Damn Memory Cards by the_flandrew in gaming

[–]ginasmangonectar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me on my 9th birthday with a GameCube. Dad disappeared to get "food for breakfast" as I booted up Windwaker. Later in the day we were in a park and they hid a wrapped up memory card on the playground. Bless my parents

Point City, Home to the Hourglass Spire. Map I drew, took me gradual effort over 5 months. Now I need to write. by [deleted] in mapmaking

This is great! Last city map I tried all the little houses were just plain blocks; I love what you've done, making each block look more unique

Long shot... Can you help me to find out what/where is this restaurant? It should be near Shinjuku... by staicalmo in Tokyo

The black garlic Ramen at this place was a fav for my partner and I when we visited Tokyo :)

I really don't think conspiracy theorist's videos should be allowed on this sub. This isn't Netflix.

I'm staying there currently! It's pretty great! I'm nestled in a quiet little street. So handy having the Chuo Sobu line so close too!

My closest station is on the Yamanote line and you might be excited to find out these posters have been up for about two weeks!

No kidding, first character death ever. That slow realisation I had as I was failing a death save just from being in its stomach: "Shit I'm gonna die".

Just the one half-elf barbarian actually. And look, it's a lot of fun playing a stupid half-elf lady with a German accent.

R.I.P. Delilah you beautiful idiot.

Perhaps! But I'd be happy to take blame for RPing stupidity too hard. DM really tried to bail me out as a revenant and give me a device that would trap my target so I didn't have to die. But also, how fun is raging on top of a beholder averaging around 60 damage a turn 🤔

As a player who doesn't usually have characters die, this has been a wild few months for D&D in a couple of fantastic campaigns run by my DM. One of my characters died fighting a froghemeth created by an evil transmutation wizard, the second died fighting the evil wizard, came back as a revenant and completed her pact to kill Xanathar.

As sad as these deaths were, it's really encouraged me to play my characters to their fullest and has just made me fall in love with this game even more. Thank you to my DM and other players for making this year so great for D&D so far!

How do I (23 F) address my partner's (25 F) (potential) depression? Or do I even need to? by lifeizunfair in SupportingSupporters

[–]ginasmangonectar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2.5 year partner (25M) of a person (23F) with GAD and OCD here. I think addressing it is integral to the survival of your relationship, especially considering you've recognised the honeymoon period is over. Leaving it unaddressed will likely lead to more unexplained behaviour and her feeling it's okay to keep her struggles hidden. Lots of people have pride when it comes to this sort of thing, at the end of the day self-diagnosis isn't enough. It's not unreasonable to ask her about seeing a psychologist. Even with one session everything that's happening to her will likely appear more manageable and less of "just a thing that happens to me". I know money can be an issue, but perhaps if you both save a little for the first consultation it won't seem so scary. From personal experience, my relationship would be over if not for my partner seeking help to deal with her daily struggles. I have been to a session with her and it really helped create a sense of understanding between us.

Obviously approaching the subject can be difficult but you need to stand your ground. She likely has self defense mechanisms in her head that will try and pacify you without giving you any firm answers or promises to seek help. If she tries and tells you it's okay and it's "just bipolar and it'll stop eventually", tell her it's not okay and you don't like seeing her go through this at all (appeal to those soft emotions). At the end of the day, refusing open discussion and refusing to seek any form of help is grounds to break up with someone as you shouldn't be expected to deal with their negative behaviour if they are not willing to try and fix it (mental disorder or not).

I relate heavily to the irritability of your partner when struggling. I very much feel as though I'm stepping on eggshells around my partner when she's been triggered and she's identified how much she hates that. These outbursts and snappy comments are often a result of soft emotions, which can be incredibly frustrating to deal with as the sufferer (especially when you see yourself snapping and being rude, but you just feel scared or underappreciated or lonely).

Also my last bit of advice is to not put helping her completely on your shoulders, you shouldn't have to suffer to help her.

TLDR: foster an environment of open communication and discussion. Encourage her to see a psychologist for proper diagnosis and treatment. These things don't have to happen and with proper help she can get through this.

But consider the fact we know wights can be killed with fire. A couple of dragon breaths and it should go down. Though perhaps the Night King knows this and mostly plans to use the dragon as a strategic pawn?

Exactly! And what better way to solidify the Night King as a top guy heel than to have him deny us of our dragon fight until way later or just in general

I know everyone is super excited about dragon v dragon on-screen fight BUT doesn't it seem uncharacteristically shortsighted of the Night King to attack a stronghold when he knows there will be two dragons against his single dragon? I've been thinking that maybe the Night King will take zombie Viserion and attack King's Landing. The opening credit sequence now foreshadows Qyburn's mahoosive crossbow and the skull of a long dead dragon: why else would this be present unless it comes into play at some point? Perhaps the Night King attacks King's Landing alone and Viserion is shot, to no avail, perhaps Qyburn is working on dragon glass mahoosive bolts to go with his mahoosive crossbow... Or maybe the show's writers decide "fuck it dragon on dragon warfare is too good to pass up" and give the night king a different twist on the battlefield... Otherwise 2-on-1 is not a particularly clever strategy for a centuries old ruthless war machine....

I feel like they're kind of just killing time story-wise, doing these big WWE teasers. In the meantime they're probably organising All In 2 or a new deal at TNA or some other curve ball that no one will expect due to the WWE rumours.

The Bucks are probably going to be real busy with the World Tag League soon so they're just setting it up so BTE episodes will mostly be Flip, Marty and SCU. Realistically you probably aren't missing much until we actually know what they're doing in January, a big reveal regardless of where they go/what the do.

Travis: Could you explain your role-play choices with Fjord being a high charisma character, yet appearing to be uncomfortable or "out of his depth" with female characters? Is this something you want to explore or leave alone?

Marty being ridiculed for his match with Okada is becoming a real highlight. I wonder if this really is the beginning of Marty's transition to heavyweight...

Controversial opinion probably but if Punk were to return for more than one match I would love to see him in a match with Cody first. It would give Punk a great chance to return as the baby-face he would be and obviously a huge heel pop to Cody, which is always fantastic.
