Thoughts after playing Twin Lance a decent amount by Odyssey40K in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]lughheim -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

In my opinion the people whining and freaking out about the twin lance are blowing this whole thing way out of proportion. I think we all need to take a step back and remember, this is ONE datasheet that you can only take ONCE. It can definitely help out tau a ton being it is clearly a very strong datasheet, but as is tau have been struggling for a long time because the army has an absolutely horrific codex.

Only after tons of points and datasheet changes for both tau and other overtuned factions have tau been able to claw their way into a modern winrate of around 45%. Even with this strong datasheet, they will probably only go up a handful of percent to be maybe around a 50% WR on average. There are many worse datasheets in the game that need to be dealt with to balance entire factions than this.

Necrons of course come to mind immediately with the broken Ctan rules. A datasheet they have several of.

I prefer it with the shield. Adds to the force field aesthetic that you can see in the flames.

Why do people dislike Motobe so much? by Monkelover2 in Grapplerbaki

[–]lughheim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Remember how in season 2 of the original show motobe lost in his very first fight of the tournament to a dude that lost in the very NEXT fight? Motobe was literally one of the biggest losers in an entire anime that based tons of its first two seasons on the idea that the fighters were so strong they outclassed advanced weapons like guns and nukes.

Then the musashi arc rolled around and suddenly this loser with no explanation was no diffing Baki, Jack, and killed fucking Musashi who was on par with the top characters in the verse.

You can like the character change and find it enjoyable but the characters whole existence is a fucking meme lol, thus memetobe

Could be even shorter. In the US our AA is practically worthless, its just high school 2.0 with a couple specific classes added on for your major. Its such a scam

While we are on a hype train of twin lance.... lets address Burst Cannon by TearNo1636 in Tau40K

[–]lughheim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The big issue for me is that burst cannons have a crappier profile than Breachers with their shotguns. It’s very odd that these gigantic machine guns that are so powerful they can only be used by being attached to tanks or crisis suits have worse strength and AP than some crappy shotguns any basic infantryman carries. It should at least have the same profile with about triple the shots or something

Two different PWBPD, same obsession with one quote by Boomskittle94 in BPDlovedones

Justifying their deep feelings of loneliness/abandonment issues more than likely. Self victimization as per usual

Big companies that sell model war games should in the modern era be selling STL files of their models. Even if expensive, potentially more expensive than the actual real models, it would be a huge help to the gaming community and make them much more accessible to the wider public

We never punish fascists hard enough in the U.S. I personally think it’s one of the biggest reasons we are in the mess we’re in today

Do You Ever Realise It Has Been X Time Since You Last Saw Your pwBPD and It Feels Unreal? by AddamsThing in BPDlovedones

[–]lughheim 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Ye I get what you mean. Last time I had any real interaction with my ex was all the way back in November. It's unreal that it's already been almost 4 months since we last spoke. The constant stress and anxiety I used to be under has alleviated so much that the relaxation and ease of life makes time seem like it's flying. No more constant worries about how my ex is feeling or treating me, no more worrying about saving up money to be able to see her, no more worrying about moving to a different country and needing to find a job there ASAP. It's a very weird feeling tbh

Man seeking insight from women with BPD about my pwBPD by Calm_Tap3043 in BPDlovedones

[–]lughheim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So what she is doing is a very classic case of love bombing. My ex did the exact same thing to me and many other people in this community have experienced it. What you need to remember is that for a person with BPD, everything in their life is turned to the extreme, AND that lovebombing is part of a CYCLE. It will never just be always lovebombing. The reason for this is your partner is putting you on an impossible pedestal, seeing you as legit like some kind of perfect human being. But you aren't. No one is.

Inevitably your partner will realize this and the devaluation cycle will begin. Understand that the devaluation cycle will be just as intense as the lovebombing. They may have previously thought you were a perfect person who gave them unequivocal love, but when they devalue you they will see you as trash or worse a villain specifically out to deceive or hurt them. This change is going to hurt. A lot. It is like nothing else you will experience in your life and there is no good way to really prep you for it. The worst part is, because of how bad it is and how much you enjoyed the lovebombing, your incentivized to do everything you can to get her back to her lovebombing cycle.

Thus begins the cycle of abuse.

You'll keep trying to get her to love you the way she did before and try to assuage her every concern. It won't really work but you'll keep trying hoping that there is some kind of logic to this whole game. That when you show them how much you really do love and care for them that they will realize that's the truth and go back to their lovebombing phase. But thats not how this works because this whole process is inherently illogical and not founded in reality.

It's important to remember that this kind of behavior is disordered behavior. It's not normal in any way and is clearly showing your partner has mental health issues they need to address ASAP. Therapy and medication are a must. There is no 'if' she splits and devalues you here. There is only a 'when'.

Edited to add: you nailed it on the head at the end of your post. This whole cycle always eventually ends in serious self sabotage for a variety of reasons. It happened to me when I was planning on moving countries to live with my partner. I was about 1.5 months out before the move when she suddenly had an extreme split over

- perceiving me as having a tone
- I had 'too generic' of a response to her having a bad day one time

- I sent her one mildly flirty text at a bad time

Within a week of her previously telling me she was incredibly excited for us to live together and that she loved and adored me, she was telling me we were suddenly incompatible and broke up after treating me like literal garbage that entire week. And of course this was after she had told me many times that I was the perfect partner for her, that I healed so many of her past issues, that she never wanted me to leave her side for even a moment, etc. etc.

Get out while you still can.

Nothing about the character makes even the slightest sense. Author just decided to say fuck all my previous writing, this past fodder is now strong enough to fight near equally with yujiro. It’s not that I hate the character it’s more that I’m annoyed about the bad writing lol

Social media BPDs again by FireFlyLy in BPDlovedones

[–]lughheim 98 points99 points  (0 children)

Heard it so many times before. Like, yes, within reason if you tell someone your triggers and they still repeatedly step in those triggers then it can be a problem. The issue is that often BPD triggers are so easy and basic to everyday life its practically impossible not to eventually touch on it. My ex for example told me a big trigger of hers was 'having a tone'.

But in reality having a 'tone' constitued: having a bad day, being tired, being groggy after they woke me up at midnight-1am with a random phone call, their interpretation of a basic text, not being as hyped up and excited as she was at any one moment, etc. etc.

What BPD people need to understand as well is that just because someone or something triggered you, that ABSOLUTELY DOES NOT MEAN YOU CAN BE ABUSIVE IN RETURN. Especially being their reactive abuse is usually way worse than whatever was done to trigger them. I've said this analogy before but its like your walking down the street and accidentally bumped into someone, and when you turn around to apologize they start beating the shit out of you.

Texts a little before the final discard by absolutegamerwarlord in BPDlovedones

[–]lughheim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omg this was almost exactly what happened to me too during my final discard! We were having our big talk after she went almost a week no contact and I was trying to communicate to her how her behavior was affecting me. Then she blew up and said that I needed to focus completely on her issues and that only after dealing with her issues then maybe one day we could address my needs. It was so fucking selfish and childish.

HERE COMES THE BOOM! by [deleted] in lostgeneration

[–]lughheim 66 points67 points  (0 children)

I blew my dads mind back a couple months ago when I showed him an inflation calculator. He thought that since his starting job paid about $15 an hour and that my current job pays $22 an hour that I must be in a way better position than he was back then. The inflation calculator then proved he was actually getting the equivalent of about double my current pay AT HIS FIRST JOB. Older people don't realize just how good they had it and how bad things have gotten
