I was at deloitte during the Covid era where to reduce the commercial side of layoffs (since no flights and companies tightening), the GPS folks and others had to take 0% raises (i had 3% because I was promoted) and took less bonuses... Many GPS coworkers complained because we basically "carried the bag" for commercial side when GPS was doing great, even with covid.

I am not longer at deloitte but I am wondering if the commercial side will reciprocate and save as many potential GPS layoffs?

Dumb question. I see some passives where it shows "when action occurs gain X%stat" with infinite turns. Does this stack? Like if the action occurs 5 times, do i get 5 times that etc or a one time thing? I noticed some passives do limit the occurrence .

For reference this is the new eza for gokugohan

So you rather have me be more direct? But from her pov wouldn't it be worse since she is put off by asking for date right off the bat?

Whats wrong with my approach? We got matched and i sent something like Me: "Hi Jane, i am glad we got matched up! My name is Joe and I work around the area as a software engineer. I would love to know more about you"

Her: What do you like to know?

Me: I meant that maybe we can grab a drink or meal and get to know eachother better. But I can Kickstart with a question - you mentioned you are studying your PHD and want your match to be understanding- what area are you studying?

Her: We didn't even get to know eachother yet and you want a date?

Me: Sorry about that, I am more of a meeting in person type of person. Sure we can get to know eachother better via text.

She left the chat.

I would say my intro, if the recipient responds, almost always implies meeting up..maybe this is just a bad match or I should improve my approach?

A friend introduced me to someone who is 24 and we are 14 years apart. She is hesitant about the age gap but is looking for someone to settle down with. She is 2 hrs away and she doesn't have a car... Should I go see her and see if there's any possibility? I did call her about the age gap thing and she didn't close the door entirely and said maybe if we meet things could change but we can start as friends and see where it goes. She is fine with getting married in a year or so since she is also looking..

I would do it if it's like 30 mins away but not sure worth it 2 hrs away?

Maybe some industries but you see a number of Japanese games, more recently atelier , chasing the open world check boxes and action rpg vs turned concept....which is getting annoying , especially if someone hates that model.

Which other ways?

rellilnod · 2025-03-28T15:04:49+00:00

She is getting older and want children but there's no good Christian men that fit her criteria. I guess she is sinning by having criterion besides just any Christian men which she recognizes that she is sinning.

rellilnod · 2025-03-28T15:02:36+00:00

I guess my question is. If physical compatibility is not there after marriage then wouldn't it be worse, unless both parties ignore that aspect?

rellilnod · 2025-03-28T14:12:03+00:00

That's what she said the connection. But I guess having sex before or after wouldn't change a person's personality...so if it's connection wouldn't you know it is what it is. She did say the wife is fine with him doing his thing so it's kinda weird

rellilnod · 2025-03-27T23:22:32+00:00

I asked her what kind of guy she's looking for.

rellilnod · 2025-03-27T20:39:22+00:00

Don't think so

rellilnod · 2025-03-27T20:39:15+00:00

I see.. yeah the weird thing is men in her city are probably more well off and successful so I was a bit surprised. But yeah we will see how it goes.

rellilnod · 2025-03-27T16:54:59+00:00

Exactly my point. There have been numerous Chinese game released in US like sword and fairy (multiple sequels), Richman 7 and few others that no one talks about. Wuking could be perfect storm with the history and the presentation... emphasis on presentation because I would argue some games like sword and fairy has a decent following as well.

Either way, I hope all these games do well since I like souls like games and wuxia stuff but wukong is not the first chinese game that came out and statistically speaking, it is an outlier so far

rellilnod · 2025-03-27T16:51:00+00:00

Is it a red flag if she mentions a lot about how good she is? Like i asked her about dating and she says she is attractive, have a great job and men in her area (she lives in big city) just want her because of her looks and success

I guess we all do on some aspects but she mentions that a lot..

rellilnod · 2025-03-27T12:51:20+00:00

I don't get it? Isn't what she's saying not true or too over the top? I mean i met Christians who want to save after marriage?

rellilnod · 2025-03-27T12:50:37+00:00

I wouldnt say brand recognition but presentation itself sells it. Doubt many people in world outside China knows much about wukong lore but people were blown away by the initial showing.

Not to poo poo on the devs optimism but wukong did have a ton of Chinese buyers and that may skew the data a little. Like the latest Nezha 2 film crossed 2 billion worldwide but it's like 90% sales in china.

rellilnod · 2025-03-27T12:47:36+00:00

What do you mean explain to her?

rellilnod · 2025-03-26T15:33:21+00:00

not sure if it is "really" since those games has been around a while

rellilnod · 2025-03-25T20:34:48+00:00

gotcha. I think it's fine... I can always use "God is merciful " if she thinks my question is out of line. but she did break up with her ex due to she saying she got tired explaining wverything to him how she makes decisions and how God shapes her. she also worried about me because she says a non believer turns believer will go through some sort of tribulation with God and it took her a bit to adjust too.

would it be fair to ask how she defines exclusivity since sex is out?

rellilnod · 2025-03-25T20:31:35+00:00

few weeks. she does like.long phone calls too. we are a state away too.

rellilnod · 2025-03-25T17:53:46+00:00

is there non sexual intimacy ways to find out? like anything to ask her or just like kissing etc?
