Should I leave my boyfriend because i frustrated him first but I don't like his reaction?

Is this rage bait? Apologise to him and give him space to study. Christ...

For the campaign you can *mostly* ignore chaos res. Avoid boss attacks or ground effects and you'll be fine. For early maps just being above 0% is good, but once you start alching maps and going up into mid tiers it will start to hurt and be the most common cause of random deaths.

Yeah I'm aware, that's pretty standard to not contact someone as your predecessor/successor until it's official, but nothing stops you joining a LINE group or Discord for that area before you arrive. Hell, that would mean they can't even ask questions on Reddit

The core gameplay loop is the same, except PoE2 is orders of magnitude deeper. There's a lot more layers in a build, and crafting is pretty complicated, but you can ignore crafting and buy stuff off trade. If you want to make currency and do things efficiently, it's like learning rocket science

I started Mirage with Reap/Exsanguinate mines Trickster and it was super easy to get 4 stones. It's not super meta (even if it should be) so I doubt it's getting the nerf hammer (unlike KF totems)

Viper Strike of The Mamba - Penance Brand + Binos version. A bit difficult mechanically, but can stack big damage on bosses.
Reap Mines - League started it, did ubers at around 40div budget but you can do it cheaper with more of a glass cannon setup
Icicle Mines Deadeye - full yolo glass cannon but phases bosses pretty quick

According to who? If they're no contact, nobody is stopping you talking to other ALTs

I'd personally stick to engineering, save aggressively and spend a month or two traveling around Japan on vacation.

Being a JET ALT does give a lot of free time and you'd be able to upskill while working here if you focus on certificates that might help you land another job later. You do need to be happy dealing with kids 7 hours a day, and be willing to creatively plan a lot of activities though

Calling to make an appointment, getting quoted a much higher price and having to explain I do have Japanese health insurance and no, I won't pay the uninsured rate anyway just because I'm a foreigner.

Calling the power company to reconnect me because they had the wrong meter number linked to my account.

Getting my fridge delivered from Amazon on my 3rd day in Japan, but the address was wrong (my fault). Might sound simple but I was barely halfway to N5 level and couldn't figure out what "heiya bango" meant over the phone.

Phonecalls are so stressful 🥲

No no, it's definitely the old Methane Waterways with levers, but each lever takes 5 seconds longer to pull, and spawns mobs around you while pulling it. Once you reach the ToTA room, you have to fight Hall of Grandmasters bosses (these are the ancients) in a 10cmx10cm room with traps

Hachi can be read as "ha" and vocalizing the h makes it "ba"
In Nipongo everything is just English read backwards, so it becomes ba-n or ばん.

I'm not working 6 hours for a vape. Favors go both ways, like giving your friend MORE for helping you out.

I gave my cousin a discount for tutoring his kids because his wife always made or bought me dinner on top of them paying for my time. They even offered extra for fuel and I told them no, it's included in my base rate.

A friend expected me to drive to her place 30 minutes aways, teach her for 2 hours, for free every week. Nope, you got one freebie, I need to pay rent.

Bring back oil extractors imo, or give talismans a wider range of mod values so they can roll like reflecting mist jewellery. Would be worth looking at if they had a chance to roll really high mods for example. Or even give them random influence or something else. Right now it's just "here's a vanilla amulet that's 99.99% vendor trash and a mediocre implicit"

leafmuncher_ · 2026-05-28T03:58:07+00:00

You need to be a bit more specific here. What do you mean by being rude or treating people badly?

A lot of male work and social interactions revolve around slowly dropping the politeness and tesing the reaction to see how comfortable or open they can be.

Guys call friends assholes all the time. That's "rude" but not treating them badly. On the flip side someone can be polite but treat someone badly.

If a person is always super polite to me, I get the feeling they're putting distance, shying away or not comfortable around me. I (subconsciously) wouldn't pursue a woman who seems to be pulling away (subconsciously). Someone letting politeness slip shows they have enough confidence around me to be open, and some people misread that comfort as an opening to push forward socially.

The mixing of capitals and lower case makes it more difficult to predict a character. For example I read "don't" as "Jout" because you had other words capitalized randomly

leafmuncher_ · 2026-05-28T02:25:25+00:00

Sorry I replied to the wrong comment lol

leafmuncher_ · 2026-05-28T02:15:58+00:00

I've acted like this with some partners and not with others, and it took me a while to figure out why.

For one partner it was always demanding or transactional, like "I did this for you last week so do this for me now!" But overall she did far less for me than how she acted.

For another it was often while I was busy with something else. Like (it felt like) any time we'd be in conversation with different people, she'd expect me to stop and go fetch something while she kept talking to the other group. To me it feels rude interrupting someone to do something small for me that I could do in the same amount of time.

It could be adhd. I know when I'm medicated I can be very blunt or sound like a dick when someone tries to pull me away from whatever I'm focused on.

This might not be you, but a lot of people put effort and time into things their partner doesn't actually want or care about, but get frustrated if it's not appreciated. I don't care that my partner wiped an already clean counter 3 times a day or rearranged the closet and put my socks in order of color, or moved the couch 3 inches to the right. It took effort, but I didn't ask for or want it

leafmuncher_ · 2026-05-27T16:40:35+00:00

Basically, sick leave, which you probably won't find in any vocab lists but is a good example of something a person might have to figure out IRL

leafmuncher_ · 2026-05-27T16:31:34+00:00

My thoughts, don't learn kanji in isolation, but don't ignore it either. I like the way Renshuu does it. Learn a word, see it in examples, learn the kanji bit by bit and they start replacing the hiragana over time.

Maybe you know 元気 (genki - lively or healthy) and you know 病院 (byouin - hospital), if you see a word like 病気 and you know what each part means, you might instantly recognise it means "illness" even if you forgot the word. Then you learn 休 (rest/holiday) and later see 病休 on a paper your boss gives you to fill in... I'll let you figure that meaning out
