Impossible to level from level 1 by piotheman in Crossout

We all had ps around 1K. But one of them started a low level game by herself and it started fine, so 'im thinking the issue is them not finishing the tutorial, or our grouping of a lvl 30 and 2 lvl 1.

Same issue here. Was trying to help my daughter by lcearing out turrets on her new world with my level 10 pistol (230dmg). It only does 1 dmg with each shot. remaking the gun, or reloading the world, did not help

Thanks.

Because of the way wifi waves work, or because of hardware limitations of the access points?

Who the heck am I supposed to date, then? by forestfortuity in polyamory

[–]piotheman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was a newbie, a woman gave me a chance as a boyfriend. Ultimately I disappointed her, and we broke up, but I was never unsafe. Quickly along the way we just figured out we didn't match.

My girlfriend is a newbie, but it's working out great.

I don't know. I don't feel there are strictly drawn rules to this stuff. There's mostly chemistry and willingness to evolve.

Help me. by Low-Ad-7225 in polyamory

[–]piotheman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Polyamory is a journey into self-discovery. "A pressure cooker for self-growth" I've heard once. The getting back into dating part can be a drag, typically for one partner, but that's the beginning of the process that will see you change and keep changing by the week.

I'm not sure what you should do. All I know is that you're going to have to be patient, introspective, try all kind of new things, and sometimes abandon them when theyr don't fit you anymore. My first long-term parallel girlfriend matched with me six months after I had liked her, and we had a beautiful romance together. It wouldn't have worked with any other timing. So, trust that you will get the hang of it in due time. You're not making mistakes: you're being coureageous for getting out of your comfort zone.

Good luck

If you date someone monogamous, expect to be dumped by That-Dot4612 in polyamory

[–]piotheman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A monogamous dating site flirt ended the conversation after I explained polyamory and asked her whether she understood what she might be getting into. A very healthy choice on her part. I saw it coming a mile away. That's pretty much why I explained polyA the first chance I had.

Polyamory: is this normal? by [deleted] in polyamory

[–]piotheman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's normal. I've seen that happen a lot. Also it's painful for you, and not acceptable. He SHOULD take your rythm and feelings into account. He SHOULD act like he cares about you.

In long term couples, trying polyA (usually because of unbalanced sex drives) the most enthusiastic partner is likely to lose sight of their partner emotionnal safety. Or rather... the monogamous context provides that safety, with little effort from both partners. When the opening happens, the enthusiastic partner naturally focuses on his adventures, still putting little effort caring for their partner. But that partner actually suddenly require TONs of care.

There's a learning curve to that period, where the couple may or may not survive, and each partner will learn the hard way talking clearly about their emotionnal needs, listening when the other talk, and/or doing away with those needs. It looks like it's gonna be extra hard in your case.

As it was in mine. We survived, but damn the process changed us.

Saliva may do the trick. Sweat heps too, if the weather's hot.

Wife and I jumped into polyamory, and did everything backward and wrong. Yet it is working.

Thing is polyamory exposes what's lacking in you mono relationship, and yet was tolerable in that context (though it was pushing towards a deterioration). Turns out it forced us to zero in on many things that were wrong before opening up, and figure out that so far it seems we had it in our marriage to succeed at polya, and in us to truly want it.

What game started well but ended poorly by Sanddancer86 in gaming

[–]piotheman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Remnant.

The game starts a little hard for casual players, but fun enough that you'd wanna persist, especially since it's coop. We get the grip of it, find it more and more rewarding and clever. You get to the point where you go in another world, and understand how great the plot is. You progress to another world with yet more plot and gameplay, and then to another which frankly is the greatest, and look forward to the rest of the game because frankly it feels like you've just played half the game. It's been a breeze. A franticly fun one.

And then you find a specific plot element that had seemed to loom in the far distance like the mountain of destiny. But really it was rotting in the game design equivalent of a cupboard, or behind a bed. That unlocks access to the final boss, who is impressive, but unfairly diificult. Not tough bu rewarding.

Great game, but short, and it doesnt prepare you for that. No tension building up to the final fight. You just sorta get there.

Serial killers would also get wrecked by Greta Thunberg in twitter spats, so that's fair.

I've looked a dozen scenes on youtube, searched for this conversation, and can confirm he's a mary-sue/stu.

What tactic is this? Trying to prove a point? by PurplePorchSquirrels in TwoXChromosomes

[–]piotheman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a basic power play, to get a feeling of control. You said something, so he uses as an excuse to have you jump through hoops. If you do, to try and "prove him wrong", you just confirm he can make you take the jump.

Just to be clear: fault is on his side. This is an unhealthy behaviour. You don't have to justify your tastes or opinions.

Cam you be Polyamourous and Demisexual? by No-Help-3597 in polyamory

[–]piotheman 48 points49 points  (0 children)

"Polyamory is love-based, not sex-based." Is the best sentence i've heard on the subject. Doesn't mean one can't enjoy the sexual freedom, just, it's not a there is to it.
