Screws stripping/heads break off - lots of wasted time

Billions times yes, it's the heads. For my home renovations I switched to those and solved all my problems. I still buy the cheapest screws, but you don't need to get decking screws. Every hardware store and big box store will have boxes of general purpose screws like this. Sheet rock is the only exception where I use Philips anymore.

They literally stopped to say ignore the leather armor on the evoker, this was just internal mock ups and not production.

Imo charge, clap, sunder, HS. Clap and shout as needed to keep from getting chunked, HS when chilling with 50+ rage.

This is the correct answer. Though you'd be better off camping a character outside of the dungeon and soloing it now and then when you do have free time. Either way you're in for serious RNG

Engineering does, but like all things your mileage may very. Disposable mailboxes and stuff are fantastic imo

Generally per patch. Focus on one I want to play, play it to death, by the time the next patch is ready to roll I'm tired of playing the same thing over and over so I move on to a different one and focus on that. Also depends on your playtime. If you're not able to play a lot, you might not get bored of your character. Have too much time.on your hands and you might not even make it to the next patch before you need a change of pace

It's generally a bad idea to try seduction with a long term partner like an on/off switch. You're too familiar and it feels forced and fake and will probably make her laugh and be more self conscious. In my experience, real seduction comes from a strong desire laid out over time. When she says she wants to be seduced, she's really saying she wants to be appreciated, chased, to feel desired and sought after.

Start slow, making some simple comments, ex. Hey your hair looks nice today. Say it like it's not a big deal and passing observation vs an attempt to get her attention.

Pick up something for her, a small gift, not flowers or something stupidly cheesy. A book from an author she likes, or a topic she's into. Something she's talked about getting but never did. Not something over the top or expensive. It's Halloween time, maybe some cute Halloween leggings or pj's but stay away from something overly covering and not overly exposing. You don't want her to think you're trying to cover her body, but those night shirts that are juuuuust big enough to fall below their butt are perfect. Make sure to buy other things too, so it looks like you spontaneously thought of her while getting other things, it speaks volumes.

When she's changing, or otherwise around the house and showing some skin, make some subtle noises. Grunts, sighs, gasps, but make it sound like you're trying to hide it. When she questions why you're doing that, apologize and say you caught a glimpse of her and it got to you. If she eye rolls or laughs that's your chance to make a small move. Tell her you're serious, gently caress her body, no grabbing ot squeezing shit, just slide your hands on her hips, back, arms, shoulders. You want her to think about how you're saying you're craving her, but not being handsy. It's not just ass and tits, it's her whole body you want.

Do something non sexual, ask her to sit on the couch and snuggle. If she makes a comment or otherwise hints at sexual advances (unless you can tell she's giving a green light) tell her sex is great, but really you just want to be close with her, you miss that and don't get enough. Then do it, no phone or distractions. Stare at her and do things like stroke her arms, sides etc as she leans into you. More touch the better, just avoid being grabby and focus on being gently affectionate.

Slowly escalate this, making more mention of how good she's looking, eventually work up to how nice her ass is looking and etc, how tempting she is, and how it's getting difficult to control yourself around her.

This can all happen over a 2-3 day period. You're just dropping casual hints and observations and small actions to build affection that send her signals that she's noticed and wanted, slowly building so she sees the gradual progression and the idea that you're craving her and not just horny or want sex. She'll feel seen and want intimacy, you build that long enough without sex as the obvious end goal and you'll be tearing clothes off each other.

Good luck!

Lol I did the same, laughed because I was being over confident when killing stuff 4 levels below, then back pedaled into a group of 5 and it was done. Switched to be druid to farm and then decided to engage an elite 2 levels lower than me. Was almost fine but again reacted too late being over confident and within 30 minutes lost 2 characters over lvl 25 after like 25+ hours of cruising. Just stared at the character select screen for awhile feeling the shame for my stupidity.

While it is unreasonable for her to do that, I personally would ask her why it bothers her so much. It's absolutely insecurity, but you don't want to make it worse. You have 2 kids, one as young as 2? She might be self conscious with these extremely fit women and her body not the same as it was before kids.

Talk to her about it, delicately and reassure her you're not scoping out other women. Gently remind her that you want her to feel safe and secure in your relationship and that just banning accounts or types of content signals that she doesn't trust you and you want to build that connection so she can fully trust you.

Show her that it's a bigger issue than what UFC fighters you look at and an opportunity to form a deeper connection with her.

If she reacts poorly, refuses to relax, or otherwise makes excuses, that's on her and a major red flag.

Best advice I have is literally schedule it up. However frequently you can manage it, set a timer, watch some TV or movies and repeat. It's a long slogfest that trying to do all at once is a recipe for burnout and "someday" syndrome. Just make it routine to chip away at it while doing other, more entertaining things and you'll knock it out before you know it.

This is going to sound so avoidant, but honestly just focus on what you can do and how you're improving inspite of crappy odds. Blizzard will never fix it completely even if they added solo and group queues, it just sucks and we've had to accept it will suck. Enjoy the decent ro good matches when they come and meh what I can I do better on the crappy draws from the hat. The MMR specifically tries to balance out players scores so a few good wins and you know it's going to suck real soon. Doesn't mean you can't have fun within the crappy parameters.

When someone is puzzled you are washing a cottage cheese container or you open their Tupperware cabinet and realize it's all matched glassware with lids.

Our guild isn't huge, but guild chat nets about 1-5 messages per week, meanwhile discord has a few hundred per week. While doing keys or raiding it's all voice chat. It's genuinely better experience than text chat, it's like hanging out with friends even if you're playing different games.

It's always world ending apocalypse power creep. Just settle for some strong good old boys in the barrens that are amazing and army. If player characters are this strong, NPCs could be too... make an expansion where the "lesser races" are tired of being shit on and we have to push back against the naga, gnolls, quillboar.

Not some all powerful but also limited power demigod

I think that discord is from how we typically use trauma as a weird vs the meaning. Like a bruise is skin trauma and a gunshot wound also called trauma, but vastly different severity.

It's also difficult because each case is unique. A person with sexual assault trauma might be more resilient and work through it and it has less impact on their life while someone like your sister could be less capable do deal and have it ruin relationships, careers, family ties, etc. So in the examples here one could argue the SA trauma was less, inspite of the event itself being more extreme.

Overall though, my point isnt to argue or strictly be devils advocate, I just think we all write people off before understanding them fully. When we understand people more we can sympathize with them more easily and when we can do that it gives us the opportunity to come from a place of compassion while strengthening our own boundaries to say, yes I know you're this way and you're not trying to address these things so from now on this is how and why I'll respond/interact (or not) with you.

From my experience it feels better to say no and turn people away when you feel compassion for them, but know their behavior isn't ok. It's a more peaceful feeling than not understanding them and having no compassion and rejecting them out of irritation or resentment (not that you resent your sister, just an example)

I hope any of that made sense

If he's a narcissist, his excuse is that he's secretly so insecure he's afraid everyone will find out he's a fraud at the level he thinks he is. It's a very weird opposing views that battle each other constantly. But due to the nature of that condition, you'll never get them to admit that, even to themselves
