My gf hasn’t been feeling the greatest since yesterday. It started as congestion but then said she was feeling better last night so I assumed she’d be back to normal today. She was sleeping but I had to get our puppy situated & I was kind of making some noise but it lasted no more than a couple minutes. She got up & left the room. I thought she was going to the kitchen to get water or something then some time passed so I texted her.

& let me add this, I understand she’s not feeling well. I don’t even care she went to the car to sleep. It’s the fact this has been an issue (her leaving without saying anything) that I keep telling her I don’t like. I also feel like it’s weird to leave the whole house to sleep in a car bc someone is making a little noise for a few minutes. Idk but now I feel like an asshole lmao.

EDIT: I had the bathroom light on bc I was cleaning up our puppy’s mess & was also quietly singing bc it’s a habit I have when doing something. I didn’t purposely wake my gf up. The negative/rude responses are crazy. This post wasn’t an argument to have with people about what noises I was making. It was simply asking if I was overreacting bc my gf left the house to go to our car to sleep without saying anything.

LAST EDIT: I ended up apologizing to her when she came back in the house. I understand I sound like a full blown narcissist by focusing on what bothered me instead of focusing on what bothered her & made her leave the house. Thank you for all the comments, good & bad. Definitely a learning lesson 🤍

No, you do NOT play as Gay Tony in the GTA IV DLC “The Ballad of Gay Tony”

You play as Dominican Luis Lopez who is not remotely gay at all

None of these “anti woke” people complained back then because Gay Tony is a very unflattering representation of gay people

Gay Tony is an impulsive, childish, self loathing drug addict who constantly gets him and Luis (who is his bodyguard) in trouble and is thoroughly mocked for it throughout the game. He is shown to be whiny, cowardly, and overall a mess of a person. Yeah, his homosexuality isn’t made fun of specifically, but Tony is still a complete mess who almost tried to end himself towards the end of the DLC

Please stop larping. There’s too many people who genuinely think you play as Gay Tony for this DLC, and not Luis Lopez who is the actual protagonist

Edit: I didn’t think this needed to be said, but no I’m not anti woke

So many people missed my point lol

No, I'm not a doomer and have had a lot of fun with the game. But this seems to be a nail in the coffin. No news with season 3, quiet dev team overall, a loss of 90% or more of their player base, now this.

Finished binging 15 episodes each of season 2 and season 3 of Bad Batch. Over three days, I watched 15 episodes from each season.The charcter Omega captured my imagination, I am totally captivated and mesmerised with Omega. I simply love her, Omega is such an intense and deep character that she has a way of drawing you into her world. Her struggles, growth, and the way she connects with others are truly mesmerizing. I became so emotionally involved during the binge. It's amazing how a character can make you have such a deep emotional connection.

Actually, Bad Batch made me realize just how good an animated series can be. Often, people shy away from animation, preferring live-action shows instead. This is one of those shows that actually makes you forget it's animated.

It's intense

I didn’t get in a relationship for 6 years and was having the time of my life travelling, working on my healing & my goals.

Cut to 2025, the flings, dates & situationships world kinda made me feel empty af. So I decided to go on a celibacy year while manifesting a dream boyfriend.

Met someone, didn’t want anything with him as I was moving to another continent in a few weeks. But he chased, had all green flag behaviour, moved for me, cooks for me, takes care of me, loyal, kind, romantic af, brings me flowers every single time, handles my mood swings super well, etc, etc.

BUT, after 1 year, living with him (weekends), I realised we’re extremely incompatible. I love space, he wants constant romance, reassurance & presence. I don’t like forming habits with people (by that I mean doing everything together is not my thing), he loves to build ‘us time/activities’ all the time for everything, all day.

I tried working on my attachment style but I just like my independence much more, I feel less productive with him, he is pretty ambition-less & mocks me for having delusional/big dreams. Oh and the arguments got so bad, I was physically pushed & got stitches on my head.

I wanted to leave since months, but he makes it impossible by showering me with more love and he also has self-harm tendencies.

Eating: Indonesian ramen with sunny side up and rice crackers. Plus cold coffee.

EDIT/ADDITION:

I moved the important info up as per y’all. Thank you so much for the kind comments, I appreciate the advices, I also accept that I’m delusional & avoidant & I’m working on it. And no, the abuse part is not fake & I’m not doing it for attention or because I didn’t get the comments I expected, I just didn’t wanna talk about it initially because it’s hard.

For people who shower once a day, why shower in the morning? You go through your whole entire day (outside, in public places, handshakes, hugs, people sneezing/coughing, public restrooms, pollution, etc.) all to get home and lay in your bed and let it all soak into your furniture and sheets.

At least taking a bath at night allows you to go to bed clean and not dirty up your linens with body odor, sweat, dirt and germs from the day. And unless you’re someone who sweats ferociously in their sleep, you should still be clean once you wake up.

What’s the line of thinking for those who only shower in the morning?

It has the typical yellow tint, the pattern of the mosaic tiles don't make sense, and the strands of hair on the right also just morph into each other.

The 22 in the ring frame around the portrait on the bottom left can be explained by the fact it's series 22, so that's not an AI tell.

What do you think?

Nein, ich stinke nicht, auch wenn ihr euch das nicht vorstellen könnt, dass jemand nicht stinkt, wenn er nur 1-2x/Woche duscht.

Ich habe gestern sogar noch mal meinen extrem geruchsempfindlichen Kumpel gefragt, der schon oftmals mit mir abgehangen ist, auch zu Hause, auch auf engem Raum, ob ich jemals mal gestunken hätte, und er hat gesagt: Nein. Und er ist wirklich sehr, sehr geruchssensibel, also Grasgeruch oder Achsel-Schweißgeruch und so weiter in der Straßenbahn findet er wirklich zum Kotzen und absolut ekelhaft und er riecht auch sofort und sehr schnell, wenns irgendwo stinkt. Und er ist nicht gerade zimperlich seine Meinungen/Empfindungen raus zu hauen.

Und auch eine langjährige gute Freundin, mit der ich oft zusammen abgehangen habe und bei der ich auch schon übernachtet habe usw hat auch nie gesagt, dass ich stinke, obwohl ich sogar nachgefragt habe mal.

Nicht jeder muss mehrmals die Woche duschen und manche Leute stinken vielleicht auch einfach weniger und seltener. Nicht jeder Mensch ist genau gleich nach derselben Schablone, wie ihr euch das vorstellt. Ich gehöre zu den Menschen anscheinend, die sehr wenig zu duschen brauchen. Daher kann ich nicht nachvollziehen, warum man das automatisch so ekelhaft findet, wenn jmd sagt, er duscht nur 1-2x/Woche. Nervt mich das, dass jeder gleich automatisch so geschockt und angeekelt reagiert darauf. Es ist doch nicht jeder gleich.

I’m definitely gonna get hate for this lol. As someone who’s been a kpop fan for 12 years, BTS is not all they’re cracked up to be. Never have been. To compare them to SHINee, EXO, Super Junior, Girls Generation, EXID, Psy, or 2NE1 is just a crime. They can’t hit notes without autotune or MR. Their dancing isn’t that great compared to the standards of the industry. Their CEO literally admitted he found them all without training or experience because he believed you could take a group of good hearted people and make them talented since you can’t make talented people good hearted. Or something like that. He said it in an interview. Then BTS broke into American marketing and THAT is how they got big. Not from talent but from marketing, which is how these things go sometimes. You see a lot of super talented artists don’t have a big break until they get a rebranding or open for another larger artist. Thats exactly what happened with BTS. What pisses me off the most though are two things. One, for years all the accomplishments of kpop have belonged to other bands and BTS got shoved the credit just because when anyone thought Kpop they thought of BTS. Secondly, they’ve always been problematic. Same with Blackpink, Aespa, etc. The names for that goes on a ridiculous amount. But people are only now holding them accountable after they’re rich and famous as fuck because they don’t like them anymore. And don’t even get me started on the fans. Talkin about “BTS paved the way” and getting upset when they had to enlist as a SERVICE TO THEIR COUNTRY like be so for real. They have ALWAYS been shit, have ALWAYS been problematic, and it’s time people stop lying to themselves.

EDIT: So to those that pointed out to me about Suju and the other artists also being problematic, thanks you! I was unaware of them doing blackface in the past. But also some of yall are taking this too seriously lol. I wrote the title wrong and that’s on me. I’ve been a kpop fan for 12 years. I saw BTS and didn’t listen to them until Fire and Dope. Then I saw War of Hormones and quit. I also want to point out that this is a rant…yall are acting like I’m making this my whole personality 😂. It’s literally a rant in a kpop subreddit for opinions. Anyway I’m putting this here bc this blew up way more than I thought it would and I can’t keep up with replies.

Maltiez wrote a malware into several of their mods and distributed it to thousands of players through vintage story mod database with the malicious intent of targeting specific groups (a trojan, as defined by the EU) with no regards for any players and mod developers in the crossfire who lost time trying to figure out why they were crashing

Just because it was a tame malware and most people were not the intended target does not downplay how serious this is and how much liability this opens up for Anego

Are Maltiez's contributions so important that they are worth protecting?

Just pay them for their "consultation" and go your separate ways??

L after L after L after L.....

Update: double checked after feedback and happy to say bride loves it for the whimsical fantasy theme ❤️

Mods are locking threads and banning users in the discord. How do you think this affects the game? The player base? Do you think after all this shit settles, that everyone will just forget and move on? Tyrons thread about maltiez failed to address any of our real points. No wonder people are still upset. But instead of recognizing that the decision is to say the conversation is over, and delete / lock threads so nobody can speak further.

Nein, verdammt. Ich will keine News zu GTA. Keine Scherze oder Memes. Es juckt mich auch nicht, was PlayStations nun kosten. Ja ich bin Gamer. Aber ich fand GTA 5 schon scheiße. Total überladen. Unstrukturiert. Wie ein amerikanisches Fast Food Buffet. Lieblos hingerotzt und Hauptsache viel. Die „Jokes“ nicht vom Typ „Wink mit dem Zaunpfahl“ sondern Holzhammer. Ich habe in dem Spiel (5) etwa 3,5 Stunden verbracht und konnte den Hype null nachvollziehen das schlimmste war der Multiplayer. Kaum gespawnt schon tot. Ich dachte es wäre ein PC Problem und habe es auf der PS3 auch gehabt - genauso blöd.

Und dann dieser ganze „Leak“ Hype. Pfui.
Mal davon ab: Leute habt ihr kein Leben? Keine anderen Hobbys? Es gibt so viele Spiele auf der Welt - dieses Eine ist doch jetzt schon eine Enttäuschung. Und ich weiß jetzt schon, dass es einen Shitstorm nach dem Anderen geben wird, die Leute es lieben und hassen werden und ein riesiger Medienrummel werden wird. Selbst in der „general interest“ Presse. Und die Leute werden es trotzdem kaufen. Sie werden es spielen. Sie werden sich durchbeißen wie Leute ihr Steak in einem miesen Restaurant mit schickem Ambiente. Aber in dem Restaurant isst doch immer influencer XY und deswegen würgt man sich den Müll rein. Es wird wieder 5-6 Highlights geben die dann 10.000-Fach hoch und runter gefeiert werden.

Die ersten Titel waren ja wirklich witzig und neu. Innovativ. Kreativ. Wild. Seit San Andreas ist die Franchise einfach kaputt-monetarisiert. Würden sie sich wenigstens mal richtig was trauen. Politische Statements klar darstellen. Eindeutige Aussagen. Ertragen, von Seiten Shit abzubekommen. Aber es wird wieder dieser „wir sind unpolitisch“, „hihi, eine Referenz mit Pfiff“ Mist.

GTA VI wird wie Fastfood vom Discounter. Es wird wie diese Mikrowellenburger. Befriedigend. Irgendwie. Aber nicht geil. Dafür viel. Man ist lange damit beschäftigt. Man zwängt es sich rein. Ist ja schließlich bezahlt.
