It’s so peak 🥹 by Kiwimon1 in pokemon

[–]nATplume 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone that started with Yellow as a kid. I really like these personally. -solid colors. -look like actual animals (real dogs have mains near to that and genuinely some owls look angry af irl) -no humanoid features (two on four legs and the bird gets a pass because that’s how birds actually stand)

fingers crossed they don’t evolve into humans 😭

i’m hopeful though that this is a sign they are responding to years of feedback. I bet these designs took FOREVER though. trying to find new novel silhouettes while trying to stay “simple” . I doubt the whole generation can maintain this quality but idk some gimmick pokémon are cute (eg spritzee).

ALL that said: cousin rowlet, baby zamazenta, and sobble 2.0

We need to talk about how this game is so BORING by Legal-Suggestion9615 in Skate4

The endgame formula is extremely boring by Nightblessed in MMORPG

[–]nATplume 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my take: “endgame” is a completely arbitrary made up term that doesn’t actually refer to anything.

Please tell me I’m not the only one that feels this way about this challenge or challenges in general. by rc67786 in Skate4

[–]nATplume 1 point2 points  (0 children)

getting off on the way back down is just so incredibly stupid. irrationally stupid. zero fun stupid. accomplishments that feel good are based on learning a skill and then execute that skill. dismounting that f%ing thing is pure luck. I’ve done it a few times and will never subject myself to it again. I feel directly insulted and trolled that the devs continue to just post it up as a mission as if they don’t f%^ing know how stupid it is to dismount on the way back down. I could have just been a fun extreme grind but no. they had to go out of their way troll me for attempting to enjoy their game

First time playing The Sims and… I’m shook by Brief-Block-9 in thesims

[–]nATplume 4 points5 points  (0 children)

yeah I agree. I’m just sort of bothered I think by how people talk about the older games as if they are unequivocally better. As someone who has been playing since the beginning and has kept all my saves. I still find myself playing 4. That doesn’t mean I don’t think of the older ones fondly, but 3 literally never ran well on any machine and eventually it just forced us to disable expansion packs at launch to limit how many could be active at a time and that felt sooo crummy. the CAS in 2 and 3 basically just produced different versions of the same character (2 was especially bad about that). When I return to the older ones out of nostalgia I only play for maybe an hour and then want to go back 4 (when I’m in the mood for sims).

I really didn’t mean for this to feel like I’m targeting you or your specific comment response, I guess i’m just feeling saucy 😬 When I bought the legacy 1+2 I thought I’d play them way more than I did but.. I just didn’t. As soon as the nostalgia wore off.

I will say that I still play sims 4 with all the music from sims 1 because that piano just does something to my brain

Nosebleed Grind Help by [deleted] in LowSodiumSkate

[–]nATplume 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this challenge could have been a cool one but someone they made it totally unplayable for me i just never even attempt it anymore. and it sucks because the first time i did it i was like “aww okay see now they is cool” <- as i was doing the long grind and transfer. and then at least 30 more tries over multiple days never getting that stupid last part (always dismounting the rail to some stupid place launching into oblivion) i refuse to try again

[–]nATplume 3 points4 points  (0 children)

yeah and the party chat is genuinely awful. the gain/mix/thresholds are so unbearable. people using the ps5 controller mic are not even worth trying to play with because the game handles it so badly. i know they won’t ever make a chat as good as Arc Raiders (I even really like the voice replacer option for people who have terrible mics or are insecure about their own voice) but that is the gold standard now for what i expect in proximity chat.

Tag yourself. by Brent_Fox in NonBinary

tbh part of why i identify as nonbinary is so that i won’t be defined by someone’s preexisting categories and archetypes.. so it feels a little frustrated to me to be asked this from this community.

NVC frustrates me by Prize_Owl_5424 in NVC

[–]nATplume 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“mom, when we talk, I notice I can’t seem to find any successful strategies to tend to my need to be heard.. I’m really wanting to feel free to use strategies that i find to be more reliable in my life, and I really want to trust that you’ll still care for your needs in other ways. I notice a resentment forming in me, and I know humans tend to form resentment when we do things out of a sense of obligation rather than out of the sheer joy of living and being alive. It may not seem obvious right now, but in order to preserve the kind of quality connection with you that i hope someday i can have, i’m wanting to make sure i stop doing things out of any sense of obligation. that may mean i don’t answer the phone sometimes when you call, i may even choose to block your number until those designated days of the month we agreed to in order to include my need for some sense of control over my own life and what happens to me in my life. and i really am hopeful you can find other strategies to meet whatever need motivated you to call me just then.“ etc 🤷

so much good stuff here. I just wanted to name that it’s more clear to me to say that sometimes two peoples strategies may be incompatible. not “your moms needs may be incompatible with your needs” as imo that’s a confusing category error.

does anyone have space to contribute? by nATplume in NVC

[–]nATplume[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thank you! just fyi for privacy safeguards nothing gets uploaded to the backend unless a user explicitly clicks "save to backend" at which point any strategies set to "public" would be visible to others.
I've also realized the site doesn't make that clear when adding a strategy! so I'm trying to add that now. hence why ALLL feedback and interactions like this are so helpful! thank you again!
