Honestly, I'm not sure if I have the proper communicability of consolation myself. I'm afraid I'd be too blunt and perhaps weird, maybe dramatic. On this website, I try to limit my statements in such situations to stuff like "my sympathies" which I know I can't mess up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I despise it. I despise feeling useless. I despise myself for basically abandoning someone close to me in need, just because I don't know what to say or do. And when I do say or do something, I always fear I'm just making it worse instead of better. You're worth keeping around, first and foremost, because you're a human being. You're valuable for that alone. But it's not just that. You're a kind-hearted, caring, good person. I don't have to know you personally to know that's the truth. That said, I'm sorry you're struggling, but I know the feeling. If you ever need to just vent or talk, I'm here, and like others have said, we're all here for you, man.

It seems the writers were afraid of backslash so they toned down the romantic interactions. Didn't work, the ending defenders are still strawmanning. At least they nailed Floch and Armin Even in fanfics Floch is right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's ok to feel inadequate, 'cause it is indeed a feeling; we can't change those, we can only change our actions. It low-key sucks, I agree, but it's one of those times where we've gotta keep tryin' to be kind, and that'll hopefully make us feel better looking back on it.

Have you seen the price of a good gaming laptop? -Then again, the shortage of supply likely means the latest consoles are scalped to astronomical levels, I haven't cared to look. Humans always hunger for more. Such bring forth both progress and our demise. That, and the things that you don't have, but theoretically could, but don't, have that "forbidden fruit/grass is always greener" allure.

With the Eternal Sanctum Key you can open a locked door right near the beginning of the Dragon Sanctum that eventually leads to it. Be warned, taking down the gank squad solo is a pain, when I did it, it was the longest boss fight in the franchise for me, as it was all about taking advantage of the terrain to isolate them for a few moments to hurt one (hopefully to stab the archer a few times before he switches to the estoc, or fire a few poison arrows into the Havel, etc.) before running away to try and isolate them again. If you want help against the Co-op section, we could try using the Name-Engraving ring to setup you summoning me for co-op support. 33 minutes ago, Benice said: He breaks weapons? Hitting him causes your weapons to reduce durability significantly more than hitting anything else, and it was bad enough that I had to menu mid fight to switch weapons to keep from breaking mine before he died...

I knew they'd go back to her, I mean, it was obvious, but... Not like that! Lunatic is... eh. It becomes a Robin solo, I find. The one time I actively avoided trying to do that it ended up becoming a Nowi sweep after Chapter 10. You essentially train up about 3 or 4 units to try to quickly make them super units. Pair up-less Hard Mode is legit fun though, and what I recommend to people (I personally play without reclassing). The two Walhart maps are pretty brutal, but I find the rest of the game manageable. (GAA2 Case 1 spoilers) Spoiler Brett being a victim shocked me. She had to die once one of the pictures revealled her eyes though. She had a mask for a reason! Eyes are too powerful.

It can be tough trying to figure out what to say to someone, more complicated than we give credit for. Me, I end up often asking a fair bit about the topic at hand, much as I don't think it necessarily helps. And it won't help if the person can be defensive about that line of questioning. Considering I can't tell what their issue is, I can't give any specific tips either. As to what to say or do, maybe there's not much more that can necessarily be done than by being there yourself. To not push on someone's boundaries, but to let them know you're there outside of them if need be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
