She sends it to me every time she has that conversation. It’s how I know new girls have started working with her.
Lol I love being poly. I love watching people freak out when I tell them my love has a date. “OMG what if they leave you???”
I mean… I’m getting laid plenty myself and if that’s what they need then I want it for them. That said, I love her so much, I’m pretty comfortable sharing and everyone wins.
You can hear the gears grind 😌
This is one of those “a fish trying to understand a horse” situations, but as long as there’s consent all around and everyone’s happy; GLHF.
Where can I get a girlfriend/wife like that?
Asking the same question, I have no idea how to meet new people.
a bit cringe though
If you’re not cringe about your spouse you’re missing out.
Noted haha
That’s the cherry on top
they go well together I guess x)
I’m not a fan of judging/shaming others for their hobbies/interests, so it always makes me a bit sad when the defense mechanism is to try to flip the aggression on the other side, trying to shame the “normie” interests.
Nah, it’s the aggressive tone and the GIANT anime picture “edgy” that cringes me a bit, + the “Karen” + the “your man cheats on you”, as if us nerds don’t cheat (which to be fair, might be a bit true, but there are a lot of exceptions)
Yeah, I’m not disagreeing with you. I am focused on the aggression in particular: trying to flip things around to where the defense is a counterattack. Which could be OK in some instances, but the post itself equates having other interests (like, uh, socializing in person) as cheating.
Elsewhere in this thread OP is condescending towards “sportsball” and “clubbing,” which reinforces my point that he’s not talking about defending his own hobbies and interests, or even attacking judgy people who should mind their own business, but more interested in attacking others for having hobbies and interests inferior to his own.
In my eyes this is all cringe for those reasons.
Yet he who isn’t cringe cast the first stone
There’s a certain threshold at which it becomes too cringe. Balancing it is the key.
And the cow is balancing in the ocean.
l ain’t reading all that.
You just made your third grade teacher cry.
My third grade teacher was like 70 years old, decades ago, so I assume she’s passed.
You made her ghost cry.
Do you need help with the big words?
Yes. Help me.
And yet you took the time to write this comment…
Writing the comment took 2 seconds.
It shouldn’t take you any longer to read a few sentences than it did to comment twice about not wanting to read a few sentences
You’re just picking a fight now.
I was curious to see how far it would go honestly. Troll the troll, if you will
👍
reading is for woke libtards
“There was a time in this country where reading wasn’t just for f*gs. And writing too.”
Very sweet
So is your wife single?
Afraid not.
Can you ask her just to be sure?
She says go poach your own unicorn.
isn’t weird how there isn’t a word for unicorn rider? maybe its time.
Fack! Thanks for asking!
Casually describing herself as a unicorn is aspirational self esteem. Respect
She’s worked on it for a while. Therapy and walking away from the church helped.
You beat me to it 🤣
So is your wife single?
I also choose this guy’s wife.
I’ll get in line behind you.
There doesnt need to be a line for you to get behind me in that situation.
Hollow Night
All credibility lost.
Imagine getting persnickety over a typo/misheard word.
You think I’m just persnickety? I’m downright cantankerous!
You let “Legos” pass but this was the final straw?!?
Nah. My wife also tries to remember the games I play and sometimes almost succeeds like this. This is close enough from a non-gamer wife
Also my wife didn’t make the meme she just has the meme saved
Kel, get off the Lemmy. You have work to do.
[EDIT: I do not know this person, I have no idea who they are. If their name IS Kel, it would be fucking hilarious]
One can’t judge a relationship on an image alone but… there’s a few redflags on this one. I hope for you they’re false alarms.
Those are the red flags I need.
Those are checkpoints.
Checking phone 🙅♀️ 🚨
Soo… Hollow Knight. I’ve been looking for a Metroidvania game and this popped up. How does it compare to Metroid? From the trailer footage and the reviews it looks more of a super-precise platformer like Celeste with lots of cruel boss fights.
i lean more towards the metroid side of the metroidvania genre and i spent around 15 or so hours in hollow knight. it has beautiful design and very deep lore. the map goes on forever. the platforming is tough, but not exceedingly difficult. what made me give up is partially that the combat is too fast and goes on for too long, and partially that it has a corpse run mechanic, which i despise.
at least for a while you can get away with exploring somewhere else when an area seems too daunting, but after a while you hit combat roadblocks which means every failure requires a dash back with half health.
Hollow Knight is great. The bosses are tough, but manageable. IIRC, the only really tough platforming section is optional. I’ve been picking Metroidvanias from this list lately and been pretty happy. He also has some good maps for them. https://demajen.co.uk/tierlist.html
I was recommended it after I finished both Oris but I remember getting super frustrated with the death system which made the whole thing too hardcore for me and my 2.7 minutes of free time. Did I do it wrong?
As a pretty old dude, I feel you on the lack of time. That’s part of why I don’t mind looking at maps. I need to be efficient with my time. You do get items that help with survivability and a fair number of checkpoints. As with any media, you should never feel guilty if you’re just not feeling it.
The Ori games were beautiful and quite well done too. Best escape sequences ever.
Man, I wanted to like the game, but the souls-like trudge from the save point over and over, because I suck and get beaten by bosses easily, drives me up the wall.
They definitely leaned into the vania side of the genre. If it helps, my approach to bosses is to go in completely defensive at first. That is, don’t even try to attack. Learn the moveset, dodge, and eventually you’ll start to see where you can squeeze in an attack (or two or three). Don’t get greedy and stick to the attack windows that work for you. It can be rewarding, but it’s definitely not for everyone.
There is a (something like 50 round) pantheon at the end where you fight every boss/mini-boss in the game plus a unique boss for the final round. It’s literally like 45 minutes. I made it to the final round, but I will never finish it. It’s just too much for me and I wasn’t having fun.
Definitely a metroidvania where combat is a major point of the game. Not my favorite in that respect, since my reflexes get worse with each year that passes. Otherwise, it is in the top five of the genre.
Anyhow, I recommend a dark horse for your metroid fix, provided you are into puzzles. I think La-Mulana 1 & 2 are easily the largest and best games in the genre, but they require lots of out-of-the-box thinking, and some of the puzzles are really hardcore. If you are into Indiana Jones, this really scratches that itch.
The games come in freeware and commercial flavors.
Hollow knight is great, it’s one of my favorites. However if you are looking for something to scratch a Metroid itch, I’d suggest looking into Axiom Verge.
Looks awesome, thanks for the tip!
It’s a beautiful game. One of the best I’ve played. I just love the atmosphere, art style and music
It’s more focused on combat than platforming (tip: you can bounce off some spikes with a well timed downward aerial attack) and the typical metroidvania exploration and backtracking. Except there’s a brutal optional platforming section that I haven’t had the courage to face yet 😅
The bosses are tough, but not unfair. Some of the optional ones and the (true) final battle can be a bit frustrating but that makes finally succeeding just all the more satisfying.
Given that it it’s a couple of years old now it’s cheap to buy even when not on sale, so do yourself the favor and give it a try!
As someone who’s quite a ways through the map, what platforming section are you referring to? (Maybe spoiler tag it)
He’s referring to the
Path of pain
which is in The White Palace
I cannot stand the “work wife” shit.
just shows how severed many people actually are between real life and work life.
It’s literally a way to test the cheater waters. If someone calls you their work wife/hubby, their dtf and probing you. They just know they shouldn’t be because you’re fucking married.
golden retriever
cat boy
Hmm
Golden retriever ENERGY
An important distinction.
It do be like that
Look man, no one said the meme was perfect.
I did. I said it.
I fucking meant it too. YOU CHERISH THAT WOMAN GODDAMNIT.
now if you’ll excuse me I’ll be in my BASEMENT. VIBING. until my WIFE GETS HOME.
The new Sleep Token album is pretty great for that.
That’s a little passive aggressive of your wife to send that.
Gotta stay sane somehow.
That and she gets tired of telling coworkers about what she did over the weekend and be told that her husband must have something wrong with him since he doesn’t like sportsball or going clubbing.
Are you your wife?
Yes
What adult cares what another adults spouse does in their own free time? Why is someone’s wife having so many conversations they have to make a cringe “meme” to respond to these supposedly frequent conversations? Why is this persons wife straight up attacking other women and saying their spouse is unfaithful as if that is somehow the obvious outcome of thinking Lego is nerdy or whatever the point was
This is made up
If only.
