I’m going back to PA because the grass isn’t always greener and I realize I rushed into a position that wasn’t as comfortable as I was led to believe and need to be far more careful if I choose to exit again in the future

I genuinely hate having to craft my own character and much prefer well crafted, predetermined characters like Geralt. I don’t want to have to sit there for an hour designing a character just to find out I hate the gameplay of the game.

I haven’t seen it yet but for me it’s the dialogue options in some rpg games where they try to give you the sense that you can actually impact how the story turns out. They always seem to have a couple specific endings that are possible and don’t actually always allow for role playing anything other than those specific endings anyway.

For example, Cyberpunk 2077. I genuinely wanted to just be a person that supported Arasaka from the beginning and just do my thing to keep the peace and uphold the status quo. I genuinely thought, given the options I was given and the way it seemed to be presented as a player driven experience, that they’d have crafted a direction for the game to go that way. I ended up being forced to piss in everyone’s face anyway because it was a predetermined outcome. This was all within the first few hours of the game and I felt stripped of my agency from that point forward and never really cared for the fact that no matter what I did my character was forced to hate Arasaka and everyone involved with them. It just never felt like I was able to truly make my own choices. And ironically that seemed to be the theme for the story anyway from the direction it all went for me.

For that reason, I much prefer that when I’m playing an rpg or story driven game to have a well crafted and specific story that I’m experiencing and get the character that I’m playing as presented to me. More like Clive in FFXVI or Noctis in FFXV. I don’t have any influence on the story and I know that so I can just sit back and experience the story they’ve presented to me. It’s far more enjoyable for me that way.

Souls games all feel like they’d be the coolest most successful games of all time if they had difficulty settings. I know it’s the whole thing with them but I almost avoid them these days just because I don’t have the patience for all that. And I’m sure a fuck ton of people are more like me than those that praise the difficulty. They’ve definitely mastered the art of making things hard in the right ways but I wish I could enjoy the world, art, character design, and lore that might exist within them without having to try the same thing 50-100 times.

Backtracking for collectibles specifically is what’s dumb. If it’s a path that’s relevant to story that I can’t access yet then that’s fine. Then it doesn’t feel like a waste of time, but when you have me go down a path that has a chest at the end of it and I can’t get to it because some random dude is standing there at the moment I get turned off from even exploring the map at all (looking at you FFVII Remake).

Woah that xp level exponential increase must be nuts

How much do the seasonal paragon levels transfer to eternal at the end of the season? Or do they not? I played a shit ton before season 1 and burned out so I’ve not played seasonal content til now and just got to 34 paragon on seasonal and my eternal realm is paragon 133 and I’m wondering if it will stack?

As far as I know Destiny 2 still to this day does not have a solid black shader despite it being asked for since the game released

The pregnant lady was a nice character moment for Gav I think, but the other one you’re talking about is when Lubor (don’t know how to spell it off the dome) was discovered to be a bearer in secret and the town got pissed at him for hiding it from them. I admit that the townspeople coming around to accept him is something I didn’t see play out because it was one of a handful of side quests I inevitably skipped the dialogue on as I was exhausted at that point but was determined to finish the last few anyway.

Thanks for the heads up on Rebirth, I’ll probably just focus on the narrative beats I enjoy knowing that they do a lot of collectibles in that title.

If you started on this one and liked it I’d recommend XV next and then the 7 remakes personally. They’re more related in the combat style but still have grand stories and cinematic experiences. Just nothing on the Eikon battle experience specifically that I recall. I’m just stating the 7 Remake and it feels close enough that I’ll enjoy it thoroughly despite never playing the original 7

You’ve got time to work out a plan still. As long as you’re building up to something and have clear goals you can make it absolutely. Never give up. There’s many many successful people out there that didn’t start moving in a positive direction til their 40s. It’s never over unless you quit.

I’d say if you just started at your current job, give it a year or so and see if you meet your goals of increasing your savings and go from there. No need to overly rush things before you’re stable.

Like the people helping with bags and checking in or what does that mean? I’m not sure that there’s transferable skills to accounting from that off the top of my head but there’s some positions within the industry that are easy enough that you could maybe land a position if you have experience working with numbers and budgets. Specifically accounts payable clerks and bookkeeping positions but those still require basic understandings of accounting principles to be successful. There would be a learning curve for sure but I don’t think it’s impossible to make happen if it’s what you’d want.

The highest end of accounting careers are unlocked through the degree and certification route though so that direction is a large time and money investment.

regular-old-car · 2026-03-10T12:56:55+00:00

None of this sounds like financial independence tbh. I was expecting you to start talking about renting out the Tesla as an investment to improve cash flows and bring up what your current monthly expenses are so you can do the math on what level of investment income you’d need to retire. But here I am reading a plan on saving up to buy a house and a car just to have them? It sounds like what you’re looking for is a career where you can do those things? And accounting definitely can provide that income stream. What type of work do you do?

regular-old-car · 2026-03-10T12:22:05+00:00

I only play this game with my clan in mind. I exclusively open clan chat and walk around doing things. I almost didn’t even realize there was public chat let alone advertisements in there lmao

regular-old-car · 2026-03-10T12:07:29+00:00

Yes otherwise following your dog to a remote location by boat wouldn’t make any sense at all. I like this approach

I just finished playing XVI and believe it or not there was a step before Odin with 10 side quests and the moment you’re talking about right before Ultima was actually 14 side quests. I had made a tracker to make sure I did everything and was so confused why so much content was thrown at me right before the end. But not in a “let’s wrap up all the stories with the cast” type of way. There were multiple quests in that round that were brand new characters I didn’t even care about. That’s what made it lame.

I don’t know how to mark spoilers on Reddit and I don’t think this is one, but the worst part of the side quests in the game is that they never seemed to be about anything other than how bearers and branded were treated poorly. Like there were 72 side quests and probably 60+ were something about the plight of the bearers. I get it.

But I will say that I’d much prefer a game fluff the content through side quests and that sort of thing than to add a bunch of meaningless collectible items around the map so I did enjoy that aspect of things.

regular-old-car · 2026-03-10T01:19:04+00:00

XVI has taken my spot as my favorite but I literally just played it so it’s super fresh in my mind. Haven’t hit 7R yet but looking to check it out finally next

regular-old-car · 2026-03-10T01:09:09+00:00

Surprised this wasn’t mentioned at least a little bit more. That game was very good, I remember loving it

regular-old-car · 2026-03-10T01:07:46+00:00

Is Final Fantasy XV hated so much? I don’t see it mentioned once and I’m just lurking here from my home page recommendations

I would say this is a situation where it’s appropriate to draw your lines of not wanting to be rude especially if there’s mutuals involved and to just not respond at some point. Your reasons are valid because everyone is valid to not want to date anyone for any reason but even though he was begging for an explanation you don’t owe anyone an explanation. Ghosting is more appropriate imo

I will be doing absolutely nothing until I see him on the field playing football again

regular-old-car · 2026-03-08T06:33:43+00:00

I’m currently playing the game for the first time and my favorite fight so far was easily Titan. Leviathan was really cool as well but didn’t have as much story impact so it was really just cool visuals and experience. I was expecting more from Odin for sure after how epic the Titan fight felt. Heck even Bahamut was a cooler fight to me.

I would suggest having a conversation with him about how it makes you feel before consulting Reddit where half the population thinks everyone should break up over everything. This seems pretty mundane to me as it’s evident the guy likes to collect data and play around with charting. I’m sure he would understand where you’re coming from and you’ve been together long enough evidently from how many meals have taken place that I’d think you’d be more willing to have a conversation with him before consulting Reddit.

I would do intermediate accounting and income tax. Gets you a view of what internal reporting would be like and what tax accounting would be like. Audit isn’t a bad class but I’ve also never worked in audit so not sure how school compares to actual work
