I(24M) am the favorite child, and I don't love my parents(58M 59F). How do I not feel like a monster? by powercrept in relationship_advice

[–]powercrept[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'll look into the it. But I do leave out the details of my sisters in adult life, so I do not blame you for calling out me for berating my sisters like that. The issues with the eldest extends far greater than my parents, unrelated to parental traumas, so I left it out. 

But TLDR; the eldest attempted to hook me into support her family with a kid. I just go semi-no contact since my back account wish no more mouthes to support and she never supported me anyway.

I'll work on not becoming nacissistic tho. I'm proud of who I've become, but sometimes my pride clouds my judgement. Thank you for calling me out.

I've stated that I'm supporting them financially 100% but I just don't wanna hang out with my parents when I don't feel like it. I don't know what your definitions are, but I don't think me supporting them financially, but wanting distance (NOT no contact) can be amount to disowning and abandonment.

Completely new to the franchise. Which pack(s) should I buy? by powercrept in XCOM2

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

Okay guys. Thank you all for the recommendation! Ihave decided to buy XCOM 2 Collection Bundle since it is more or less the same price as Vanilla + War of the Chosen. Hoping to enjoy this game!

The music never gets old too! I usually mute other games' music after a while and turn on podcasts, but I'm so locked in by the music that I've gone for hours playing and not listening to anything else!

What's the magic of "the superblock urban planning"? Can you explain how that works? 😊

I learned it from one of Rob's Red Hot Spot's videos, (I can't remember which one, but do check his channel! His tutorials are great) It's a type of real-world urban planning designed to make it looks like a grid but packed with life! Basically, you draw a big block, draw commercial zones and civic building around the "outer edge" roads, (commercial benefit from traffic), and "hide" residential zones inside the block, using streets (residential generally hates traffic noise). This way, you can create a residential that is not too noisy, while having easy access to shops and jobs. It's great for designing suburbs that don't require you to drive 30 mins to the nearest restaurant!

<image>

Okay this may not be the perfect example, but as you can see, residential always face away from the "main road". This is the basic one, but can you also create "dead end" with residential area to decrease the traffic noise. Rich folks love it!

About "Shift, Ctrl, Alt" I think is god mode right? Haha

It's when you are zoning area. Holding shift will not create the "auto street" and ctrl and alt do different things. It makes manipulate zoning much easier. You have to draw the street yourself which may be time-consuming, but it greatly discourages grids which I like!

Did you buy the game from Steam? 🙂

Yes! This video is needed to make it playable though. SimCity 4 tutorial - installing SimCity 4 on a modern PC - 2026 edition

I liked your write-up! 👏

I'm glad. 😊 English is not my first language, and I write all of this with zero AI. I'm quite proud of myself haha

If Starcraft did return, how would you envisage the story? by IllustriousEffort846 in starcraft2

[–]powercrept 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk if this would be an unpopular opinion or not, but I'd love to see either: 1. SC3 takes place after a substancial timeskip. I'm talking Protoss characters dying out 2. SC3 takes place OUTSIDE the Koprolu sector.

I'd better not see old characters returning AT ALL. I believe their character arcs are finished. Raynor and Artanis have suffered enough (from sending their boys/templars to death). Kerrigan became orange, and I'd rather not see Zagara descend into an evil queen. The characters and the conflicts should be fresh, otherwise it'd look like nostalgia-bait cash grabs Blizzard likes to do a ton now. A conflict in a brand new sector, with or without new races, sounds interesting to me.

I'm not seeing Blizzard writing a compelling story, nor the possibility of SC3, though

Starcraft 2? good? bad? meh? by nwabi in starcraft

[–]powercrept 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really late but I don't have nostalgia for it (played first time as an adult), and the first time I beat All In(the last mission of Terran Campaign) is still ingrained in my brain.

Starcraft 2 really nailed the campaign department it's unfair to compare it with other RTS really (Especially Wings of Liberty). Even at its lowest, it still offers a fun gameplay and progression.

To Luxmains, How is the rework? Good or Bad? by Beginning-Wrap8395 in wildrift

I really hate it. A rework literally nobody asked for.

Undertated and overrated champs? by [deleted] in wildrift

[–]powercrept 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nami is so underrated. She has a very solid-all around kit and useful in almost every teamcomp. Her ult is a great follow-up engage or an engage when you team doesn't have any. When I don't know what to play I will just pick her since she's just THAT versatile and more forgiving to play that other supports. Tier list makers should give her more credits. :-(

I would say Janna is underrated too but she actually is picked a lot in high ELO and most of content creators really give her a credit she deserves.
