Words starting with slu 5 letters

I only started reading a little over 2 years ago and it's been one of the best things I've decided to pick up on a whim. I began my journey with A Game of Thrones, a decision that I would soon find to potentially be a mistake once I realized how complicated the series was. Perhaps not the most beginner friendly thing. But I was in love with the plot and the characters and the world, so over the course of a period of time I'm not comfortable sharing out of embarrassment, I eventually got through it.
Books 2 and 3 of the series went quicker and I found myself enjoying the books more and more, book 3 especially. I read all 3 of these books back to back so I decided to take a break from the series there to explore what other books had to offer. I read Project Hail Mary and Six of Crows, and both were a very fun experience.
When I returned to the series I noticed something though. I found it much more difficult to get through book 4 than any of the others, for reasons I was not able to place then. I thought I had just soiled my reading comprehension ability by reading two other easier books and now I couldn't read this. Still, I trudged through it.
I took another break there to read Crooked Kingdom and now I'm back to book 5, A Dance with Dragons. And it's been a nightmare. It's been months and I'm not even 300 pages in cause its so hard to find motivation to pick it up. I'm noticing specific things about the writing that I absolutely hate. Chapters take way too long to get to the point and sometimes there is no point. Like I just read a Davos chapter where LITERALLY nothing noteworthy happened. And I'm just sick of it man, I've honestly considered dropping the book but I'm so close to the conclusion (for now) of this series. I really don't know what to do, every reading session feels like wading through molasses. I can only read a chapter or 2 at a time and have to take frequent breaks to check my phone or to just sit and contemplate for a bit why I'm still even reading this.
I'm not necessarily looking for solutions or suggestions although you're certainly welcome to share any. I just wanted to vent about this and to see if other people have similar opinions. I've heard that books 4 and 5 are where the series fell off so maybe I'm not crazy. But there's always a voice in the back of my mind telling me that the only reason it's such a slog is because I'm not smart enough to handle all the little complexities of the book. Idk man

Don’t boink your coworker. I don’t know what to do forward.
I (23F) started a new job in January with a very good position with a lot of learning and was practicing it very well as well. In April I had a new subordinate join in (28F). No instant connection nothing but I did recognize that he was a cool guy, very different walk of life than I’m used to, giving me angry young man and bad boy energy. Now I am very comfortable with a FWB arrangement and that’s what I went into after a bit of flirting, what I didn’t account for is how spending 10 hours together would bring us weirdly closer. Somewhere along the line after a month, I felt attached and goofy and kinda into him. But I do know logically and practically I’m not doing shit about it. So just to test the waters I took him out for a doobie and movie last night. AND BRO, NO CHEMISTRY AT ALL. It was like being out w a friend. Barely 12 words spoken and awkward cuddling. It was torturous. Now I feel like I only find him attractive and lovey Inside the 4 walls of the office. Maybe the secret sneaking off and risk of getting caught is what made it hot. Suddenly now I don’t wanna go from love bombing to coworkers overnight and make shit weird but I have no idea what to do. The action is hot no doubt but this was stupid of me. Gonna see today how things go, already got another date lined up tonight.
TLDR: FWB w coworker but going out on a date with him was weird.

My fiance and I are buying a house with an acre of lightly wooded back yard. We don't have a patio or anything with solid ground outside and the neighbors are a normal middle class suburban distance from us, if that makes sense (some lawn between us but no one owns an estate). The yard is beautiful, fenced, and mostly flat. Beyond the back of the yard is a stretch of woods and an interstate, which is typically quiet unless some AH with a motorcycle goes by.
Ideally I would like to invite about 100 people but am doubting that many of those people would be able to show up (they would travel across the country, many with small children). I have been considering various venues but have started to wonder if it would be cheaper to host the wedding at my new house and just hire catering and a live band. I'm not sure if that would work and haven't figured out many details at this stage. Here are my questions:

1. How do you deal with not upsetting the neighbors with the noise? I thought maybe telling them ahead of time and inviting them to come to the reception would be nice, but it wouldn't really fix that I assume things would be loud until the party ends. The whole thing would be outdoors, after all. The inside will not be updated for some time and isn't really a good entertaining space in its current state. I have to budget for one thing at a time, here.
   
2. How much space do I need for that many people? I have no sense of that. For the reception, I thought about renting a dance floor, having an area for outdoor games, and tables (obviously). Do I even have enough room? I've heard that it might be best to use the front for the ceremony and the back for the reception but I'm not sure that would be so great since the front is just a small lawn and there would be a lot of cars along the street right there... There is a nice hazelnut tree on the edge to the side out front. Maybe diagonal toward the tree so we aren't all facing the road. Idk about that one...
   
3. How do you handle rain in a wooded yard? I would imagine tents would be an issue. I'm not sure how to do that. Am I just screwed?
   
4. Would catering use my kitchen? Is that a thing? I wouldn't mind and it might make things easier for drinks to be served from the kitchen but I don't know how that works. Do I need a separate space for food and bar people?
   
5. Is it silly to invite people to travel for a backyard wedding? I'd be self conscious about it.
   
6. I have 4 spare bedrooms but we don't have beds for them yet (we are upgrading and have to do these things slowly) so perhaps some of the wedding party can crash if we figure something out for furniture. Would I want them to? Tell me from experience please!
   
7. Will this really save us a lot given that we have to hire staff and catering and rent accommodations like chairs/tables/tents etc instead of having that all included in the wedding package? I was hoping this would free up money for a band/entertainment or maybe we'll pocket it and put it towards the home improvements.
   
8. Anything I haven't considered that I need to know?

Been together almost 4 years and live together. Our relationship is wonderful. The only thing I don’t give him is a love for anime and D&D. He’s been a DM since way before we met. I don’t like to play D&D because it’s incredibly boring for me 85% of the time and doesn’t spark my adhd. I’ve always respected his love for it. I try to listen to him talk about it, buy him themed gifts, and even enjoyed watching Vox Machina with him. I’ve done a couple one shots with him and it was relatively fun, but I don’t want to devote 4-5 hours of my life to that every other weekend.
I’ve never really cared that he played every other weekend and did some gamebuilding for a few hours through the week. If anything it gave me some alone time. However, that has recently changed. Some people at work asked if he would run a game for them and he agreed. It was three people and he decided he would rotate the weeks (play his original campaign of 4 on Saturday week A, and the new campaign group on Sunday Week B alternating like that). I told him before he agreed that it might be easier to just group the campaigns together but he said it would be too much work and bring him up to 7 people which was too big of group.
So now he’s spending double time gamebuilding and starts getting stressed. Then the three people found 2 more people. Then they brought in another one. Now he’s at 6 people. He asked his original campaign if they would be okay if he took a month off to avoid burnout and they said yes. It kind of annoys me because he said 6 was too big but here he is with 7. And 4 people taking 4-5 hours per game means 7 will probably turn into 6 on those weeks.
Every day after work from home he cooks and then gets on his laptop for 2-4 hours. I don’t want him to feel like he can’t do what he wants in his down time. He works hard and deserves it. I just feel like we are spending less and less time together now since we work during the day. We do eat dinner together but then he grabs his laptop and we get to cuddle and watch maybe 10 mins of tv before he goes to sleep. I also worry about being on the computer too much because he works tech and won’t leave his desk to walk during the day and then transitions to a laptop after 8 hours of work.
Yesterday we went to get dinner and he was on his discord app talking to a new player who needs help before the game on Saturday. As soon as we get home he tells me in 30 mins he has to get on video chat at 9pm to help. Says it’ll take an hour. Okay no problem. He doesn’t get done until 11:30pm.
Today he gets off work and starts helping another player. He doesn’t let me know. I just come downstairs and his door is closed and I hear him talking about D&D stuff. We’d agreed to cook together tonight because we’ve been too tired and busy with DM stuff the last few days but I didn’t want to bother him. I went and ran an errand at 5:45 and got food to eat. I got home at 7 and he had just finished. I’ve told him I don’t want to eat late because of my acid reflux and I would have been fine if he had just texted me earlier to let me know he would be jumping on a call.
I want to talk to him about everything but I don’t know how. I want to say “your game is taking over your time and affecting your mental health. It’s also annoying me.” Obviously I’m not going to put it that way but what do I say? He’s already bummed out and if I say it in the wrong way it’ll seem like I’m kicking him while he’s down after losing players the last few years. Basically he’s had players come and go and it really saddened him since this is a huge part of his life. The last player from his original campaign before he brought new people in just left. Then this new campaign opportunity came together a couple weeks ago and perked him up. Now he’s just consumed by it. Please give me advice. Is it something we should have discussed before he committed to it or would that have been controlling? I had some worry he would overwhelm himself but I didn’t think it would get so bad.

Hey everyone,
I wanted to get some feedback from everyone’s perspective here on my particular situation and whether it’s worth leaving my job or not for an internship, especially in regard to the current job market climate.
I currently work at a big biotech company in QC and make $73,000 / year as my base salary. I also have 53 shares that are expected to vest in November which will be approx. $11,000. I would be up for another merit review in March 2024 where I could get at most, $30,000 in RSU that vests over 4 years. My WLB is pretty good and my job has been very flexible with my work schedule since I’m still in school for my graduate degree. I am able to work from home a bit, depending on workload, and would say the ratio is about 90/10 for onsite/remote. Although these are huge advantages, I was promoted last quarter and have been in my role for close to 2 years…I don’t really see myself growing much more here and I am not wiling to wait X amount of time for another promotion as I already feel that I am underpaid. My next promotion would likely take another 2 years and would take me to around $90,000 base salary / year. With continued RSU grants, I could see this going over > $100,000 / year, assuming I can get the next promotion. Another caveat is that I know I don’t want to work in a lab for the rest of my career. I’ve already worked in a lab space for approximately 4 years (including my last 2 jobs). I am ready to try something new and think this internship I got would be a great way for me to do that. I recently was offered an internship at Tesla at a pay rate of $39.38 / hour with a 1.5x rate for OT in Texas where there is no state income tax. I also have been offered a $2800 (net/after tax) relocation bonus. From what I’ve learned about the internship so far, it would also be centered around QC in a lab doing analytical testing of raw materials.
Now, in order to do this internship, I would need to either A) quit my job or B) take an unpaid leave of absence (assuming I can get one for ~4.5 months which honestly seems unlikely to me even though I think my management really likes me). If I accept the internship and am unable to get the leave of absence from work, I would be forgoing the 53 RSUs that are expected to vest in November (approx. $11,000 valuation) as my internship starts before that. I’d also need to pay back $11,700 in tuition reimbursement that I have received from my current company, though I wouldn’t have to pay this amount back all at once.
I know from a purely financial perspective, this decision makes no sense as I’d be giving up a lot of money and losing my job security. With this in mind, I feel like accepting the internship would be loss in the short term, but a gain for me in the long term. I think my potential earnings would be greater with experience from a company like Tesla vs if I stay in my current role at my current company. Furthermore, I think it would give me connections to advance my career later down the line when I finish school. I also recognize going from one lab job to another seems counter to what I previously said about not wanting my career to be centered around lab work anymore, but I think getting the analytical experience with Tesla is worth it as I could leverage it to secure a better job than I have now. I also don’t have analytical lab experience so I’d be adding even more skills to my current repertoire(currently automation/library prep/sequencing focused).
I’ve been struggling with this decision for a bit and I’d love any and all feedback on everyone’s perspective on this! Thanks in advance!

Hey A,
I wonder if you think about me on Fridays as much as I think about you.
Fridays used to be our days. I’d struggle to get through the week but would always look forward to the day where I could finally see you.
I miss getting food with you and watching some trashy reality show. I miss taking an edible and watching SpongeBob and laughing at how stupid it was. I miss kissing you and cuddling you. Back then, you couldn’t last 5 minutes without wanting to cuddle me and be near me. What happened since then and now? Now you’re completely ok with the possibility of never being near me again.
I miss falling asleep next to you to the sound of you breathing and your rain noises. I’d scratch your back while you slept. Waking up to you always felt like the most beautiful dream. Now I wake up on Saturday mornings alone. Now it’s a nightmare.
I wonder what you fill your time with on Fridays. I wonder when you’ll start missing our Fridays as much as I do.

2 days ago (6/7/23) I took my 4 kids and myself hiking on the Walnut Creek trail. We arrived at the trail head around 4pm, and started our hike. Our destination required us to pass three bridges before we stopped and started to make our way back to the trail head. We made it to our destination, and started walking back with no issues for the first 15mins with only the occasional mt biker passing by.
As we walked over the 2nd bridge my kids and I (kids all under the age of 10) heard someone very clearly with a female voice under the bridge say ”hi my dear, come over here” x2. The first time we heard it we all stopped in our tracks and looked at each other like “did you hear that?!” My 9 year old daughter even asked “mom did you hear that?! What was that?!?”, and my 3 year old looked at me very perplexed. There was no one in sight.. I even looked under the bridge and couldn’t see anyone, but could hear some rustling.. Then a few seconds later we heard it again in the same exact tone/voice “hi my dear, come over here”. It was almost robotic..This was about an hr or so into our hike… so around 5-5:15pm.
At that point we all started swiftly walking towards the trail head. No one said a word the whole time. I remained calm as I always carry my side piece… so I had a form of self defense to rely on. But still, it definitely spooked me and the kids.
As you might already know- there’s a playground not far from the trailhead. When I asked my kids if they wanted to play on the playground they all simultaneously and without missing a beat said “no” they wanted to go straight home..
This definitely could have been a vagrant camping out at the park, possibly high or drunk.. given the location, this isn’t unusual.. but I’ve never experienced anything like this at walnut before and want to know if anyone has experienced anything similar. Definitely spooked us.
Anyways, thanks for reading.

American learner of Afrikaans here. Are there any differences between Afrikaans in Namibia and Afrikaans in South Africa? Any Namibia-specific words/phrases, different accent?
Started learning about a year and a half ago and totally fell in love with the language. Absolutely want to visit Namibia and SA some time in the future. I don't know as much about Namibia as SA, though.
Thanks for the replies!

I (28F) have been in discussion with my partner (25F) who is diagnosed schizophrenic, about the possibility of me being schizophrenic.
I recently (over the last 2 months) have received a diagnosis of "depression with psychotic symptoms". I know two things;

• My biological father IS schizophrenic
  
• "They" (Medical professionals) usually diagnose "depression with psychotic symptoms" before anything else.
  

That said, I've talked with my partner about some of the stuff I've "seen" and "heard". I'm diagnosed ADHD, and C-PTSD, both of these come with intrusive thoughts. Couple that with myself, who is a visual thinker. I've always thought that the things I've seen are just something called "visual intrusive thoughts".
For those of you who don't know, a visual intrusive thought is just an intrusive thoughts but rather than words in your brain, it's pictures.
From what my partner has told me it sounds like I'm actually hallucinating and it's just now starting to get worse. I've been told that it's not always childhood or even teenage years that people see symptoms, but in some cases it can be late 20's to early 30's where some people experience worsening schizophrenic symptoms.
The hallucinations I'm questioning, I'm unsure if I can explain on Reddit as they're graphic and tend to be a little more violent, and I'm unsure if it would break ToS. Though I can explain a few of the nonviolent ones;
What I had considered a visual intrusive thought;

• There was a day I was discussing something relating to the ocean with an ex of mine. I'm thalassophobic. At some point during the conversation it seemed that my entire "vision" had darkened, and it was as if the entire world was gone and I was in an empty, black void (think anime, movies, cartoons, etc when a character goes into a deep thought and it's just them on a black background). Suddenly a shark had appeared and what seemed like it tried to eat me. It was a very quick experience. It felt as if it only lasted a few seconds before I "came back to".

Three other accounts, more recently, over the last two months;

• I was home alone, with my partner on a discord call. I was playing CoD, minding my own business. We were just kind of doing our own thing. I had heard disembodied voices coming from my stairwell. I couldn't make out what they were saying. It was scary enough that I thought I needed self protection. I had grabbed my roommates firearm to investigate and found nobody inside, or by the door leading outside. I called my roommate to explain what happened and he said it might have been the landlord, or the roofers (nobody was around, or in sight). This was my first indication that I might actually be experiencing hallucinations, and what prompted me to talk with my partner about all of this.
  
• I was up late one night and couldn't sleep, several weeks ago (I'm an insomnic). I was in bed, in the dark with nothing but my PC's RGB lights for room ambiance. I had seen some dark figure, what seemed like a man, hover over the side of the bed, over my roommate. "He" had no lower half, and what seemed like very short, or, no arms. Again it was a fast experience. He disappeared rather quickly. This time my vision didn't go black prior or during.
  
• That same night, I was looking at the wall, where my plushies were. They were casting small shadows because of the RGB lighting from my PC tower. It felt as if they were breathing very steadily. No sound or anything, just the body motions of breathing in and out. I had observed for a few moments before what seemed like what I can only describe as a shadowed "tendril" had appeared on the wall. Once again, it was quick then it was gone.
  

One account from just yesterday (June 8th);

• I was walking home with my partner and we were talking about our families. Some time in the conversation I saw a woman walking our general direction on the sidewalk. For but a split second I saw my mother rather than this person which is highly unlikely, if not impossible. My mother is on the other side of the country, and we scarcely talk. She has no reason to be where I am, and, she doesn't even know where I live.

The other accounts I can't really talk openly about as they're violent (always geared towards me) and again I'm unsure if they'd break ToS. Though I will say is one of them left me in tears for an entire night, and the other had scared the hell out of me enough that I had to stop what I was doing and check the room to see if I was alone (I was). Those two had happened 3 or so years ago.
I had always figured these were just intrusive thoughts of the visual variant, until my partner started saying they're more akin to hallucinations.
Before anyone worries, I've already informed my doctor(s), and will be looking into possible medication, depending on what we find with my appointments.

Hi y’all, I’m new to this subreddit but I think I’ve come to the right place. Basically, I (young female) tend to overeat sometimes (mostly healthy fats and protein) and I have a really good bulk going but I haven’t been working out like you should during a bulk. I guess my question is, should I start working out and lifting more while continuing to eat the same amount or should I start a mini cut and then work my way back up with a bulk after I’ve started lifting more? Currently I weigh 150ish pounds at 5’4”. I want to build more muscle to have more of an athletic curvy build rather than a soft flub look. Any advice is appreciated:)

Hello, I have been with my boyfriend for almost three years. About 5 months into our relationship I asked him if he looked at porn (we had never talked about it before) and he said yes. I was very disappointed but I was clear about my boundaries and told him it’s cheating to me and I won’t tolerate it in my relationship. He said it was a bad habit he had being single for so long before me and never knew it was wrong. (He hasn’t had many relationships and porn is so normalized so I understood why he didn’t think anything of it)
He promised he wouldn’t look at it anymore and apologized for hurting me. And he didn’t want to look at it anymore. (He only ever looked at it when I was at work sometimes. our sex life was great and he was very affectionate, I never suspected addiction.)
So here’s the problem. I have never been able to trust him since then. Even though I’ve brought it up multiple times throughout our relationship, and he's always given me reassurance that he’s kept his promise and doesn’t use it. He has done research on how it’s toxic to the brain and he knows how wrong it really is. But for some reason this lingering feeling won’t go away.
Some days I’m completely fine and don’t think about it at all. But days like today it completely overcomes my head and I cannot stop thinking about it and worrying that he uses it behind my back and is just really good at hiding it. He doesn’t show any signs of addiction. We are almost always home at the same time. He is intimate with me and loving and he’s supportive every-time I’ve brought it up. Although he has expressed worry for me not being able to trust him. (Which I understand because I’m constantly questioning him)
I’ve tried to see if I can get him to admit he has looked at it again, but it’s always the same thing every time I bring it up. He reassures me that that’s not what he wants, and he is not that person anymore and doesn’t ever want to be that person again and he made a promise to me and he is keeping it. He has always been honest with me about everything else in our relationship so I don’t think he’s lying.
I’ve also looked through his computer and phone multiple times throughout the relationship and haven’t been able to find anything except for some things way before we met that came up on google activity. But I also found that odd that I couldn’t find anything after that. I didn’t thoroughly search though, but I’m wondering Did he start using incognito after that? How would I know he’s not just still using incognito so I’d never be able to find out? And that’s what scares me. He is so genuine and supportive of my feelings and understands completely (from how he seems when we talk about it, could be an act though) about how I feel and how porn is wrong and toxic especially in relationships. His reassurance makes me feel better but only for a short time. This feeling always comes back. I am trying so hard to trust him.
Can anyone give me tips on what I can do to stop thinking about it? I haven’t found any evidence whatsoever that he still looks at it. So how can I trust him until I actually find something that gives me a reason not to?

Disclaimer: Kinda long but I BOLDED the main points and saved the best for last so if you read nothing else, read the last two BOLDED things. Thanks
Right off the bat I want to say this isn't about Gameplay at all. They're two very different games and that's fine. I like it that way. Heck I actually much prefer DBFZ's gameplay but it's nice to have a chance of pace.
Also don't worry about bias because DBFZ is my favorite fighter of all time so if anything it would be the other way around (even though the original Street Fighter 2 is what introduced me to fighting games, but that was a lifetime ago and really has nothing to do with the suggestions i'll make)
Instead what I can't stop seeing in SF6 is all the non-gameplay stuff, that makes the overall experience so much better. I've noticed myself say the words "God, I wish this was in DBFZ" so many times that I finally just had to sit down and write this thread.
So let's get the obvious stuff out of the way

1. Rollback -- the netcode is amazing. DBFZ is a game where you probably won't want to play with someone if they're West Coast and you're East Coast, but SF6 you can have good games with people from entirely different continents.
2. Cross-Platform --speaking of Rollback, even when DBFZ finally gets it, it won't be coming to PS4 or Xbox One, meaning PS4 players won't even be able to play with PS5 players, let alone with PC players or Xbox X/S players. But SF6 has full Cross Platform, PS4 players like myself can play with PC players, Xbox players, and our PS5 brothers

In fairness to Arcsys maybe netcode stuff is extremely technical. I mean it certainly has taken them a long time to get Roll Back finished, so much so that even after announcing it a year ago, the Beta still hasn't happened.
But what about some simple quality of life stuff that wouldn't be that hard to put in the game? I genuinely believe they could do most of this stuff in less than a week:

1. You can queue up for both Ranked and Casual matches at the same time.

I mean holy shit this seems so obvious in hindsight but why do we have to pick JUST ONE?!?!? Obviously you can still have the option to pick one but why JUST one??? SF6 let's us check the boxes and you can choose one, the other, or BOTH!
And..... you can still look around the lobby for private matches and stuff so imagine potentially entering Ring Lobbies, or even looking for Arena matches while still searching for Ranked and Casual matches.
This way you not only have more options but you're more likely to find a match and whichever one finds you a match first is the one you go to! Super Simple.

1. You can offer to run another set with your opponent

Now this one is kinda the same as hitting rematch technically but it feels more like you're doing a whole new set thanks to how SF6 has multiple rounds per "Game"
5. You can offer to run (Ring Matches) with someone after you've played them in matchmaking with just one click of a button
If you want to continue playing with the opponent after you've run ranked/casual matches with them, there's an option right there where "rematch and quit" normally are to invite them to a private room (essentially like starting a ring lobby with them)
No need to message them and ask if they want to run Ring Matches. No need to tell them what Lobby you're in and all that mess, it'll put you in a "Ring" (private room) automatically
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I saved the best for last.

1. You can put people on a Block List

Think of it like the way the "Marker List" works except instead of just getting a red warning and manually deciding if you want to play them again, You CANNOT be matched up with them ever again (unless you remove them from the block list)
This means if people are:
-Laggy
-Toxic
-Smurfs
or even
-Annoying
You don't have to deal with them ever again. Not having this feature only benefits those people.
A little side story while I'm on the topic of how useless The Marker List is: There's this son of a bitch named SupremePapi that i've actually made like two youtube videos about. Instead of just smurfing like a normal smurf, he turns on matchmaking, puts his controller down, and just goes AFK for HOURS. So that he can lose, rank down, and then beat up on weaker players. From his replays i've seen he'll lose over 50-70 times in a row and then suddenly win 50 to 70 in a row. It's MADNESS.
He's the only person I have on both my Follow and Marker list so that I always know that it's him. Now you might be thinking "So? Just beat him and move on" but I don't want to artificially rank up so I don't want free wins. "Okay so just decline him then?"
Ah but that's the problem.... because his connection is so good and he's always available to play... he will show up NONSTOP. I've showcased this in my videos on him (on Natman2939) that as soon as I decline the match up with him, he'll just pop up again, I decline again, he pops up again. I once started counting and I declined him over 15 times in 1 minute.
DBFZ doesn't give a shit that he's on my marker list (and no having him on follow doesn't effect it cause I tried that) they just expect me to keep declining him over and over.
This means I have no choice but to just get off for a few hours because I'll spend the next hour declining him HUNDREDS of times in a row.
If this were Street Fighter 6....I could just Block him ONCE....and he would be gone forever. If he made a new account and smurfed. Block that account. The end.
And he's just the worst example but obviously there's so many toxic/laggy/smurfs or otherwise people I just don't want to play that might be one of the few people on at my rank and I just have to keep declining.
A Block List ends that problem completely.
---------------------------------------------------------------
But my absolute favorite thing that SF6 does that DBFZ doesn't. The *chef's kiss* of SF6

1. It actually has severe punishments for Rage Quitting (and shitty internet)

I know what you're going to say "but I love Rage Quitters! They make me laugh!" me too. They really do. Heck if you saw my last youtube video (or many of my youtube videos including entire RQ compilations) I actually do get quite a bit of joy from them and am constantly celebrating and laughing when they do it.
But.... that doesn't make rage quitting cool, and doesn't mean they shouldn't be punished. I would laugh that much harder and celebrate that much more if they were.
Because frankly watching someone get to a rank they have no business being at because they RQ so much is just gross. Especially knowing there's virtually no consequences in DBFZ (except some very rare temp bans that you have to RQ like 50 times in a small period of time to get)
But here's what SF6 does....
If someone disconnects 5 times in a certain period of time they get a "yellow card" which is basically like a warning that they disconnect a lot.
But here's the funny thing..... THEY CAN ONLY PLAY WITH OTHER YELLOW CARD PLAYERS!!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA!
Now you might be thinking "but Natman, I disconnect a lot because my internet is bad!" well buddy....you're hurting other people's experiences with that bullshit whether it's your fault or not so get it fixed or get your yellow card and go play with the others like you.
Now Capcom is super fair of course, allowing people to come back the regular player pool BUT.....only if they complete a certain number of games without disconnecting.
So RQ'ers and wifi warriors are in shambles.
But wait there's more!
If you continue to disconnect even while having a yellow card, you get a red card. This means you can only play your fellow red card players and you have to go like 20 matches in a row without an issue to lose it.
AND.....I hear the wait times for yellow and red are way way way worse than normal people, so enjoy your waiting simulator while the rest of us get to play the game without having to suffer your bullshit.
As if that wasn't more than enough, if you continue the bullshit even with a red card, you will get temporary bans.
Now I couldn't begin to count the amount of threads discussing rage quitters and horribly laggy wifi types that there have been in DBFZ. Can anyone (other than them.....) imagine how amazing it would be if this were in DBFZ?!?!?!?
Not only could you block them straight up, but if you chose not to, they'd be removed from the pools anyway. Because instead of a purple "match completion" warning that serves no purpose other than another reason for me to have to manually decline a match, instead their equivalent of the match completion warning, forces them to only fight others with the same warning, and then get straight up banned for 3 days or a week if they keep it up.
It's glorious.
All of these things combined make the online experience so much better in SF6 and would help DBFZ immensely.
I could also go into other things like training mode doing much better training set ups (like "anti air practice") or showing your exact plus/minus frames over your character's head... but obviously this is long enough for now.
So anyway, I'm in my 3rd year of playing DBFZ and I love the game but these are just a few ways it could be much much better. Maybe.... arcsys will take notes for future games.

"Fear the old blood; you've no idea the curse you have brought upon us," the old man said, his pale frame rested against the body of a large woman staring down at him. Her entire form was obfuscated by the thick, plated armor covering her body. The woman lets out a low growl as she plants a hand on his shoulder, and pushes him off of her blade. She stares down at the body, her expression behind her helmet remaining stern, unbroken, and unrelenting...
"You must be unrelenting," One of her... Mentors, of sorts, had told her all those years ago. His large muscular frame was imposing against the smaller, pale girl beneath him. Her arms and legs had white scales along them, and she had a tail not unlike a dragon's. On her back were two wings of matching color.
Her breathing was ragged and heavy, and in her arms was a battle axe she held limply. She had been much younger at the time, but was still quite large for her age. Still, her mentor had dwarfed her.
"This isn't fair!" She groaned. The axe was easily two sizes too large for her, and the energy required to wield it was clearly starting to take its toll on her.
"Life isn't fair, child. Do you think your enemy will give you a break if you get tired? Again," He responded, his voice as stern and uncaring as ever.
In a gust of flame, her mentor was gone, and she alone once more. Arms sore and shaking, she stands tall but tired against the red sand beneath her. She can barely lift the axe, leaving the blade to rest on the ground, as a portcullis across from her slowly opens.
Behind it, a chain devil stood. Its frame was lithe and strong despite the evidence of hunger being written across its body. It is quick to action upon the wall between them having been lifted, and begins to spin a hook at the end of one of its chains as it approaches. The woman shakily hefts her axe, resting it on her shoulder as she meets its gaze with one of her own-- one of equal parts determination and fear.
Hello all! My name is Nihilism, but you can just call me Nihil. My post is a bit long, so I'll be posting a condensed version here, with a more in-depth version here!
The basic concept I am looking for is a game wherein you and I would collaboratively make the world in which we tell the story of a Doom or Berserk style Demon Slayer; someone on a rage-fueled, heavy metal demon killing spree. The excerpt you read above is meant to show off the character I intend to play, alongside show as a sample of my writing style!
If all of this interests you, feel free to DM me! Before you do, though, here are some things to know about me:

• I am 19! As such, I would like for my partners to at least be 17+!
• I am pansexual!
• I use Any/All Pronouns!
• Due to the above two points, I would obviously need my partner to be comfortable with both my identity and sexuality, and not bigoted!
• I draw a lot. Like a lot a lot. It is almost certain that I will draw something if the story is something that gets us particularly invested! I already have some art I am making for the character at the moment, too!!
• I tend to write a lot, especially whenever I have a lot of things to describe, or my muse for a particular situation is very high! As such, I can tend to write a large bit from time to time. Now, keep in mind that doesn’t mean all the time; when it comes to things like combat, dialogue, etc etc, that length is subject to change. There’s no specific amount of characters or words I am trying to reach, nor is there any expectation for you! As long as your post is well written, and I can see the effort you’re putting in, we’re good!
• I’ve been role playing and playing TTRPGs regularly for about 6 years now, and dabbling with them for about 9 or so. I’ve also been very into writing for 8, but have always wanted to make stories! I wouldn’t say I’m the best writer out there, but I am relatively experienced, and hope to make something interesting, engaging, and well written. Something worthwhile for both of us!
• I like to discuss with my partner what we are and aren’t comfortable with prior to starting, so expect me to ask that of you! Look below to see my TTRPG consent form!
• I'd prefer to run this in a Discord server for organization, ease of writing, and use of bots!
• I’ll admit, I’m a bit of a softie; I generally don’t prefer to kill off player characters! I like to have stories reach a more satisfying ending than “you die.” I’m here for a story, not a struggle to keep my character alive.
• I tend to write in third person past or present tense! I think I lean more towards present tense.

With all that said, if you’d like to write a story of demons, devils, aberrations, and a woman’s righteous, hate-fuelled war against them with me, DM me on Reddit! Be sure to include the word “Detritus” in your message and, if you’d like, your favorite joke! That way I know you actually read the post (or at least skimmed it well enough to notice this)! If you don’t do this, I may not respond, as I will give your message less priority than those that use the passcode!
Can't wait to see who responds~!

Okay so.. like most kids, my son (5) HATES losing. Board games, video games, sports, whatever. He will throw a whole tantrum. Anyway, we recently started playing Mario and the times he has lost, he has gotten really upset – yelling, kicking, crying, visibly angry. I’m not use to seeing him that way because he is the sweetest kid and a good listener. He’s only like this when it comes to losing. I had a conversation with him about how it’s okay to be upset, but that’s not how we should show it. I also told him we wouldn’t be playing anymore if this is how it’s going to be.
Well, he listened to what I said, except I think he went a worse route. He was playing the game with his uncle and grandparents, and when he lost, he started hitting himself in the face. They didn’t even say anything about them winning or him losing — we never rub it in his face. I’m not sure what to do. I think a tantrum might be better than him slapping himself hard in the face… that really concerns me.

I am a cishet man and am posting from a throwaway account.
When I was in third grade, I had a really close friend I'll call John. John was an amazing person. We bonded over our shared interests of primarily Minecraft but also of other video games and book series. Stuff like that. However, when we left elementary school after fourth grade, we didn't go to the same middle school. As a result, we became less close, but still saw one another every now and again. It was during one such time that we were sitting in his back yard talking about who we liked, yadda yadda. Mostly him asking me who I liked; he was the only person from our elementary school that went to his middle school so he was interested in how the rest of us were getting on I guess. Eventually he poses the question: 'who do you want to have sex with?' I had no idea what he was talking about. We were in 5th grade. Idk whether he had started watching porn and knew what it was from that, or if he had received sex ed from his school at that point but regardless. I asked him what sex was. He dodged the question. Told me to come inside. I did. Told me to come to his room with him. I did. Told me to come in his closet with him. I did. Told me to do something I didn't understand. "Why?" "Because it's what best, best friends do." Yeah. Fortunately my mother had arrived to pick me up before anything went too far but there was some physical contact. I got dressed. Left with my mom. The next year, he moved across the country. Never saw him again. But as I was walking away from his house: "Goodbye, best, best friend." I just graduated High School this month, and those words ring in my ears all these years later.
Redditors. You are the only people that know this happened. Just me, John, and that stupid fucking closet. I haven't told anyone for a whole slough of reasons. First, I wrote it off same as he did. 'It's what best, best friends do. Then, as I learned more, it was other things. Shame that I let this happen to myself. Thoughts of "what good could it do?" and "nobody would believe me now." I know I shouldn't obey these thoughts. I know none of them make any sense. He took advantage of me. He knew what sex was and he knew that I did not. But I still haven't told anyone about it. I don't want to be weak. I don't want to be vulnerable. I don't want to be the little kid getting taken advantage of in the god damn piece of shit closet.
I decided to post my story in hopes that maybe, just maybe, I might feel a little bit better. So far, it has proven counterintuitive. We'll see how things are tomorrow. This account is temporary. I will never log into it ever again. There will be no updates. There will be no edits. There will be no responses in the comments. I'm not ready for anybody in real life to know about this yet, maybe I never will be, so I'm trying to leave as little trace as I really can. I will be looking at this post on my main account, though. So should you choose to leave well-wishes know they are being thoughtfully read, cherished, and revered.

Hello I been with my significant other for 7 years now. We have a 5 year old boy and a newborn on the way. Throughout the 7 years I cheated on her once and kept a female in my pocket for the most part all the time. We ended up splitting when out first born was 1 then got back together recently going to be a year now. We both had terrible last couple years. I was in heroine recovery last year while she endured her darkest days and needed me the most but I didn’t acknowledge her. During that time she told me many things that I couldn’t believe. Which now I think is happening but she denies it. I’m not sure if she cheating on me or just trying to make me jealous. But it seems like the tables turned she became me and I became her. She self diagnosed with bpd. At first I didn’t believe it and told her I want a doctors to sign off on that but then finally going to follow up on bpd a lot of her behavior since day 1 makes sense now. My heart wants to believe her that she is loyal still and wants to continue being a family. I honestly think she became a slut and denies it but what makes it more interesting is that my brain does not miss the evidence left behind no matter how hard you try to hide it. So this has become very intense. I don’t know wether I’m tripping and just accusing her or she is manipulating the life out of me and my son. I have literally lost everything going crazy over this situation I will have to start from scratch with or with out her. Has anybody had a similar situation??????

With the new path system released for vestal and flagellant I started thinking about other characters that need new paths that make them feel unique. Runaway is the only new character in DD2 and I almost never pick her because she’s just underwhelming and frankly boring with her current paths incentivizing you to stick her in rank 4 and spam firefly. Here are my ideas on how I think they could make her better.
Orphan:
Totally reworked into a pseudo tank/guerrilla fighter Passive, 50% chance to gain dodge on turn end 50% chance to gain taunt on turn end Affected skills: Hearthlight, same but grants two taunt tokens. Only usable in front two ranks and clears corpses.
Run and hide: back 3 instead of 1 remove taunt tokens and heal for each one. Still grants stealth and cannot gain taunt for two turns.
Firefly: now only usable from rank 4 but has increased burn damage.
Ransack: apply daze on combo instead of burn, stun on upgrade.
Dragonfly: same attack in terms of targets and damage but only usable in rank 4 and 3 and move forward 2 instead of back 1.
Survivalist: Affected skills: Firefly, searing strike, ransack: inflict blind to an adjacent enemy on combo instead of burn.
Run and hide: now usable on all heroes not just herself.
Cauterize: heal 10% cure bleed. If target bleed heal additional 25%
Hearthlight: now targets allies, removes blind. Upgraded removes 1 stress from allies with 5 or more stress. Cooldown 1.
Arsonist: Keep her chance to burn self from current arsonist path. And burn resist piercing.
Affected skills: Firefly, searing strike, ransack: on combo burn both adjacent enemies.
Controlled burn: increase burn duration.
Cauterize: requires ally bleed. Cure bleed and grant crit token. No longer heals.
Backdraft: same but also applies 4 burn to target.
Hearthlight: Tick all enemies burns without lowering their duration. Cooldown 2.
