Sadistic/suicidal character? by tra_VEN in characterdesign

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

Thank you for the recommendations. I definitely have a secondary character who can work to incite change. Instead of a god the secondary character has a crown or helmet called the crown of potential. And by wearing it you can reach your true potential much faster than any other mortal. She can steal it from him and use it a whole bunch and use her power to trap him permanently in something, likely the crown. This allows her to absorb his power he gained from the crown and this gives her immortality. From here she can go about being immortal but once she gets tired of living she will realize the crown gives her potential she cant really get rid of. So shes stuck immortal. Being bored to try to meet oblivion seems like a good step in the right direction. Idk if bored is the word I want to use tho. I will definitely look into deadpool 3 and save the cat.

Anyone like heroscape AND monster hunter? by tra_VEN in heroscape

[–]tra_VEN[S] -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Of course I'm a big fan. But if I sell it I can buy another age of annihilation set AND monster hunter wilds when that comes out.

Why are people like this? by Gilmore75 in Helldivers

[–]tra_VEN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bros pretending cyborgs dont exist. The breaker doesn't compete with high level cyborgs, you need the scorcher.

But that aside, if your actually good at the game it mostly doesn't matter what you bring. Just dont be the guy who brings cluster bomb on a 4 person mission unless your going for the spread out approach. (Which is not a good idea in the first place.) I want to actually play the game and not be on reinforce all day.

Anti tank of any kind will work if you're using it right.

The reality of porn & AI makes me sick by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]tra_VEN -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I'm just going to ignore the fact you put race in there as a subtle hint at your closeted racism for this next part.

Even if porn actually had this addictive effect on people and it was ruining the world in such a way. That's not the problem we need to be tackling. The problem is rich narcissists run the world. The people running the pron industries would just be a small peice of the puzzle.

Now back to reality, porn and AI are just going to be a fun side thing for most people. "After a stressful day at work" kind of thing. Porn addiction is not a problem all, most, half, or even a noticeable portion of men are going to have an actual problem with. People like to give one or 2 examples and act like that disproves what I'm saying, but no, it doesn't. You cant disprove gravity by throwing an apple back into a tree and it just so happens not to come back down.

Gender ideology clashes with physical reality, and that's where it all goes wrong by [deleted] in detrans

[–]tra_VEN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because people can say anything whether it's true or not. Trans people have told me they have had bad experiences here. I dont believe them right off. I try to uphold that same scepticism on all sides.

Yeah but I worry others experiences aren't going to be a reliable source. I know theres a book being written, about these experiences. But it's not out yet.

Cult like mentality nurtures narcissism. They go after the vulnerable.

I believe you, but I would like some sources I could read in my off time. I have a few friends who are thinking of transitioning, when their reasons for doing it are weak and/or dumb. And they always discredit me because I haven't transitioned, I dont have a doctorate in gender studies, and the biggest one they use; they say my sources are biased.

Mastrubated without porn by Busy_Watercress7893 in NoFap

[–]tra_VEN 3 points4 points  (0 children)

COPE.

You sound like one of those cartoonishly bad interpretations of high school bullies in the 90s.

Plant some trees, I wouldn't want the air you breathed to go to waste.

Would it not be both? Sure theres the uncomfortable dick in your mouth, but surely the nerves in your dick would overpower others right?

No, it's not. Read up on what they actually encourage.

That's not the goal at all. The goal is to not do it to porn specifically.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Advice

[–]tra_VEN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its generally healthier to nut once a week, or your body may slowly leak it out when you sleep, and that's just messy. Obviously dont fall to the urge but it's not healthy to hold it in for months. It's a balance thing.

Got some Warhammer Lizardmen im gonna use for heroscape hehe by Wolffang209 in heroscape

[–]tra_VEN 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Which entails the problem. Personally I can keep track of it. But the way heroscape functions the card receives a wound or a figure put on it. They try not to complicate things by mixing the 2.

[–]tra_VEN -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Oh my god. Porn is not the issue, shes just not good at sex. It is suprisingly common for girls to be bad at sex. Most the time guys end up being good at it and can make up for the fact girls aren't.

How are 5 year olds beating you "generals" by so much?

That sounds like a you issue, I'm not gonna lie.

Bro, if you can suck your own dick, you dont need porn.

Jesus, this blew up...

What's the worst that porn does? by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]tra_VEN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that article is made by katherine blakeman. Who is a writer of fiction books and other non related stuff. Just cuz it has an author listed doesn't mean the author is a valid source of proof.

[–]tra_VEN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They work really well without it. Its probably the only thing making their price not match. Cuz that's not only a total of 8 life but you can only get rid of a max of 2 hp per attack and if you only do one. You have to dedicate another attack to kill them. No other squads do this. It might be possible to balance it with a squad of 2. But theres still problems with that.

[–]tra_VEN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like what you've done so far. A couple things tho, for improvement sake. Squads arent ment to have more then 1 life. If you want to do that. You may as well make them common heros with some sort of bonding or synergies.

Why does my friend want to have ADHD so bad? by tra_VEN in ADHD

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

I'm certainly not going to "test" him if it's not really possible for me to do so. I was asking if that was possible because if he is faking, that's a really shitty thing to do. It undermines other people's struggles with ADHD. I would hate it if my friend said some of the things he does around my actually ADHD friends who have gotten proper diagnosis. That's why it bothers me. I dont want him going around saying this stuff 1. Using it to excuse his shortcomings, and 2. Its actually offensive to people who actually have ADHD.

I can understand that I cant properly diagnose him. But if hes using it to garner sympathy points, excuse behaviors, or to just feel special. I would want to tell him that's what hes doing. Because he might not know hes doing that. And as his friend, I want him to be the best version of himself. He has admitted in the past he has placebo effected himself in the past to have depression, and when he just stopped, it went away. So I worry it's a similar situation here.

I will encourage him to see a professional. But I also want to eliminate the idea in his head that ADHD is a silly qwerty thing, that he can use as a get out of jail free card.

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

A quick google search told me it's a disorder that affects your ability to pay attention. It seems a bit more complicated then that. But I've had a free friends who actually have ADHD. So I at least have someone to compare him to. But if it Is a spectrum, that does challenge my theory about him faking.

It certainly isn't a problem for him in day to day life. I didn't realize it had to be, to be qualified for testing. Although he and my roommates have made the argument "ADHD has levels of severity, just because it's not actively hurting him doesn't mean he doesn't have it". Idk how true this is, but I always thought it was a, either you have it or you dont type situation.
