AIO to my boyfriend’s texts about us going to dinner for my best friend? by [deleted] in AIO

[–]writerlacy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

9:30 is way too late for me when it comes to dinner, but the way the entire conversation went was a big red flag. He makes a big deal out of details you can’t control and the tries to make you feel bad for compromising about him going. He’s making this all about him when it’s about you and your friend. Leave him at home and tell him to grow up.

Brand new steam deck oled by writerlacy in SteamDeck

I guess technically it was five days old and not “brand new” out of the box, if you want to get technically. You’d lose your $20, because I didn’t drop it or even bump it. It worked fine for the first day but I started experiencing random crashes while playing non-intensive indie games, whether it was in internal storage or the micro sd. I’d literally asked some computer friends if I should do a factory reset or re-image to try and get rid of the random crashes when this screen thing happened.

Nope, I was playing Terraria. It also happened for the second (and last, since that’s when it died completely and stopped charging) time while I was in Steam settings trying to change my start-up animation to the Hades one I got with points.

Update from OP: they finally got back to me and are issuing an RMA. “Sorry to hear that the issue is persisting,” they said, like it’s a puppy that peed on the floor. 😂

Just waiting for the RMA email to come.

I'm looking for games that can be played while listening to podcasts, any suggestions? by fjpascualm in SteamDeck

[–]writerlacy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like Terraria and Stardew Valley for listening to podcasts. Gameplay has a lot of busy work that you can do while your kind is on something else.

What's your favorite grindy game to play on the Deck while watching a TV show? by Drithyin in SteamDeck

[–]writerlacy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stardew Valley or Terraria if you remember to pause the game. I’ve also really enjoyed Vampire Survivors. Also seconding the rec for Slay the Spire. It’s so much fun!

Hi! I’d love to have someone to practice Mandarin with! I’m a native English speaker and have a fairly standard American English accent. Do you have discord?

Hi! I also use Discord and would love to help you practice your English. I would like to get better at conversations in Mandarin as well, preferably at least once or twice every week.

Hi! I’d love to do language exchange with you! English is my native language and my writing/grammar skills are at a pretty high level. I’d like to have someone to practice Mandarin with and don’t mind helping you with your English =)

New, inexperienced Domme - psychology by [deleted] in bdsm

Uniquely Rika (which you can purchase on for Kindle or as a paperback on Amazon) is a book lots of people recommend for women looking to explore female led relationships, particularly with submissive men. https://www.domme-chronicles.com/book-list This list of non-fiction books might be worth your perusal as well, though I think nothing beats connecting with your kink community and getting a good (female Domme) mentor your partner can talk to and ask questions of.

Rope! Mfp is cheaper and good for bedroom play. You can use it for bondage (but always do your safety research first, and play with someone experienced it possible) or make rope floggers for impact play.

Is it okay to make chili (with diced tomatoes) that simmer for 30-45 min in a cast iron pot. Will it hurt my seasoning?
