Child Support and paternity fraud plz help
Where do I begin. For the purpose of this post, I will use fictious names and locations as it is ongoing, and out of respect (even though she doesn't deserve any)
My name is Daniel. I am 35 years old, and i am dying. I have a disease called systemic sclerosis. I am currently on a supplemental disability plan, until I get approved for SSI (social Security). Until then, my income is about 4K a month. I own a home but after child support and bills, NOT INCLUDING gas, food, haircuts, medical appointments, and or emergencies like my fridge just broke. (which i never go out) I am left with $260 that has to last me a month. I also have three children who I have to take care of half the time per the 50/50 agreement.
Recently, I found out my oldest, (who is 13) is not biologically mine. I decided to look into it as I had concerns for a while since my divorce as her cheating was very rampant. I also had caught her in 2017 with a man in my house, which is what prompted the divorce. But FL being a no fault state, doesn't matter. I also had to pay child support since the beginning and WHILE LEGALLY Married since 2010 because she had applied for financial support like food stamps and government assistance then. I know what your thinking. Why didnt you stop it then? I tried. You cant take yourself off child support. I also never grew up with a father and wanted that two-parent household. I don't run from responsibilities, like he did. Its how I was raised. Anyways, I married her, tried to do the right thing, she lied numerous times. she never worked, and I worked 90 plus hours a week. To look into her cheating, was impossible at the time as I was never home. and to busy providing for my family.
fast forward to now. My disease started to become worse and over three years; it didn't reveal itself until last year fully to actually pinpoint what this was. for instance, I had in 2019 pain behind my eyes and horrible headaches to the point that I thought I had MS. following year, I had trouble swallowing for 3 months. next year itching in the skin for three months. But prior, I had visited various doctors to see what was going on, each time a flare up then would last 3 to four months, which again, when you don't understand what's going on, you need to take time off to go see doctors, run tests, but this illness was and still is very elusive. with that being said I had 5 jobs since its first flare up till last year to continue to support my family and to pay child support. as of last year. I'm having trouble moving on certain days, breathing and acid reflux and muscle atrophy. (disease progression) especially when this is going on, it worsens everything as this is flared up. I was working under the table to try and make ends meet as I was paying child support still. I should add that the child support with 50/50 custody was $1029 for three kids cause I was making six figures at the time of divorce in 2018. Last year however, I couldn't work anymore, and filed for disability.
In june of last year, I had asked Susan, to get the children school supplies, (which she never does) as I was still paying at the time $1029 in child support. She said she didnt have the money despite now making 70k and her new BF living with her and is working whom she cheated on me with. With me working under the table, I bought them clothes, haircuts, school supplies (ive done every year) but then, I noticed she went on vacation to puerto rico and got a giant leg tattoo. At the time, I had already known what I had, and I asked myself why the heck am I doing this? So i turned to an attorney to get it modified. Again, this is June 20th to be exact of last year. My lawyer, stated that this was only going to be a 90 day turn around for the temporary modification then we will go for the final.
Since then, I have gone for a DNA test. I had to know. I am dying. I wanted to know. And you may judge me for this. but i have filed for disablement for paternity, meaning I am removing myself from the birth certificate. However, in the state of Florida, a mother can deny this and so can the courts. before you judge me, I have many reasons none of which have to do with him other then his mental disability (Aspergers) This illness, as days go by takes more and more from me. As previously aforementioned, I am left with 250 a month. I cannot go get a drs appointment pay for groceries or start planning my funeral which I will start making payments on soon. He also eats three times the amount that we all collectively do (Not his fault) but I have paid enough both mentally and financially. He also has trouble communicating as my suspicions is, that he was born of incest (gross) which is why I was 'chosen' to be his father at the time. Before you ask how do you know? Lets just say she had an uncle 'leave' during that time.
anyways, in February, I had the temporary modification hearing for child support and needless to say it was a circus. My doctor was subpoenaed to be there by my attorneys request to better my argument, even though I felt we didn't need her, she advised me to have my doctor there. Well, he attorney attacked my doctor and me for an hour and 40 mins when the court case was only supposed to go for an hour. He said "you saw another dr Max so and so and they said it was all in your head" (again I had flare ups on a illness that hadnt revealed itself correctly since last year). So there argument was that I was doctor seeking to avoid child support. After I have paid for 13 years never missing a payment. Her lawyer also targeted people who are living with me. Now I'll admit that I said they were friends which is true but how else can I pay for my attorney? Cant work, cant sell drugs, cant rob a bank? So they want to take there income into consideration. BS. She also hired a private investigator to watch me exercise outside and stated that because I can exercise, I can work..... Ok. Where's the 23 hours of the rest of the day watching me in pain. or when do you have me on video of a flare up from this terminal illness? (that's what I wanted to say)
Although I was granted the temporary modification, of $209, I left the court thinking wow, this woman can cheat, commit paternity fraud, not give two craps about our children, live with her mom in a section 8 home, and here I am doing whatever I can and I've done nothing wrong but be lied to and this is how my government, my country treats me? No wonder men my age dont have children this is insane. The paternity issue wasn't even brought up they said that this isnt the place for this and that the disestablishment will be another trial for those wondering. My lawyer only spoke for 5 mins. Asking her about her income cause thats the only thing that has changed since 2018 since she didnt work at the time. Other than that, it was an attack on me and my disease arguing my ability to work.
after leaving that, I didnt eat for 96 hours. I have since been crying nonstop. Compilating suicide. I am already heart broken about my son not being mine. Sure does a terminal illness make me said, no question everyday. But a life wasted on another? Cause I decided to be a man and take up responsibility? thats soul crushing. And to say "well, there is a big chance the courts will deny your request' thats BS. If i go to prison because I was accused of a robbery for 13 years, and DNA evidence proves I wasnt there, I get out of jail and can sue. This is no different. If anything, DNA evidence needs to be more of a factor in family law than in almost every court of law if not as equally important. My bad for not investigating her infidelity not only in the beginning but also in the end. How about not being a POS. sorry rant over
gets better. Her mom and dad smoke in the section 8 house, kids reek of cigarette smoke and marijuana, all day. they dont take showers there, they were hand me down clothes, they live in the garage shared with there mother, that isn't air conditioned. and he makes only a few thousand less than I do a month. She stated in court that she pays her mom $500 in rent which is BS, she is only doing that now so that she makes herself look bad. I know she is doing pills, like oxy and what not. Id love to prove it.
after the temp hearing, in april, I had to go to court to contest my drivers license suspension as I hadn't paid child support since, august of last year. again, there is no way, I can pay my bills, feed my children, go to the doctor, pay my lawyer to end all of this BS and pay the current child support amount. and again, this final hearing is still not set yet. So they intercepted my tax return, even though the temporary modification was approved, the final is what gets it retro backed to the date of filing, so they took, a much needed 5500 tax return from me. I needed that cause one of the issues I failed to mention as well, hurricane Ian has destroyed my home and I'm still going through that process too. not to mention I am on payment plans with Mayo clinic and other various medical facilities. (no one cares) but the interest that accrues, makes it impossible to catch up. also, Florida department of rev is overstepping I feel, and asking for medical info to be sent to them as well as updated doctors letters to be sent saying that I am still on disability.
a few weeks ago, I got an email from my lawyer having a withdrawal notice from her lawyer. in the withdrawal, he stated that he cannot represent her, due to something she may have withheld or lied about (more or less wasn't worded like that but you can tell). In feb court appearance they never produced the PI report, or videos, they had medical info they shouldn't have had, and they had very outlandish comments about my lifestyle. So my lawyer filed immediately a motion to compel. meaning, we want to see everything you have on my client. this was filed almost immediately after court appearance on feb 20th. Susan has failed to provide any updated info requested by my attorney so on june 18th, we have that upcoming hearing.
in the mean time, I have sent my lawyer, a very heavily requested topics, such as "where did they get my medical records, if those were lies, what are the consequences if any"? What did exercising have to do with any of this despite various drs saying he has to or he will get worse.
I know wat you must be thinking, what about your oldest, how can you do that to him. Please listen. This woman has taken everything from me. And i mean everything but the roof over my head. I am seeing a therapist to help with the suicidal thoughts. it isnt enough. the reality of it is, I chose to be loyal and it bit me in the butt. This disease will rob me of everything, my teeth will fall out ( I had 5 cavities last time I went to the dentist) I haven't had a cavity since I was 30 and even then I was suspicious. And I am brushing 5 time s a day to save them. My skin is tightening, and my arms and muscles are wasting. I will literally be left with nothing. My organs will also start to harden, and I will have to start getting around the clock care.
I forgot to mention they (child support) recently, sent a letter to SSI (social security) saying that they would garnish my SSI before I even got it, totaling $1029. the incorrect amount. I sent this to my lawyer and she is looking into it. But it shows that child support will overstep and breaks every law or freedom you may think you have. I DO take care of my children. if they need a haircut i do it, school supplies clothes, anything I do it. And I do it, cause she wont. What I want to leave you with, is that woman can be dead beats too. Child support was designed to have woman off of government subsidized programs like section 8 food stamps and what not. Also to make the man pay for their children man or woman I should say, I know this. I am not running from my obligation. I just want Susan, to have to pay for what's she's done to me and the kids.
I would like to hear your thoughts on this, please comment and share, all names are fake, but everything else is unfortunately real. I know it was wordy, but I wanted to provide as much backstory as possible. And please. Respect my descions. When you are end of life, I hope someone would be kind enough to respect yours. You may not agree and that's ok, but I am asking you to respect them. Thank you for reading.

so theres this one game i played while i was a little kid that i absolutely adored. i kept playing it over and over but i just cannot remember what it was called. thankfully there was one scene that stuck out to me, so i hope that can help !!! thank you for the help :- )
Platform(s): I played this on the playstation two, i remember the controller
Genre: Action / Beat em up? It was similar to crash bandicoot or like classic sonic in sonic generations. you could play several different characters
Estimated year of release: i honestly have zero idea, im so sorry.
Graphics/art style: i want to say this game was apart of a franchise, because im pretty sure i remember there being a television show ? though that could very well be a mismemory. it had decent graphics for the ps2, very cartoony. it had that 2000s edge going for it.
Notable characters: first and foremost i remember there very vividly being a giant worm of sorts attacking the building the family was stuck in. i think it was a hot air balloon that they lived in? i want to say there was five characters. one was a teenage boy, and another was some sort of furry creature? i also believe there was a mother and father. regardless, they all had orange and black jumpsuits on. each character had their own set of skills
Notable gameplay mechanics: you had to run from left to right through the place while spotting the worm from outside the windows. there were some mini enemies, but it was mostly platforming. you made your way onto the roof to fight the worm and you had to avoid being eaten. i dont remember what happened if you won or lost which blows, but i remember very vividly how cool it was to watch the worm slither past you outside the windows while you jumped over a pit
Other details: im not entirely sure, but it could have been a cartoon network game.

i'm vietnamese-american diaspora and being honest, i am not very connected to my culture but i would totally love to visit vietnam one day
i do not look very vietnamese both in my physical appearance and in the way i dress, both of my parents are only half vietnamese but their other halves respectively are white and black, and i was always raised celebrating vietnamese holidays and with both of my parents primarily speaking vietnamese, despite this though, i am very often mistakened as filipino from the way that i look
i read before that piercings in vietnam can be seen as scary or associated with bad people, but is this taboo as crazy as japan's opinions on people with tattoos and piercings?
i wear "gothic" style clothes and have a largely stretched septum piercing (2 gauge) and i was wondering if it should be a good idea to put in a tunnel so that my piercing isn't visible?
i know that a lot of people in vietnam have never seen anyone with a stretched septum piercing before, so i wonder if i would be like upcharged heavily or given dirty looks for my appearance (it seems that all foreigners are stared at or upcharged in vietnam though, so i'm unsure if it'd even be that much of an issue or difference in the first place)
and honestly, even people here in america give me some dirty looks from time to time (old people) for the way i look and dress, but i never really cared about it, i just wanna make sure i wouldn't be starting any kind of trouble or whatever going into a different country with different culture!
is it something that is much of a big deal?

Inherited around 1.8 crore recently and have told no one about it yet outside my little family. So brief summary about my family I have an elder sister[22] and my mother[46] is a government employee.My father died when I was 9 years old and the next five years were the most horrible time ever for us three ,cause my grandmother was toxic(she died in COVID) and threw us out cause their son died in a accident and my parents had love marriage and and now my grandfather passed away . We are just a small family of three in tier 2-3 city.Own our own home ,car ,couple of more properties,no loans . Elder sister just completed her college and is preparing for Government exam.I am in college 2nd year and life is really good now . But I have literally no idea how to handle this money cause my mother has left it on me cause she does not want a single dime from her in laws .
So I am really dumb in money and financial issues ,so any help or your opinions on what to do with this would help significantly

For context I (25F) was in a really bad relationship from 17-19 and he ended up being charged and going to prison for a year. My bio father is also a diagnosed psychopath with schizophrenia who is also in prison.
This relationship ruined my life, ruined my happiness and just everything. I’ve been in therapy once a week since.
When I was 19 after the restraining order I made a best friend who was going through something similar to what I’d just escaped, we became close and she used me as a therapist for a good 2 years. Even after stating that I can’t hear about this anymore for my own healing journey over 50 times. I was guilt tripped into being her knight in shining armour (flying interstate to get her from this guys house and take her home just for her to fly back to his and want me to go there again) until I grew a spine and ended our friendship.
This came with extreme back lash from our friendship group (who had no real idea about what was going on) so I left the group and lost life time friends to get away from her. I have slowly made different friends.
After this friendship I had extreme anxiety giving advice to anyone, whether it was about them getting stuck in traffic, or if their pet was sick. I was scared what I’d say was wrong and it genuinely gave me stress.
I now have been with my Fiance for 5 years, we are really happy, I’m extremely lucky, we don’t fight or argue, we are at the stage that everything is just bliss and second nature.
My current closest friend Amanda 27F has really tested me this past year, she has been dating and using me as a journal. This has stressed me out but I’ve recognised this as my own issue and that I should be a good friend and let her talk about it.
She now has a boyfriend and has started to complain about things. I told her I’m sorry but I can’t hear about it. You have lots and lots of friends that you are close with and I think it’s better if you start going to them when things happen. She called me selfish and that it wasn’t even that serious.
The next time I saw Amanda we were at our friend Jane’s house and Jane told me her Fiance threw a bottle at the TV. I left her house after seeing it and told her that this is a boundary for me and I’m really sorry but I just don’t have any advice other than you need to leave him. Jane understood me but Amanda saw this as me being a shitty friend and followed me outside to tell me I’m a horrible friend and I’m not supportive.
I feel this is not true, when someone’s family member dies I am the first to bring flowers or cookies and I try to be really nice to everyone. It doesn’t come naturally to me any more and I get very nervous. I even call to check in on people I know are struggling. I just can’t hear about these relationship issues.
Amanda told me maybe friendship just isn’t for me if I can’t be there for my friends.
I just simply don’t want to be the one to give advice and support for abuse. Even if it’s trivial or an argument. I know that some people need to talk to get out, I know that it is not the victims fault but I don’t care. I don’t want to know about it. I am not your only friend or your therapist.
Am I the asshole?

My son Toby is having a sixth-grade parent vs child basketball game (his school is weird because it's K thru 6th) as part of their graduation year-end activities. The game is Friday and I agreed to sign up. I'm not good at basketball. Don't care for it. I'm pretty competitive with other sports though.
Unfortunately I was at the gym this morning and heard and a pop in my thigh. I can't even walk. I told Toby that I'd have to drop out and he was bummed. Then I came up with a brilliant idea. My 19yo son Remy is home from college and I told him he would take my place. He wasn't thrilled but he has no choice and Toby liked having the parents have a good player to enhance the competition. Remy does track at school.
Then I ran into Toby's stepdad who heard about my injury and said he'd love to take my place and if I could put a word in with the vice principal to give him my spot. I said Remy is stepping in for me. He said Remy doesn't even want to do it. I said I appreciate the offer but it's not like Toby doesn't have an absentee father who needs the stepdad to step in (no pun intended). I said BTW I don't give a fuck if Remy doesn't want to do it. He's lucky I don't tell him to wash my car.

I’m planing on getting a new tattoo and want to get one Bob Vylan related but I’ve got no idea and wanted to see if anyone here had any ideas. Would like to get one song title or lyrics related but have no idea what.

Ok, so I just spent like 20 minutes making a tik tok slideshow with all my evidence but it got like 3 views so I wanted to share my ideas somewhere. I haven’t written an argumentative essay in years so I’ll put my evidence out more like bullet points.
Jaime Lannister is Azor Ahai.

1. Reborn amidst salt and smoke

I don’t remember any of the exact lines, but Vargo is referred to as “slobbering” many times throughout the series, in both ACOK by Arya and ASOS by Jaime. What the fuck does this matter? Well, the definition of slobbering is “the condition of having saliva dripping from the mouth.” Spit, salty spit, drips from Vargo’s mouth as he cuts off Jaime’s hand and the master swordsman is reborn. And where does this happen? Nearby Maidenpool, a town that the Brave Companions have just BURNED! Salt AND smoke.

1. Lightbringer

I’m sure we’re all familiar with Lightbringer’s forging but I’ll go over it quickly for those who aren’t. He tempered the blade in water, it broke, he tempered it in the heart of a lion, it broke, finally he killed his beloved wife with it and the sword became magical. Jaime’s lightbringer, in my opinion, is the positive change in his character. The personality is first tested in the baths (water), when he confides in Brienne. I think this is when Jaime’s opinion of her changes, and he no longer dislikes her. However, he “breaks” when he nearly passes out after sharing the details of the Mad King’s death. When Jaime gets back to King’s Landing, he tempers his new personality with his family (Lions). He is more honest and dutiful towards them, which leads to their relationships “breaking”. Tywin wants him to quit the King’s Guard, but Jaime refuses because it was a commitment for life he now wants to see through. This results in his father growing very angry with him. Jaime is honest with Tyrion, and tells him the truth about Tysha, which results in his little brother hating him, and wanting to fight him the next time they meet. He is honest with Cersei, telling her that her plans are bad, and that she’s surrounding herself with yes men and spies, and she grows angry with him and dislikes him. His new personality was tempered in a lion and their relationships break. Finally, there’s the wife. Jaime isn’t married, but loving Cersei is a big part of his character. I’ll bet if George ever locks in Jaime WILL kill Cersei, if not because of Azor Ahai than because of the Valonquar prophecy. Cersei is prophecies to be killed by a younger brother. Although her and Jaime are twins, Jaime came out seconds after her, making him also her little brother.

1. Valyiran Translation

I wouldn’t put too much stock in this, but “Golden Hand” in Valyrian is Aeksion Ondos, and “Lord of Light” is Aeksio Onos. Jaime thinks men might call him Golden Hand or Golden Hand the Just.

1. Flaming Sword Dream

I’ll be honest, I’m not sure where Brienne fits into this theory, but I would imagine she’s a part of it. Jaime sleeps and has a dream of him and Brienne with flaming swords holding off the darkness. The flaming swords represent probably lightbringer, but the dream is had while he rests his head on the stump of a weir wood! That’s GOTTA mean something.
Well, that’s about it but if you have any other evidence foagainst this theory please comment. Have a good day.

Hi, so I'm posting this on behalf of someone else. My friend was involved in a coercive relationship with someone else where she didn't know he had a partner. He convinced her to launder money for him through her account.
Basically, all she knows is that the money (cash) came from his elderly father, no idea the sources. He asked her to lodge it through her account and transfer it so she did. He told her at the time that it was years of cash his father had stored up working when bank accounts weren't really a thing. The amount was roughly £2k. His father had become ill mentally so apparently had asked him to lodge this cash for his care. She has since found out that her actual partner who she knew nothing about was pulling this line with others and laundering much more than that.
My question is, if she was to report him now, what happens? Would this have an impact on her job? Would she be better off reporting him? She didn't know at the time of lodging the cash where it had come from, but now feels uncomfortable having been involved, particularly given the coercive nature of the relationship. My friend is currently in therapy around this relationship.

I did something today I didn't do in a long time. I took a long shower.
Growing up, one week out of the summer we'd visit my (Great) Aunt and Uncle. They'd rent out a beach house and me, my parents, and my cousin and aunt would all drive down. As the years went on, I started being more self conscious about my body. I started wearing shirts in the water. Afterwards we'd all go in and take showers. Mine would always take the longest towards those later years. I would just sit on the floor of the tub crying. Crying about my body, crying because I thought there'd never be hope for me to be me. This was a daily occurrence throughout those weeks. I don't really think I need to explain here, I'm sure most of you can relate. My family would always tease me about the long showers. I know what they thought I was doing. That of course didn't help at all. Fast forward to now, more than a decade later.
I recently went on HRT. My 3 month would have been this week. A few days into it.. I lost my car, in which had my license, my social security card, my birth certificate, all of my favorite clothes, my favorite backpack, and worst of all my life saving medication. I know I know.. how do you just lose a car. It wasn't stolen. I had been driving a while.. I needed a break. I pulled into a city, hopped out of the car, and went for a walk.
I have no idea how it happened.. but my keys.. my phone.. both just vanished. I had no idea where in the city I was. I had no idea where my car was. That night I slept on the stoop of some building, with only my leather jacket to keep me warm. I spent a few more nights wandering before giving up and tryin to make my way to the next city. A cop scooped me up on the interstate, brought me to the closest hotel, and got in touch with my father. So here I am.. 28. Living back with my parents. I came out to them before all this. My dad 5 years ago, and my mom about half a year before this happened. I'm stuck. This house is not conducive to a healthy mind. My mom has refused to use ANY name to refer to me, dead or chosen. She will actively avoid pronouns all together while I am a part of the conversation. My dad is trying, he uses my chosen name, and at least uses neutral pronouns. My dad's side of the family is aware too, and while "supportive" I can tell it comes from a place of pity. My mom's side doesn't know, or atleast I don't think they do. One of my aunts from her side reached out to me, but mom was adamant that I don't respond. Mom has also been actively lying to my grandparents telling them I'm not here. She claims its because she doesn't think they'll accept me. Such hollow words. Its so obvious that she is the non accepting one.
So here I am. Trapped. Trapped in this body I hate. Trapped in a house so filled with shit I can't take one step without tripping and knocking over ceiling high piles of garbage. Trapped in a family that doesn't truly see me. Unable to move forward. Unable to get a job as nothing within walkin distance is hiring, ontop of not having any actual valid forms of ID. Ontop of all the stress of having to go through that process of getting all that back. I was in a different state when I started HRT and I can't even get back on it in my current situation.
So yea.. today I took a long shower.

Hello I’m not sure where to start we got together around the beginning of 2020, I’m pretty sure he love bombed me and I fell for it we spoke about what we wanted from a relationship early on and I probably should’ve taken it as a red flag when he said he wants to be a father and was pressuring me to remove my contraception, I refused as I wanted marriage then kids and we only just met but I was due to have my contraception removed afew months later, before having my contraception removed he proposed to me and I said yes after my contraception was removed he got me pregnant and we had a child together, he’s never been around much since I was pregnant I’ve done it all on my own and he used to accuse me of cheating when in reality I was tired from taking care of our child full time alone, he started working away while I was pregnant and working saturdays then sundays he would hang with mates and it just never stopped. I’ve caught this man crossing boundaries multiple times he then gets mad at me and he only gives me the truth if I come to him with proof. I’ve seen some things recently an email came through I saw and came to him about it and he’s trying to convince me that I didn’t see it and I’m accusing him of doing things he’s not when I 100% know he’s lying as I have proof of this email. Also I have seen he has been on gay hookup app since last year (we’re both apparently straight) also he’s been on at least 2 dating apps since early this year that I know of but don’t have proof but I know what I saw and he will try convince me otherwise. Obviously this mans never going to stop but I need to get out with child safely and legally how do I even process this I have no idea who I’m sleeping with help. This is just the beginning 6 months ago we split and there were court orders in place he convinced me to remove which now I regret because I realised he’s played me and I loved him. He’s being so nice right now I think he might know somethings is up but not exactly what it is, or maybe he’s guilty for lying and trying to make it up to me in other ways but I just want the truth my guys been telling me for months something is up and I wish I listened sooner. Feel free to ask any questions I’m sure I’ve missed some stuff as I’m struggling to comprehend everything I know. Thanks for reading :)

Hi! My father was from Greece and used to say “If you can’t fight the fear, do it scared.”
I want to get this tattooed on me in Greek. Is the correct translation
Εάν δεν μπορείτε να καταπολεμήσετε το φόβο, κάντε το φοβισμένοι.
If I got just “Do it scared.” Would the correct translation be
Κάντε το φοβισμένοι.
Thank you!

Well, that took a while.
Wasn't hard, by any stretch of the imagination - this game is pathetically easy, even more so than the first Drakengard - but no other game in this series makes you repeat the same ten hours so many times in a row. Would've been fine, if not ideal, if all the enemies got buffed up on each subsequent play through like in Automata, but everything stays exactly the same. There's not even a modicum of challenge during the second, third, and fourth routes outside of maybe Tyrann. On the round that I was ready to sacrifice my save file for Kainé, I had the whole thing down from start to finish in four hours, and I took a thirty-minute shower halfway through. I'm pretty sure I spent less time actually playing the game during that run-through than I did mashing through cutscenes and sitting through loading screens. And good Lord, were there a lot of loading screens. It's like they could only render six square feet's worth of world at a time. You take a look at just about any noteworthy open-world game, including Automata, and you can run from one end of the map to the other and likely not encounter a single load zone. Meanwhile, this game has to load five times to get from the library to the Facade mansion, and it still lags hard whenever you use Dark Blast.
Don't get me wrong, I still enjoyed my time with the game. The combat was great (though the camera seemed appalled by the idea of moving in its own), the story was incredible once it started picking up steam, and I adored ending E where I got to control futa chick Kainé and there were a bunch of callbacks (er, call-fowards?) to Automata. Still, though, the issues that I had with the game were really pissing me off.
Maybe I should've played Gestalt, instead. Sure, I would've missed out on ending E, and I've heard the combat is more in line with the Drakengard games than it is to Automata, but a clunkier combat system combined with being on weaker hardware would probably help with the overall game's low-budget-high-ambition feel. That's how I was able to enjoy (or at least stomach) Drakengard 1 and 3. Plus, I've heard that the father character strengthens the overall story. I was expecting Replicant to speak to me more, as an overprotective big brother myself, but it's clear Taro was an only child and it felt less like I was Nier and my sister was Yonah and more like she was either Nier or Kainé and I was Grimoire Weiss. Having Nier as the dad and Yonah as the daughter would definitely make a lot more sense.

Hello, within the past year I completely self sabotaged my career. I’m almost 23, joined the army national guard in high school. I joined with the intentions of becoming a pilot and last September got accepted. I was supposed to leave last June, but I really wasn’t feeling right about it so withdrew from the program. I was nearing college graduation and had a passion for real estate, specifically appraisal. I discovered that I hated working behind a desk. I stopped working there about 4 months ago. Since then I’ve worked odd jobs with no legit career prospects im really interested in. I was wondering if any of you have been in a similar position. I am debating going back to the guard to try and get my slot back, but I backed out for a reason. I’ve also been considering active duty military (marines) but tbh I want something where I can really build a career off of. Appreciate any advice or insight! I like construction, but I feel like trading in being a pilot for a construction worker is a stupid idea, at least that’s what my father says. I don’t want to place my personal self worth in a career but I feel like I am really doing that.
