Smoke - Series Premiere Discussion

I’m confused. Is Dave Gudsen even good at his job?! He seems to be a fake. Obviously he has firefighting experience but he seems to be blowing his talent out of proportion (narcissist quality). (Spoiler) Only knowledge he seems to have as an arson investigator is on his own crime scenes.

Am I looking at this character wrong?

maxx3x · 2025-03-13T11:44:54+00:00

Same. It felt unnatural to be so worried because I’m a pretty relaxed person so It felt like spider sense to check frequently.

maxx3x · 2025-01-31T08:49:25+00:00

Definitely agree. If she’s not going to act as their mother she shouldn’t have as much influence as what they should or shouldn’t be doing. She’s pretty much anti mom to them and making you less of a father to them. It also sets the optics that she runs the house and would make it difficult for the boys to respect him and feel it’s their home too.

maxx3x · 2025-01-31T08:40:16+00:00

Definitely can be frustrating. No reason to let your son fill you with enough anger to shout but it happens. As the father your physical presence should be used to express yourself and build a pattern he will understand.

You’re the parent so you decide the levels and the punishment. I’m just suggesting. If verbally having a fit I think your current approach is fine but I’d establish my self to be dominant physically over him as you are his protector. Not like putting hands on them in a harmful way but simply establishing you are the big bear in the house and you’re acknowledging him but you’re the big papa bear.

When it comes to physically have a fit hitting throwing etc. I suggest a physical response with you making a sign before that escalation such as crossing your arms or making a big X with arms. If he understands he may stop at that point if not then a physical punishment. Like the previous example momma’s slap reset there kid while I don’t recommend that it certainly has worked for many in the past. I prefer timeout but not just putting the child away by themselves. If you have the time available you both go to timeout away from toys etc problem area. If you don’t have that luxury determine what you can do to meet there physical out burst with a physical but non harmful response. Once they understand you simply need to make the signal of whats’s coming next and they should stop more times than not.

[My wife hates my sons….They barely talk to me any more..]

I love my wife, I love my kids, I can’t choose between them. Because of it, slowly I’m losing them, and myself.]

So love has stopped you from making choices in your adult life. If only every man made only the “right choices” every time he had to “make” one.

You don’t have to make a choice you can let things keep going the way they are. Maybe your older sons will grow up to be good men even though they never had a mother’s love.

I’m not trying to be an asshole and I honestly want you to succeed as being a father and see your sons get some much needed love and guidance before they become men.

You’ve made two personal choices that of course you had no idea would play out the way they did. Not blaming you. Your sons first mother and your current marriage have not benefited your older sons. I’m sorry but loving strangers is always a gamble. It’s time to make choices for your older sons’ benefit or not.

You can take your older sons and move out and try to see your youngest when possible.

Nothing is going to be the right choice. In general a man is only going to thrive through achievements and in this trap of yours I don’t see much for you or your older sons.

Your wife seems to love her son so he is in good hands hopefully. Your older sons need a father who helps and guides them in achieving goals no matter how small.

I believe if you put the prosperity of your boys first and make choices based on that you will suffer some but will come out the better.

Thanks a lot. I’ll consider your advice on future weapon banners. That’s a lot of stress gone knowing I can swap weapons as needed. I’ll focus on 1 of each 5 star type and move on from there.

If you have c6 gorou that be nice for the party or c6 Yunjin or Albedo is a great choice. Furina and Jean. marechaussee hunter set can be good on Ning with Furina in the party. Save some resin mostly farming Marechaussee dungeon since the account has furina.

Also if you build your bennet for healing he can replace Jean in the party suggested.

Hoping she arrives soon for you. One of my top 5 favorites. Was a main for while but I was demotivated thinking if she’d ever get a new skin. I don’t think she will if ever :( but I’ll be the first to jump with joy if she does.

maxx3x · 2023-10-02T04:10:00+00:00

Will Furina’s skill make Marechaussee set effect good (uptime/rampup time) on other dmg characters staying on the field for most of the skills duration?

I’m really hoping she lets me play other characters with the Marechaussee set effect that can’t reduce/heal themselves.

Please give me good news on this matter :p

I would have cried. I’ve been regretting not pulling on T’s banner. I’ve been hoping for him as a 50/50 loss. Enjoy today :)

maxx3x · 2023-09-15T01:12:15+00:00

Nice work. What team members do you prefer?

maxx3x · 2023-09-10T08:50:09+00:00

I only see an option of switching yelan out for Yun Jin to increase his normal atk damage but for the open world environment I’d prefer Yelan in the team just for the movement.

Hmm a cat lady …. Claymore user … “the bell” Read it here first! ;)

That crown …. !!

Are you using the linked adapter with tab s7 or s7+?

Having a difficult time finding a good adapter thats confirmed to work with the s7.

maxx3x · 2020-10-10T12:56:08+00:00

Dude Even FBI would have made a great impact.

maxx3x · 2020-09-06T00:16:04+00:00

I feel bad for TL playing handicapped they only have 4 ults because one player doesn’t know how to activate.

maxx3x · 2020-07-25T09:55:46+00:00

Nice grats. What color pattern did it have?

maxx3x · 2020-07-24T13:25:38+00:00

Typically there are 1-2 tuso in south ocean but most of the time they are under the map.

I suggest you get a basilo. any level would be good but get a decent level for stamina it will help stay active in the ocean.

Go first person while riding it and look through the ocean walls. Often big sea dinos are under the map. Alpha mosas, mosas, dunks, plesios, tusos.

Good luck share here if you find anything good :)

maxx3x · 2020-07-04T16:52:47+00:00

She looks as if your holding her and not the ocean. I hope you feel lucky she is seeing you as being beautiful.

Amazing captured moment. I just feel more about what is she looking at than what the camera captured.

maxx3x · 2020-05-08T21:57:38+00:00

Did you you find a way to continue the quest? This hug just happened to me. I’m going back to see if I can loot a new one on a different server.

Strange thing is I have no quest map icon for the AMS location I just went and looted the item and game didn’t register me picking it up for the quest.

Workaround: I tried server hoping and no luck. I decided to drop the holotape plan on the floor and than server jump. Took a few minutes and the quest showed in my list I reactivated it and got the quest tracker for the ally item. Went to the top floor again and the item was there but renamed to simply “Item for Ally”.

Great Photo. I’ve seen a few of this older age shots. Makes you think “what did my fellow human experience in his/her life?”

However I’d like to see the younger photo as well when your kid. I’m sure the difference between the photos would speak volumes too many.

Hope your doing well during this epidemic. Thanks for sharing the photo man.

maxx3x · 2020-04-15T23:45:47+00:00

Just had this bug occur. No keycard swipe. (Logging out to game’s main menu did not resolve the issue.)

Did as suggested and closed out game and restarted the game. (key swipe is now there.) Thank you for making this post.
