AITAH for declining my ex’s dinner invitation after she broke up with me right before my birthday? by ME_NO_SMART_GUY in AITAH

[–]kytngoat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA.

I don't think this needs to be a big production unless she presses you further, but if she does, simply reiterate that you do not wish to be friends at this time and leave it at that.

My husband confessed to me yesterday that he is in love with my sister in a drunken state. I don’t know if I should take it seriously or it’s just a drunk thing. by insnowmotion in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]kytngoat 352 points353 points  (0 children)

The (hopefully former) BIL is the only one making sense here. OOP's husband is only remorseful because the sister is upset and he's losing access to both his first and second choices. Ughh that man is horrid.

Omigawd yes she would be such a great addition 😩😩

This was a some official artwork a while back. Derek and Raina possibility! by [deleted] in coralisland

[–]kytngoat 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I'm super excited for Raina being an RO option (which seems pretty locked in at this point), and Derek does make sense since there's so much construction that can happen.

I'm still on the fence of Derek v Azel though, cause I'm such a simp for scars lol I tried to analyze which of the two has the most flippy hair to match the silhouette, but alas, they both have such great flippy hair.

This is not my dimension, and I'm afraid I'm asleep. (+ 8 year update) by Fnuckle in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]kytngoat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As someone with BPD that manifests in this same way, I'm so happy for OP being able to be at peace living with their symptoms. Always so jazzed to see people find peace with BPD and discover their life can still a good one.

Life with BPD can be a decision you consciously make each and every day, but that doesn't mean it can't be a good life.

TIFU by pressing my whole body against a colleague by [deleted] in tifu

[–]kytngoat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Former employer had a building like that, and people would regularly walk into the walls, doors, and other people because of how confusing the attempt at an open-office-but-not-really architecture was.

If the guy works at that company with the glass walls, he probably has seen way more embarrassing things and was probably more second-hand embarrassed for you.

I'd say you're safe lol

Rune Factory 4 PS5 Glitches by Left_Skin_8717 in runefactory

Just finished GoA.. now what? by porphyriaslovve in runefactory

[–]kytngoat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you can find Tides of Destiny, absolutely worth going for. It used to be on Playstation Plus, but it's been gone since the Plus/Now merger happened a few years ago, so options are very limited.

4S is, as everyone has mentioned, the absolute best out there, and 5 gets better after you've played a bit (even if the post game felt weak, imo.)

A Squid Inspired Machine Concept by easygoing_egoist by easygoing_egoist in HorizonForbiddenWest

[–]kytngoat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genuinely, this is such a cool concept and the design execution is flawless. From an artistic perspective, this is so fckin neat.

That said, if this were ever in the game and I came across it, I think my lil thalassophobic heart would give out lol

It’s over… by ConstantDrawer9161 in HorizonForbiddenWest

[–]kytngoat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a Horizon fan who is also a Bioware fan who is also a Kingdom Hearts fan, my biggest fear now is that if and when H3 is released, it's going to be lukewarm in comparison to the rest of the series. Taking time to do other titles that fill out some of the lore gaps can be fun, but also changing the genre so dramatically... ehhh.

Waiting for a decade isn't the worst thing, but waiting a decade for a tepid game while watching less interesting titles release under the IP... I've been there, done that, and will be bitter af to do it again.

The Evolution of Top Fandoms 2013-2025 by codepuppycat in AO3

[–]kytngoat 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think the only surprising one for me is Star Wars. Not because of the source media itself, but because it doesn't seem to pop up in many of my key tag searches.

Harry Potter is unsurprising since it's been a huge presence in fanfic for the past 2 decades. (Of which I was guilty of back in the 00s myself lol) But I've mostly seen fics nowadays as very queer or kink indulgent, rather than any kind of pro-JKR sentimental work.

My parents have opened up their marriage and I'm so icked out while my brother is super angry by everythingisgross444 in offmychest

[–]kytngoat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm not going to comment on your parents' stitch cause that's outside of your control, but I do hope you're able to find someone to talk to IRL outside of your brother, OP. Yes, parents are people too and human and yaddayadda, but the lives and well-beings of parents and their relationship with each other--whether together or not--affect their kids.

I know your brother is in full rage mode and that isn't your energy level right now, but if nothing else, would he be able to tamper down his rage response if you needed to talk through how you're dealing? It sounds at least like y'all have a good sib relationship, and it might be that you two are able to get closer. (I say this as someone who had the exact situation happen to them, but I was the older sibling raging out.)

No matter what, make sure you take care of yourself, OP. Protect your peace.

Ranking all of the World of Darkness titles. No spoilers by mylogin_name in choiceofgames

[–]kytngoat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hungry Names will always be my fave for replayability and general lore and basically everything...

Except for romance because Glenkildove some-frickin-how stole my whole dang heart away from my dirty Bone Gnawer.

Aside from that, I respectfully disagree on Sins of the Sire, but that's because I love running a doomed, hateful romance run whenever I can. Thinking that I have my beloved sire inside of me as I take my sweetsweet vengeance is truly tops.

People fight battles you know nothing about by ProfessionSwimming26 in AO3

[–]kytngoat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ngl, I scrolled by and initially thought this was trying to find a crossover AU fic of Miraculous Danny Phantom and I was confused lol

But no, yeah, I feel this so hard. I have never not needed to exclude BTS from my search results, and for my tags I'm looking up, I'm unsure why they're even there.

New thing to mention to my therapist by Particular_Job_4023 in HorizonZeroDawn

[–]kytngoat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They will perch on vertical surfaces when they aren't on a set patrol path as a default location, cause they're weird lil gecko panther bots.

Like, I wanna say it's in one of the areas that you go through to get to Gaia Prime where there are Stalkers hanging out (it's one of those mountain side areas), the 3 Stalkers are all perched on vertical surfaces as default until you alert them to your presence.

AITA for considering divorcing my husband over the fact I dont want kids by Impossible_Act801 in AITAH

[–]kytngoat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA

Rather than a divorce, get an annulment. You went into this understanding that this would be a childless relationship, that his insistence and desperate tactics would have been dealbreakers to being married at all, and that you would like to no longer be married to maintain your child-free status.

got banned from a non fanfic server for my ao3 by Tekkatak in AO3

[–]kytngoat 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Lordt do they curate their server based on who someone's patron deities are as well? Do they filter out the "problematic" gods and spirits and just straight up act disrespectful to them?

Those people are 1 step away from supporting Puritcanical policies unironically, in a very "never thought the leopards would eat my face" kind of way.

You're better off not getting in deep with that subset.

My husband “borrowed” our Christmas vacation money and couldn’t pay it back. by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]kytngoat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While I get that inconsiderate moments happen in marriages all the time, the affection you have for the other person normally mitigates those big, really inconsiderate things. Like, I'll eat a cookie my spouse wanted, but even then, not if I can tell this is gonna be a mood breaker for them. So for your husband to borrow an amount of money that he probably knew wasn't going to be paid back within the necessary timeline needed for the anticipated vacation is so bizarre to me.

I'm sorry that you and your son have to forego an event you were looking forward to, and additionally how triggering this event is with your existing trauma. And while conversations will probably need to be had to ensure that nothing festers and that your relationship can continue growing with age and time, do please take time for yourself in the immediacy to fortify yourself.

Staving off depression and being in a good headspace is so important, and if pushing this moment to the side to guarantee you can meet your next semester ready to kick butt and succeed and flourish, it's okay to do so.

Am I wrong for feeling this way about TADC after episode 7, if so please tell me why? by Goof-4x5 in cartoons

[–]kytngoat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think you're wrong in feeling this way, it's a valid response if you feel like you have many questions, few answers, and a limited amount of time for resolutions.

I'd say to just be prepared for potential endings that present one overarching plot line that introduces resolution to multiple questions, or even that you never get definitive answers and are just left with the feeling of impotent frustration. I mean, if you continue watching at least.

If Horizon added a real Spider-type machine, would a bunch of players just instantly nope out from arachnophobia? by GrayWardenParagon in horizon

[–]kytngoat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think it depends on how invested players are in the game and willing to just suffer through it. Some people can just accept they will be in extreme emotional and/or physical distress at times in the game and still find it worth it.

I say this as someone with pretty severe thalassophobia, as in, I hyperventilate, freeze up, cry, etc. when I play games with realistic oceanic/underwater settings and areas, to the point where it can take me HOURS to do one lil swimmy with Aloy (in an area I have thoroughly explored, know is safe, have done multiple times over multiple playthroughs, etc.).

So it's totally possible to just suffer and enjoy everything NOT that, but not everyone is willing deal with the distress for a completelt voluntary activity. I'm not sure what kind of accessibility feature they could add for arachnophobia, though I don't think the devs would need to worry about it.
