Quotes about games in relationships

I’d like to discuss some of the game under Klopp which showed our change in mentality. I’m not going to include games like Barca, Dortmund or City at home 4-3 in the league. Given our European royalty and one off nature of these games, we were perfectly capable of winning those on our day. There’s a momentum backing up in those game. I’m talking about games where we broke our voodoo. Usually when we had faced those situations before, we faltered.
Final game against Middlesbrough 2016-17. We needed to win to qualify for top 4 competing with Arsenal. We were not playing well. Also got the news that Arsenal had scored. It was nervy. Step up our big game player, Gini Wijnaldum, just before half time. I consider this the most important goal of Klopp’s tenure which put us on further path for success. Things could’ve been so different had we gone 0-0 into the second half.
United at home 18-19. Our performances against United had not been great in the past few seasons. And added to that was that Jose Mourinho was their manager. We scored first but they equalised. At half time, it felt like we were going to drop points again against them. Thanks to our cube, it didn’t end that way.
City in Charity shield before 19-20 season. Getting 97 points and still finishing second was soul crushing. Also games against them had been very edgy the previous season. City scored in the first half and looked threatening. It felt like we might not be able to stop them. They looked a step above. It the second half, we totally dominated them. And it didn’t feel like it was a one off thing based on momentum. Tactically, we crushed them. Even though we lost on penalties, there was a little fear about City, which went away. That game must have been a huge confidence builder for the 3-1 game at home.
All these games are embodiment of Klopp’s quotes,”From Doubters to Believers”. Free feel to drop any other game that comes to mind where we showed our shift in mentality.

A few days ago we fought from 1:30a till about 8am. We have lengthy arguments like this all the time. We used to date, and it played a key role in the end of our relationship along with us having different values in general. I made it clear before we started dating I can't handle much fighting, particularly yelling, because of aspects of my childhood.
Two fights happened on my two birthdays- or before other important things like it's the night before a road trip or I'm ON the road trip. They happen when I want to go to bed or I'm about to run an errand. He monologs for literal hours at a time, and I can't speak up when he speaks incorrectly on my part because then I'm interrupting him and that causes more issues than me being misunderstood or remembered incorrectly.
In our relationship they were often caused by me not wanting him to pay my for my phone/phone bill before we'd been dating for even 3 months, though they were also caused by me being late to coming over and stuff like that as well. Sometimes I'd accidentally fall asleep after work instead of coming over, if I lay down after a shower, which I did a few times as I worked very early in the morning, and it made him feel like I didn't value his time.
I didn't talk to him for a few months after we broke up, even though he tried to contact me to apologize several times by texting/phonecalls/visiting several times at my apartment. Eventually someone knocked on my door and I opened it before I realized it was him. I didn't want to turn him away so we talked and he very sincerely apologized and talked about how he'd been going to therapy. I could recognize a great deal of change in him and we caught up on eachothers lives.
I moved to a different state like a week after we got in contact and i am struggling with this long distance friendship. He wants to talk all the time and I.. don't. I enjoy texting but sometimes I want to watch a show or play a game uninterrupted, but if I don't respond enough he feels ignored. He also likes to talk on the phone all the time and I really really don't enjoy talking on the phone at all, especially for hours at a time. We talked every night for a couple weeks in the beginning. But after a bad fight i reminded him I don't like being on the phone and said I wanted some space, which had been on my mind prior to the argument. The next week we talk on the phone for like 3 nights for a few hours, and maybe a few other little calls here and there, but he says it's not enough
But the thing is.. even when we talked for hours every night and texted pretty often it still wasn't enough. The only time it was enough was a short window when I checked my phone pretty obsessively to make sure I didn't miss a message from him and always stopped what I was doing to take his call
If my snap score goes up when we're not talking he asks me about it. I don't know why but I feel uncomfortable explaining to him the other people I talk to in the day. And often I'm not even talking to them when I'm not talking to him- they send me snaps when I'm not on my phone. I don't respond to anyone unless I make sure I respond to him first to avoid this exact issue. I feel anxious when my friends snap me because I know my score will go up and he's going to ask me about it
For the most part, our fights presently revolve around him feeling like I don't care enough about our friendship or he's feeling ignored by me. But I really really don't know what to do anymore. I was talking on the phone for hours at a time, I was texting all the time and keeping my responses as long as possible.. I was planning movie days, etc. It was never enough.
He's upset my responses are getting shorter. And to be honest they have. Often times I talk about my life, especially someone else in my life, it triggers a fight. Not always in the moment but it always comes back to bite me in the butt later. Particularly if I'm hanging out with my roommate, because in my friends eyes he and I get to hang out with all time. Which we kind of don't- my time is far more devoted to my friend than my roomate. But even if it wasn't- I like hanging out with my roomate because we can quietly sit in the same room together, and we don't have any conflict. He is a very kind presence and I'm grateful to have him as a friend.
It's hard talking about your life while also revealing the bare minimum about your life, and so I'm responding kind of shortly about my things and just try to focus on him.
The fight we had a few days ago was about us not talking enough. Sort of. The reasons our fights go on for hours is because I don't know how to respond to him when he brings up an issue. I sincerely try my best and I try it all. When he brings something up I explain to him I understand his concerns, both using his exact words and in my own words I explain why he's upset. If I agree with him I will apologize and tell him how I'm going to fix it and I fix it, after we fight for a few hours ofc, because he doesn't believe I can understand/apologize and fix something so early into a conversation.
Other times he keeps pushing me to explain myself, but if I explain my pov, things really really blow up because I don't always agree with him. And I think he confuses me not agreeing with him to not understanding. One of our fights came because he was upset when I got home with my roommate at 1am, when I had a 3 hour drive at 8am the next morning. Which blows my mind, because he fought with me literally all night before I drove across the state. I didn't tell him that though, I said I didn't mind getting home till 1 because I had fun when I was out and will still get plenty of sleep. But we still fought.
Anyway... the other day he brought up he feels like we don't talk enough. And I said I understand it's hard but this is the boundary I'm setting because I don't enjoy being on the phone. We fight and he says that even when we do talk I'm not talking enough right now. We fight and I reluctantly told him I just don't feel comfortable opening up right now. We fight and fight and it's turning me into a person I dont know or how to control.
In the beginning of our relationship I was quiet and just agreed to everything he said to avoid the argument. This didnt always work but it tends to. Now I get so overwhelmed and angry after several hours I mute my phone and scream into my pillow. This last call I started hitting myself, which I've never done before, and the next day my cheeks were bumpy and itchy, my forehead was swollen, my scalp hurt to touch, and I'm still getting over my two black eyes. He did NOT cause me to hit myself and he doesn't know. I feel silly for doing it. But I find myself at my breaking point and I don't know how to manage these fights anymore.
After hours and hours I break down and I just start agreeing to whatever he says I'm wrong about because I want it to end. I repeat the very thing I said eight hours ago- what I'm wrong about and how I'm going to fix it, but only now after crying on the phone all night long is it kind of enough.
He sent me a long apology the morning after the fight and said he wouldn't do it anymore. I thanked him for not wanting those fights anymore. He sent me a pic of his dog and I said she was cute. That night I let our streak die. He messaged me this morning "you let our streak die" and I sat at my phone for ten minutes thinking of how to respond and eventually I just decided not to. He called me twice tonight at around 8pm and texted that he wanted us to talk for a bit, but i had made plans with another friend of mine a week ago to play animal crossing, so I did that and didn't respond to him. At 3am I saw he was typing on snapchat and I'm anxious because I've been receiving snaps and know my score went up, even though I have sent zero snaps to keep the number as low as I can
I know he wants to be friends still
But I sort of don't want to be friends anymore???? I really love the positive things in our relationship. In a lot of ways he was the best boyfriend and best friend I've ever had. But I can't do this anymore. I hate the person I am in these fights. I know he does not control my actions, it is not his fault I scream in my pillow or gave myself black eyes. But I have never in my life had any sort of romantic or friendly relationship like this. And I don't enjoy it. I really really love not fighting with my loved ones. And I really feel like no matter what I do to make him feel heard when he brings up an issue it's not enough. Every fight we have damages our friendship, which I've told him several times. I used to get over them easily but I am just so drained I always feel wary for the next blow up.
But I don't want him to feel like I'm abandoning our friendship? I don't know how to end a friendship? I've never had one end that wasn't a result of just growing apart. I don't know what to do. Sometimes I wish I never opened my door when he came over. I'm supposed to go to my home state shortly and I'm very anxious about being in the same state as him

Some backstory before you bomb me with let it be that's not your business, cuz I'm really worried about her and she is such a nice person.
I'm not a very friendly person. I'm cold and have a very tough time making friends. Our school organized a trip to Paris before graduation and I thought I was going to be alone, like always, and didn't mind since one gets used to it.
I was shocked when one of my classmates ( let's call her Lee to make this easier) offer me to share room with her and one of her best friends ( let's call her Nancy, she is the main character of this story).
They have always been kind to me since I arrived to school lash year. Lee even invited me to her Quinceañera and even today I can't understand why they were all so welcoming and nice to me.
We weren't the closest of friend so I was really surprised. I later discovered that Lee turned down and offer from one of her friends to be with Nancy and with me. That's another story, so I won't go into detail about that.
When you share room with someone, even if it's for a week, you get to know them a lot.
I knew she had a bf because we where all in the same class last year. What I didn't know is that they broke up.
She told us the whole story when eating at McDonald's with another friend ( let's call him Dan). He's relevant to the story since he's friends with the friends of Nancy's ex. Nancy told us they broke up in good terms. After the break up some of his ex's friends ( let's call the ex Cole since keeping up with the ex bla bla bla Is getting tedious) told Nancy about his multiple affairs. They were at least 3 in the 8 months of the relationship. One at the FIRST WEEK. Another one when he went to visit his relatives in Rumania, and another one I don't remember when.
We talked a lot that night. A few days later Dan told us some nasty things Cole said at Nancy's back. For example, quote, You changed me for that fucking nasty *beaner*.
It's important to say Dan isn't friends with Cole, so he might have said that to hurt Nancy through Dan, idk.
My sister is also friends with a friend of Cole. I listen to the audios he sent her and we can sum them up by saying that "Nancy was a slut, trying to get someone between her legs". He also told my sister that Nancy ended the relationship because, quote again "she wanted to be with other men while Cole was away, since she didn't felt loved enough". He also told my sister that he was texting a lot of guys with very friendly messages, while Cole worked his ass of to give her the best, spending many money on her, like if she was an investment or something.
Let's say that, at the very end of the relationship, a guy started texting Nancy and there was mutual interest. Though she always turned down his offers and invitations for the relationship's sake.
It's also worth mentioning that after the break up, Cole was dating again after literally a week, showing off her girlfriend specially to Nancy.
Nancy hasn't been in any dates since. She kept on talking with this guy though, but it wasjust texting, nothing more.
Now, fast forward to today, they're posting stories together holding hands and kissing ( Cole and Nancy). I haven't asked Nancy or Lee about it ñ, but it seems very, very sus to me.
I'll ask my twin, Queen of the gossip, if this is real or just bait.
I haven't talked with Nancy a lot since the trip, more than the usual hi wassup. I'm really looking forward to keep my friendship with them since they're really good people.
I really want to help her since I found what he said and what he did to her almost unforgivable for a boyfriend.
Idk of someone here has been to something similar to help me to help her. Thanks of you read through the whole post and look forward to your comments.

My partner and I have been together for 5 years. I have an office job while he has a physical on-his-feet-all-day job. Most weekdays I don’t expect anything from him. I cook dinner and clean up because I feel he could use the rest after being on his feet all day.
But on weekends, I still do all our domestic chores while he’d only do it when being told to. And if I don’t elaborate, he just does what needs to be done. E.g if I said take the rubbish out, he’s take the rubbish out but not put a fresh bag. I feel like I’m taking care of a child.
It also feels like he puts zero effort in the relationship. He doesn’t take me out unless initiated. He see me with handful of groceries & will ignore instead of help. Hands full, won’t open the door for me. He’s always tired. Constantly on his phone playing games. Puts his noise cancelling headphones all day.
Almost feels like he is narcissistic. I’ve always felt that he thinks about himself & not others. I want to end our relationship but it feels hard to walk away because he has severe mental health issues & I worry he’ll hurt himself if I do. But I’m tired & I think I’ll be happier on my own. It’s heartbreaking that I’m the only person putting in the effort in this relationship. Do I just be honest & walk away. What he does is not my problem anymore?

Prologue

Hello and welcome to my post. I will subdivide this into two large parts. One will cover my thoughts, feelings, my hopes and dreams...While the other will tell you the specifics of how I pass the time, what topics interest me, what passions do I posses. I believe that at the end of this leap into my inner world, you dear reader, will have all the necessary information to judge whether we are compatible or not.

Part I
I am writing this in the hopes of finding something that I lack. Lately I have had this feeling, this tinge of melancholy within the dephts of my being, this yearning to find a kindred spirit, another Soul, much like mine, to form a bond with. Perhaps Loneliness is the right word for what is bothering me, but to use it seems to carry with it a connotation of ungratefulness. Ungratefulness for the people that I do have in my life, although none of them, of course, have the connection to me that I seek here.

I have found it increasingly necessary to seek in this Life a sort of purity of thought. What I mean is, I have began to undestand what ideas and concepts are ultimately compatible with my inner most Self, ergo what guidelines I have to follow to feel the most whole. Naturally I have likewise realised what I cannot add to my Self and what I will henceforth reject with all the power that I posses.

With this new context in mind, I now follow on the path of self improvement. I will now begin to mold my Self into my perfected idea of how the Self should be. This is certainly a significant undertaking, one that will not be easy to follow through on but one that I ultimately have to do. To me such context is essential. It is akin to a Guiding Star shining in the night. I will follow this Star for without it I am lost in the vast Darkness.

Looking back at my life, it was suboptimal, especially if one compares the way it molded me to how I will now mold myself. I suppose I must look on with a hint of regret at all that time which one might consider to be lost. Still... I try to stave off such decisively negative interpretations, after all, I have ultimately came to these conclusions. That means that somewhere along the line I had to have picked up on enough of such ideas for them to become so cemented in my consciousness. Well, either that or I was always like this, but in that case I can at least thank my life up to this point for not being able to supress such manifestations of my inner most Self.

To add to the topic of my life, I must admit that not all the battles have yet been won, not all the Demons vanquished, not every Mountain climbed. I want you to keep such things in mind when deciding whether or not to approach me. Many will shy away, I undestand that much, but the pursuit of true Companionship is just another such battle. Having said all that I do believe that being able to overcome hurdles together carries with it a certain appeal. That is to say, what's the fun in joining once the Game is already over?

I don't shy away from such challenges, perhaps to a fault. Certain troubles that I faced in the past carry with them a long shadow over my current health and well being. Still, I intend to change little in this regard other than the proficiency with which I will clash the current of my Will against the cliffs of Life.
Part II
In this part of my post I will tell you about my interests and hobbies, I will try to be thorough, commonality in this regard is rather important to build a relationship
History. I have had an interest in history for almost a decade now, it started back in school and developed from there. Well, now that I think about it one could argue that it started even earlier in my life as I liked watching the odd historic documentary or film aired on television but it wasn't regular back then, I never actively sought it out. I am mostly interested in European history in the period between the 18th-20th century but I sometimes branch out to other time periods and other parts of the world. I watch various channels related to history and read articles and sometimes books. I have recently got a few books on the German revolution of 1848/1849 and a historical magazine on the Thirty Years' War. Besides that I try to visit museums sometimes.
Literature. Especially old novels. I like to immerse myself in the Worlds of these books, I tend to read them while listening to thematically fitting music and take my time with them. One time you are following a troubled Youth in his quest for spiritual understanding of the world, another you see the aged and decrepit Doctor gambling his very Soul on the promises of abtaining satisfaction in earthy pleasures, then again your olfaction notices the most pleasant scent known to man even as the one eminating it has the appearance of a revolting Frog. These and many other stories open up to you once you decide to set foot into the literary World.
Languages. I know three, with one being a bit rusty. I am currently working intently on strengthening it. I believe that if I continue to apply myself in this regard then I should be able to finally conquer it. What language am I working on? Well, if you were to stack all the major works in it they would be as tall as a house... It is fun to go through different works in multiple languages, the same goes for film, games and such.
Games. I recently played Cyberpunk 2077. Well as recently as I played any major story centric game. Now that the dust has settled and the bugs mostly removed...It's not that bad. The main questline at least. Besides that I tried Fallout 76 (Very average, I'm dissapointed with what they made the "RPG" system) and I might give Deus Ex Manking Divided another spin (since it's somewhat similar to Cyberpunk when it comes to its aesthetics). Dark Souls is one of my favorite series, I still haven't beaten Elden Ring though. When it came out I wasn't in the right mindset to invest a hundred hours into it, with all those bosses and difficult locations. I think I'll only consider playing it if I am streaming it to someone. I am generally interested in either streaming games or having the person I am talking to stream them to me. To be specific I mean streaming to a single person while being on call. Besides that I'm a big fan of Paradox strategy games, especially Europa Universalis IV and Heats of Iron IV, I tend to only play single player since I find multiplayer with many people to be rather stressful but on the other hand I have nothing against a co-op game. I'm not the best player though, despite the ammount of hours I have in them. Another great game I would mention would be Dragon's Dogma. A very underrated RPG. I recently beat it again and it was an atmospheric and interesting experience. It is one of those games that feel like they have an endless ammount of depth and constant new secrets to discover.
Anime and Manga. In recent times my interest in them has waned but I still watch the occasional series here and there. Like Cyberpunk Edgerunners (Which I found to be rather mediocre) and the very good first season from the new arc of Bleach. Some of my favourite series include: Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, Death Note, Fate;Zero, Psycho Pass, Code Geass and Attack on Titan. I wouldn't mind if you were to introduce me to some new series, maybe based on the ones I mentioned. My favourite Manga is Berserk which I still follow, althought I am still not certain on the direction that the new author is taking. I suppose it really is a matter of contention whether a somewhat (or considerably warped) vision is better than an unfinished work. One could argue that a few novels remain unfinished and possess a macabre appeal to them as such.
Music. Classical music has a very special place in my heart. A few of my favourite pieces would be: Clair de Lune, Nocturne Op. 9 No.2, Devil's Trill Sonata, Danse Macabre, Valse Sentimentale, Symphony No. 7 in A Major, Op. 92: II. Alegreto (by Beethoven) and Suite from Swan Lake, Op. 20a: I. Scene. Moderato. There are more but these ones always invoke something in me when I listen to them. Besides Classical I also enjoy listening to Synthwave, old Western pop and J-pop, both modern and from the 20th century.
Esotericism. I am interested in things spiritual, mystical, magical and esoteric. I have read religios texts, magical grimoires, introductions to various schools of thought. It is interesting to me.
Epilogue
Hopefully I was able to cast the spotlight upon my inner World in a clear and unequivocal manner. I feel the need to add to the aforementioned that I am rather introverted, which means that I tend to dislike large social gatherings. I managed to condition myself to be able to endure the presense of large groups of people but it isn't something that I would seek out in most cases. Besides that I am neurodivergent and suffer from certain issues with mental health. I have to take medication to keep myself under control. They work well enough but certain days are harder than others. I respect the struggle that others have with mental health but in the context of a relationship I have my limits, no one with BDP for instance. I am also not looking for anything casual. I understand than one cannot demand depth and meaning from a conversation with an absolute stranger, that is akin to trying to build a sand castle right before the waves strike but I ask at least that you enter with a mindset that this might become something of significance. I also do want to say that I am completely Monogamous. My preference? The sickly, pale, intellectual who watches rain droplets slide down the window in Autumn. Lastly, if I enjoy the company of a person I tend to not want to let them go.
Thank you for taking the time to read my post and have a good day. I ask that you send a DM instead of a chat and that you give the English translation of my title as your own.
Goodbye...Or perhaps untill we meet again

Hey all, I'm an Italian guy looking for some advice. I basically got to 23 without having a social life. While I did have a very good friend from about 11-16 we fell apart and I've been completely alone ever since. I've only had gaming buddies and friends online, but I nearly completely missed out on having a social life. I changed schools a bunch of times, even dropped out and eventually went back. Never been anywhere, never did anything with friends, never had real relationships.
I'll be leaving for the military soon so I'm hoping that the situation will change, and I know that I should be looking ahead because the past is the past and it's already gone. At the same time I can't stop feeling crushed every day by feeling like I missed out on the most important things during one of the most important parts of life. I constantly have this feeling that I'm so late compared to everyone else, and I didn't accomplish anything. And again, rationally I know that comparison is bad, but I can't shake it off. I look at people and wonder how many more things they did than me, how many relationships they had while I did nothing. It's a feeling that follows me everywhere every single day, no matter what I do.
I guess I'm afraid that regardless of what I accomplish now in life, the feeling of having "missed out" will follow me forever.
If you've had a similar experience, how did you deal with it? Is it possible to get over it? Thank you! :)

Hi guys! I need some advice. So I will change some personal information because he might seen this post and he might hurt me. So here's the story:
My bf and I met at valorant 4 years ago. We're both 26 both have job. We met when we're both bronze and we're both Immortal now. Before when our relationship was still fresh, we love playing together. Win or lose, doesn't matter at all as long as we're having fun. And now we're both immortal, we still duo. I admit I don't have a good aim but I play good, i even carry him sometimes. So the thing is were on our 4 years now and my bf always get mad at me everytime we lose round. He always blame me even I'm top fragging. And lately he told me to stop being try harder. And he's hurting me physically. After hearing that words, I started to lose my passion on playing games. Btw I'm gamer since I was young. All this time I only play for fun, i play it seriously but I don't mind If i lose because it's part of the game but this man never accept that. Even our other team is the reason why we lose, he always blame me. So it's been a week since I stopped playing and earlier he asked me if we can play and I said I'm not in the mood to play anymore.
Btw, I already talk to him about this before and he said he will change, but it's getting worse now. What should I do?

i don’t usually post on reddit but here we go because i have no where else to put this rant that’s been in my head since HMHAS came out lmao
the SECOND i heard birds of a feather, i was like “oh the tiktok girlies are going to be CONFUSED about this one” and i think i was right
on social media i have seen the chorus being used to show how in love someone is with their partnefriend/dog/etc. which is all cute and i know it’s not this deep but THEYRE USING THE SONG WRONG?
let’s recap: she uses a theramin (notoriously foreboding instrument) and plays the backing instrumentation a quarter tone below the actual melody to make the whole thing feel Slightly Wrong™️ and we’re supposed to believe this relationship is healthy and good?
quote the song:
“i want you to stay… til i’m in the casket YOU carry”, he bears responsibility for her BEING in the casket.
“and if i’m turning blue please don’t save me, nothing left to lose without my baby”, the all-or-nothing thinking gives me throwbacks to college dear god
“say you wanna quit, don’t be stupid” yikes
this song is a haunting and beautiful and sounds like it could be sung by queen miss gabriella montez, but it’s also FOREBODING AS SHIT and i don’t understand why people are comparing their beautiful and loving relationships to it!!

SO LIKE- I MADE THE WORST HEADCANONS EVER THE OTHER DAY- SO HERE'S A FEW FOR THE OLD CHROMATICS
Gale - He actually has a bit of a playful side, and he's nice to anyone who's nice to him. (If) he has time off, he'll sometimes help Lou with his snow cone business, usually simply by suggesting better locations to sell them at than Mystic Mountain.
Surge - He and Brock are really close friends. He's one of the reasons that Brock even gets out (Ofc not excluding 8-Bit and Rico). He's 100% more of a show-off than an actual hero. Also, his favorite games are DDR's.
Colette - She and Edgar are cousins, so she always pesters him by either ranting about HER headcanons, fanfics, and who she's currently obsessed with. She also often tries to pressure R-T into telling her juicy secrets about the Brawlers.
Lou - He's actually friends with Surge, and they've been trying to perfect an energy drink-flavored snow cone for quite some time. Lou's also completely oblivious to why his snow cones aren't selling.
Colonel Ruffs - While he may seem tough, he has a soft side. He loves being pet and playing fetch, but would do anything to not admit it. He also feels a bit like a father to Squeak, and doesn't seem to notice Eve's feelings for him.
Belle - She's one of the smartest Brawlers in the entire park. She's not actually a villain, and she only steals as a vain attempt to run the park broke. The only thing she and her gang's been able to do is annoy them.
Buzz - He absolutely loves being in control of any and every situation he's in. When under pressure, he's actually a decent leader. He took his job as a lifeguard for 2 reasons: The authority, and so that he could sit in the tall lifeguard chairs to make up for his height.
Ash - (Oh boy, one of my favorites. Now which one do I choose...) Ash created the R. A. T. S. Bots himself, and he somewhat treats them as if they were his kids. He hates Kit for multiple reasons. While in battle he can get pretty upset, most of the time he's actually mundane.
Fun Fact: It's canon that Ash wants to be an actor, (In the Spanish version of Brawl Stars, it says it in his bio. See for yourself)
Lola - She hates Mico with every fiber of her existence. She only deals with Gray since he doesn't talk, but still gets upset when he "gets in the way". Her favorite thing to do is to see how dramatic she can make a situation.
Fang - He's usually the one dragging Buster into most of their chaotic situations. He surprisingly gets along well with Lola. He's also really into sports, especially baseball and football. Soccer is a close third.
Eve - At first, when joining the Starr Force, she simply wanted to be with Ruffs to support her kids. Over time she realized she had more complex feelings. She has mixed feelings about the Botany trio.
Janet - Friends at the beginning, her relationship with Melodie quickly shifted into a rivalry when she started to take a more "aggressive" approach when it came to their music. A lot of the time Janet's responsible for Bonnie, which can easily get out-of-hand.
Otis - He likes messing with Hank, but never takes it too far, since he's actually a bit scared of him. His favorite places to graffiti consist of the surrounding area of the Stunt Arena (What I like to call the Stunt Show area), within the Velocirapids water park, and even on the Fantasy Castle walls.
Sam - He used to love robots, and was decent a making them, until the incident that left Belle with only one arm. He claims he hates them, but he actually still likes them, he just doesn't put as much trust into them anymore.
Buster - While he's slightly more cautious than Fang, he still gets into a lot of trouble with him. He only wears sunglasses to try to look cool and menacing, which actually surprisingly works with some people.
Mandy - Chester's her adopted brother. She likes having him around sometimes so she can let her anger run loose a bit on him when no one else is there. She hates to admit it, but she's a bit impressed of how high Chester's social status is.
R-T - (OH GOD- We got to my other favorite. Uhm-) He's fluent in sign language. Despite literally his entire existence being to answer and interact with the visitors, he's a bit introverted. He's also pretty jumpy, but can be menacing when he wants. He's somewhat like a little brother to the twins, but also the leader. He actually has a bit of a chaotic side to him, but his programming blocks most of it out.
Not-So Fun Fact: His two halves are sentient, the upper half being more stick-to-the-program, while the lower half is more of the heart, creating relationships with the other Brawlers. When he's all together, he has internal conflict. :(
Maisie - She loves the thrill of danger, which is why she's dealt with Fang and Buster for so long. She also loves watching horror films, and practically any other movie or show that's high in adrenaline.
Cordelius - He may be hostile to strangers, but he's also really protective of his friends. His closest friend is Lily, who when he met, despite his usual hostile demeanor, took her right in with almost no questions asked.
Pearl - Sam had actually built her a long time ago as a gift for Belle before the incident. When he re-discovered her, he decided to give her a chance. She quickly became like a daughter to them.
Charlie - She's actually Gus's older sister (He was born AFTER their family moved from France). While he was into ghosts, she always loved spiders. She owns 2 pet tarantulas, named Flux and Tango.
THIS TOOK ME AN HOUR WHAT- MOST OF THESE I HAD TO COME UP WITH ON THE SPOT SINCE THIS WAS SUPPOSE TO BE IN PARTS- WHOOPS

Withers’s after party during the epilogue.
Backstory: I was trying to romance Wyll during the game and he dumped me because he wanted to be the duke instead. So… I killed him and threw him in a river outside the house of grief during act 3 cause it was a rude dude move.
At the end of act 3 he spontaneously appeared in his tightie whities. Rose from the dead. Anyways.
He was at the after party obviously, living his duke dreams. I talked to him and he didn’t say one single thing about our relationship. All he talked about was his dukely duties. He didn’t even ask what I’ve been up to. Another rude dude move. So… I killed him. Fuck that guy.
Well… that pissed Withers off. He waltzed up to me and said “you’ve travelled with these hoes through hardship, yet that still didn’t stop you from killing one of them. Im tired of your shit bitch” and sent me through a green portal. I was banished. Did he send me to hell? I don’t know. The credits rolled right after.
I felt shame. Withers made me feel shame. I didn’t even do an evil play through, I was just a lowly lockadin that got her heart crushed by a rude dude with horns. Sorry Withers. But I’m not sorry about you, Wyll.

Hi there, I'm Lore, a 19yo male from Italy, monogamous and currently single, looking for a partner.
I'm primarily seeking an online connection for now (at first) but I want to transition to an in-person relationship/meet ups if the right person comes along. I value loyalty, honesty, and having a genuine interest in building a strong and long term thing. Trust, mutual respect, communication, maturity are all very important to me.
I'm happy to verify, trade pics/vids, voice messages and do calls once we vibe and feel comfortable with each other.
I’m an healthy hopeless romantic and caring person, confident and adventurous, a mix of passion, support, and the right amount of fun!
Physically I'm athletic/slim, I’m about 170 cm with brown eyes and brown hair.
I have a wide and colorful range of interests, starting from being a competitive table tennis player to spending time with loved ones relaxing together, and self care. I also love to read books, study, exercise, cook, enjoy art, play games (video, tabletop, trivia), watch films/series (recently I saw Inception and Euphoria) and music (I’m an huge addicted, you’ve been warned!), I love nature hikes and outside activities. I have a weakness for animals!
Currently in my final year of school, with plans to attend medicine university and pursue a career as a doctor but I’m also thinking about psychology, I love to help and take care of people! I’m goal-oriented and passionate about what I do. Sometimes I can have a bit busy schedule but I’m ready and willing to dedicate my time knowing each other creating something special. :)
The person that I’m looking for is someone who shares my values and mentality, my hearth needs someone with whom I can develop a deep emotional and intellectual connection! Distance (would be better in Europe but it’s not a strict requirement), age (it’s just a number c’mon) and physical appearance are not barriers for me, personality is key! I'm seeking someone special to spend with time with, growing and experiencing new things together.
If this sounds like what you’re looking for feel free to reach out with a message telling me something about you! No Hi/Hey messages please, I have put effort in this, making a similar effort in your response would be appreciated.
I understand reaching out can feel intimidating, but please know your message is always welcomed and valued. <3

I’ve had finch for a few months now and honestly when i first got it i was a little embarrassed to even say i downloaded it. (I’m working through a lot of mental stuff okay? lol. Hopefully soon I’ll be seeing a mental health specialist 🤣)
I’ve told a few of my close people about it though because you guys this app has been so helpful! One time i was besting myself up over my dentist being closed when they shouldn’t have been so i went to the app to try to feel better. I ended up BAWLING MY EYES OUT but it was in a good way if ya know what i mean 🥹 i needed to let that cry out and the app really made me think about why i was even so upset in the first place.
I sent my fiancé an invite and asked him to download the app so i could get rainbow stones and other goodies. Told him he didn’t have to actually use it, i just wanted the free stuff. Well guess what yall? I created a finchy monster!! Again in a good way 🤣 he is so into it and i think it’s gonna help him a lot too. It’s also so fun seeing him be so into it and being able to talk to him about it. He gets super excited about all the little things the app has to offer and it might actually be the cutest thing ever 🥹🥰 i think it could even help our relationship become even more wonderful than it already is.
Anyways yeah, i just wanted to talk about how much i freaking love this app. Shout out to the people behind it because i feel like it’s almost a lil video game that is actually productive and i don’t have to feel guilty for being so into it!! Keep finchin yall!

You hang here, I’ll go on ahead!
Hi everyone! Hope you’re all doing well!
About me:
A slim, somewhat feminine, 21 year old guy from the east of England, standing at 5 foot 8 inches, who works full time and is studying for a masters degree alongside working (please send help). Relatively short light brown hair, white skin, greenish eyes and like dressing in smart clothes.
I am a homebody, through and through, spending cosy time indoors is what makes me tick and is how I spend a lot of my time. Whether that be digging into a long gaming session, relaxing with a good book, cooking up a storm (or maybe a tornado depending on the aftermath I leave behind) in the kitchen, watching a good film or tv show, or enjoying a nap, my home is my happy place.
That being said, I enjoy spending time in nature as much as the next person, and love going out for walks, exploring new restaurants or taking long drives.
I’m not a very social person, finding socialising in large groups rather stressful, however I do enjoy spending time with others, often one on one works best for me. I also have a short social battery, so need alone time as well. In my mission to find my person, I also hope to find someone with whom I can spend limitless amounts of time, someone who simply feels like home.
I’m a hopeless romantic too, and believe in finding “the one” someday, which, I suppose, is why I’m here! I adore affection in all forms, and all the various love languages hold some standing with me, though physical affection would likely be top dog if I’m honest.
My overall demeanour is sweet, well meaning, soft and often a little excitable (which can ramp up in lots of situations). I’ve been likened to a puppy by friends before.
As a partner:
As a partner I am someone who delights in caring for my person, being there to help them with the little things which make things just that tiny bit easier - Making them food after a long day, listening to them when they need to vent, treating them when they need it (and sometimes when they don’t 😅). A big part of a relationship for me is spending quality time together, whether that be doing something together, for example watching tv or cooking a recipe, or spending time together whilst doing our own thing. I want to be able to be with my person and be entirely comfortable and content in their presence. I’m also very affectionate as mentioned above, and will want to give you cuddles at just about every minute of the day 😅
I’m a good listener, and love to learn about other people and ask questions to dig deeper into the way they feel about things etc. I also value this greatly in another person.
Other facts/points of interest:
I prefer to converse over text initially, and tend to write rather a lot when I like somebody (and when the effort is reciprocated), then move onto other mediums down the line.
I am open to sharing pictures of myself right off the bat (as long as you do the same).
I believe that I have autism, and so somebody who understands this and appreciates that some things are difficult for me would be ideal.
About you:
Some traits I value in a partner are as follows, now, this is by no means an exhaustive list, nor is it a list of requirements, just some things that I adore in others, as well as things that I try to cultivate in myself:
Good listener, good communicator, interested in me, affectionate/caring, well mannered (not impolite), articulate, kind, humble/down to earth.
Otherwise, please just be respectful and put some effort in if you message me.
As a final note, have some conversation starters for if you decide to message me:
What’s the best advice you’ve ever received?
Where is your happy place?
What’s something about you that you think is somewhat embarrassing but really cute?
What, if anything, did you connect with in my post?
Take care, I hope to hear from you!
And last of all, I’m also open to making friends if you’d prefer that :)

I have been a long time SOTC fan and I’ve played Ico more recently and loved it to bits, and I’m only just now getting to The Last Guardian, mainly because I was taking what I heard others say about the game at face value and assuming it wasn’t a good game. But now that I’m playing it and I’m almost done with the game (I think I am at least, I’m right outside the main tower Trico has been yelling at throughout the game), I actually think this game is amazing. I think the puzzles have been really fun, traversing the world with Trico is breathtaking, and just interacting with Trico in general has been a treat! There’s only been like two or three moments in the game where Trico didn’t really know what I wanted them to do, so I got stuck for a few minutes. But other than that, it’s just been a fantastic and beautiful journey and I regret not playing this game sooner.
I think a lot of the hate people give this game come from the fact that they don’t have as much patience and likely because they just kinda wanted another game that made them feel the same things that SOTC made them feel. Which I can understand to a degree, but I still find The Last Guardian to be a phenomenal game. Ueda’s games do an excellent job at building the player’s relationship with an AI companion, and I think TLG is the ultimate culmination of that idea having Trico almost be the main character in their own right. I have a genuine attachment to this fictional creature and that is just magical.

I'm DMing a homebrew game now, one of my players created a gay character (he is gay irl), I have no problems with, but... when discussing a character he explicitly said, that he hopes his husband will be a major npc for his arc, and he hopes for shows of affections (not sex per se, but still). Problem is that I have problems with roleplaying something different from my sex/orientation, it took me a long time to feel a bit less uncomfortable when roleplaying women, compared to when I started. I feel very uncomfortable roleplaying even cis straight relationship, but same sex one is making me anxious.
I don't know what to do, I don't want to dissapoint my player in the first instance of him playing a gay character (he played women/cis straight men before), but I can't bring myself to roleplay relationship between two man.
Edit: added "straight" where it was needed.
Edit 2: Thanks for the advices and kind words. I will talk to the players about how I feel and maybe update this with the result.

I used to play a lot of different games, but currently I haven't played much because its kinda boring playing alone.
My old friend group usually have a few main games that we grind, and some co-op games for variety, the main game changes from time to time. The last main game that I played was apex & sea of thieves and some cs from time to time (to get the weekly drops :b).
A lil bit about me, I'm a bit shy, I love working out at the gym, and I watch a lil bit of anime.
And I'm looking for someone or a group that actually puts effort in the relationship cuz I'm tired of asking people to play every single time and not getting an invite back, or even ghosted, shits depressing.
Thanks for reading, hmu if u wanna play something.

Do you think this is accurate?
"Me: Is it common for relatives to be manipulative?
ChatGPT: While manipulative behavior is not uncommon in family settings, it is not universal and varies greatly among different families and individuals. Recognizing the signs of manipulation and taking steps to address it can help maintain healthier and more supportive family relationships.
If you have specific concerns or scenarios regarding manipulation in family relationships, feel free to share for more tailored advice.
Me: I'm gonna be a bit more specific
ChatGPT: Of course, please go ahead and provide more specific details or scenarios. The more information you provide, the better I can tailor my advice to your situation.
Me: If a cousin who barely meet or contact you say that family members are supposed to be honest with each other, yet he keep passive aggressively mocking the person and indirectly humiliate/badmouthing the person, and the person has a gut feeling that he is untrustworthy and unreliable, should the person trust his gut instinct?
ChatGPT: Given the described behavior and your gut feeling, it’s reasonable to be cautious and trust your instincts about this cousin. Passive-aggressive behavior and indirect mockery are not signs of a trustworthy or respectful person. Setting boundaries and limiting your interactions can help protect your well-being.
Me: This cousin also keeps comparing the person with others, saying the other cousins are very perfect, outstanding etc
ChatGPT: Your cousin's behavior of comparing you unfavorably to others and passive-aggressively mocking you is manipulative and harmful. Trusting your gut instinct about their untrustworthiness is prudent. Setting boundaries, seeking support, and focusing on your own well-being are essential steps in handling this situation. Remember, you deserve to be treated with respect and dignity, especially by family members.
Me: Now I'm gonna try to quote exactly what he said to you, and you will analyze his words
ChatGPT: Sure, please provide the exact quote from your cousin, and I'll analyze his words for you.
Me: He said in Vietnamese: "Thằng Huy(his son) nó cao to là vì nó ăn uống đầy đủ, ăn nhiều trứng và sữa". Note, that I have issues with my digestive system and is quite skinny
ChatGPT: Your cousin's comment appears to be a subtle way of comparing you to his son, which can be hurtful given your health challenges. It's important to acknowledge your feelings and consider setting boundaries or addressing the issue directly to foster a more supportive and understanding family environment.
Me: That's just one. Then he said "Thằng Đức bây giờ nó là đứa toàn diện nhất nhà, cả về thể chất, trí tuệ lẫn ngoại hình. Nó trước đây cũng mải chơi, xong rồi nó biết cách áp dụng những cái trong trò chơi điện tử vào đời thực và bây giờ nó được như thế". I can see as daylight that he was comparing Đức to me.
ChatGPT: Your cousin's comparison of Đức to you appears to be another instance of undermining your self-esteem and sense of worth within the family. It's important to recognize your own value and address such comparisons assertively to maintain healthy relationships and self-esteem."....

I think it was quite apparent. I just wanted to ask to be sure.

Hi, I’ve been ‘27 F’ with my boyfriend ‘37M’ for about 15 months. He’s a doctor, and I’m a nursing student.
He has two biological children and one stepson from his previous relationship
As I said earlier, I just finished my 3rd semester of nursing school while staying with him because he’s close to my school, work, and the hospital where I do my clinical rotations.
I used to think he was the love of my life. God put us together for a reason just because of the way we met and the timing and everything (I thought)
We have the same values and similar views on almost everything. However, we’re also very different, which keeps us on our toes.
THE ISSUE AT HAND: It was a good day. I worked out and did my nails, and I felt pretty good. He picked up the kids on his way home from work. We all decided to watch DUNE. I want to point out that he’s been drinking. We were all excited!! I went to the kitchen to get something to eat because I was starving.
We started watching the movie, and he was talking the whole time. His daughter and I told him not to speak because we couldn’t listen. He was “explaining the movie to us,” according to him. He kept talking, and his daughter said, “Shut up.” He was annoying, but at the same time, she was pretty rude to him.
So, I Left and went to the bedroom because it was too much. A couple of hours later, he came into the room after his daughter got picked up and asked me why I left. As I was talking, he walked away (HOW FUCKING RUDE).
His 4-year-old was still up at 11 pm with his iPad in his room, and his stepson was playing video games on the computer.
I followed him into the living room to explain why I was upset and how disrespectful he was. He (drunk AF) got up and said, “I don’t want a random girl to be screaming at me in front of MY KIDS.” We started going at it.
I heard: get the fuck out of my house. He said that to me once and PROMISED he’d never do it again!! BUT HE DID!!
I couldn’t believe what I heard. A man who calls his girlfriend a “random girl” and tells her to get tf out of his house in front of his kids isn’t a man; he’s a boy
If he’s disrespecting me in front of his kids, he’s creating a way for them to do the same.
To make it worse, we were both yelling in the bedroom when his 4-year-old son told me to shut up, and his dad praised him. I was speechless
I got my suitcase and was sobbing on the porch for 30-45 minutes, and he walked inside and locked the door, knowing damn well I had things in the house. I called him, but he hung up on me multiple times. I banged on the door for another 20 minutes, but he never opened it once. I left without My things.
He tried to undermine my perspective/feelings like he was God or psychic.
I felt like he used his kids against me and disrespected me in front of them. Is this how you treat the person you “love”? He made me feel unwanted, unworthy, and unappreciated. I WILL NEVER FORGET THAT!
The question is, did he cross the line?

I have had periodic depression since my early twenties, I’m 39 now. It usually starts in the autumn and lasts until late spring. But sometimes longer. I used to not notice it when I was younger I just connected it to external factors of life. But now I’m much more self aware of the problem and try not to blame outside factors like work, relationships etc because I know it’s a false path. I tried that before. Changing jobs, changing relationships, moving cities, it does not make a difference - this dark cloud follows me everywhere.
My symptoms are: * negative thinking - and over focus on negatives around me. Like noisy neighbors, politics, increasing prices of things, my job etc etc - I become like a grumpy grandfather.

• stress and laziness at the same time - I feel like there’s too much pressure on me to do “stuff” that I don’t even know what it is, and at the same time I’m too lazy to do anything and have to force my self to do things around the house for example.
  
• feeling of hopelessness and wanting to quit everything. My ambitions fade. Stop caring about my career, my fitness, my visual appearance, my hobbies, friends and events - and just generally become a slob.
  
• escapist thinking - I start to dream about moving to a different country, selling the house, going on a long trip, changing jobs, etc And I motivate that by explaining to my self and others how awful it is where I’m at right now.
  

My coping patterns have been the following:

• withdrawing to get time alone as much as possible
  
• trying not to verbalize my negative thoughts because I have learned that it’s not socially acceptable to be native so much. I have often got the comment “ don’t be so negative “ and it’s a big trigger for me that makes me angry and withdrawn.
  
• trying to focus on my self like going to gym, watching movies I love, playing video games.
  
• temporarily down prioritize stuff that is “hard” - like chores around the house, working less hard at work, skipping some social events when I don’t feel like it etc.
  

Now to my problem: I can’t use those coping mechanisms any more. I now have a wife and child and a house. They need me. My son needs me. I can’t just escape in to my computer for hours of the day or go to gym. He’s just below 1 year old and he needs somebody to watch him all the time. I love the little guy. But in combination with my depression I find my self in a negative spiral.
I feel like I’m doing everything against the stream - I have to force everything I do through out the day. Playing, cleaning , cooking. Doing projects around the house that need doing. I find my self complaining a lot, and my wife is fed up with it already. And I can understand her. Im constant grumpy and tired. By the end of the day I have used up all my willpower to do anything to the point where I don’t even want to brush my teeth before going to bed. I have 0 action energy left. I have not even changed my clothes in like 4 days.
On top of that there are social events that were not there before. Meeting with daycare parents, my wife’s friends that also just got kids etc. I really dread those but I force my self to pull through. And some times my grumpy mood shines through and I make everybody feel bad.
I guess I’m kind of involuntary project my mood on others and make them feel the same way. But I feel bad about it at the same time.
I don’t know what to do now. There’s no where for me to escape and hide with my dark cloud now and recharge my energy. I have to be there everyday. I’m worried that this new life that is more demanding than before will ruin my marriage and break apart my family.
My wife has been very understanding and suggested I should take a day here and there for my self. And I have. But it seems to not be enough. I feel guilt for taking that day off and leaving everything at home to my wife. And then when I come back the energy I have regained is gone very fast. It’s not sustainable.
In a few months I have to go back to work and I’m not sure I will be able to. I’m worried about getting fired or burned out. I have nightmares about my marriage ending and can’t sleep properly because the little guy wakes up multiple times at night. I feel like they would be happier without me to be honest, at least this version of me that I hate my self. I don’t want to be like this, but I am anyway.
I don’t know where I should start now. I thought I had it figured out living with my depression but now I feel hopeless and I have not answers for my self.
