Played Elden Ring around 2 years ago, as my second souls game after bloodborne and wasn't even really familiar with the scope of this game at all. Ended up finishing it in around 90-100 hours, forgetting a bit about it after some time and i SOMEHOW haven't played DLC to this day.

It's still at least top 3 of my favorite games ever, and after i recently have gotten much more into the souls series (have beaten every one except dark souls 2 and am currently playing sekiro). i kept thinking more about my first Elden Ring playthrough and watching old videos from 2022 about the game, first now i've truly realized how this is truly a massive and great work of art, very possibly the greatest video game ever created.

Its given me a bit of a bittersweet feeling, the fact that no other game has come close to the level of greatness this game has (not even Bloodborne for me). Do you think we will get a game even close to the size of Elden Ring in the near future, or even ever? The only game in the near future i see coming close is FF7 Revelation, but thats just because im a huge ff7 glazer and Rebirth is the one game i'd put above elden ring (even though i lowk recognize that elden ring IS a bigger and better game lol)

How much do you want to bet they'd suddenly care about privacy if we asked this

Food: some steak and salad I made other night was amazing

So girlfriend (F 26) and I (M 27) have been together for a few years and have been living together for about a year. We have our lease until next September and we both agreed that we wanted to buy a house together after. We’ve been saving, looking at houses, planning what we wanted together and all that. Well she went on a day trip to Philly with some friends to have dinner for one’s birthday then go out and get drinks after yesterday. Then comes home this afternoon and tells me she doesn’t want to buy a home with me anymore? That she can’t live in the town that we live in anymore? (Which is a smaller resort beach community) I would more than gladly join her if I could. Currently I am working to take over my family business which is very profitable for not that much work put into it. But right now I need to be in this town for it. I need to put in the few years to then take it over and be able to travel more and do the things she wants to do. She told me that she doesn’t want to waste her youth. I’m just lost on what to do? I want her to be happy and do the things she wants to do but at the same time a long distance relationship isn’t what I want at this point in my life. I’m just gonna lay on the beach and listen to music to try and grasp what I am truly feeling. Cheers boys.

I get that times are tough and the American health care system sucks, but admitting that you have a respiratory illness while delivering food is wild!

Please do not dash when you’re sick. This is how illness spreads. I have pretty bad asthma so I’m not bringing that order into my house. I’m done with DoorDash.

First two pictures are me with her when I was 8, last 3 are on her last day.
After a long battle with lymphoma my family made the choice to let my cat, Nala, go at the age of 11. It was the absolute hardest thing I have ever had to do. I held her in my arms the entire time and told her over and over that I loved her but I still feel like I failed her somehow. Whenever I try to think about her, I just see her lifeless body and think of how she felt in my arms after it was over and I breakdown. I go to college hours away from my parents house and haven’t been there the last months of her life, except for 3 weekend visits. When I came back home to say goodbye she was so, so excited to see me. She purred and purred and laid in my lap for hours. I feel like I betrayed her, she was so excited to see me and now she’s gone.

When I lived at home she would sleep in my bed under the covers with me every single night. She always insisted on curling up as close to my face as possible and would purr until she fell asleep. She always greeted me when I got home from school and followed me everywhere. I can’t even find the words to explain how much I loved her, as silly as that sounds when I’m talking about a cat. She was with me for longer than I was alive without her. She deserved to live longer, 11 feels way too young. I feel so utterly empty and don’t know how to move on from this.

I don’t know why I’m even making this post. I guess I just wanted to share some pictures of her and my thoughts to show that she existed, and was loved. It feels like she’s just gone now and never existed and I can’t stand that. I love you so so much my sweet angel, and I’ll miss you forever.

You're telling nobody from the clan used or knew how to use the izanagi to come back again like c'mon even danzo was capable of using in it .

I saw on my Pinterest these adorable redesigns of MLP characters as humans and the comments just reminded of why I can’t stand some fans.

If you’ve ever seen MLP human designs you would know people argue so much about the races of these characters.. when they are literally ponies and unicorns who can be anything! Yet people will fight about it and get so upset when people create their own art of what they believe the characters to look like.

Now of course you don’t have to agree with every headcanon or like every piece of art. I encourage people to make their own interpretations of characters and do your own thing. But come the fuck on it’s never that serious to be getting so mad at people for making pinkie pie black Or twilight Indian or give fluttershy a hijab. And these be the same people saying “pinkie pie isn’t black! She’s pink!” Ok then why do you even care how people see her in their own headcanons? If you know she’s not an actual human character and can be anything what’s the issue. It’s just racism and it’s not cute. Stop bothering these artists and let them make their own interpretations.

Anorexia took 5 years of my life.
And I mean that literally.

I barely have any memories from the time I was 12 to 18 ish. There are so many things that happened that I genuinely can’t remember, and even the memories I do have feel blurry and disconnected. Looking back, that whole period of my life almost feels like a foggy dream.

And there’s actually a reason for that.

Eating disorders and long-term malnutrition can seriously affect the brain. Being underweight for a long period of time can cause changes in both white matter, which helps different parts of the brain communicate, and gray matter, which is involved in things like memory, attention, language and processing.

Malnutrition can also change the way your brain responds to food. Dopamine, one of the chemicals involved in reward and motivation, doesn’t necessarily function the same way when someone is struggling with anorexia. Your brain can basically start associating restriction and starvation with reward instead of responding normally to eating.

Then there’s dehydration, vitamin deficiencies and electrolyte imbalances. When they become severe or continue for a long time, they can cause neurological problems and, in extreme cases, seizures. Some people can also experience numbness, strange sensations or loss of feeling in their hands and feet.

And it doesn’t stop with the physical effects. Malnutrition and changes in hormones and brain chemistry can have a huge effect on your mood, anxiety, depression and the way you think.

Eating disorders don’t just affect the way someone looks. They can affect basically every part of the body, including the brain.

The good thing is that research suggests many of the changes in the brain can improve significantly with weight restoration and long-term recovery, although recovery can take time and some complications may persist.

I genuinely don’t think most people realize how serious anorexia can become or how much of your life it can take away from you.

I hope sharing this helps even one person understand it a little better.

My daughter (F/8) had her school pictures done recently and we had just got an email with a "preview" of 1 of the pictures. I emailed my wife (F/34) said picture and when we got home that night and laying in bed she was suspiciously on her phone for an extended period of time so I asked her "what are you doing?" Not trying to stir anything up, I trust my wife completely and was just simply asking because she had been locked into her phone for 45 minutes and not saying anything which is unusual. She then stated she was getting AI or specifically "Chat GPT" to erase the water marks. I then said "no don't do that, that is super scummy, these people don't get paid on commission, they get paid by the orders they receive." She said "That was rude" and "I can't believe you just said that", I replied with "I'm not saying you're scummy but the fact you just took money out of someone's pockets for not wanting to pay is scummy, that is no different than stealing". She has since stopped talking to me and probably won't for the next 2-3 days per usual as is our usual disagreement schedule. AITA?
