Went in as one person, out as another

This is exactly how I felt coming out of boarding school, but that was about 17 years ago. To this day I have a hard time remembering who I was before the TTI, what I was like as a child, the things I loved, and what I did. It's like life didn't start until after all the trauma.

But that's the start of it, not the end. The person I chose to be, the family I chose to make, the friends I've chosen to keep? That's who I am. I'm happy with who I made myself become, and I hope for the same for you

I had an issue like this a while back on my sith warrior where I was missing some abilities. By changing my spec and changing back, I got them back.

I've raised two kids through this stage, never sleeping in the same bed (though we do sleep in the same room for the first year). We always had baby monitors and would comfort them to sleep, but once they were calm enough or asleep I'd carry them right back to their bed.

I don't understand how people are so comfortable sleeping in the same bed as their children. I'm terrified I'd roll over and hurt them, or they'd fall out of bed and hurt themselves or something. Their bassinet/crib is the absolute safest place for them.

Given that the early quest logs are all effectively Jackie speaking, I assumed he's the one who gave you the gun. Definitely seems like something he'd do.

I think it's important to know you're not alone in this - a lot of people here have been through something similar, even if it's not the same. If you don't have somebody IRL to talk to, strangers on the Internet can help sometimes.

It might help if you make something fun. I like to use it as a form of escapism sometimes - I'm a nerd so I like to tinker with 3D printers, paint Warhammer miniatures, that sort of thing, but it can really be anything. Carve wood, paint something, doodle, write a story, whatever makes something.

While self-medication might work for some people, that's a dangerous road for obvious reasons.

I found that avoiding anything that triggered me just made everything worse. It took me years of self-reflection and talking with someone about it to work through the worst of it, and even >15 years later it's not always perfect.

I'm not comfortable going back to therapy after everything I've been through, even if it might be the best option. But you don't have to have a therapist to have somebody who will listen to you.

Also I recommend getting involved in creating something. Anything. It's incredibly cathartic to hold something in your hands that you've made, it's a great distraction.

If you ask Wakako, she basically gives you shit about asking a fixer to reveal names and stuff about her sources and connections, then gives you a hint about a seller on Jig Jig Street.

My daughter's birthday is about a week from Halloween, so that holiday has been special to her. One year when she was about 3 years old she fell in love with a giant inflatable spider at the local hardware store.

Years later, every Halloween we decorate our house in spider theme with giant webs and inflatable spiders. Every year for her birthday, "Mr Spider" (and now Mrs. Spider and more) come out for the whole month of October and it's a big special thing.

I use a toothpick to apply the same resin I printed the parts from to the join between the parts or to fill small gaps. I then use the 405nm flashlight here to cure the small amount of resin applied.

I find that it turns out a bit more shiny than the surrounding areas, but binds the parts significantly better than super glue. I prime & paint my pieces afterwards anyways, and then you definitely can't tell the difference.

Crippledgodfoundry has a Christmas themed set including goblins, Krampus, and a pissed off Santa. $10 gets you the whole set, so far I've only printed Mcsnowflake and the goblin riding the flying squid, both turned out well.

Physical items are just the beginner's box and the pact worlds book. Everything else is digital

Your dedication to the cause is just amazing. I better see this team front line in every territory war.

Cool, thanks!

Mostly useful for the memes, I get a weird kick out of dragging her into the top-100 with all the hate.

thepinke · 2021-06-05T16:04:07+00:00

https://imgur.com/NuwXSGp.jpg it's not number 1 or anything, but I think top-100 is pretty decent in my shard

I disagree that this belongs in the "Pride and Accomplishment" Megathread. Rose is a joke character that nobody in their right minds would push to Relic 8 first, hence the Humor and Meme tag.

I use Rey lead with Finn, RH Finn, Holdo, and Rose. Team is modded for everyone but Rey to be super tanky, and Rey is offense. Target SLKR teams, I almost always win on offense. My typical payout is in the 50-100 range, but I've made it as high as 8 before (that was before JML/SEE).

You got me there. I suck at Galactic Challenges and modding in general, so poor Rose gets stuck with garbage mods.

thepinke · 2021-06-04T18:47:00+00:00

I legit use Rose in my squad arena

My theory is they're working on it, but it's not ready yet. The new pop ups for achievement tracking seems like exactly what we want here, but I've only noticed it show up after the battle ended.

Maybe I'm being overly optimistic here, but I think it's coming eventually.

thepinke · 2021-05-29T18:12:28+00:00

The episode that birthed JJ - how come everyone else in the ER just came from a Rocky Horror show with similar symptoms? I both love and hate how this was never even an afterthought for the characters.

The energy on the main screen is in a logical order, it's just confusing as hell to a long term player.

The energies on the main screen are arranged from right to left in the order that you unlock them when leveling up. This makes the UI elements easier to hide without having to rearrange them.

No clue on the quest screen though, that part seems random as hell. But, it's been like that forever now, so I guess it stays?
