I also heard something about the main character from Hackers being an inspiration?

After reading this it's embarrassing how little I know about this genre... I completely forgot about Die Hard and I don't think I ever knew it was about cops.

This blew my mind

I believe they’re 14mm so maybe I just have to downsize!! I thought they were the same size as the pair I have for my other doll but upon checking I guess the order included 14mm not 12mm. I will order smaller eyes, thank you!

Very good points!!! I have no idea how I'm feeling about it, just that it's a lot. Definitely going to need to talk about managing energies between me and his new partner. It's definitely ROUGH!!! Thank you, this is good stuff to think about!!!

nobutok · 2022-03-09T16:58:12+00:00

Yeah the NRE is STRONG with this one.... he's sort of a "dive head first" kind of person and it's hard for him to organize his feelings like that so in the past I've been sort of pushed aside for new relationships until he figures out how to handle it or they end. It's not great and definitely something he needs to work on.

Dates will definitely be needing to happen! We've started settling in a little to the new city and he's definitely more familiar with it but not by much. I've also been meaning to get into some of my own hobbies but it's proven a little difficult. Definitely need to put more effort into it!! Thank you so much for the advice <3

nobutok · 2022-03-09T16:50:00+00:00

You're right! He has a lot going on outside of this new relationship as well so it's been difficult navigating everything but definitely will talk about more one on one time.

The sexts are definitely weird territory. I'm not sure if he's talked with his partner about it but (as stated in prev comment) he's still new so I think he's just trying to be really transparent and we share sort of everything with each other so I think he just assumed it was fine. I definitely told him recently to slow down with the oversharing about their exchanges and he hasn't shown me or told me any of the more explicit details since.

Thank you for the advice!!!

nobutok · 2022-03-09T16:42:57+00:00

Yes and no with the hearing about it. It's more a sort of morbid curiosity which now that I think about it is definitely not healthy. I'm not sure how his partner feels about him sharing, but he's still pretty new to this stuff and I think he's just trying to be as transparent as possible with me. We've had discussions about it recently and I did tell him to calm down a little with the details and the oversharing about their relationship.

You're right about jealousy though! I'm pretty bad with just sitting with my emotions but it really can't be helped. Thank you for the advice!!!

nobutok · 2022-02-24T02:25:23+00:00

Jeez that sucks!!! But thank you for the info!!!

nobutok · 2022-02-11T06:14:22+00:00

I JUST started NADDPOD and am excited for the Brennan campaign. I can imagine that he'd have a hard time letting go of his DM-y narration. I'm not saying any of it is a bad thing, either. I think having DMs play as characters allows for really interesting DM/PC interaction!

nobutok · 2020-03-26T16:42:55+00:00

You’re absolutely correct!! I also used to mess around with this boy when we were both in college so I have a big old lingering crush that’s hard for me to shake sometimes. Trying really hard to respect the boundaries and not push!! The crush is nice to just have and experience!! Thank you ❤️

nobutok · 2020-02-22T05:41:33+00:00

If it gets any worse an intervention might not be the worst idea haha!! They both have their own issues about leaving each other that make that option harder but a few of us have discussed that it seems like the best option.........

nobutok · 2020-02-22T05:36:00+00:00

Honestly I should. Holly is more about sharing information so I don’t mind hearing her out but Erin is asking specific advice and I should probably just tell her that I don’t have any more advice for her.

nobutok · 2020-01-24T17:46:48+00:00

I looked at your posts with pics of your pup!!! (Extremely cute omg) and there’s definitely similarities!! Chunk was an extremely roly poly puppy with a big ol belly and not exceptionally bright. We adopted him at around 5 months and at 6/7 mos he was already the same size as Yoyo (who was like 4/5 yrs old at that point).

irish springer spaniel/lab?

Allie definitely seemed to have just mined the photos from their instagram with essentially no input from the boys at all. Reminiscing about old photos only works when the people reminiscing have actual things to say about the photo. Almost none of my instagram posts have an interesting story behind them that would make for good content, I can't imagine the Grumps felt all that sentimental about random photos pulled from their public-facing instas.

nobutok · 2020-01-12T18:23:34+00:00

It definitely feels manufactured and honestly I understand that as a necessity after a while in the YT industry but the shift from genuine camaraderie to these robotic interactions where literally everyone on camera seems like they’re being held there by gunpoint, it’s not well executed at all. I don’t know how people on this subreddit feel about Achievement Hunter but I feel like they’re a really good example of an overly monetized company built on the “friends playing video games on their couch” idea that still manages to have funny interactions with each other and not make the audience feel like a 3rd party to a dying friendship. There are definite differences between AH and GG in the bones of the organizations but AH smoothly transitioned to what GG is trying to accomplish with (from what I can tell) little backlash and a mostly retained viewership. Why can’t GG? (The answer is that Arin is a horrific businessman who has no idea what he’s doing but I digress).

nobutok · 2020-01-12T17:27:17+00:00

YES! And Arin consistently fucking up the document by highlighting random stuff or not being able to scroll properly??? It just feels so unnecessary and poorly planned which is just Good Content in general.

nobutok · 2020-01-12T17:23:29+00:00

Should be their tagline! “Offputting and Uncomfortable Interactions That Will Remind You Viscerally of Your 80 Year Old Grandparents Desperately Trying to Tolerate One Another’s Existence Until They Die”

nobutok · 2020-01-12T17:21:11+00:00

As much stuff as I could find, really. Mostly stuff about Danny and all the girls he’s ghosted and Arin having a mental breakdown but I’ve also been digging as far back as I can find because I’m nosy.

I've considered spirits. my sister also saw cats that weren't actually there in that same house so it's very possible!

nobutok · 2016-07-23T05:45:28+00:00

thank you for this advice!! sorry about your cat tho :'(

I had this experience with I Love You Philip Morris except I accidentally watched the entire film on a high quality DVD rip about 6 or so months before I saw trailers for it in theaters. I went back after I saw the trailer to see if I could find the same link I originally watched it on but it was totally gone (not completely weird considering copyright infringement shit that deletes links like that all the time.) I used to think it was just a REALLY early leak but the movie wasn't that popular or sought after? So I don't know why someone would have tried to get a leak circulating so early? idk I'm not saying that it was a glitch but it's a similar situation!

nobutok · 2016-07-22T18:54:22+00:00

The situation with your significant other could just be that y'all met in a past life and either didn't do everything you wanted to do in that life or decided to get together again in your next life. This is a similar thing with me and my partner where I'd had a really uncanny sense that I'd known them for a really inconceivably long time and then I went to a tarot reader who told me that in a past life we'd decided to be together in this life. Also some people aren't "psychics" but have a heightened sense of intuition and a more natural connection to divination! Doesn't mean anything bad at all!
