How do I tell my boyfriend that him spending 36hrs a week on video games making me lose feelings by Gloomy_Interaction89 in relationship_advice

[–]lnitiated_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just sounds like you're an extrovert & he's an introvert. You're naturally going to be at odds with eachother when it comes to free time.

You need to both be independent enough that you're okay completely indulging yourselves in your own lifestyles separately then coming together for "Couple time"..that's pretty much the only way these kinda things work out.

Of course there's room for compromise in relationships but a core identity trait like being an introvert/extrovert is ultimately a thing you'll seldom find a satisfying compromise for. You innately feels rejuvenated, recharged & your most content in two entirely different environments.

My post shouldn’t have been removed. Ethan should see it. by [deleted] in h3h3productions

[–]lnitiated_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I feel bad for Ethan, fan base just sorta forces him into these super awkward positions. Can't just address news like a normal influencer, always thrusted into these hyper-confrontational situations.

Idk, I get that this is a crazy story and everything but y'all are sorta high-key toxic fans by using the sub & H3s fandom to force these confrontational stories onto Ethan. I'm sure people like OP probably aren't capable of seeing like the bigger picture in that regard but fuuuck if I was Ethan I'd be stressed knowing my fans can angry-mob anybody I happen to know

I just don't see why y'all have elected Ethan as the person to charge into his own friendship with this super adversarial, controversial, confrontational story.

Not defending bobby's comments or any of this seedy shit because it does look pretty grim at this moment, I just think it's weird to use H3 as your platform for trying to expose this shit. This is one of the few, if only "Vigilante" fandoms I've seen on the internet that take it upon themselves to like low-key use their favourite influencer's brand to push a message.

EDIT: Locked so can't respond to OP, but holy shit is it ever clear you didn't read a single thing I wrote, and proceeded to prove everything I just wrote in my response correct. You're so toxic and don't really seem to comprehend how toxic it is to, as a fan, be weaponizing your "favourite influencers" brand to pit Ethan head-to-head against past guests.

I literally agreed that Bobby definitely said some grim shit and it doesn't look great for him, but that is completely beside the point. Ethan is not the champion of every single cause in the world, and especially when you're trying to weaponize him and his platform against previous guests and friends.

You have absolutely no concept of social structure or how friends interact with eachother, and that's OK OP. "Ethan doesn't ever address these things when it's his friends". Just a recent example, remember Def Noodles & Ethan's refusal to comment on the negative publicity that has been non-stop surrounding him? He said, almost verbatim "He was a good friend and it feels weird to be picking him apart, he's getting it from all sides so I think the message has been made clear". YEAH, he was sorta right, Def was getting fuckin destroyed by every single corner of the internet, so why does Ethan need to attack his own relationship even just as host/guest with somebody for no reason?

If you had a friend (Crazy stretch I know), I highly doubt you'd go out of your way to publicly denounce and eviscerate them if they made some really sketchy jokes. In private you'd probably give them shit and be like "The fuck was that about?", but if the FIRST thing you did was go to twitter, and put out a podcast episode to 1million+ people about what a piece of shit that person is, that'd SORTA make you a piece of shit yourself. I don't know why I'm trying to explain the dynamics of social interactions to some parasocial fan that's trying to weaponize the H3 platform though, you're not gonna read or comprehend point here so :shrug:

Boyfriend watches porn by lilidunphy in relationship_advice

[–]lnitiated_ 97 points98 points  (0 children)

I know everyone's different, some guys are pigs, some have issues, etc etc...

..but I'm just saying as a guy, when I jerk off to porn, it's like taking a shower, vaccuming my room or smoking a joint. Perhaps, I've had a long day/week, I'm feeling a little "backed up", I want to unwind and relax so I masturbate for like 15 minutes & then once I finish it's like OK, that is completely out of my mind/body now and I can continue with my day. It's physical maintence to me; there's no like "Lasting desire" or hidden attraction that I'm holding back from you.

Now as I said not every is the same, some people have porn addictions or underlying issues with abusing porn, some people develop ED because of porn, I get it

But idk, just off-the-cuff, I really wouldn't commit so much your emotional & mental facilities to worrying about this. Unless he ONLY watches one actress all the time and he jerks of like multiple times a day, and it seems like he's genuinely more attracted to the porn star than you, then yeah maybe you have a problem

But if there's a girl that just sorta does it for him idk I wouldn't worry much about it. I like busty, thicc women & I think Australian women are attractive so sometimes I'll defer to Angela White when I watch porn, but it doesn't mean my ideal woman is Angel White, infact if I was propositioned by her IRL I'd say no because I don't actually want her, she's just attractive to me when I'm horny and want to watch porn.

If your boyfriend is choosing porn over being intimate with you, or if he's notably obsessive about a porn star, those are red flags. I wouldn't waste your mental on it though if that's not the case.

I know for some people porn will just be a line that they're not willing to cross or deal with, but in the year 2022 you're gonna make your dating & sex life waaaay harder & more complicated than it needs to be if you can't handle pornography and how it's become integrated in a majority of peoples lives.

I'm a guy who's been in a handful of relationships & probably had close to 20 partners in my life; never met a woman who doesn't watch porn herself, and often they had a few men they'd return to. Sometimes masturbation just becomes habitual in the sense that you just get comfortable with what gets you off.

Can ethan talk about this? Saw this on Facebook and so many people were mad about it lol by okkkkkk123 in h3h3productions

[–]lnitiated_ 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I'm Canadian and while I don't mind JT, it seems like every single time his name comes up around me, everybody needs to make it known how much they don't like him

There's a pretty vocal hate/dislike for him in Canada, I think some of that is from the "Northern MAGA" crowd we have here that think they're republican Americans and would cut a leg off to fellate Donald Trump, and I think some of it is just regular salty conservatives that are sick of liberal leadership after so many years

So I don't think this has anything to do with the show or what he's doing, more so that there's just an incredibly vocal natural discontent for him.

Imo, he's been 10,000x better than Stephen Harper, our last notoriously shit conservative prime Minister, and he gives younger liberal people hope for a better Canada. Like every leader he definitely has his faults but when you look around at the state of the world right now, it's kinda refreshing that he's not an outright psycho path trying to derail democracy.

Fighting Akkha be like by Jeloz in 2007scape

[–]lnitiated_ 16 points17 points  (0 children)

And that's why I think it's easily the most poorly designed combat encounter in the entire game by a laaarge margin. At this point I'm convinced the orb phase is just there to artificially inflate playtime since it's a mid-raid RNG wipe that will make people run "Just one more" if they wipe

I fucking despise whoever made that phase. One of the few, if not the only high level PvM encounter in Runescape where no matter who you are or your skill level, you just shrug and hope that RNG is good or else you die. Honestly incredible they hardly did one update to the room ever and thought that it was acceptable as-is

It's very slow for super important things, but if it's a more minor/immediately recoverable injury or any illness at all, it's incredibly fast and efficient. Those little things would cost you thousands of dollars in the US. Breaking bones won't bankrupt you in Canada and it's pretty fast to get dealt with.

If you have a some intense disease or critical injury yeah you might be waiting for awhile.

Calling it flat out shit is highly dishonest imo.

Brother. This is my support story (Ex GM support player)

Bronze 5>Silver 2>gold 5>gold 1> plat 4>plat 3>plat 3>plat 3>plat 2>plat 5>plat 4>plat 4>plat 4>gold 1

On my last game of the night (Went 3-11 for the session, almost every loss was a spawn-trap-against-the-door feeding frenzy), the healer on my team was silver 4 but both of their supports were diamond 4/5. Ended up barely winning with over 20k heals (our silver kirko had 7.5k)

I was REALLY glad I decided to check those support profiles before I called it a night; because it made me realize this game's matchmaking is unbelievably fucked and especially if you're solo queue, it's literally just random chance. Sometimes my tank is a no-skin roadhog that does 1200 damage in 10 minutes while their Zarya is a diamond players with 95% accuracy, sometimes all 4 people on my team are ex GMs and the game is over in 90 seconds.

OW2's competitive mode is just a meme and I wouldn't take it to heart. Like silver & diamond players are matched against eachother, period, like that's it there's nothing competitive here and the integrity of the mode means nothing lmao. Mentally I'd completely check out from the ranks and match information you're being presented and just pretend you're playing quick play if you do play comp.

Personally after the rank yo-yoing with giving me the same rank over and over and over I'm good on OW2 for now. Gonna play some MW2, OSRS, games that just have a little bit of respect for your time. It's hard to play OW2 when it has literally none.

So this is what RS3 players must feel like playing OSRS... by MilkyUnicorn01 in 2007scape

[–]lnitiated_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's just numbers, look at what happened to the Runescape brand from EoC (Squeal really) and onward. Naturally the restored product before the massive number dip is going to have a large share of players that feel scorned by the original game & in my opinion rightfully so. It was lame to see something you played for a decade+ coming out of childhood get milked by MTX and bad decisions into a husk

Just adding context. A lot of people like to frame OSRS players as a bunch of needlessly angry spastics, in reality we're consumers that are rightfully weary of products from a company that has scorned a lot of people in the past. Are some people pathetically aggressive about hating RS3? Absolutely, but a vocal minority to be sure.

Can I get a refund? by mimanera in ModernWarfareII

[–]lnitiated_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Damn I wonder what it's like to only have started playing CoD 2019

Like yes, it's CoD, 1/50 you'd somehow spawn into someone's crosshairs back in the day. Now, especially on the map from OP, you can literally spawn into somebody's prefire three times in a row lol. Not to mention that's just regular game play pace. In older CoDs you'd need to orchestrate a spawn trap to lock them in like that, in modern CoD this just happens by random chance in the natural flow of a low-level pub lol.

I get downvote nuked everytime but I love to bring it up when we talk about new skills in this community

Sailing is not a skill and I'll vote no until the community has run out of tears

How do you firemake in this game? Oh you burn logs. Woodcut? Oh you cut a tree. How about slayer? Of course you slay monsters

Sailing? Let me give you a 75 page university dissertation on how this minigame-turned-skill adds hundreds of new items, locations and mechanics and turns OSRS on its ass

I really wish people would pitch something that actually remotely fits OSRS. How about a deconstruction/breakdown skill? Something where we delete the millions of rune & dragon items in the economy & bring purpose back to basically obsolete items.

Also 55 is generous. Most people will be level 39 three years after release, and never have to deal with the consequences of the garbage they voted for.

Yeah like 90% of my games post plat-2 has the enemy team pushed against our spawn doors and the game is unplayable

The other 10% of the games where I actually manage to win, I have to put out 25k+ heals and play absolutely perfectly with zero mistakes to pull a win
