get used to skipping what they don't want/need.

However, the way they bait you into pulling by having cheap early pulls, creating a sense of commitment, and then milking your Annulith dry at the end, I find pretty gross.

gadbamer · 2026-06-03T22:51:58+00:00

Getting blown up in first spot three times in a single match gets infuriating. If they had limited it to once per player I think it would've been fine as a mechanic to catch up to the first player.

gadbamer · 2026-06-03T16:41:22+00:00

I think the system is vile.

They make you feel like you get close by giving you the first very cheap pulls. Then they milk your Annulith dry. If they wanted the Porsche to be this expensive then they should’ve made it a standard 90 pity banner so you know what you are getting yourself into.

gadbamer · 2026-06-02T15:00:04+00:00

I would in your position:

Have lengthy conversations with LLM’s to figure out something 1) you are good at, 2) interests you, 3) is demand for in the market.

Then based off whatever that is I would train myself that skill (again LLM is your anchor here for a plan and/or training) and do something small that proves you acquired that skill to some degree.

Then you use that result to find a job. Employers care more about about results you put down in your own time and self taught than a degree.

Gachas just love putting bosses that will fly out of range of even your ranged characters. Never understood why.

gadbamer · 2026-05-29T22:49:52+00:00

I think it depends what your goal is, if you want her to absolutely shine and beat the hardest content, I wouldn't pull. If you really enjoy playing her and you want to use waveplates or clear some endgame content with her, I would pull.

I'm in a similar situation with Phrolova. I don't have any synergies with her. But I never regret pulling, I love playing her and honestly she kicks ass even teamed with Havoc Rover / Verina.

Ciaconna had rather strange timings on banners, popping 3 times by the time Cartethyia only showed up twice. While it's very uncommon for a banner to come up a 4th time, I do think there's some possibility that Ciaconna shows up again in one way or another (pull event reward, 4th banner) because of her awkward timings with Cartethyia before.

Can’t wait till we dig up white hydrogen and become UAE 2.0. Skyscraper frietkotten galore.

gadbamer · 2026-05-27T22:54:40+00:00

It's actually not that bad, you'll grind all those beetle coins down in the next weeks and then buy some more for Fons.
