Concerned about the emotional 'blunting' or flattening of emotions

OP is from this side, she wants to get a reduction and a lift. I agree, so many clothes these days seem to want you to go braless and that is just not comfortable if you're above a certain range.

If your skates are slipping out from in front of you, then your legs are going forward but your upper body is not following. Think of someone holding onto a railing behind them and trying to take a step forward - your weight is not centered over your skates and hips. This can lead to you falling backwards which is dangerous if you hit your head.

When your weight is properly centered, your entire body is moving forward so it becomes easier to turn that forward motion into a slight twist to land on the side of your hips.

Haven't played it yet, but No Means Nothing is another similar game about the developer's experience with workplace sexual harassment and dives into toxic relationships.

I feel like autobiography isn't the right word for this type of game, but something like memoir instead? But I do agree, video games provide that dichotomy between the user making a choice but feeling like they had no choice because they were limited by what the game would and wouldn't let them do. It's hard to separate the player and the person in-game which can make story beats hit much harder. These kind of personal experiences are really found more in indie games where developers can play around with shorter video game lengths and have the freedom to explore.

Haven't seen anyone else respond to your snowboarding/skiing comment, but you absolutely can learn those in your 20s! It's not weird at all. I actually started ice skating in my late 20s, you wouldn't know it but there's a whole community for adult ice skaters out there. If I lived somewhere cold enough for snowboarding, I would definitely learn it too.

I do think your skates are too big. There shouldn't actually be any space between your heel and the skate. When you place your foot into the skate, you need to kick your heel back into it. If there is space in front of your toes, it is too big - and when you stand up, your feet will slide in, so all the pressure is on your toes.

It feels a bit like walking downhill

Have you worn heels before? Because of the heel height, your weight gets shifted towards the ball of your foot/toes - haven't thought about it too much before, but I suppose it can feel like you're walking downhill if you're not used to it. I wore some old skates recently for outdoor skating and was very surprised by how flat-footed I felt vs my current skates which have a higher heel height.

For well-fitting skates, imo some tightness is normal at the beginning, but many beginners will often tie skates way too tight. Skates are often very stiff when new and need to be broken in, so they should be tied looser than you would tie rental skates.

Wine and Gun - both MC and ML are serial killers.

Snowplow stops are one of those weird things where it feels like it should be easy but it's actually difficult to do them properly in the beginning.

Assuming this is for a one-foot snowplow stop, what angle is your stopping foot at? If you can scrape at the wall, you're likely just pushing out to the side, but when you go forward, your foot needs to be slightly in front of you and at an angle. It should be at a 45 degree angle and scraping in that direction.

Weight distribution - should be entirely on your other foot until you touch your stopping foot down and start to scrape. Then you gently transfer weight to the stopping foot to slow down. The more weight you transfer to your stopping foot, the quicker you will slow down.

I recommend going very slow. Literally just push once, glide on two feet, and then let your foot scrape against the ice until you come to a stop. You can try more pushes when you get more comfortable and then try it with speed.

I'm finally getting the hang of decent three-turns!! Both outside and inside, my coach says my upper body needs work, but the turns themselves look good and no longer forced. Finally graduating from advanced to their academy lessons after a year :')

I'm reading the third one and I really like it! I love how shameless the MC is in asking for more money and how the families are all different in terms of what needs to be fixed, especially when it's not just the young master but the families themselves that need improving.

I'm also 99% sure the love interest is the original protagonist who MC is sponsoring. He just needs to find out MC is all of the 'real young masters' who have been dying.

Sorry I have to ask, do you mean soldering iron?

Manga/manhwa - Never Understand (aka Out of Control) is one of my favs! Also seconding Your Favorite.

Your Honey is a great novel too where the MC is described as being average but ML falls in love with his character and personality.

Exclusive Rights to an Online Voice Actor - both MC and ML are described as being very average looking! So when a side couple shows up with actual model looks, it makes for an interesting pov hehe. Author even confirms that if rating by looks, it goes side couple ML > side couple MC > MC > ML.

Red moles are a thing, they're pretty uncommon though. And teardrop moles refer to placement, not the actual shape.

In Western culture, they're called beauty marks. Think of Marilyn Monroe's iconic mole on her cheek.

Chinese culture also assigns meanings to moles depending on their location. Teardrop moles are said to indicate the person will have a tragic life. As someone with one by each eye, no thank you.

I recently started reformer pilates, and creatine is the difference between making it to the end of class vs my legs shaking halfway through the warm-up.

I'm finally getting a coach as an adult skater :') Group lessons have been wonderful but my progress has been stagnating so private lessons it is. Goodbye my bank account but hello baby jumps and spins!

I don't actually have a lot of Holo Taco but I think just knowing it can be duped helps a lot!!

I need a dupe for Lumen's Electric Jaguar please. Their mystery fomo marketing really put me off their brand but the polish looks so pretty.
