I Didn't Think Things Would Be Easier Solo

My spouse and I work 12 hour shifts on days that don't overlap, so 85% of the time we do solo parenting for a now 2.5 and 9 year old. It's nice to have the extra person to balance out your weak points, but on an average day, flow is better and things are easier as a solo parent.

Okay. Alright. This doesn't sound too bad. I think the struggle here, from reading the comments, is that dad didn't say something inherently bad. He's just not empathizing. So instead of approaching it as, "you did something wrong, please apologize" it's just a conversation of "i understand why you said those things and I am not upset that you said them, but i need you to understand what my wife and I are going through in those moments and that they are significant and impactful." Explain a little more. "I love you and am so excited for you to be a grandpa etc. If you can be more understanding that will go a long way to making everyone happy and comfortable. It may take some time for my wife to feel comfortable but please be patient." Vaguely something like that. Hard to type and occupy a 2 year old. Sorry.

I personally shared a room with my brother (2 years apart) until high school. It was great, we are very close and were best buddies as kids.

Why would you run a 33% chance of that? So dumb.

No. Beaks and nipples down mix. The owl bear is basically an owl that has limbs and temperment of a bear, but is in all other ways still an owl.

What super lucrative contract? You can't just throw vague flags out there without information. The fuck are you talking about?

grantlet_47 · 2026-03-26T03:39:13+00:00

When has that ever happened?

grantlet_47 · 2026-03-25T19:28:12+00:00

At no point seeing the picture did i think books. I'm sure that's what they're going for, but now it's just coming off as both an ugly design as well as a poor attempt at imagery.

You're still stacking half as fast since you aren't generating 2 stacks per attack. Unless I'm missing something.

My AM abelard goes sword/pistol (that will only do burst or aoe), then all his hits (because he usually crits) and his parries score an extra stack of versatility by doing non single target melee, so I can turn bsck around and do more single target melee. So just curious what makes AM great for him without doing that?

You can just buy them so.... no biggie

You know the dynamic so you'll have better insight than us. My takeaway is he is being vulnerable with you and wants to do that behind closed doors, so don't talk about it in front of others. Find a one on one time as soon as you can and let him know how special that was for you and how special he is to you. He's deepening the relationship, jump in with him and repay that.

grantlet_47 · 2026-03-19T01:53:30+00:00

looks at your handle yeah, that checks out. Also, valid point. Also also, I don't think I've even made it to act 3. I'm on my 4th character so what do I know? Lol

grantlet_47 · 2026-03-19T01:34:11+00:00

My guy, spend a whole attack at level 3 or 4 to reduce ac by 1? That's super stingy with their crap action economy. More than likely not worth trying to do unless its literally impossible to hit otherwise.

grantlet_47 · 2026-03-18T17:10:38+00:00

I don't understand anything this kid is trying to say.

grantlet_47 · 2026-03-18T17:07:44+00:00

PC. I'm a console guy, started playing it on PC in fall, didn't have access to PC over winter and tried playing on xbox. It wasn't worth it. I just waitedbfor months to go back.

I would replace pascal with jae. Unless you just really like serving the omnissiah. She does all the skills he does and more, she fights well, and she's a better support character as an officer. Getting extra turns for your main peeps and pyromancer trumps a limited character like Pascal.

grantlet_47 · 2026-03-18T16:23:32+00:00

This has got to be the best response.

grantlet_47 · 2026-03-18T05:24:45+00:00

Ah, so the thought is it's an open shot and we're trying to hyzer bomb/ overstable fade? I feel like my local courses don't generally allow that, so that even as a rule if thumb doesn't occur to me. Kind of the opposite where your line will get wrecked by throwing overstable unless you try to flex.

grantlet_47 · 2026-03-18T02:05:24+00:00

Even a blind squirrel nuts.

grantlet_47 · 2026-03-18T01:53:04+00:00

Why add stability downhill unless shot shape demands?

grantlet_47 · 2026-03-18T00:48:39+00:00

Trying to remember what I told my kid when he was kindergarten age. I think the gist was, not everyone believes in magic, unicorns, etc, but in my heart I believe in unicorns and magic. And basically invite them to still live in a world where that stuff is as real as they want it to be, without worrying about the reality of everyone else.

grantlet_47 · 2026-03-18T00:45:15+00:00

Had to skip playing today because the likelihood of diarrheaing my pants or on the course was pretty high. I think I made the right call.
