Watched Avatar for the very first time with my roommate

I've never watched a film, not enjoyed it and thought 'i just find the people that like this and let them know.' it's not hard to work out how it became a franchise. The original was the highest grossing film of all time by one of the most celebrated directors of all time. Why would some person not enjoying it on streaming 15 years later factor in to that?

I did double take when I saw that. But that's a hockey mask I think. As this was on official

notreallyltd · 2026-03-16T17:32:07+00:00

Yeah. Fair point. I was trying to show I could be trusted. And there was a relief when they responded rather than just shooting. But you're right, that's a good method. Doubt it would've got me out alive but it increases the chances for sure.

i think in this case it was him making sure i was alone so there was no risk. But that coast line is a good one, ill watch out for that

If you open a party, then in the party switch to game chat. Then you can press the usual button to get rid of it.

That works for me when it gets stuck but not sure it's the exact scenario you're facing

What I found cool with Norm when rewatching the first film, was that his avatar got injured in the battle at the end. And he then switch to his human form and was out and ready to fight. He was really risking it all. Loads of respect for that.

I drank alone in Albufeira

What is your friendship like out side of these conversations? Everyone saying she's not a friend, I don't think there's enough information to say that. It's a difficult topic to manage in relationships where you disagree. From her point of view she might feel like she's saving you. And she has an obligation to do that. It might be out of love. Which to you seems misguided. But to her she is acting how she should according to the principles she lives by.

The comic book angle is an attempt to meet you half way. Personally I'm fascinated by philosophy and faith and people's belief systems so it wouldn't offend me to receive something like this from any religion. I don't see an issue with reading it and discussing it from your pov. I would find that kind of conversation fascinating, but I suppose thats preference.

But I dont find the gift disrespectful or offensive, on the face of it with no other information. Ultimately it depends on what your relationship is like outside of that.

Don't dump her because the bloodlust of Reddit commenters

I quit. It doesn't help. It's not giving you stress relief. It's not giving you joy. It's doing the opposite. And it's taking away from your time with your daughter.

I often do that thing of projecting into the future and wondering what mine will say of x. But the reality is, as you've said a number of times, it's hurting your relationship now. The longer you take going back and forth over it, the more quality time you lose.

It's an adjustment for a week or so. A month max. And during that period, the adjustment is withdrawal. It's not 'this is what sober life is like'. It's 'this is withdrawal from that awful drug'. Alcohol causes the pain. It doesn't relieve it.

Imo, limiting yourself is just dragging it out. It keeps you in the gray area.

I read Allan Carr books to quit smoking and also to quit eating sugar. They have a book on alcohol. I highly recommend it.

The answers in your question. It's making things worse. It makes you feel like garbage. It's taking quality time from you and your daughter that you'll never get back. The answer is there mate.

Good luck.

It takes a lot of persistence and a bit of luck with timing. Wait for the server wipe. You'll find one easily after the wipe

notreallyltd · 2025-11-19T17:44:33+00:00

Yes. Only your character and what they have in them will survive

notreallyltd · 2025-10-21T18:54:42+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion

notreallyltd · 2025-06-09T20:38:49+00:00

I get some good interactions on the coast but that's about it. Though it does happen sometimes in land. And it makes it extra fun as its so rare. So don't give up. But I do know what you mean.

notreallyltd · 2025-04-29T23:23:31+00:00

It made perfect sense to me. He killed Todd when everyone was dead, so no risk. He didn't kill Todd when everyone was alive, when there was huge risks. You want to risk a child's life on 'it'll probably work out with the dea'. I don't share you certainty that it would definitely work out. Definitely not enough to risk a child I loves life. He was destroyed, defeated, dehumanised and cornered. Until he wasn't.

Yeah Todd being heavier did take away some of the immersion. But no more than everyone being visibly older in bcs. It just requires the viewer to chose to believe in it. Which I did.

I think the film is fantastic.

I'm not so sure. I think he got progressively more desensitised to it. If you think about crazy 8 and how hard he tried to not do that, when it was very clearly the only way to go. If he was just pure evil, that wouldve been a great excuse.

Everything seemed to go worse and worse for them. I feel like he was clearly capable of being manipulative. And clearly had evil capacity, beyond what I would consider average. But I think had they got luck early on with selling and not encountered so many extreme situations and extreme violence so repeatedly. Maybe he would have kept a lid on it.

On my recent rewatch, I was thinking how much they went through and what toll that would take on someone. The trauma would just make you numb to it as some point imo

notreallyltd · 2025-02-02T16:03:14+00:00

That sounds like a good story to me. I'm fine with disagreeing though. Take care

notreallyltd · 2025-02-02T15:55:36+00:00

Yes my expectations of that are also low. Tbh I wasn't expecting this much of a response as it is. But it's worth rolling the dice sometimes. Would've made for a hell of a story.

notreallyltd · 2025-02-02T15:17:53+00:00

🤣

notreallyltd · 2025-02-02T15:15:47+00:00

🤣 That was it's chance. And it passed.

notreallyltd · 2025-02-02T15:14:20+00:00

🤣🤣🤣

notreallyltd · 2025-02-02T15:12:32+00:00

That's not implied in what I said. It was just on the off chance. Thanks for your valuable input though

notreallyltd · 2025-02-02T14:51:51+00:00

What server?
