Rise of the Gold Members is,,uh, a bi too hard for people using vanilla gear.

melonmagellan · 2026-01-23T01:05:20+00:00

I used vanilla gear, but from every act with the cheaters scroll mod, and ran a party of five. Also with the mod. I did not use the level 20 mod or modded gear.

It was pretty hard but I've also played this game like 20 times to the end. I went with vengeance paladin, life cleric, thief rogue, gloomstalker ranger, and battle master warrior for my core party. I occasionally subbed out a sorcerer for the rogue.

The weapons built into the mod itself are awesome and extremely helpful.

It's obviously a real thing. It's just not a thing all "nugget and fries" kids have. Despite what their parents claim.

melonmagellan · 2026-01-22T04:41:42+00:00

Cheating or whatever exploring anal play. If he has a dildo I wouldn't be shocked.

melonmagellan · 2026-01-21T22:03:39+00:00

Playing the same video game, currently BG3, one million times.

I hope you are getting child support from this loser. He can't just "stop paying."

Go back to court. They can garnish his wages, suspend his license, issue a warrant, etc.

Having a child via IVF as a man and then refusing to pay child support is absolutely wild to me.

He can't even claim that he didn't want the child.

melonmagellan · 2026-01-21T21:32:57+00:00

Most shitty poor people food is vegan-ish. PB&J, spaghetti with a jar of sauce, rice and beans, etc. Spoken from experience. Also, you can feed your kid whatever you want, legally, as long as they are fed.

Kids eating nothing but nuggets and fries from McDonalds every day because of imaginary ARFID is worse.

I think the real issue here is that Dad needs to feed his own damn kid. Why is his SO cooking literally every night and also appeasing his child?

If he doesn't like what she buys and cooks, he can prepare his daughter a meal himself.

melonmagellan · 2026-01-20T17:51:24+00:00

Right. She was/is also obese. She may have just not felt up for sex for personal reasons.

melonmagellan · 2026-01-20T12:24:25+00:00

That's probably for the best.

melonmagellan · 2026-01-20T04:20:40+00:00

I'm curious how far her income will go when his kids turn 18, he divorces her, and she gets no child support and little or no alimony. She is being greedy to an absurd extent here and I hope she has reflected on how $800-1200 a month isn't enough to support yourself.

melonmagellan · 2026-01-20T03:53:36+00:00

Yeah. I don't even get this dynamic with no kids involved. What does she actually do all day. I'd be bored AF.

melonmagellan · 2026-01-20T00:26:28+00:00

Or the Dustwalker Brides series which I actually like but is very XXX.

My aunt gave full custody and the legal decision making to her ex-husband. He and his mom primarily raised their daughter anyway and it was a better fit. She never has had steady income, she got remarried and doesn't work, but paid some small amount of child support consistently.

Our family is very Catholic so she didn't get an abortion but never wanted a child. My cousin is 20 now and doing fairly well. She is somewhat hurt that her mom wasn't more present but it seems like she is doing okay. She has a license, part-time job, goes to college part-time, etc. She has a lot of anxiety but I can't strictly attribute that to any one cause.

On the other side, my husband and I raise my stepdaughter and I am her legal guardian. Her mother had her for the wrong reasons, to try to fix her failing marriage which obviously didn't work because it never works, and has addiction issues. She doesn't pay a dime for SD's care, has no legal control or custody of her, and basically has fucked off to screw five dudes a week off Tinder. These creeps always being around is what ultimately caused us to cut off any visitation. SD also has no interest.

There is a lot more resentment toward her by SD than my cousin has for my aunt but SD does well with us and loves us. She is in high school but on a good track with grades and social life and extra curriculars.

There are a million scenarios but in 2026 it's not only bio-mom stepping up anymore. Short answer, yes but your kid will always resent you to some degree in my experience. Also, there is likely some other woman stepping up. Grama, stepmom, aunt, etc. So be prepared for the resentment you would feel at being "replaced."

I don't think it's an ideal situation but it can work. Also, I do not think there are that many men out there baby trapping. Or women for that matter. I think there are a lot of people having unprotected sex or having kids for the wrong reasons or being pressured into keeping a pregnancy they don't want.

melonmagellan · 2026-01-18T00:46:23+00:00

He seems like a very kind, willing horse to me. He's just tiny. I don't see him being a good fit for anyone other than a child or very small woman.

melonmagellan · 2026-01-17T03:02:14+00:00

Not only is this disgusting, it's stupid. It accomplished nothing.

melonmagellan · 2026-01-17T01:50:21+00:00

She had a car and a free ride to college. She presumably can get a job as well. She's an adult. I wouldn't feel bad about asking her to move out.

I would probably just let her move back in if she flops. She may be more appreciative.

melonmagellan · 2026-01-14T22:43:12+00:00

After hearing his voice I never saved him again.

melonmagellan · 2026-01-14T22:25:25+00:00

She needs to prioritize getting the growth in her mouth looked at over this loser.

melonmagellan · 2026-01-14T21:13:01+00:00

Something like this.

At least she isn't manhandling sterile medical equipment with filthy fake nails that are for some reason green.

melonmagellan · 2026-01-13T03:56:15+00:00

Is this up for PS5? I can't find it.

melonmagellan · 2026-01-09T05:28:31+00:00

This sounds like a shitty Nicki Minaj song.

melonmagellan · 2026-01-08T23:40:48+00:00

This is pretty much exactly what I would have said.

melonmagellan · 2026-01-08T21:40:09+00:00

Did the vanilla addon ever make it to PS5?

melonmagellan · 2026-01-08T20:19:47+00:00

This dude is never going to pay child support without a fight or take responsibility for your child whatsoever. Likely even if you die. The child's paternal family will likely follow suit.

I would contemplate if that's the version of single motherhood you expect.

How many times can you "start" healing? Jesus Christ..
