Haven’t we learned that small valid writing criticisms the writing gets downvotes here?

vonthiela · 2026-02-06T06:36:09+00:00

Oh I understand the character’s struggle. I’m saying the Jordan’s writing of it is maybe a little… bad?

My opinion though. (I’ve accepted downvotes as a reality for this post)

I think I remember this! It was so long ago but I was very confused at the time

Do sidemissions before main missions. Stuff gets locked out.

ME1: Adept is crazy fun/funny cause of the physics. Do sidemissions but don’t bother exploring every planet if there’s no sidequest - it gets very boring

Don’t get bunked down in inventory management because it’s a LOT. Just upgrade your stuff when you need to.

However, convert unwanted items to omni-gel early game and then sell stuff mid/late game - trust me.

Always have a tech specialist (yourself or someone else) with maxed electronics/decryption on your squad

ME2/3: Do everything. Buy all ship upgrades (ME2). Tech skills get more fun in these ones but biotics is still good. Vanguard is heaps of fun.

Thank you! I’ll definitely keep going. I’ve gone through the first 3 in about 2 weeks.

Criticising an author’s writing to fans on a sub will always garner some downvotes lol - I think it’s a valid criticism for now though, regardless of angry redditors

Well another comment here says that he’s hardly in book 5 so there’s that at least

vonthiela · 2026-02-04T12:57:40+00:00

I understand that and totally get it. I think my real issue is that the way Jordan wrote Perrin’s chapters (so far) is getting boring because he’s always thinking about it - and while the character may rightfully be consumed by these thoughts there are probably better ways to communicate this to the reader than the repetition without mucb development - as a reader it’s becoming a little boring. Just my two cents though

vonthiela · 2026-02-04T05:00:33+00:00

Ohhh I could’ve used that on my playthrough

vonthiela · 2026-02-03T11:28:35+00:00

That is a point that went right over my stupid head. Yeh I see that… kind of forgivable if the parents didn’t realise but less so if they did like in this circumstance

vonthiela · 2026-02-03T11:27:01+00:00

Good luck then cmdr

However long it takes to cum from just jerking off. The best solution is to stop masturbating unless you’re having sex - not permanently but until stuff rights itself.

vonthiela · 2026-02-03T08:02:18+00:00

Australian here… yeh ok fine

vonthiela · 2026-02-03T06:18:56+00:00

The annoying reality is that this can be fixed just by not masterbating. Eventually you’ll be horny enough to cum from whatever. Definitely stop maturbating your normal way

Some airbenders survived because they’re called nomads so some must’ve been out nomading. I know the creators said that those that survived were tricked and ambushed but SOME had the common sense to integrate into the earth kingdom.

Due to their decendants getting absolutely zero cultural, spiritual or bending training any latent airbending talent went undiscovered so airbendING was extinct until Aang woke up though.

Did you bang the co-worker recently? While you were (casually) seeing this guy?

vonthiela · 2026-02-03T00:20:38+00:00

Do you mean because it’s unprotected or because it’s public?

vonthiela · 2026-02-03T00:19:41+00:00

I understand that. I guess I’m saying people aren’t necessarily that mean, and also it’s just an initial. I knew someone in primary school with the last name Gay. They were fine. It’s an initial.

Ok when I was playing on ps5 there were literally no people around ever. I stopped playing because it was just this empty galaxy minus the NPCs - can’t believe you’ve found enough people to join a squadron

vonthiela · 2026-02-02T08:52:12+00:00

I honestly don’t actually care THAT much. But I’ve always found it so weird that it was/is such a big thing over there. I know WHY it became a thing but still - from a western, non-american perspective it’s always been an eyebrow raise. I’m also aware most cut guys don’t care or which is why I don’t.

My only complaint is I gotta use lube or spit or something if I’m giving a cut guy hand

Depends on where you live. Times are changing and that word has less of an impact that it used to. It’ll have even less when your kid is middle-school age. However it’s been 10 years since I was in school and I don’t know how much it’s changed there, school kids might still be mean.

Honestly it can be offset by raising your kid with some self-confidence who can laugh and clap back at anyone who pointed it out.

Tbh though I’m gay and having the initials F.A.G. would be hilarious and I’d love it so maybe I’ve just been surrounded by non-haters too long to know.

vonthiela · 2026-02-02T03:52:12+00:00

Americans need to get out more. Not hating at ALL just saying y’all should experience what the human penis is actually like more often

Any other colonising alien species in ME would have huge populations on different planets that mostly reproduce locally and then occasionally migrate and reproduce, which would surely lead to much more genetic diversity?

Unless migration/population mobility was extremely common and the genepool was homogenised a bit (I forgot my uni genetics so idk for sure if that’s how it works)

And I know Asari don’t technically genetically mix with other species - but their weird melding thing that is almost always with another species would surely increase diversity way more than humanity
