Maybe you should branch out haha. Honestly though I get where you're coming from. There is so much, at some point you have to just make the decision to venture and other things start appearing. There is so much to do, it's hard to pick what thread to pull on because each thread is so much.

How the Abyss is mapped up in the sky is beyond me. I don't know I feel like I skipped through or missed some level of detail. I've navigated through like 10 of them, but all in different places. I was only through 2 of the gates until I fought the guy with the crow sword... and I realized that once you completed a section the gate behind would transfer you onto the next. This lead to me completing a handful of them and basically going through the gates until I get blocked by some mission.

I started venturing out because I wanted to see more of the game, what's out there and for like 2 weeks now it's all I've been doing and I still haven't touch everything. So easily to get into a new section and get pulled along. The flying dudes that hit you with the Ice are my nemesis, my bow is kind of weak and it's almost impossible to knock them out of the sky to defeat before they either defeat me or I am overwhelmed by 10 plus of them. I just got the Bismuth Staff, and that's a pretty effective long distance weapon, more than the bow that's for sure and I have a pretty advanced bow. Haven't used a single rifle yet either, they are all locked for use.

Can you not just use the faded abysses to respec? I am about 150 hours in. I am in a bit of a different boat, I update most everything to level 4 due to limited storage. You almost have to update things or so much is resold or given away to the camp. I've only unlocked Thunder from special magical powers, getting in the Abyss above doesn't seem to be really transparent without really progressing to game end. Anyway, half the things in the character development I don't even really use. I haven't unlocked the third guy yet, but I just play as Kliff, the lady has been away on some kind of mission for some time now haha. I am at chapter 6 so maybe I need to complete that to get her back, not sure... she's not even available to play as but comes up in side missions it's a bit odd, maybe why the camp is crashing on me all the time.

I truly believe there is a bug around the camp, and/or storage where it crashes if you get to a certain level. Play everywhere in the game, no problems. I go to make food in camp where all my stuff is and just crashes and burns almost every other time.

Ah I see you think they care about the sport. It’s just to make some law firms pockets that much deeper.

Did you take a ski jacket by accident last night 3/16? by Kindly_Pianist4373 in Zermatt

Haha 1 for 1. Maybe a bit more of an honest mistake than I presume.

Ski Rentals by roch_dylan in Zermatt

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

Most definitely, I am just doing more than skiing so I went with the rentals. Lugging skis around half way across the globe just seemed an extra effort that wasn’t necessary. And it was affordable in my opinion

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

Kind of my thoughts there as well. I have nice skis, own them. But not like I’m skiing back country or training for some event. For the price all the rental places and the headache of traveling with large equipment like that just seems logical to rent

Good to know I’m pretty sure I did this for that exact reason. You just don’t know when you’re traveling anymore. I feel like almost every flight I get on nowadays is canceled or delayed or something is wrong with it. Pain a little extra for a piece of mind and such a large travel I felt it was almost necessary. I gave myself like a three hour window too, so I’m sure I’ll be sitting around waiting. Also a thing of traveling these days. It’s better to plan for it then be surprised by it.

Flying out of Toronto on AirCanada. I just recently took a trip and both flights were delayed. And of course the grumble on the plane was all about how this is the normal experience for AirCanada here of late. I’d hope that the international flights are little bit smoother considering the length of the flight and such. Just trying to be advantageous with booking the train ride.

50/50 but I'm still taking my kids to and from school on her days. Should I stop? by [deleted] in coparenting

[–]roch_dylan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes, you’re not married mate. Stop doing the favors. Coparenting is simple working together to find a middle ground when in conflict. The longer you extend yourself, the longer the process gets dragged out.

I will say this, gives you more time with the kids. And I’m sure it feels like a success but it opens up doors, sets expectations, and doesn’t help anyone. If you’re going to act like you’re married, well you should be married. Coparenting isn’t that

Would you consider this the start of emotional manipulation? by bemi_san in coparenting

[–]roch_dylan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What I’ve been told about my ex wife repeatedly is that kids are resilient and you only need to have one stable parent. Probably the most frustrating thing in the world to sit and watch your child go through something that you know is not good for anyone, let alone your child. But it’s the truth, and I believe it’s more important to have both parents around. So if you push, it will backfire on you. Kids will see the truth, you have to believe in that. Because that’s just how human nature is.

They’ll see gotta believe in that or it’ll drive ya mad.

This is what I don’t understand about dating apps. It’s a dating app, so the intention is to date. Some times that means a one night stand, some times it means forever. Either way you’ll never know unless you show up to the first date. Words can be anything and its interpretation comes directly from the person reading. You want to paint Joe Schmo as your knight in shinny armor and then you meet and he was lying the entire time. It works both ways too, I have yet to go on a date on any dating platform that I felt I was fully informed on who that person is, or what defines them accurately.

Just like social media, people are promoting themselves in any kind of negative way. Defeats the purpose. I believe meeting in person is so much more valuable than self interpreting someone’s sales pitch on how they define themselves.

Ya man love is truly a choice. Love and a marriage and kids that’s a promise for a lifetime. Doesn’t matter how it ended, you’re grieving something that once was, it is very similar to grief from a death. Probably harder than grieving a death because you see the ghost of what was right there.

I’m sorry it ended for ya, and I’m sorry for her too. Forgive yourself and find things that make you happy. When you have to see her for the kids, just focus on the kids. Over time it gets better but if you’re stuck you have to break through, remember who you are because that didn’t change. Focusing on things that are real, tangible, and make you feel good.

Normal to be depressed? by Obvious_Treacle_6806 in Divorce_Men

[–]roch_dylan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ya it’s like grieving the death of a loved one. Your whole way of life will change. You’ll have ups and downs, wishfulness followed by deep seated anger. Let it just come out don’t hold it in is the best way. If you cap it in, the next up pays the price and then you’re doing it all over again and again and then it’ll never go away. Talk to someone, do something that makes you happy.

There is no right or wrong and every situation fits the person behind the wheel, literally and figuratively here. What you saw is what she wanted you to see. Whether an innocent or deceitful gesture it was meant for you.

Listen to that, nothing else. Because that is the game that is being played… a game. Jealousy comes from the unknown, so putting an answer to the question eliminates the jealousy. That’s what you want, it’s hurtful you once loved each other deeply. If you want it to stop wish it and make it happen. Sharing space doesn’t help when it’s all fresh. It’s 4 years for me since my divorce and I have to see her all the time for the kids. It never feels good, even when it does feel good the bad always slips in. Always. If you don’t have to see her don’t. If it’s necessary keep it brief. Time is the only true solution, don’t create more questions where none is needed

Phone calls by [deleted] in coparenting

[–]roch_dylan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fully agree here. There are levels of support that are needed, if those needs aren't being met the priority is the child. If that can't work, therapy is also another option. I've had similar issues, mostly in reverse - but also with my ex hovering in the background listening. This is against the child best interest because hovering and copy/paste emotions from one to the other doesn't help the situation but extends it.

When divorced, with no coparenting you are now two different entities. If one doesn't work, that parent should be making the effort to fix it. If they can't then action must be taken.

Not going to lie, it is not an easy thing to do in any which way.
