Main character syndrome, narcissism, savior complex, and groomer! Op is a walking red flag. Saying "little family" with gathered chicks he has romantic feelings for and tried hooking up with is so WEIRD!!! Also Taking advantage of simple mundane crap you vent to friends about and then trying to convince them that they are wrong for being with their partner and hitting them with the "just move out!" just so he can hook up with them! AHHHHHHH!!!! Creepy! Creepy! Creeeepy!!!!! OP must have pried info from their personal lives just so he can use it in his favor to hook up with them! God i hope this story isnt real! This cant be real!
I can't help but notice as well that he says he still keeps that house and goes to it because he misses essentially what could have been with Sola, ALL WHILE HE IS IN A RELATIONSHIP WITH KOALA
Yeah that doesn't seem okay to me either... if I were in a relationship with a guy knowing how he felt about his past relationship I would tell him to just get rid of the house if he's not using it if it's causing him pain in order to help him move past it. The fact he even wanted to keep it after everything they did to him is also bazaar to me. Does this dude like misery? XD
My friend group lost a friend very suddenly. Her brother also let us know. He gave us her account so we could keep her character alive with us. It's been since 2020. Miss ya Fiore 😢. (Sadly her brother ended up passing a year later also very suddenly.)
I like how Millie ERPing behind his back/at all was considered cheating, but Sola had to ask her husband if it was considered cheating, Im sure at the prodding of OP.. Honestly, I feel like we cant know for sure if Sola ever even had feelings for him, it seems like OP is trying to save a lot of face so he doesnt look pathetic and disgusting. Obviously I cant speak for her, so idk if she ever cared deeper than friendship for him, but her ghosting him is super telling imo....dudes a pushy creep and that was the only option to get him to back off.
Yes seen something like this happen before, the person was obsessed with wanting a Harem and was threaten when the girls talked to guys, they make up lies saying they didn't like them etc and that they were toxic and shouldn't hang out with them anymore. These women aren't victims but OP was manipulating and getting their personal info meddling in their lives
Some of this stuff just sounds comical. So this Millicent lady lends him a Google account and this somehow pops her discord on his screen? What?? Also, he learned _ALL_ Omega SVG fights in 2 hrs for after being rusty as a tank...? Then he casually gets an anime harem, then dumps everyone at the end. Even if most of this stuff is made up, it was entertaining, so well done OP.
This sounds like utter horseshit. At the start I can believe those things happened with the first two girls, can even believe in Millie. But the fact he kept in touch with her after she cheated on him twice and possibly a third time and kept her as a friend is beyond stupid. Dont believe what happened at Ultima Thule. "The scions dying is like me losing contact with all the married women I fell for." Come on. Really? I know its an emotional part, but your literally making yourself look like something from an anime. I don't believe Koala is with him either. Because if she is, then why is he bothering with this whole story? Why rehash all of it if your happy with said woman? I also just think going after married women is not cool, and probably the reason Sola ghosted him. I just don't think anyone is buying this story, and he's kinda outed himself to be a douche.
OP sounds incredibly toxic... I would like to note, none of these incredibly close friendships that OP has made were with any male friend. They were exclusively seeking relationships and it feels like being incredibly weird about it along the way.
It definitely seems like a red flag that he tried to get with almost every woman he was "friends" with, it feels like he wanted attention wherever he could find it
After listening to the entire story….I still do not believe this actually happened, not in an astonished kind of way. More like a I really think the OP made the whole thing up kind of way.
Yeah I got the same feeling. What bothered me from the beginning was how he kept talking about chatting in discord in 2.0 when it wasn't a thing until a bit before HW. People used to talk on teamspeak etc at that time. Hmmm
What bothered me not even 10 minutes in is that they said someone was screaming over discord during ARR, before a lot of major features were even in the game, but discord did not release as a service until 2015(?), I’m not sure what they would have been using before that, maybe Skype or something
The way that he decided to let his ex Milli back into his life while clearly trying to pursue Koala rubbed me so wrong, like he's just trying to get attention from anyone who will give it, jumping from woman to woman
Wow! I have watched ALL of your (amazing) drama series and this one was a TREAT! Absolutely delusional OP, I LOVE IT! Keep the delicious stories and thank you for spoiling us with such a long drama video! ❤❤
online and offline relationships are two completely different things, although it can easily be considered cheating irl its harder to have new experiences and to talk about new things day to day because you get in the daily life grind and things become mundane, online there's always new content or things to talk about because if your apart of online culture there's always trends and things going on, so each piece is going to adhere to a different need people have for either social and physical, online you eventually fail because you start to want physical intimacy, then offline you eventually fail because doing the same thing day in and day out to survive makes the social needs very limited. that's why I feel like if you have a partner who games it would be a good idea to get involved in their hobby then if y'all are trying out new games and activities in games you'll be able to feed into their social need, then when your offline doing rl stuff you can feed their physical and direct needs. that's kind of the way I see it, but I could be completely wrong.
Gaming online while doing romantic RP with someone is not the same as having friends online in games. You can have friends online to talk same topics with, but having romantic gameplay with them is not the same. This is a very easy scenario to think through. Imagine someone you talk to daily as a friend, and now imagine you would start to romantic RP them.... you wouldnt. Cause its not the same relationship. However, I feel this has nothing to do with the story as OP played FF and the partner too. But, I think we as watchers shouldnt judge if RP is accepted in 2 other person's relationship or not. Couples can agree on many things in a relationship if they are grown up enough to talk things through. If they both played the game and they agreed that RP is allowed, then it sounds like a healthy way to go about it. If one party was uncomfortable about it and they could not agree, then perhaps they should have discussed why is that and how to get to a middle ground. You can have a relationship where one party doesnt play games at all. All it takes is good communication about feelings when feelings are hurt. If one feels that the other spends maybe too much time about non-irl relationships instead of their real one, they should voice it and talk it through. If the other feels they need this online relationship because of reasons, they should tell those reasons. Maybe the reason why they need that online relationship is because something is missing from the one irl. But no need to go cartwheel mindgames around it. Just talky talky :)
As someone who is in a long-distance relationship that started through FFXIV, it is hard to be without them all the time for sure. But our relationship doesn’t boil down to the physical intimacy, although I do miss it. We won’t break up over it and he even plans to move near me this year, so it really depends on further life plans of the people involved and if there is light on the horizon to actually be together. Also, as someone who has been in the RP/ERP community, it 10000% is cheating imo. Emotional cheating is still cheating, and why should you want to connect emotionally with someone else in an agreed monogamous relationship if you actually love me? A lot of the people in those communities tend to let it get very emotional very quickly, and can even be territorial over their ‘partners’. To each their own, but if they met online, they’re clearly open to connecting with people online again.
At the start of chapter 2, and I have to agree, 100%! For those of us who did play as back as the beta, 1.0 and 2.0, we were clamoring and clawing for more content because it was just awesome! OK maybe not so much 1.0 but when the beta started, I couldn’t wait for more!
@@LucasBernardesRosa Theoretically we can call all these stories "fake". There is no way we can varify them, even if the OPs come in for an interview. But let me tell you this: reality is way, way more crazy than any of these stories. And I mean any of them. Reality makes any soap opera look lame in comparison.
Close the Distnace is my absolute favorite FF14 song and honestly prolly in my top 5 songs period. so hearing that even when im in a good head space makes me feel all types of emotions i can only imagine how if i was in a bad place would make one feel
This brings back good and bad memories back when I was a kid playing FF11. I've tried to get into 14 but all the drama from 11 kept coming back, so I had to quit because it brought back some bad memories. Do you accept stories from ff11? Anyone else played ff11 on Carbuncle server? Let me know. Server was so full of drama I can remember a few stories. My main was Pld/War named Casualties. Hit me up if anyone remembers me.
Okay, so…after hearing the whole story, I have more questions than answers. All I could say is…if he’s “more to himself”, • Why are you constantly hooking up? • Why are you engaging with..relationships? • How and Why do you keep ending up in so many problems? When you could have “NOT” engage when you’re “More to yourself” and “you’re not looking”? I’m sorry to you Pathra, and to OP, but This story is like a Jumbled Mess that leaves so many questions and leaves a strange taste.
I was thinking the same thing as I listened. I keep to myself in FFXIV, or at least I have since around Endwalker, and y'know what that looks like? No friends to chat with in-game, no weird discord wifey e-dating. Mostly grinding, progging new fights, or getting on to do raids with my static (that I don't talk to outside of raid hours). Even when someone seems cool during a duty or out in the wild, I don't pursue anything or try to maintain a connection after. That's what keeping to yourself in FFXIV looks like, I know that life well, so I don't buy the whole, "I promise I keep to myself, but I somehow just keep finding all these married women to talk to, teehee!" I call BS on that.
His Code name "Lulu" first of all if you ever contact my girlfriend and I we will report you for harassment court of law. yes all the women are real, yes he's real. but the story, he's not adding details how manipulated ,narcissist ,toxic he is almost like he's trying to play the victim this guy hates when women say No to him. He even told me him Self 75% server hates him Red flags, Lulu touch some grass get a job the real story to all of this you've never met all these women IRL in person. because you're lazy don't want to achieve anything in Life, the real relationship you ever had is your Hand... Move on, Lulu.
Mmo's tend to attract lonely 30somethings with disordered attachment styles. It is really wild to me some of these stories are full of red flags that ppl ignore BC they "in love" w a friggin ff character.
i'm starting to think people are more in game just to find relationship than to play. cringe, like seriously people engage to this has problems in their head
Damn, they were super excited to share all of this. I hope they got a different viewpoint on themselves after they read comments. Sometimes, you can't see the irony of your actions. Best of luck lulu, hope you change and grow.
man... chapter 3... almost exactly the same stuff happened to me not long ago... met someone, got along super well (but they didn't talk) , developed some sort of feeling (they also said they were a girl on many occasions) then we were literally about to have something with each other outside of erp... I questioned her and figured out it was a trans I was talking to. And while I have no hatred for those ppl as they are also humans it contradicts with my personal goals and views for my own future life (like having children etc, which obv is not possible). But instead of apologizing for lying flat out to me for 2-3 months straight about so many things, they accused me of being transphobic just because I was not giving them a shot once I found out. so OP actually giving it a shot is either a lot more mature than I am or just flat out naive because I straight out got rid of them^^
You're under no obligation to date someone outside your preference. Lieing isn't a good start to a relationship either. You're all good. As long as you're not an ahh about it and just go 'sorry, that's not for me, fam.' Then there's never an issue.
I was a part of an rp venue on Crystal, and we had a Lalafell staff member. Super sweet, super wholesome. About our third opening she says she’s gonna skip because she’s not feeling too well. Next week her brother pops in on her account to tell us she had passed away in the hospital. So we closed for a week and dedicated the next opening to her. Ai Ai, I hardly knew ye, but please rest easy you lil bean.
This reminds me of my FF14 experience which wasn't great sadly. So here's my story-time, and all of this happened within my first several months of trying out the game sadly so it's kinda given me a bad outlook on the game but I honestly don't play anymore because of the sub fee, just doesn't seem worth it. (GW2 ftw
the part about the package being delivered - i have been on a list of names for my fc to get christmas cards from the leaders and they send it to my in game name so i call bull lmao
It's always funny to me seeing the reaction of people who're clearly not roleplayers to the question of whether engaging in relationship rp/erp is cheating. I'm not saying their view is wrong either, I totally understand why they hold that view. I just find it funny because as a roleplayer I've never considered it cheating, my partner doesn't consider it cheating, none of my friends even the ones in relationships consider it cheating. I think if you asked the majority of roleplayers they'd also say it's not cheating, it's a weird thing about the mentality of the community versus those outside of it and I always find it fascinating and have no idea how to explain the divide. Because it's not as if I would be okay if my partner did any of those things out of character or in real life, yet for some reason when it's behind a character most of us don't seem to care much at all.
OP Please, cancel your sub. 😅 Dont log in again, stay away from married women. The whole story sounds like they were trying to emotional manipulate the reader at the start, make them look on their situation with more sympathy. And i feel like they probs left out a lot of grimy shit they did. The whole story just felt greasy.
It did feel like op was uhhh going around a bit... But then again, I could understand Koala as well to a degree, since op was practically involved with a lot. But then again I am a bit meh about the legitimacy.. sometimes it does feel a bit farfetched.
As a noob ff14 player I can say that I enjoy ARR story really. I’m doing side quests + main story and have fun with all that ff can give me. Don’t rush the main story. It will end anyway, so enjoy your journey.
Man, you gotta just invest time in your partner and then just have platonic friends xD Having friends is great, but OP is constantly blurring those lines...
I’m going to be honest here - all this sounds really bad. All I see is people with issues, not dealing with them in a healthy manner. Every story feels wrong in a way and OP is giving toxic or really immature. A typical mmo dramas full of taken girls being unhappy in their relationships and a boy very hungry for attention being treated as a pillow to scream their problems into. I also suspect he’s partially delusional about these situations and maybe even a narcissistic personality but it’s mostly a hunch. He seems to make himself look like an irl PLD and didn’t make a single honestly critical comment on himself which is a big red flag to me. He also sees himself better than any of these girls’ partners with an unsettling ease. Comparing himself to Emet is just a cherry on top. He brings that up simply because he felt flattered by this and it fits his own perception of himself.
We aren’t all bad, and we aren’t all good. We get caught up in being the protagonists of our own lives, and we excuse actions we would condemn others for. Even listening to this, we’re just participating in gossip. But man, it’s always entertaining.
OP is naive and simple minded for someone "smart". He might be good at crafting but his EQ is nowhere on the scale. He keeps engaging with ppl who disrespect him and complain about if afterwards - surprise! I know some ppl who have or want seperate irl & rp relationships and it never works out. one will always end up wanting more and leave or destroy themselves by comprimising for the other for some time and leave then.
Yes cuz when is something expensive or if it was something with insurance like a GPU would be i presume they tend to live it at the office and sent a pick up slip someone with an id that has proof of residency there has to pick it up if names don't match they don't let them take it
From listening in, I think Op spurned Sola, the only one who stayed away. She apparently had relationship issues just as he did. However he was the one who spurned Sola by going on the cruise with his gf, just because he paid for it. A bit dense of him, really
Milly couldn’t talk, something in their childhood… yeah like that she had male parts. It’s almost always that when you’re talking to a woman online in a video game… that or they don’t think they sound good or they’re a larger lady, which hey… yeah people are shallow but it’s a lot less likely to result in anything unless you’re honest and up front about who you are… but really it was more likely imo that it was a dude just playing with gender and stuff cause maybe they were into dudes and didn’t want the world to know who they really are or maybe they were trans or whatever, people are who they are, I just wish that who people are were up front and honest, again, so we’re not wasting peoples time and catfishing one another. I used to do some ERP as they call it now, we used to just call it cyber sex back then, lol… but yeah some old roleplaying chat rooms and stuff on MSN and a few places back then. I frankly didn’t even realize what it was until I was in too deep as I was maybe 15 at the time. Pretty sure most of us lied about our ages, though. Have a few really memorable ones, but we all fell out of touch eventually. The main one I think I was able to confirm she was who she said she was, pictures, voice chat and the like… but who really knows. Another I know was legit. The rest? Who knows, one of the things people love about the internet is the secrecy and anonymity. I’d like to believe they were legit, but who knows? We had a lot of fun though regardless, almost better not knowing for sure especially if it was a lie… but yeah.
I've been playing since 1.0 beta. In the beginning there was a lot of drama. Most of us were very young and the mmo scene was new. Now it's really mixed, some young, some old. It also depends on your server and the scene you're in (rp/ crazy hardcore = drama). There are bad apples in all games, just be ready to leave and don't hang onto friends that aren't good for you. You can avoid most problems. 10yrs going and only 1 drama bubble from over 9yrs ago is all I've seen.
It's part of any popular MMO, drama is bound to happen. If you don't want to get into drama then I'd suggest sticking to single player games! Relationships are messy, but that's part of life, the risk is worth it!
18:30 --- I mean, no. Of course not. The postal office cant just deliver pakages to somewhere if the person its adessed to doesnt live there. Like... DUH! XD Of course they cant do that. There is a thing called "secrecy" when mail is concerned. Imagine you move to another place and someone sends a pakage to your old adress. Would you be okay if the dude living there now, gets your stuff? Not to mention personal data? So, yeah, no. No real name, no pakage :D
Well. On the upside, we hopefully won't have to worry about OP breaking anyone elses relationship intentionally or otherwise. Usually these kinds of stories end in "and now I'm sad and lonely forever" so at least OPs happy and if Koala's cool with OP then thats good👍
My irl partner and I are pretty chill with erp. Our thing is if it’s for money and if both of us are together we will erp with someone. Sometimes it’s his character sometimes it’s mine but we sit and giggle and come up with lines together, make money together and have a wholesome time irl haha. But I wouldn’t erp with anyone if not getting paid without his go ahead and he wouldn’t either. I guess to both of us it’s more in line with cheating if it becomes something you do alone and in private bc it feels like sneaking around with someone else. But neither of us like erp that much tbh
I lose all my friends and my wife (ingame) In one day without any explication, everyone blocked me, i was kicked out the FC during the night. I still dont know why or if i did something wrong. 1 years of friendship throwing away in 1 night. It still make me cry sometimes.

If one feels that the other spends maybe too much time about non-irl relationships instead of their real one, they should voice it and talk it through. If the other feels they need this online relationship because of reasons, they should tell those reasons. Maybe the reason why they need that online relationship is because something is missing from the one irl. But no need to go cartwheel mindgames around it. Just talky talky :)
As someone who is in a long-distance relationship that started through FFXIV, it is hard to be without them all the time for sure. But our relationship doesn’t boil down to the physical intimacy, although I do miss it. We won’t break up over it and he even plans to move near me this year, so it really depends on further life plans of the people involved and if there is light on the horizon to actually be together. Also, as someone who has been in the RP/ERP community, it 10000% is cheating imo. Emotional cheating is still cheating, and why should you want to connect emotionally with someone else in an agreed monogamous relationship if you actually love me? A lot of the people in those communities tend to let it get very emotional very quickly, and can even be territorial over their ‘partners’. To each their own, but if they met online, they’re clearly open to connecting with people online again.
At the start of chapter 2, and I have to agree, 100%! For those of us who did play as back as the beta, 1.0 and 2.0, we were clamoring and clawing for more content because it was just awesome! OK maybe not so much 1.0 but when the beta started, I couldn’t wait for more!
OP has lived a more thrilling life in FF14 than I have in real or online life in decades.
I mean... in his defence, all this happened over the span of 11 years so... yeah, stuff happens in 11 years :D
To be honest, considering how fake this story seems? You might still have the lead, no matter how your life is.
@@LucasBernardesRosa Theoretically we can call all these stories "fake". There is no way we can varify them, even if the OPs come in for an interview. But let me tell you this: reality is way, way more crazy than any of these stories. And I mean any of them. Reality makes any soap opera look lame in comparison.
yea OP wildlin, bruh telling lies and manipulating ppl. OP a villain that doesn’t know they a villain thats the worst kind of villain.
As an Australian, I cringed so hard at your imitation xD great episode!
I’m half New Zealander and lived in New Zealand a long time ago so I def tried 😂
Close the Distnace is my absolute favorite FF14 song and honestly prolly in my top 5 songs period.
so hearing that even when im in a good head space makes me feel all types of emotions
i can only imagine how if i was in a bad place would make one feel
If "How I Met Your Mother" was in FFXIV.
This brings back good and bad memories back when I was a kid playing FF11. I've tried to get into 14 but all the drama from 11 kept coming back, so I had to quit because it brought back some bad memories. Do you accept stories from ff11? Anyone else played ff11 on Carbuncle server? Let me know. Server was so full of drama I can remember a few stories. My main was Pld/War named Casualties. Hit me up if anyone remembers me.
Awesome video and story. I liked this longer video format.
Okay, so…after hearing the whole story, I have more questions than answers.
All I could say is…if he’s “more to himself”,
• Why are you constantly hooking up?
• Why are you engaging with..relationships?
• How and Why do you keep ending up in so many problems? When you could have “NOT” engage when you’re “More to yourself” and “you’re not looking”?
I’m sorry to you Pathra, and to OP, but This story is like a Jumbled Mess that leaves so many questions and leaves a strange taste.
Because its fake lmao
I agree, he claims to not be looking but it seems more like he just wants the attention without any of the attachment
I was thinking the same thing as I listened. I keep to myself in FFXIV, or at least I have since around Endwalker, and y'know what that looks like? No friends to chat with in-game, no weird discord wifey e-dating. Mostly grinding, progging new fights, or getting on to do raids with my static (that I don't talk to outside of raid hours). Even when someone seems cool during a duty or out in the wild, I don't pursue anything or try to maintain a connection after. That's what keeping to yourself in FFXIV looks like, I know that life well, so I don't buy the whole, "I promise I keep to myself, but I somehow just keep finding all these married women to talk to, teehee!" I call BS on that.
His Code name "Lulu" first of all if you ever contact my girlfriend and I we will report you for harassment court of law. yes all the women are real, yes he's real. but the story, he's not adding details how manipulated ,narcissist ,toxic he is almost like he's trying to play the victim this guy hates when women say No to him. He even told me him Self 75% server hates him Red flags, Lulu touch some grass get a job the real story to all of this you've never met all these women IRL in person. because you're lazy don't want to achieve anything in Life, the real relationship you ever had is your Hand... Move on, Lulu.
Agreed, crow
What did he do? I'm so confused by this story
This guy doesn't need a girlfriend he needs a bromance. Girlfriends come and go but the homies stay forever
At work and the kyo part just emotionally crushing me
FR so sad to lose a friend
how much do you all think is made up in all of those 14 pages?
These stories are too cringe to listen to all the way, everyone is usually 30+ and so detached from reality it's crazy
Mmo's tend to attract lonely 30somethings with disordered attachment styles. It is really wild to me some of these stories are full of red flags that ppl ignore BC they "in love" w a friggin ff character.
I can never understand the concept of bring back with a partner that cheated. That’s just asking for more risks to more trouble
i'm starting to think people are more in game just to find relationship than to play. cringe, like seriously people engage to this has problems in their head
yay, new Pathra video!
Damn, they were super excited to share all of this. I hope they got a different viewpoint on themselves after they read comments.
Sometimes, you can't see the irony of your actions.
Best of luck lulu, hope you change and grow.
OP = Red Flag
Damn man, how do people get themselves into this stuff while playing a video game. Lmao. I barely even talk to my own FC.
Bro adventure plate definitely has some edgy design and has the tag “hello kitten let me be your hero” or some shit 😂
If feelings are involved, it's cheating
man... chapter 3... almost exactly the same stuff happened to me not long ago... met someone, got along super well (but they didn't talk) , developed some sort of feeling (they also said they were a girl on many occasions) then we were literally about to have something with each other outside of erp... I questioned her and figured out it was a trans I was talking to. And while I have no hatred for those ppl as they are also humans it contradicts with my personal goals and views for my own future life (like having children etc, which obv is not possible). But instead of apologizing for lying flat out to me for 2-3 months straight about so many things, they accused me of being transphobic just because I was not giving them a shot once I found out. so OP actually giving it a shot is either a lot more mature than I am or just flat out naive because I straight out got rid of them^^
newsflash you're transphobic
@@floradochi559Better than being reality phobic
You're under no obligation to date someone outside your preference.
Lieing isn't a good start to a relationship either.
You're all good.
As long as you're not an ahh about it and just go 'sorry, that's not for me, fam.' Then there's never an issue.
I was a part of an rp venue on Crystal, and we had a Lalafell staff member. Super sweet, super wholesome. About our third opening she says she’s gonna skip because she’s not feeling too well. Next week her brother pops in on her account to tell us she had passed away in the hospital. So we closed for a week and dedicated the next opening to her.
Ai Ai, I hardly knew ye, but please rest easy you lil bean.
This reminds me of my FF14 experience which wasn't great sadly. So here's my story-time, and all of this happened within my first several months of trying out the game sadly so it's kinda given me a bad outlook on the game but I honestly don't play anymore because of the sub fee, just doesn't seem worth it. (GW2 ftw
the part about the package being delivered - i have been on a list of names for my fc to get christmas cards from the leaders and they send it to my in game name so i call bull lmao
After hearing it being said 8 times I really need this guy to find a different way to say "memeing."
The beginning of the Koala chapter brings “trolling” and “griefing” to mind
It's always funny to me seeing the reaction of people who're clearly not roleplayers to the question of whether engaging in relationship rp/erp is cheating. I'm not saying their view is wrong either, I totally understand why they hold that view. I just find it funny because as a roleplayer I've never considered it cheating, my partner doesn't consider it cheating, none of my friends even the ones in relationships consider it cheating. I think if you asked the majority of roleplayers they'd also say it's not cheating, it's a weird thing about the mentality of the community versus those outside of it and I always find it fascinating and have no idea how to explain the divide. Because it's not as if I would be okay if my partner did any of those things out of character or in real life, yet for some reason when it's behind a character most of us don't seem to care much at all.
can't stop binging your vids (new player) xD....ik i should be watching guides and stuff but...yea
Just finished this one and damn, what a journey T_T
I’m at the end of chapter 1 right now, and I am quite intrigued! Let’s go chapter 2
RP is LITERALLY sexting. So. Yes. It's cheating.
I would love for you to interview OP
OP
Please, cancel your sub.
😅
Dont log in again, stay away from married women.
The whole story sounds like they were trying to emotional manipulate the reader at the start, make them look on their situation with more sympathy.
And i feel like they probs left out a lot of grimy shit they did.
The whole story just felt greasy.
It did feel like op was uhhh going around a bit... But then again, I could understand Koala as well to a degree, since op was practically involved with a lot.
But then again I am a bit meh about the legitimacy.. sometimes it does feel a bit farfetched.
Chapter 2… Gut, wrenching… Too many people have been touched by this
i ranked 2nd on weaver for firmament, napping 3 hours a day sounds about right
As a noob ff14 player I can say that I enjoy ARR story really. I’m doing side quests + main story and have fun with all that ff can give me. Don’t rush the main story. It will end anyway, so enjoy your journey.
Man, you gotta just invest time in your partner and then just have platonic friends xD Having friends is great, but OP is constantly blurring those lines...
was wondering why this sounded familiar and then spotted my wol! i hope i catch another live viewing one day~
Holy moly the journey
Hecc yeah, tea on my birthday. Thx for the present! XD
Chapter 5 I want my cake and eat it too
Some of these sounded familiar and I thought so, I’d like if you did more compilations of dramas that have multiple entries from the same person
I’m going to be honest here - all this sounds really bad. All I see is people with issues, not dealing with them in a healthy manner. Every story feels wrong in a way and OP is giving toxic or really immature. A typical mmo dramas full of taken girls being unhappy in their relationships and a boy very hungry for attention being treated as a pillow to scream their problems into. I also suspect he’s partially delusional about these situations and maybe even a narcissistic personality but it’s mostly a hunch. He seems to make himself look like an irl PLD and didn’t make a single honestly critical comment on himself which is a big red flag to me. He also sees himself better than any of these girls’ partners with an unsettling ease. Comparing himself to Emet is just a cherry on top. He brings that up simply because he felt flattered by this and it fits his own perception of himself.
45:28 excuse me!?
Damn lol. This channel was suggested in UA-cam and now I’m locked in. These stories are great lol
Ngl it sounds like OP is the problem, and he's making himself out to be the victim. Nice Guy ™
The OP is cringe and such an awful person. And naming these chapters after ppl is weird. he sure is the definition of go touch grass lol
ARR A BANGER?!? MADNESS
We aren’t all bad, and we aren’t all good. We get caught up in being the protagonists of our own lives, and we excuse actions we would condemn others for. Even listening to this, we’re just participating in gossip. But man, it’s always entertaining.
OP is naive and simple minded for someone "smart". He might be good at crafting but his EQ is nowhere on the scale. He keeps engaging with ppl who disrespect him and complain about if afterwards - surprise! I know some ppl who have or want seperate irl & rp relationships and it never works out. one will always end up wanting more and leave or destroy themselves by comprimising for the other for some time and leave then.
This type of player crap is the reason why I left and went to New World.
Yes cuz when is something expensive or if it was something with insurance like a GPU would be i presume they tend to live it at the office and sent a pick up slip someone with an id that has proof of residency there has to pick it up if names don't match they don't let them take it
Chapter 6 let old dogs lay
Path's aussie accent is the best thing I've heard all day today lol
me and my gaming bestfriend of 5 year have given eachother our parents number so if anything happened to one of us we would be able to find out
.....does OP work? He sounds like game and married women are his entire life 24/7 for 10 years...
oh my god, this guy is just attracting red flags left and right haha.
the exception of sweetest kyo :')
OP sounds like the biggest red flag to me
This is better then, As the World Turns!
OP is creepy IMO. Honestly. They are married, you shoulda put a stop in anything happening last a few laughs there, but you didn't.
From listening in, I think Op spurned Sola, the only one who stayed away.
She apparently had relationship issues just as he did.
However he was the one who spurned Sola by going on the cruise with his gf, just because he paid for it. A bit dense of him, really
i went to the house and gotta say it is cozy
OP makes me sick
That viera in the beginning... 😂😂
Milly couldn’t talk, something in their childhood… yeah like that she had male parts. It’s almost always that when you’re talking to a woman online in a video game… that or they don’t think they sound good or they’re a larger lady, which hey… yeah people are shallow but it’s a lot less likely to result in anything unless you’re honest and up front about who you are… but really it was more likely imo that it was a dude just playing with gender and stuff cause maybe they were into dudes and didn’t want the world to know who they really are or maybe they were trans or whatever, people are who they are, I just wish that who people are were up front and honest, again, so we’re not wasting peoples time and catfishing one another.
I used to do some ERP as they call it now, we used to just call it cyber sex back then, lol… but yeah some old roleplaying chat rooms and stuff on MSN and a few places back then. I frankly didn’t even realize what it was until I was in too deep as I was maybe 15 at the time. Pretty sure most of us lied about our ages, though. Have a few really memorable ones, but we all fell out of touch eventually. The main one I think I was able to confirm she was who she said she was, pictures, voice chat and the like… but who really knows. Another I know was legit. The rest? Who knows, one of the things people love about the internet is the secrecy and anonymity. I’d like to believe they were legit, but who knows? We had a lot of fun though regardless, almost better not knowing for sure especially if it was a lie… but yeah.
Man id thought of getting into this game but now im not so sure 😂
I've been playing since 1.0 beta. In the beginning there was a lot of drama. Most of us were very young and the mmo scene was new. Now it's really mixed, some young, some old. It also depends on your server and the scene you're in (rp/ crazy hardcore = drama). There are bad apples in all games, just be ready to leave and don't hang onto friends that aren't good for you. You can avoid most problems. 10yrs going and only 1 drama bubble from over 9yrs ago is all I've seen.
It's part of any popular MMO, drama is bound to happen. If you don't want to get into drama then I'd suggest sticking to single player games! Relationships are messy, but that's part of life, the risk is worth it!
18:30 --- I mean, no. Of course not. The postal office cant just deliver pakages to somewhere if the person its adessed to doesnt live there. Like... DUH! XD Of course they cant do that. There is a thing called "secrecy" when mail is concerned. Imagine you move to another place and someone sends a pakage to your old adress. Would you be okay if the dude living there now, gets your stuff? Not to mention personal data? So, yeah, no. No real name, no pakage :D
Koala best girl.
I love Australian women x3
Discord doesn't work like that
Well. On the upside, we hopefully won't have to worry about OP breaking anyone elses relationship intentionally or otherwise. Usually these kinds of stories end in "and now I'm sad and lonely forever" so at least OPs happy and if Koala's cool with OP then thats good👍
Haha i think OP is the issue lol
Sounds like a bunch of lonely women wtf 😂
Chapter 3… I’m torn between possible catfish, and “you do you”
My irl partner and I are pretty chill with erp. Our thing is if it’s for money and if both of us are together we will erp with someone. Sometimes it’s his character sometimes it’s mine but we sit and giggle and come up with lines together, make money together and have a wholesome time irl haha. But I wouldn’t erp with anyone if not getting paid without his go ahead and he wouldn’t either.
I guess to both of us it’s more in line with cheating if it becomes something you do alone and in private bc it feels like sneaking around with someone else. But neither of us like erp that much tbh
wtf did I just listen to
Omg this video is long!!
VERY!!!
Facts, and that's one of the reasons why I like it. Lol
Damn OP finds a bunch of women while I am wishing I could find just 1 man. Though I don't want the drama lol
I lose all my friends and my wife (ingame) In one day without any explication, everyone blocked me, i was kicked out the FC during the night. I still dont know why or if i did something wrong. 1 years of friendship throwing away in 1 night. It still make me cry sometimes.
if its an expensive package, it needs sighning, and if the name doesnt match, often they wont deliver it, its to protect from theft
