I was real mad about this patch (I hopped on to play about an hour after it hit and boy was it no longer fun) but I feel better after this chat thing. Fixes to the actual problems might take some time but they acknowledged the mistake and made concrete promises of specific things to address and that counts for a lot with me.
Yeah, that’s been my experience - that the people who are the least empathetic are the people who are having the same problem and trying the “tough love” approach on themselves to attempt to overcome it. They’ve shut off their compassion sensors because they can’t afford to apply any to themselves, so it’s not there for others either.
Update: I kept a careful eye on them and figured out what they’re doing when they run off: they’re standing still very close facing each other. Which I assume means they’ve run into each other and glitched but perhaps they’re just having a hugging contest.
Anyway, is it possible for a random user to submit a bug report or do I just have to wait for someone important to notice?
Tbh this seems like an entirely predictable consequence of not having enough good endgame equipment. Barbarians don’t really have other unique helms, you say? How weird! It was definitely like that the day before the patch, too. You know, when everyone was complaining about the lack of variety and interestingness in endgame loot.
Super neat! That explanation makes sense. I don’t know how the one packet got unsealed (it didn’t look unsealed) but it must have been.
The coffee shards were all shiny and they clinked when you tapped them together or against things. It was cool. Never seen anything like it.
In many emotional regulation frameworks (DBT, mindfulness) they talk about the recognition and pause as the first two steps. Noticing you’re feeling a certain way, and then learning to take a quick pause from doing anything - “one, two, three”. That gives you a small space within which you can then learn how to respond differently than instinct. Probably she’s not old enough to have learned those two steps yet. (Many adults haven’t either!) So maybe start there. Just “recognize” first, then “pause” after she’s learned the first one. It may take awhile, and that’s ok. Once she’s learned them they will be very powerful for many different things.
I miss bakingfails and the nail polish community :/
Most of AITA was fanfic too - just a deeply improbable amount of twins, pregnancies, weddings, and twin pregnancies at weddings. Once I stumbled upon a megapost that was all the ones about food, though, and it was great, because nearly no one bothers to make up a drama about lasagna.
The one silver lining was it brought us the glory that was the “everything in this sub is fake” punchline story, if anyone else remembers that one.
