    Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered

    Infamy is an automatic result from many Thieves Guild / Brotherhood quests, but to my knowledge infamy only affects disposition with NPCs. The stuff that can get you kicked out of guilds is specific to each guild, usually involving simple things like assaulting/stealing from other members, etc...

    That Mortismal video confirmed I’ll wait for a sale, if ever. Leaning into melee was not the direction I was hoping for.

    Depression

    Feel the way you feel for now. Just know that as long as you take some of the advice here and in the divorce thread to heart, it will be a temporary phase. I know it never seems that way when you're in it, but for anyone who's truly trying, it's always temporary.

    Finished 100% on PS5 over the weekend. Was my first time playing Oblivion, pretty solid game. Played just like Skyrim on PS5, which is to say it played well. Only a handful of crashes. What are people's thoughts on the Shivering Isles expansion? Before playing, everything I heard was that it...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    My limited layman understanding is that the “experts” don’t even truly know why. It supposedly has to do with what your eyes do naturally when you recall information. Making the eye movements intentionally somehow enhances the recall, or makes it easier to process the trauma, or something.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Nah, not bi-polar, although I understand why you'd draw that conclusion. For one, the psych people she talked to said she wasn't bi-polar. For two, ALL of the "10%" involved triggers regarding her past trauma with the ex that she should have left waaaay before hitting the 7-8 year mark. Side...

    Don't mind. I'll provide the short(er) version, and people can prompt follow-ups where interested or unclear. Some quick history/timeline, I'm 44 (she's 38), had never been married before her, had "dated" well into the triple digits but very rarely found anyone I wanted to be around for long...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Wanting to discard what you feel directly implies you’ve got some serious unresolved shit somewhere. Some number of open loops are running, and since you’re not aware of WHY they’re running, it just creates emotion that you have no way to reconcile. That’s not going to get better on its own.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Have you ever tried hypnotism? It requires being open to it for it to work, but it might be worth exploring. You seem to be confused (and reading between the lines, more than a bit frustrated or exasperated) about yourself. That shit must suck.

    Thanks for sharing all of this. If you're willing to share more, I'm curious about some examples of specific things that lead to "ick" on her part. Given she was one who kept things bottled up, I think examples are useful for guys to file away as possible pitfalls with women. My (soon to be ex)...

    $1 million seems to be a good inevitable strike point, but people like Mike Saylor seem to have their targets set quite a bit higher. $1m is a solid haul for sure, but you might think about selling only half!

    Nobody suggested it was typical or atypical. You tried to imply that it was stupid. Some of us disagree it's stupid. If your intention was NOT to imply he was stupid, I don't think you got your point across very well.

    Don't know and don't care, was just addressing the retarded take. If I were him, I'd probably liquidate $50-$100m worth because I have things I want to build. But no way I would liquidate it all, because where else could I put the remaining balance that would get 50-100%+ average annual return...

    You have a strange definition of “brand new unknown.” If you’re interested, there are plenty of resources you could use to learn about it. If all you want to do is laugh from a perceived state of intellectual superiority then carry on, you’re doing great.

    I mean, who the fuck would sell more than they need to of the obvious superior store of wealth that will definitely continue to increase in value relative to the dollar because it hasn't hit critical mass yet? If he doesn't need $300 million today for some reason, why would he liquidate it when...

    On PS5, have had 2 or 3 crashes total with 55hrs played. All crashes seemed to be directly preceded by some sort of buggy issue, like inventory wigging out or an npc not knowing how to get out of somewhere.

    That sort of metric is nigh useless at a national level. Real Estate / Housing is one of the most regional things, such that two adjacent square miles can have wildly different results.

    Scaling is horseshit design, but if you're going to use it at least make it bounded scaling. Ex: if you have an enemy that has a typical level equivalent of 10, maybe it scales up to 20 max, and in proportion to player leveling with a ratio below 1:1. Like for every 5 player levels beyond 10 it...
