    How often do you get "Which game should I play?" dilemma?

    I am familiar with the problem and have likely even started more than one thread asking the very same thing in the past. It is difficult at times but I look at it like dating. I recall being reluctant in starting a lengthy game as I wasn't sure I was ready for the large time commitment...

    "Girlfriend says she's fat" dilemma part 2 the saga continues

    Yeah, perhaps my problem solving/solution seeking nature is what is keeping me from breaking it off. Thinking I could somehow fix the situation when I realize we are not compatible. It is kind of like trying to charge a mobile device with only a USB cord when all you have access to is a wall...

    "Girlfriend says she's fat" dilemma part 2 the saga continues

    Yeah I can understand your reaction on the first thread without knowing about any of these other things. It was never that I didn't find her attractive due to being overweight or I wouldn't be happy with her unless she lost weight. But, as a person who used to struggle with my weight I found...

    "Girlfriend says she's fat" dilemma part 2 the saga continues

    To get some context for this situation you might want to read my other post "Girlfriend says she's fat" dilemma to get an idea of what I have dealt with so far with this situation. My girlfriend is very sensitive about her weight and often says she is fat. In the past I simply just say she...

    Girlfriend vs Mom dilemma

    Thanks for all the advice. I had thought that although my girlfriend doesn't like the fact that I am still somewhat dependent on my mother for now she would have to learn to accept it and deal with it as much as she can. My mother and her have never had direct arguments or anything and my...

    Girlfriend vs Mom dilemma

    I have an esophagus condition known as Barrett's esophagus. It is damage to the lining of the esophagus caused by chronic acid reflux. It puts me at a mild risk for esophageal cancer. It has been recommended to me to have a somewhat minor surgery that involves putting a mesh into my esophagus...

    "Girlfriend says she's fat" dilemma

    I've never really seen a clear cut solution to this problem. If your girlfriend isn't actually fat and says she is it seems she just has a skewed body image and you can feel fine just saying she isn't and move on. But, what if your girlfriend actually is overweight or obese and furthermore...

    What do you think about "it"?

    Yeah, I find myself saying that as well sometimes. Perhaps I should take a conscious effort to start using "they, them, their". A lot of people including myself at one point argue that those terms are for plurals and aren't grammatically correct when referring to a singular. However despite...

    What do you think about "it"?

    I notice myself and a lot of others use the term "it" as a pronoun when referring to typically an animal or perhaps an unborn baby when the gender is not known. However, my girlfriend gives me flak about it all the time. She finds it disrespectful and offensive. I only agree when the pronoun...

    What is your favorite non-Mario Kart mascot racing game?

    I'm not that big into racing games in general but have always had a good time with mascot car racing games. I have spent countless hours playing Mario Kart. I've extensively played them all up to 7 on 3DS. The only reason I haven't played 8 is because I don't have a Wii U yet but it will be a...

    Rare Replay Borders

    I've been thinking of getting the Rare Replay collection mainly for the N64 games on it that I never finished back in the day. Jet Force Gemini, Conker's Bad Fur Day, and Perfect Dark. Also wouldn't mind playing Blast Corps again plus the 26 other titles. However, I am hesitant due to the...

    Hoshigami: Ruining Blue Earth - Is it really that bad?

    Oh yeah, I mentioned that game in my original post near the bottom. I loved Stella Deus which is one reason I thought I'd might like Hoshigami despite its harsh criticism. I found Stella Deus to be rather straightforward and traditional gameplay wise but that is not a bad thing. I often...

    Hoshigami: Ruining Blue Earth - Is it really that bad?

    Yeah seems the game requires the utmost patience. I wonder if it would hold my attention. You say the sequel is better? Are you talking about the DS game?

    I almost never beat my games?

    It used to happen to me all the time as a kid. I would get to a certain point and just stop playing. Nowadays I'm a bit more focused. Whenever I start a game my intent is to play it till the finish. I typically try to only have 1 or 2 games going at once of totally different genres. I...

    Hoshigami: Ruining Blue Earth - Is it really that bad?

    I'm no stranger to tactical role playing games and have quite a few in my collection. My favorite include Final Fantasy Tactics, Tactics Ogre Let Us Cling Together, Fire Emblem series, Jeanne d'Arc, and Vandal Hearts 1 and 2. One game however in my collection that I have yet to play is...
