  “Horniness is the suspension of disgust” is going in my quote book, fyi. It also explains some things about me and my near-constant horniness. And, I think in some ways, the stereotypical CIS male mindset in general. Thank you for this

  For us both, really. Its caused a lot of strain on our relationship. I am more than happy to masturbate, but it doesn’t scratch the same itch for me as sex with my wife - lack of intimacy, I guess, but also just I love pleasuring her and I miss that. My wife finds masturbation to be wholly unsatisfying and gets outwardly frustrated if she goes solo for a while.

  We both work full time and are juggling taking care of the baby, so many days we just don’t have the bandwidth to both have free time and privacy at the same time and thus initiate sex. Usually we’re work out by the time the baby is asleep, and even if one or both of us is in the mood we just don’t have the energy. My wife has expressed that she feels rejected and unattractive because of it, and I find myself depressed and also a bit unattractive if I’m being honest.

  But we are good communicators with each other, and we’re working through it. Its just hard.

  I think the stat is at least 21x per month. So more like 5-6x per week for prostate health benefits.

  I just started looking throughthe thread, but the idea that once a week is fairly frequent is mind boggling for me. My wife and I started having sex only once a week post-baby, and its caused us to seek therapy…

  This post proved to me that AI art can have value.

  A very small amount, when used vindictively to produce a single kek

  I’ve done that. Fresh turkey slaps.

  Man, I love random encounters. They feel like an intrinsic part of the genre for me. And I was mildly annoyed by the open-world encounter style in FFXV (latest one I played), partly because I felt consistently incentivized to avoid encounters but running around enemies. But maybe I’m just turning into an old man lol or I have too passive a playstyle

  Bruh. The GameCube was practically retro in 2010

  I was about to dispute this, but I think its essentially correct. I for sure fall into the second camp, and while I despise the minimap bloat of a lot of newer games, I do want something that is going to guide my actions a bit. I want to like No Man’s Sky so much, but playing it feels like work. Endless tasks with no satisfaction except whatever personal pride you happen to glean from a job well done.

  There’s gotta be a sweet spot between “I dunno, do whatever” and “here’s a map of everything interesting, do it all”. I think Breath of the Wild had a okay balance, but still not great. Maybe something more like Morrowind’s “here’s verbal clues, now go figure it out” approach

  Fun fact: the studio made the movie dogshit, too. Watch the trailer for it - they filmed a bunch of scenes from the book, including the original ending, that never made it to theaters but still ended up in the trailer.

  It was mainly for homeless kids, as they were dirty and hunched over and slept under hedges. Which is like one of those un-fun fun facts

  Thats basically the premise of the Uplift series by David Brin

  I say this without doing any googling (big risk) but I’m pretty sure everyone has them - they’re the lines along which your skin originally formed in the womb. Or where your skin currently grows and migrates from. Or both. Maybe I should have googled lol
