Apparently the history class goes into lore about these doors but I havent touched the school at all lol. >_>

Ah, that makes sense. Could've sworn I had enough to open the purple one and it was only half undone.

Kim_Seong-a posted...

So Ive found...I think all but one purple stake. There's only one chain left on the purple door and it's driving me crazy. >_>

What gets me is that they've all been clustered in the east and center portion of the south map. I havent found any stakes, iirc, in Area two (brown flat lands) or area 6 (psychic gym)

I have found like, 5 yellow stakes on accident trying to find the purple stakes on purpose.

I thought I had found a blue spike, but when I found the door it had all 4 chains on it. Leaving the area I found 3 blue spikes. So, hopefully soon I'll have that one done.

Pretty sure I've got 2-3 of the other colors too. Only located the green, blue, and purple doors though.

based Golduck appreciator

I don't really care much for Golduck. I was EV training, and I saw him waddle by in the background. Been waiting for my shiny luck to kick in for nearly a week.

Okay, so I guess it's my lucky day today.

Still like 1/524ish odds each unless you used a shiny sandwich

No sandwich, no shiny charm. Just the 60 ko's. Which I think is 1/1300 ish. I'm just surprised that my first one turned into my first 2 within an hour. lol

Why couldn't it have been Bombirdier yesterday?

Hey, 2 turkeys are better than one. Wish it was a new pokemon, but I really like Noivern anyway. So I'm ok. Also, it was an outbreak with 60 ko'd, so not as impressive as it may seem.

Wish I had been recording though, but my walls are paper thin and family is over.

Uh, so I went back to ev train my new shiny, and...

The smartest man alive is a cuck?

Maybe he likes fantastic foursomes.

I live with a mentally challenged 22 year old. So, I definitely wouldn't call it arguing, but I try to coach him into doing things right... Like tossing his garbage in the can literally next to him, only for him continue just dropping it in the floor when he's done.

He has also developed a really bad attitude the last few years, and thinks he knows better than anyone else. He's got the type of personality where he insults others to feel better about himself. Like when he plays Mario kart or smash with his 9 year old nephew. He utterly destroys the kid, to the point of making him cry. Then his only response is "you should get good, like me." So I took him to the side and told him to let the kid win. So, he did. He just didn't even attempt to play. Then after he was fussing at the kid "You only win because I LET YOU. I'm still better than you."

So, I'm constantly trying to reel him in with encouragement and kind reminders. To be met with him calling me stupid and him still doing whatever he wants anyway. A couple of times I've fussed at him pretty heavily for things he knows better, but it doesn't help anything.

Being me.

I was pretty meh on the Cat. That's the one I chose though. Thought the duck's looked dumb... But then Nemona sent out her fully evolved duck and it was dancing as my cat pranced toward it. It was just the right kind of ridiculous to make me chuckle. I could really see the performer aspect of them, and it felt like them trying to outperform each other.

Does she deserve to be stuck with me? Also, I got what I deserve. Nothing.

Be warned, at night the desert ones are a pain to check because they're chrome that reflects the brown floor and canyon walls near them... which looks similar to gold if you are just starting and haven't been staring at them for awhile already.

Ugh. I was doing Clawitzer before. They were always under the water and I couldn't tell at all. I assume the bright red would've been distinct, but idk.

Also was working on a Bombirdier outbreak when I posted. It's literally at the edge of a town, so if I find one I can do that clone trick. But it's such a pain to have to look at their beak/feet. Was hoping that engine one wouldn't be another that's hard to see. lol

I'm not even in the post game yet, so no sandwiches to help either.

I know the feeling. I've struggled with it my whole life too. It's been pretty rough for me lately too. I've just been dumping my life into video games to try and escape.

Kinda both.

Socially, I'm so far behind that it's not even funny. They had been married for about 14-5 years at my age. My brother was 12ish, and I was about 10. They both had friends and big family circles. Coworkers that they got along with and just all around had a lot of people in their lives.

Me, not so much. Nothing at all to show for myself. No friends. Not dating, never had any kind of significant other. I feel like such a loser being nearly 40 being in this situation. It bothers me a lot, and I'm sure it bothers them too.

On the other hand, despite working constantly they had no money. Dad blew all his the instant he got it. All of mom's went towards bills and food. Often had to let the power be cut so we could have food, or go hungry for a week till she got paid again.

On that note, once my brother and I grew up and got jobs we managed to get the household on it's feet and have all of us start saving money. We actually managed to get ahead of the bills and can actually afford some luxuries now. I haven't been employed for quite a while, but my savings and some other endeavors have paid enough to keep my finances on a slow decline instead of a nosedive. I believe I've currently got more money than either of my parents have ever had... Which isn't even a lot. It's a lot to us, but almost certainly not to some of you. :/

So yeah, I'm more financially secure than they were.

Holy shit I shiny hunted one for 2 hours in an outbreak yesterday and had no luck I'll trade you a shiny Honchkrow evolution for it if you want? ;-;

I've currently got an outbreak of those myself. Actually, several outbreaks I want to hunt for. I might give it a shot too.

Mmm, not quite... it basically means you need to be close with someone before you can start feeling that way. So a demisexual would be incapable of experiencing that attraction toward random people when they don't know each other at all, for instance.

Yeah, that's more along of what I meant. I never feel anything towards anyone unless we grow close. Then it tends to kick into overdrive, just not in a sexual way. More like an intense desire to just be with them.

I'm not sure. I've never actually been sexually attracted to anyone. I do still have a pretty high sex drive though, and I desire to be with someone that way. Maybe more along the line of being demisexual, that's the one where you're only attracted to people who show interest in you, right?

I've still never even been remotely successful, but the few times I mistook someone's friendliness as interest... My own interest skyrocketed and I became smitten.

So, I think I am a sexual person, but it'll take a particular situation to bring it out. Maybe.
I just know that I crave the emotional bond of of a relationship more than anything else. I do also want sex, but it feels like that would be a matter of course if I could find someone who liked me.

I have not. It's really disheartening. I haven't tried for a couple of years, and even then I only partly tried because I knew nothing would come of it.

I'm garbage.

Off the top of my head... A baby deer with it's leg stuck in a wire fence. A baby cow from the farm next door fell into the creek and washed into our property and couldn't get out. Somehow our did caught a Hawk, and we got it away from her, made sure it was ok, then put in back in a tree. Fostered several orphaned baby deer, and took in loads of stray/abandoned digs and cats if those count.

I don't like him either. That smug exchange he had with that guy outside the wall about being Odin's apprentice sealed it. I disliked him last game for becoming arrogant over being half god. I thought he matured out of that, but his constant push to be the champion and his smugness when someone thinks he's important just irritated me.

Man, if only I were a bold person. That sounds incredible.

Whoa, I just read the problems you posted. That is not ok for her to do. I'm sorry that you've had to cut so much from your life in order to try and make it work.

I know I'm not in a position to give advice, but at this point it sounds like it's for the best for you to leave. You can at least get some breathing room, and start rebuilding a life that you never should've had to leave behind. Best wishes for you and the kids.

You have no reason to be. From the pictures you've posted, and the personality that shines through your posts, you're absolutely a catch. As long as grieve the marriage, and give yourself time to recover, I'm 100% confident you'll bounce back higher than ever.

Very sorry to hear that. You always gave the impression of being well collected and happy. So this is surprising. I hope things go smoothly and you can still be happy anyway.

Is it that bad? I heard its glitchy but like Cyberpunk launch bad, enough to offer refunds?

It is really glitchy, and looks pretty bad at points. Like, the game literally has no polish outside of the Pokemon models. But it's pretty much all just visuals, and the actual game is really fun.

But it's like they got the game engine running and said "good enough".

Blue_Thunder posted...

Nah, we went over this before. You have only two issues: 1) your toxic upbringing and the resultant defeatist mindset that it has created and 2) the fact that you live in the middle of nowhere (AFAIK). If you moved to a better place and worked on building a more optimistic mindset women would be lining up to date you.

Well, yeah, but like he said, they won't know my history until I share it. Gamefaqs is my outlet, where I get to express how I really feel deep down without a ton of risk. I don't express those in my life in other areas. They really shouldn't be able to just sense a problem with me.

And sure, I live in a really small mountain town without many people around... But that doesn't stop anyone else. Aside from my 9 year old cousin, I'm the only person that I know that isn't married or a parent. They all managed. Everyone I see managed. I'm the only one who can't.

It would be interesting to hear his side of the story because the way you treat him isn't all rainbows and unicorns either. That's messed up.

I know there's always two dudes to every story. I always try to remain objective between two people, but in this case he has no defense. Me, mom, my brother, and my cousin can't all come to the same wrong conclusion.

He did work hard in his younger days, as a construction worker. I have to give him that. But when his paycheck is his, and he goes on trios with his friends leaving his wife and 2 young children with no food at home. Then beats us when he returns and ask if he can buy a loaf of bread, because we're not entitled to the money that he works for. But now that he's older and retired, all the money we earn is to be spent on him. While we wait hand and foot on his every whim so he doesn't have to lift a finger. He literally calls himself our king and thinks we are his servants. Not joking, he actually declared himself king and if he has to even get his own plate of food rather than having it carried to him(while insulting us while we do it), he throws a fit.

chrono625 posted...

Dad seems like he has major deep seeded psychological trauma himself.

I wouldn't say it's trauma. But mental illness does run in his family. He's absolutely an unrelenting narcissist, he has no empathy whatsoever and no one outside of him matters. His mother spoiled him, his brother's spoiled him. He's simply an over entitled spoiled manchild who thinks screaming and violence will get him what he wants.

Once when he was younger, he literally shot his brother for calling him spoiled. He would've killed him if his other brothers didn't step in and mess up his aim. Instead of shooting him in the back like he tried, he hit him in the leg.
Then there's the time he tried the same on me, but we got the gun away and tried beating/strangling me to death instead. The reason he tried killing me? Mom spent like 15 minutes with me in my room watching a movie. He thought she was choosing me over him, so I needed to die.

g0ldie posted...

idk, maybe he's also looking out for his mom/rest of family

This is half of it. I'd never forgive myself if I left her here and something happened to her.

The other half is because I'm just not strong/brave enough to leave. I'll say that I've been broken and have no will left... But really I'm just a weakling.

God, I want to be a father more than anything. I want it so much that it hurts.

But no, Its looking like 99.9% I won't ever have any.

We all got into a huge argument last night over the way he's been treating us. He sits here all day, every day insulting us and the rest of our family. Telling us we aren't earning our keep so he should get rid of us(he's the one who contributes nothing to household). Griping constantly, and I literally mean constant. It never ends. If he doesn't get exactly what he wants(like cookies, or dinner carried to him) he goes off. He wants 100% of our time and money devoted to him, and if it's not then he explodes on us.

Last night, mom's sister said some hurtful things to her. Which really upset her, so she complained about it. He told her that she needed to "shut the fuck up" That didn't go over very well, and she told him that he's the one that needs to shut up. The thing is, none of us are allowed to say anything or criticize him at all. So that immediately set him into rage mode. Cussing at her for making him miserable for an hour with her complaints.

So, she pointed out all the constant nonstop pathetic things he cries about all day long(wanting ice cream, us not giving him money to buy a fishing pole or gun). That we have to listen to him nonstop, but he can't handle an hour of her being upset over something that actually matters.

So, of course he's got nothing but insults for her and calling her useless and pathetic. That's when I joined in, pointing out that he's the one who spends all day long napping and stuffing his face with food that we buy. That's he's the only one who pays no bills here, contributes nothing to the household, and is constantly begging us for money and to buy him stuff. That got me a ton of insults slung at me. So I reminded him that we literally saved his life 2 times. Both times we had to drag his unconscious body out of the house and get him to the ER. Told him that he owes us his life two times over and needs to show some appreciation for us and what we do for him. But of course, "there's nothing to appreciate. You don't appreciate me enough." And "I don't owe you shit."

So after a volley of more insults thrown at me, I pointed out all the extremely illegal things he's done over the years, and all the immoral ones like constantly cheating and lying. That he should be rotting in prison, and would be dead in the ground without us. He's unable to do anything without one of us there to help him or do it for him, he's nothing without us.

At that point we'd all been yelling and screaming at each other for like 20 minutes. Things settled down. But then I heard him cussing at her in a much quieter tone, I guess trying to do it without me hearing(I was in another room). So, I yelled back at him that he needed to shut the fuck up, that I was sick of hearing him bitch at her like that. He tried it like 3 more times to quietly cuss her, but each time I confronted him over it. Then he eventually just went to bed without another word. I'm not putting with this any more.

I half expected to be executed in the middle of the night though. This man is legit narcissistic psychopath. At a couple of points he threw out "I'm not your real father." So I just countered with "That's the best news I could ever get." Like, why on earth would that bother me? It bothers me that I have an uncaring, unloving, abusive father. If he's just some ass hole that lives here, I have no problem hating him. He is my father though, there's no question about that. He just thinks that would somehow hurt me.

Anyway... TLDR:
Abusive ass hole father is acting like an abusive ass hole again. He can dish it out, but can't take it at all.

Why are you convinced that they wouldn't want you?

I'm nearly 40 years old. I've never been on a date. Kinda speaks for itself at this point.

NoxObscuras posted...

What about you is so undesirable that you think there's absolutely no one that would be interested?

I don't have the answer to that. You ever see a product that just doesn't sell? That's me. Asking the product why no one wants it won't get you any real info.

NoxObscuras posted...

And as far as women knowing what they want? You're giving people a lot of credit there. I know both men and women who are still figuring out what they want well into their 40's.

Honestly, I feel like people in general don't get enough credit. People are hardworking, and driven and aim for their goals. Look at all the things people have built and created. You're all amazing.

But yeah, I guess I misworded that. It should've been "they know what they like, and it's not me." I'm no one's type. I'm just a pathetic little man whose hope died out years ago.

NoxObscuras posted...

Women don't know anything about your dating history until you tell them. And it shouldn't really come up before a first date.

Do premier balls even do anything special?

Look nice. They're just regular poke balls, except white.

I'd say yes. Basically every episode boils down to:
- This group of people doesn't like us.
- We should think of a way to deal with that problem.
- Nevermind, let's do nothing instead.
- Bath time.

Rinse and repeat until the show literally decided to focus on a different show for a while. Then still pretty much have the main cast be useless anyway.

Oh, and the motorbike chase scene. > _>
I normally don't hold things like that against shows and movies... But dang, that was the dumbest thing I think I've ever seen in a TV show.

My one cousin died of a brain aneurysm. Iirc he was 34. Late one night he got a severe headache and went to the hospital. He waited in the ER for several hours(I think 4-5). Decided he needed some sleep before work and went home. When he woke up the next day, it was too late. He attempted to go about his morning routine. His younger brother woke up and realized that his brother hadn't left yet and heard the shower running. He called for him and got no answer. Checked the bathroom and found his body.

I had another cousin commit suicide. I think he was around 37. I don't know the details, but he had recently lost his mom. So, probably something to do with that.

He wasn't under 40, but a couple of years ago another cousin died at 44. His liver was destroyed by severe alcoholism. His doctor told him that he needed to stop drinking or he was going to die. So he managed to quit cold turkey... But it was just too late. They thought they caught it in time to save him, but it just put him on a more gradual decline. He fought for months to live, and in the end he had just suffered too much damage.

Ugh, I'm flashing back to my hotel job. That does happen a lot. Sometimes there will be groups that reserve huge chunks of rooms. Or a special event and all the rooms are booked, but everyone is at the event so it looks empty.

We'd sometimes have about 6-8 your buses book all of our rooms. Due to the size of the buses they had to use the rear parking lot. Resulting in no available rooms, and no one in the main parking lot.

As someone who was talking about having a decent performance earlier, I did get a small glitch. Miraidon was just continually falling despite the fact I was on the ground, and I had to get my position reset by the game. Wasnt a huge deal, but took me out of it.

I've had that happen several times. Thankfully the game realizes pretty quickly that you're stuck and fixes it.
