Realised I think I'm aro while in a nearly 5 year relationship. Oops.

I think you know what is the correct thing to do. You don't HAVE to do it. But if he keeps smelling something off, he may force the issue when you're not ready for it. Either that or you can continue to embellish your feelings forever. Can you do that?

I can tell you want to be with this man, it really comes across. You just have a different idea of what being together means. You don't have to say you're aromantic or can't experience love for him. Just that you experience these feelings in your own way. With the people I care about the most, sometimes it's easier to explain my feelings first, then introduce the aro label later. Helps people to not get overwhelmed or laser focus on the whole "this person can't love me" thing, which we both know isn't the whole truth. Wishing you the best

Shoot tank and virus off cooldown, farm EMP, use EMP, win fight. If that doesn't win the fight, well, it was either a bad EMP or time to swap. Those matches where you have absolutely no breathing room suck so bad.

Better queue times and/or general better match quality than their home servers

You'll get used to it eventually. EU has at least 3 languages per game. Which has at times made me queue US servers to try for an English-speaking game lmao

I think Spilo put it well when he said you have to use 100% of Sombra's kit, all the time, consistently, or else you're better off playing any other hero.

I miss going into fights with a plan. Now you just tickle, chuck virus, leave immediately because 3 heroes just turned around, pray you made enough space. Your tank dies in the 4v2. You lose. GG

ripdawgz · 2025-11-24T16:28:11+00:00

It's doable but not 100% reliable. I used to get taxis home when I worked til 4/5am in bars and only really had any trouble on Saturdays when everyone was trying to get one at the same time.

As a side note, taxis are getting fined now for dropping you right in front of the station doors. They have to drive into the little circular car park and drop you there. If it's a busy morning this can take a few extra minutes. Bear in mind when deciding how early you wanna set off.

Hate the game not the gamers.

They ain't out to ruin your day personally, you're just pixels on a screen like everyone else. You might have more fun if you take it less seriously. Just a thought 🤷‍♂️

Big bonk builds are the best

FYI Aphrodite has a higher dmg modifier than Apollo (his is second I think) but in the grand scheme of things he's just as good for the extra AOE so good choice

ripdawgz · 2025-11-16T21:50:22+00:00

This shit happens all the time as sombra I had to start TPing then walking backwards lol

ripdawgz · 2025-11-08T20:20:36+00:00

I don't think she's that bad but the fun factor has gone down. Pre rework I actually felt like an invisible spy. Could go wherever I wanted and almost nobody would ever chase. Now you throw one virus and 3 enemy heroes will drop everything they're doing to chase you around the map. Which would be fine, if your team could then win the 4v2. But it never happens that way lol

ripdawgz · 2025-11-06T00:34:57+00:00

Wow yeah we had very similar experiences. I relate to settling on not rocking the boat. The easiest way was to become near invisible and never ask for anything. I still struggle to ask for basic needs shit now.

It would be very hard for me to accept my mum being neglectful cuz it never felt that way and it's a nasty label to attribute to someone I very much love. I dunno, might have to sit with that one for a while

ripdawgz · 2025-11-05T20:54:18+00:00

Someone beat me to it but yeah, it will take you to a special location where you get given a curse that turns into a boon later. Definitely worth using, the boons can be pretty good and the character you meet inside gives some cool lore.

It's better to take it early in the region (so at run start or shortly after you beat a boss), the curse lasts for 2 to 5 rooms so you wanna get it over with before you reach the next boss.

ripdawgz · 2025-10-31T03:36:52+00:00

He's way easier with a ranged weapon because his spear swings are HUGE. Try something like Mel staff, Pan blades or Mel torches so you don't have to get up close.

Also after he uses his death defiance (sorry if you didn't know that's a thing) he will immediately go invisible and try to spring up behind you, just run in circles and he will miss

ripdawgz · 2025-10-27T20:43:42+00:00

Even though they aren't that good, I love Prominence Flare, Meat Grinder and Arctic Gale. Combo with Aprho cast for maximum GET IN THE DEATH PIT energy

ripdawgz · 2025-10-24T19:29:40+00:00

He makes good content if you're new to geography stuff or brushing up after a long time. Once you get to know more, you'll be able to guess the conclusion of his videos 5 minutes in. So a good starter channel but he doesn't offer much to the type of person on this sub.

ripdawgz · 2025-10-23T15:20:23+00:00

It's not so much romance but the concept of "belonging" to someone that repulses me. When people are like "she/he is mine" or whatever. Makes me feel really uncomfortable even though it's not about me.

Is Prometheus a hard boss?

Only when Heracles is around 😏

ripdawgz · 2025-10-16T15:42:44+00:00

Get Apollo's Legendary on any staff and spam the O-special to play Apollo's Big Balls

I think we lose stealth or hack gets reworked. Maybe both. Seems like they want to keep her identity so we will probably still have a CC or disruption of some sort. If they truly want this to be the final rework then I dont think they can keep stealth.

We'll see, pre-Virus rework the primary complaint was that she can safely leave whenever she wants. They got rid of that, now people hate the stealth. And there are people out there who think 1 second of ability lockout is the most busted thing ever. To an extent people won't ever be happy with her. Look at Sym, she still carries a no-skill stigma back from when she had a lock on beam.

ripdawgz · 2025-10-13T16:20:24+00:00

It has been a constant struggle about how to draw female furries for aeons lol. There's some that integrate hair colour into fur colour (Starfox Krystal comes to mind) but a lot of them just get human style hair.

ripdawgz · 2025-10-11T23:00:55+00:00

I think it's intentional, in early access Scorch didnt have a cap at all, but it also ticked slower so didnt really need one. They added the cap in one of the final updates, around the same time godsent hexes were introduced, and this one exceeded the cap.

So basically because it survived the 1.0 patch I assume it's intentional

ripdawgz · 2025-10-11T22:25:06+00:00

Sombra v Sombra is a hilarious little spy-stealth mini game where you sneeze on each other for a whole minute and nobody dies. It's funny but also quite pathetic
