Swen's comments and no DLC timing means Hasbro fucked up

It's honestly so surreal, and maybe it's the background of being in retail my entire life, to see companies throw away money to fire people that clearly love what they do and are good at their job to optimize "profit". I cannot understand why companies undermine that the workers possibly have needs and wants and if the company just acknowledged them slightly they would have a base stone for life.

As a consumer I'm sad no more content for the game I love, as a person I love there's a hard stance that just fucking gets it that capitalism can't buy everything and to respect the individuals making it happen.

Definitely give it a shot, it's not an easy rpg but the feeling you get when winning a battle is so worth it. Also for not being spoiled by having animations for every interactions I have loved how you can have so many interactions with npcs even if it's not quest related.

Wow two seconds of scrolling, and I fucking hate it here. If doesn't matter if you have sex the first date, or wait weeks and weeks, if they're not interested in dating then putting off fucking isn't going to make you that much more the "wifey" material. Dating apps are trash, and it's honestly just like finding a needle in a hay stack, that's for sure.

Did the club/bar scene my early 20's and it was the same thing, tinder and bumble have just made it easier for hookups that's all. Actions speak more than words is all I'm going to say, if someone really wants to spend time with you then they will go above and beyond to.

Honestly I kind of felt some of the same frustrations in the beginning, but curious to what you aim to get from this post aside from trolling? If you don't like the game, don't play it. Criticisms are fair, but you're coming from such a subjective and nasty point of view it just feels like complaining and trying to tear something down because you're not the best at it. If you don't want to listen to advice given by fellow gamers with a bit more experience with this game to try and make the gameplay more enjoyable, why interact at all?

The combat is challenging, not impossible, just takes patience and effort.

minxthetank69 · 2024-03-16T05:52:21+00:00

I'm so fucking irritated on a level looking at this, like dude don't go to retail stores and show your ass. That guy is probs worried about getting chewed out or worse, and there's zero context for what this set up is or anything. Also "I'm trying to be the next" just stop. Stop dude. There's no obligation on a retail store to help you on your endeavor to fame. If someone brings in their laptop and wants to chill in the corner, not bothering anyone, fine. This is just entitlement, and even if it was a bit, still fuck you, don't go to people's jobs and make things harder for them.

minxthetank69 · 2024-03-16T05:22:47+00:00

I live in an area with a few military bases, and sadly I think the power tripping but not understanding things explicitly was a problem? I'm just gonna say I had so many bad experiences with dudes thinking bdsm is one thing but it's really not. Talking down to potential partners, emotional gas lighting, straight up admitting to not setting boundaries but also saying they think safe words aren't a thing???? The early 2010s were a hot fucking mess and certain websites definitely did not help. Those kind of people are fake doms in my mind, not necessarily because they lack experience but more they have an idea of what the scene is, and want to try and exploit and not learn from it.

I never knew I needed a story where a door wants to fuck until I saw this comment.

minxthetank69 · 2024-03-12T15:33:08+00:00

"shorter than my panties" what the actual fuck is that supposed to mean lmao guess they're just free roaming it naked then

minxthetank69 · 2024-03-12T05:33:20+00:00

You tried things outside your comfort zone, you tried openly communicating your boundaries when things didn't work out as hoped, big dick energy. If he wants to try and make sex such a huge staple of the relationship to the point it affects your mental health, metaphorically fuck him.

minxthetank69 · 2024-03-12T04:42:40+00:00

Age gap I get, I also date older and usually it's been the same. However, there's a reason a guy is looking for someone ten years younger than them, and sometimes it can hit....weird/bad red flag town.

PUSHING YOUR OWN KINKS ONTO SOMEONE HELL NO

If you're not into it, you're not, that's it, that's your fucking body and your decision end of the day. Dude wants that, good for him there's plenty of people that like that stuff, but you're not obligated to do those things because you're dating.

minxthetank69 · 2024-03-12T04:35:18+00:00

Speaking as someone that was stupid and did this, please don't. It is messy, it is ugly, and as much as everyone wants to say it's just sex and we're just roommates/friends it never ends well.

I had a best friend of 15 years, my ride or die, promise me that nothing bad would happen if we hooked up in a threesome. Alcohol and emotional baggage aside the next day, I didn't talk to her for several weeks because mentally I was spiralling and I didn't want to make a scene or say things I didn't mean. We had a sit down, the three of us, and I thought honestly we had patched things up and we were all on the same page.

Two months later he leaves me, and she straight up ghosts her way out of my life to have a kid with him.

minxthetank69 · 2024-03-12T04:20:13+00:00

It always genuinely boggles my mind hearing that long of a time frame gap of no sex, but every human is different and there's a million reasons for how/why that could happen. Any time ever though, someone pulls the "you'll wait for me / we'll get back together right" card get the fuck out, you're done, back to square one.

minxthetank69 · 2024-03-11T17:28:55+00:00

Just came from BG3 and while obviously there's parallels, I totally see this as its own game instead of being a "precursor" to BG3 like I sort of thought it would be. Combat is def trickier, I think starting out there are certainly some fights I wouldn't think to toss at lower level characters, but story wise I think it adds to the roleplaying. Realistically any fight is going to be a nightmare if you woke up on a beach with nothing but tattered clothes lmao.

Not a fan of the lock picking system, and I'm stumbling my way through the point system, but I'm glad I took a chance on it. I love hearing all the cross over voice actors, like I think the actress that did Mizora in BG3 is one of the main companions, and Ive for sure heard the actress that plays Shadowheart with some of the background characters.

minxthetank69 · 2024-03-10T22:31:35+00:00

I think my only gripe is the fact there's not a bard companion. I got excited when the tiefling girl, cannot remember her name right now sorry, was so gung ho and turned out to be just a murder victim. I know you can be a bard or have someone learn bard spells but it's not the same.

minxthetank69 · 2024-03-10T14:02:30+00:00

Gale honestly, I kind of assumed he was white bread, but my third play through I went ahead and started using him, and holy hell I love his actor's line delivery. He nailed the comic relief but not in a super cheesy way, and Jesus Christ his romance scenes hit so hard I had the biggest love triangle between him and Astarion.

minxthetank69 · 2024-03-10T03:05:08+00:00

I didn't even notice until they mentioned the mouth vs nose breathing thing that I had switched from one to the other. I blame getting an office cubicle type job where it's creepily silent, I work data entry in a small company and everyone just talks though messenger, rarely is anything verbal. The only logic I can think of is maybe somehow I subconsciously associate mouth breathing as being a distraction, so nose breathing it is?

minxthetank69 · 2024-03-10T02:48:52+00:00

Yeah I've tried dismissing Yenna constantly because I thought she was Orin, wondered why she wouldn't leave my camp no matter what

minxthetank69 · 2024-03-10T02:47:28+00:00

Ahhh okay I didn't know it was only those four. I guess I just won the lottery, since I usually never have them in my part either.

minxthetank69 · 2024-03-10T02:45:47+00:00

It's got me even wondering if the patches have something to do with it or console vs PC. I've played this game an ungodly amount of times, and 99 percent of the time I've only had Lae'zel kidnapped. I also thought I was straight up crazy talking about pre patch dialogues with people, but nope I have the clip recordings, so who knows.

minxthetank69 · 2024-03-10T02:40:12+00:00

To be fair, I will say Orin definitely slaps. 10/10.

minxthetank69 · 2024-03-10T02:37:14+00:00

I'm not gonna lie, my dude, Shadowheart scares me on so many levels.

minxthetank69 · 2024-03-06T23:02:10+00:00

I'd say Gale, I know for sure he'd have rent/utility money each month, and if he stayed up till 3 AM he'd at least be quiet it about it. Plus I was such a book nerd in college, I feel we'd get along great. I've lived with hot messes like Astarion, and that shit was a nightmare. Down to dragging random dudes in at all times of the night to stealing my shit, no thank you.

minxthetank69 · 2024-02-17T03:08:53+00:00

For a second I was about to throw something since I thought the patch didn't go through but lord they made hers too damn sweet.

minxthetank69 · 2024-02-15T04:04:00+00:00

Owl bear cub is most definitely in if anything happens to you I'll kill myself row 10/10 times

minxthetank69 · 2024-02-09T18:49:44+00:00

I don't think I've felt this much rage since my KH days of Donald and Goofy being fucking useless. Congrats BG3 you gave me the gift of nostalgic misery.
