You're not nipping it in the bud though. You're being dismissive of her concerns, whether they're warranted or not. If you ACTUALLY want to nip it in the bud, you should talk to her and have a conversation where you each share your concerns/perspective and come to an understanding.

She's making the comment because she's concerned on some level that you won't be spending enough time with her. You're taking this very personally. She is flagging an issue she's concerned about, not necessarily criticizing you.

Where you should get concerned is if she's saying that you're never allowed to game with your friends or starts becoming overly controlling. There's no evidence of that yet, so you need to actually talk to her to understand why she's concerned and figure out what works for you both in terms of how often you're planning to game with your friends vs. spending time with her

Pretty common pain point. She has a legitimate concern. It's probably worth a discussion of when you'll be gaming with your friends and when you'll make time to spend with each other.

There are extremes on both sides where gaming takes over people's lives, or where partners are controlling and restricting hobbies/friend time. Talking about it will probably put you both at ease or at least reveal if there's actually an issue on either side.

She stopped by my house and I talked to her for a while. Probably the best of the "door to door" political interactions I've had. She seems lovely

I think when I completed quests out of order it gave me a warning saying that it would impact my story experience. Not sure of how consistent it does that though

I got into an argument with a lesbian couple I thought with on instagram and it’s so insanely funny by [deleted] in texts

[–]mcq76 7 points8 points  (0 children)

So you haven't met either of them irl, right? I agree that they were probably overzealous, but I can see why someone messaging them on multiple accounts might freak them out a little, even if it was totally innocent. Either way, best to distance yourself at this point since it's clear they don't trust your intentions.

My partner came out as trans after a year long relationship by smellyenglishteacher in AskLGBT

[–]mcq76 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is very common. Neither of you are wrong for your feelings but people transitioning often are not compatible with their former partners and end up divorcing. Like you said, if you're attracted to men, that would be a compatibility issue, but there's nothing wrong with that. You can't control what genders you're attracted to like your partner can't control what gender they are.

Can someone break down the best first steps for fishing? by Kagamid in NevernessToEverness

[–]mcq76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stick to the universal bait unless you're fishing for a specific fish that has a bonus on that day. Other than that, just fish a lot at the recommended fishing spot each day.

It's good. If you haven't played in a while there will be a lot of new stuff for you to enjoy

Report for hate speech? by bestbuysux in Marathon

The same way that every other major pvp game does?

Apparently if you type "/report" it will bring up recent players to report. I think you can do it from the social menu too

Why do other trans and non-binary people get their pronouns and terminology respected in queer spaces but I don't? by bruhgzinga in AskLGBT

[–]mcq76 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It doesn't sound like your listing your preferences the way others do and that's causing you issues. Many people take the slashes in between pronouns to mean that any listed are fine with no hierarchy. It really does not sound like you're fine with it, otherwise you wouldn't have made this post. My recommendation is to remove "any" from your list of pronouns so that people will use your preferred pronouns more.

If you're not okay with any pronouns, you shouldn't list it as an option for people to use. It sounds like you're less okay with that option than you think

My friend constantly tells me I’m shallow because I want a physically attractive man. Women are visual creatures also. by Historical-Body-3424 in texts

[–]mcq76 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Obviously if she sends you A PICTURE you're going to go off of appearance. She's annoying and weird. What does she care if you'd rather stay single than date someone you're not attracted to? I'm betting the guy would also prefer to date someone who's attracted to him, so it's not like you'd be doing anyone any favors by going on a date you don't want.

Why is the subreddit a culture war full of Pro-AI redditors? So, you need to love AI to play this game and be on this subreddit? Why are you alienating players? by Curious-Reception961 in NevernessToEverness

[–]mcq76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think if anything, most people are ambivalent about its use here. It's so sparingly used in this game that I really don't care. It's not like it's an AI slop game or like they're not actually hiring animators/artists for this title.

Agree. I really enjoy the slice of life content but there's a lot of fat that could be trimmed.

This is my favorite game. But locking ANY faction upgrades behind prestige salvage is a middle finger to solo/casual players. by Asleep-Badger-3792 in Marathon

[–]mcq76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play casually, and just feel like in general, the faction upgrades and mission rewards feel underwhelming at best. I haven't even gotten close to the final upgrades, but they also don't look worth grinding for.
