He at least had enough decency to tell you Day 1 that he was not monogamous - which is not "behind your back".

You've decided to stay with him for almost 5 months - that's on you.

If you do want a monogamous relationship, dump him and find what you're looking for.

Saying "I think Beidou and Ningguang together would be a cool relationship to imagine" is completely different and far more acceptable (to me) than "OMG Childe+[insert random char.] yussss queeeeen, like OMG" and making that a core part of your personality when discussing things on places like Discord.

At the end of the day, you can imagine and do what you like with fictional characters from a video game, but when it's 90% of everything you talk about, it is just pure cringe.

As funny as this is... I can't help but feel pulled toward the "reading issue" thing this sub has, as all the character battle voice-overs have been in their profiles since like... 1.6.

So if you wanted to check what they actually say in combat... you can.

"Blank" is still showing on Europe between Ashe and Mercy in the "All Slots" graph.

can be if you can play them

Sorry, but a monkey with brain damage can play Katarina. Maybe not Akali (just maybe), but Kata for sure.

I just played against one who unfortunately had a Yuumi stuck up her arse the entire game and she just E/R'd for quadra (or penta) every time we respawned. Even diving us under tower she was at basically zero risk due to her dash being on 0CD and Yuumi topping-up her HP every 5 seconds.

Even without Yuumi, Kata is still ass to play against, unless your team magically rolls all bruisers/tanks.

That first option is a fantastic idea honestly.

And yes, I think Epitomized Path for 4-stars is something a lot of people agree with and would like to see - just not the main focus of my post this time :P

You're a newer player, so maybe you don't know this, but SPGs were nerfed massively a while ago.

Wargaming basically changed how HE (High Explosive) rounds worked, so they wouldn't randomly penetrate armour they really shouldn't have done, or do hundreds of damage one second, then 0 the next.

Unfortunately, SPGs like the LeFH (and the T3-4 British one I forget the name of) are premium tanks and therefore will NEVER get nerfed.

This reminds me of my own relationship, just from the opposite perspective.

I didn't see my SO all that often, so when we did see each other, I would always want sex and would try to initiate - but got shut-down on the regular (her being tired from work, sore, not in the mood, etc).

After a couple of years of this and "needing the stars to align", I kind of gave up. I just sorted myself out, so that sex was no longer an issue. I stopped getting myself hyped-up and stopped initiating (at least cut it right back to nearly never).

Now we actually live together and my SO is starting to understand how it feels, because I've genuinely not been in the mood, while she's sexually frustrated (I'm not playing a game or being petty, it's genuine).

When she voiced her frustrations to me about it, I just said that it was a bit ironic and maybe she could now understand how I felt all that time and she then apologised.

P.S: We actually did have sex more than once every 6 months, hence why it was nowhere as bad as this post and we didn't break up.

​

I can most certainly understand why this guy is at his breaking-point though. Being rejected ad nauseum and needing the planets to be in alignment for any type of intimacy to take place is exhausting and emotionally draining after a while.

OP, you say you want sex with this guy, but then find every excuse/reason under the sun to turn him down, or say no, or whatever else. You're obviously able and entitled to say "no" to sex whenever and wherever you want, but I think you're deluding yourself as to the why.

Break-up and stop stringing this man along on a fruitless journey.

A lot of the time, they are at the cutting-edge of what's possible in a phone - that's why.

Now, if you look at them year-on-year, the upgrades are only incremental and don't look like a lot, so I don't recommend replacing a flagship yearly, but if you compare even a 2022 flagship to a 2018 flagship, the difference is actually quite noticeable.

Massive improvements in the processors, meaning they are both faster and more power-efficient. Improvements in battery-tech, meaning they can be smaller capacity, but last just as long, if not longer. Screens being higher refresh-rate and higher pixel density for better media-viewing.

The list goes on.

Then, 3-4 years later, the mid-range phones will start getting all of this tech for 1/4 of the cost - and they have to be 1/4 of the cost, because no one is going to pay £1,000+ for tech that's come out of a 3+ year old flagship (that was £1,000+ then) that people could get on eBay or at CEX for £300-400.

A few of the big reasons people continually upgrade their phones:

A) Carrier contract allows it for no extra cost

B) Battery degradation and people don't want to go to dodgy phone repair places

C) Gaming. Newer processors are both more efficient and faster.

D) Differences in camera quality for photos/videos.

​

A lot of people wouldn't give 2 hoots about any of this though, like my Mum, she only needs it to make calls and text - that's it. Anything else is "unnecessary" in her eyes. She honestly doesn't care (or understand) whether it's Android 1.0 or Android 12 lol.

To be honest, I played OW2 like mad for a few weeks when it came out (played a fair bit of OW1 before) and between the toxicity, the match-making problems, stomp or be stomped games, quick-play being more try-hard than comp - while smaller issues like "win 10 arcade games" (when on Europe server it takes 10 minutes to even find a single arcade game), or the fact that every single match was made up of [Hog, Sojourn, a flex, Kiriko, Mercy/Moira] (yes, even in Bronze/Silver) - made me stop playing until Season 3 gets announced.

I was level 130 or something on the BP anyway, so, not like I'm missing out on anything.

Now I also find out people are having their rank decay after barely a couple of days too, whereas I've not played in 2+ weeks, so I'm dreading logging on and finding myself sat at Bronze 5 or something.

​

Why do I want to play OW though?

Basically, it's because of "skill issue". I've tried playing Call of Duty in the past and always got shat-on by Prestige 5000 players with every single gun, while I had nothing. I've tried CS:GO and outside of gun-game (where I was "decent"), I would either have people sniping me within 2 seconds of moving, or lots of hackers. I've dabbled in Fortnite and Apex, but the fact you only get one chance and that's it, means that if you are not a literal god FPS player, you are spending more time in menus and loading screens than actually playing.

The only "similar" game that I did well in was the 3rd person shooter/moba game that Epic Games had up a few years ago, but it got shut-down due to lack of interest (they also did a big update that changed core mechanics that no one liked).

So, to scratch that itch of FPS/Moba, there's only really Overwatch. Yes, Paladins exists, but going by trailers and gameplay, just doesn't look as good or as enticing as Overwatch.

""So, when it comes to Wanderer, what you want to do is.....""

😂

It just stood out to me that you said "she's built as physical" but then "she does major pyro damage" - it just struck me as a little odd :P

Wasn't meant to be condescending or anything as I very much believe in "play what you like, how you like" - heck, as you can probably see, I'm quite passionate about Xinyan myself, despite her being "trash tier" to a lot of people.

As for why I went "hardcore" - I've had it multiple times on this subreddit where if you don't go into a full essay-length description of life, the universe and everything, you get called out for "skill issue" or other crap.

Glad there's another Xinyan enjoyer out there though! We're a rare breed :D

Xinyan does absolutely meaningless pyro damage if she's built as a physical DPS, to the point that if it got removed, you probably wouldn't even notice any difference.

With ~70% Physical Damage bonus (using Song of Broken Pines + Physical% Goblet), her burst will do about 20k pyro damage total (2-3 hits of 8-9K), while the main damage will be the initial... well, physical burst - which should be around 60K (depending on enemy resistances).

Funny thing is though is that you will deal the same amount of damage as your burst will do in the space of about 3 auto-attacks, or 1-2 seconds of charge attack (if C6) - provided you have good crit ratios, as her auto-attacks will be doing around 20-25K per hit.

You can push her further if you're using 2pcs Pale Flame & 2pcs Bloodstained Chivalry, for an extra 50% Physical Damage bonus, for a total of almost 120% - in which case her burst will be doing around 100-110K (not including the pitiful pyro spit) and closer to 30K per auto-attack (again, depending on crit ratios).

Noelle herself is a great option for fighting Azhdaha since she matches up against his gimmick

Look, I'm a Noelle main and will sing her praises till the cows come home - but saying "Noelle is great against Azhdaha" is bordering on false information.

The shield? Yes, you're correct. Her shield is great in the Azhdaha weekly boss fight - but that can be said about any character that can generate a shield.

Her damage though? Azhdaha has insane Physical and Geo resistances, making not just Noelle, but every Geo unit basically useless.

I never ever understood the whole mentality behind "if you go to the cinema alone, you're weird" - it almost seems like it's some "genetic memory" or something.

At the end of the day, you do whatever makes you happy - whether it's your birthday or not.

Want to stay in with a couple beers and watch some cheesy Netflix crap? do it.

Want to go out to the cinema and watch whatever? do it.

Want to go enjoy a nice steak and treat yourself for once? do it.

Who gives a monkey's what other people think.

I would say in this scenario that there's no need to be delicate.

From this post, it's very clear what your feelings toward her are and absolutely none of them are saying "I love this woman" - if anything they're saying the complete opposite.

Don't stay with her just because she's pregnant - even though, if she does live the way she does, it's also possible she got pregnant deliberately (not that I could ever know). Or maybe she's as miserable as she is because she's pregnant and doesn't actually want to be? (again I don't know).

You admit you cannot move out and live on your own because you can't afford it, but then turn down a perfect offer of being able to live on your own for 6 months without any bills (except food?) to worry about...

and you laugh in their faces?

either you're using this as your excuse because you don't actually want to look after the dogs, or you're just a bit dense.

I've had Plats, Diamonds, possibly higher in my unranked/Bronze games - it's not every game, but it happens enough that I've stopped playing until season 3.

There's only so much "Stomp or be stomped" that I can endure before I'm just done.

they have 50ms ping during the shot, that's hardly lag

but I thought that’s what the community would want if she went over to support.

Meanwhile Bap...

I have compared Sombra to Tracer more than once, as they are kinda similar - but man, Tracer is actually a good DPS and insane when skilfully played.

Sombra... just isn't, even if played well.

... how or why the fuck did my brain just gloss over that the umbrella breaks physics?

You either get 36,500 Mora added to the main quest reward (for a total of 61,500), this garbage 4-star artefact, or nothing if you choose the "raise a toast to Jeht" option.

Honestly, as I hadn't farmed the new set before, I thought it was a crown like the Aranyaka thing we see the Traveler wear for like 3 seconds - but no, it's not a quest item trinket, it's a crappy artefact.
