Hi! I'll jump right into this , I wanna customize my XBOX series x control , like I wanna completely bedazzle it lol, would it be practical and comfortable? Absolutely not, would it be cute asf? Hell yes. I've already sourced the materials I'd need however I was wondering if there was a reliable source to buy controller shells? I don't want to use the shell already on my controller just incase its uncomfortable, I fuck it up, or just want to change it back to the original. I've looked on aliExpress however I've never bought anything gaming related from there not to mention there's multiple sellers hosted on the site so durability isn't always guaranteed. If anyone knows a good place to buy the shells at an affordable price I'd really appreciate any info you have :] Also if anyone else on here has done what I'm planning to do if you have pictures I'd love to see!! Thank you for reading :]

I've been playing Foxhole for a little bit on and off, so I'm far from an authority on good game balance or anything like that, but seeing a lot of discussion around 94.5mm shells and the platforms currently available to use said shells has given me an idea for a suggestion or two.
Obviously, a lot of people are upset about the mobile 94.5 platforms in the game one way or the other, whether its Collies complaining about the Lordscar or Wardens complaining about Stygian Bolt. I've seen a lot of discussion back and forth about what should happen to each platform, why one is more or less unbalanced than the other and so on and so forth, but one discussion I saw, from a user whose name I can't recall, was that 94.5 would be much better as a defensive only munition. I thought, personally, that that was a great idea. Removing 94.5 from mobile platforms would avoid the common complaints of "oh but Stygian is invisible in the bushes!" or "But the Lordscar is just a harder to kill Stygian!"
What it would look like is either redesigning or replacing the Stygian Bolt as an emplaced anti-tank weapon, and limiting 94.5 on both sides to only be usable by Starbreaker and the redesigned Stygian EAT. Obviously this would mean the Predator would have to get a new shell for its gun, or the Ares would have to change from 75mm to 94.5 to remain equivalent, as even though super tanks are exorbitantly expensive, letting Wardens have the monopoly on mobile 94.5 would be unfair.
The user who gave me the idea to make this into a post made a good point how 94.5 makes an excellent tool for emplaced guns, acting as a force multiplier that can stall tank rushes until an armored QRF arrives, making the opposing side rely on indirect fire or infantry to continue an advance for siege tanks or tank lines. The user then made the point that mobile 94.5 platforms can make tank lines or QRFs exceptionally good at either simply overpowering counterattacks, or easily rolling through opposition, promoting the tank line meta and standoffish poking at the expense of infantry. Putting 94.5 on a stationary platform allows you to set it up to create areas that encourage use of more tools in a factions arsenal or for infantry to get involved, which, IMO, is a good thing!
As for what to do with the Lordscar if it would lose out on having 94.5, there are a number of options, but admittedly, I haven't spent a ton of time thinking of them.
My first thought, if it was to remain a tank destroyer, would be to give it hv68 or something like that, so that it could continue to take the role of a tank destroyer, though that feels like it steps directly on the toes of the Noble Widow a little too much.
Another idea is to change it from 94.5 to give it 75mm in the main gun, but I personally don't know that that's a great idea.
However, a final idea, one that I discussed with a friend of mine, was to completely change the role of the STD, and change its gun into a mobile artillery piece of sorts, perhaps 120mm, and make it an artillery tank instead of a tank destroyer, which I think would be a very fun idea to play around with, though the balancing of that would remain to be seen. This post was mostly just made to be a really late rambling of thoughts about 94.5 from a person with limited experience, positive or negative, about it, so take everything said with a grain of salt, and remember this was written by an idiot.

Hi AdultingPH. New to reddit. I just want to gather some insights about my long-term relationship.
Background of our relationship. I'm 27M and my SO is 26F. We were college friends that turned lovers. We've been together for 3 years. It took me almost 3 years itago yung feelings ko sa kanya before formally courting her in our adult years. So let's say na antagal kong hinantay at pinagdasal na magkachance kami to be lovers despite feeling na baka hindi niya ako gusto. I still waited for years to tell her how I feel.
Then, here comes the first year at naging kami. Sobrang saya ko. Everything is so perfect ang saya namin. You know, the chase part. Naginsist din ako ipakilala niya ko sa parents niya agad kasi ganun ka-clear intentions ko sa kanya. Sobrang mahal ko siya. All those years I waited feels worth it. Sobrang masaya lang na halos araw araw we shower each other with love. You get it. She's the girl of my dreams kumbaga. Dream come true. Answered prayer.
Here's where ugly things started. Before we celebrated our first year. I found out that she lied to me about being a virgin. She came from a long-term relationship so somehow inexpect ko naman na hindi. But I just found out na she lied to me about it at of course, being from a past relationship din na full of lies, na-off ako. Being lied to, parang ung memories namin became stale na hindi genuine at kasinungalingan lang. I felt so hurt. But napagusapan namin somehow napatawad ko naman siya agad. I almost told her na I wanted to break up but she begged for me. Lumuhod pa siya sa harap ko habang umiiyak. Ayon tinuloy lang namin at nagkapatawaran. Then, another away before our first anniversary. I got female friends sa new job ko. Batchmates ko sila so naging friends ko na din. Magkaaway kami one night then nalaman niya nakikipaglaro ako ng online games sa said female friends and accused me of cheating on her. Ayon. Basta then nabasa pa niya chat namin nung friend ko na yun where I told na galit na siya kakalaro ko. She felt upset dun. Although di ko naman intensyon and friends ko lang talaga mga yun. I almost had to cut of these friends para lang di na siya maparanoid. That's the end of our honeymoon stage ika nga nagkalamat na.
Just another background lang din. We both came from long term relationship with cheating partners. At meron din akong history ng cheating na alam niya which is naisip ko din baka maging factor for her to not like me pero di naman.
Then, 2nd-3rd year of relationship. I summarise ko na lang. (1) She started to be, i don't want to say "controlling" pero parang ganun. She gets upset when I spend time with my friends. Dumating sa part na tinanong ko siya na gusto ba niyang mawalan ako ng kaibigan. It's ugly. Ilang beses namin napagawayan. I always play online games with friends na halos matigil just because nagupset siya most of the time. Btw, she's introvert and on wfh kaya halos wala siya social life compared to me. (2) Mahilig siyang magsilent treatment na bigla na lang niya akong hindi papansinin buong araw or half of the day then manghuhula na lang ako why. Kumbaga parang I'm walking on egg shells na. Hindi naman ako manghuhula pero ayon. Parang kulang kami sa communication talaga. when I ask her why usually di sinasahot hanggang sa maging okay kami. Then the issue will be swept under the rug na lang. Nagaccumulate na lang yan hanggang sa andami na namin di nagpaguusapan. Pag okay naman kami masaya naman. We spend time together, we laugh together, my happy times kami marami. It's just that nagpile up yung unresolved issues.
Here's what happened recently. For a month yata yun, she stopped telling me "i love you" then ginaya ko na after a week. Although we talk na parang okay lahat pero wala nang iloveyou. We Still spend time, have sex ganyan. Turns out na andami niyang hinanakit na recently lang niya nilabas lahat. Eto yung unresolved issues na nga niya. I mentioned she's not good communicator kaya sa chat lang niya nasabi mga hinanakit niya. Gaya ng hindi na kami sweet, we don't talk about our future, yung mga pinagseselosan niya, dami. The way I act around her. Yung mga bagay na kung sana napagusapan namin nang maaga di sana naipon. Pero tao lang kasi ako. Hindi ko alam irereact. Parang main na trigger niya is hindi na ako kasing sweet ng dati. I told her na ever since our first fight before ng first anniversary namin and add pa yung mga naging issues namin sa ibang bagay nafed up na ako at nasanay sa ganito lang. Mahal ko siya eh. Pero parang nakakapagod siyang mahalin.
To add lang, nagkaroon ako ng condition that caused me to have long employment gaps so depressing kaya nakadagdag din siguro sa challenges namin. But okay naman she's still supported. At recenly nagkaroon na ulit ako ng maayus na trabaho. I'm happy and meet new people. Kaya lang recent issue namin, iniinvite ako sa outing at she said na di siya comfortable. Eto eh habang nagchat siya sakin ng lahat ng unresolved issues sa relasyon namin. After few weeks from that okay naman kami. Ang sweet namin sa isat isa until naisip ko na pumayag na sa gusto niya na wag na ko sumama pero I asked here how about sa mga susunod na invites na marereceive ko. Pero sabi niya, sumama na daw ako kasi iyun yung tama. Wag ko na daw kunsintihin pagtoxic niya. Ok naman kami somehow.
Current stage namin is we're testing the waters kung itutuloy pa namin relationship namin after all these issues. Sabi ko sa kanya okay lang sakin if ituloy or not. Maiintindihan ko. Mahal ko naman siya. At legal kami both sides nakoconsider ko din. We're generally happy naman it's just that these recurring issues at considering our future na lang din. Naninimbang din naman siya kung itutuloy pa ba given na baka magrelapse lang mga away namin which is parang di niya sure.
Ang haba sorry. I may have left some details pa pero ayan na lahat naisip ko while typing these.
TL;DR Unresolved issues is taking a toll in our relationship. GF has toxic behaviours towards me spending time with friends. Can this be worked out? Is it worth it?

Hi everyone! I'm looking for a potential friend, one or two. Hint: that's you. (not looking for quantity but quality) I want to make real friendships here. Ones where we could call every so often.

Hi everyone! I'm looking for a potential friend, one or two. Hint: that's you. (not looking for quantity but quality) I want to make real friendships here. Ones where we could call every so often.

I cannot remember it all exactly, but it was between the years of 2007-2015 in the Carrollwood location in Tampa Florida. In the far right corner of this Chuck E Cheese was a game that was a top down type of shooter. What I can remember from it is four players can play at once, and you either moved a joystick or it has a blue nub in order to aim this type of gun (although the blue nub may be me misremembering). The one thing I mainly remember is the final boss, which was this turtle that has flashing purple squares on his shell which you had to fire at to break. The last person to break the purple squares (regardless of how much damage you did to it) got all of the tickets.
A lot of assets remember me of the newer game that's there, Harpoon Lagoon, however it is NOT that game.

Bringing a fresh duck from the marshes to the table isn’t easy by any stretch of the imagination. And if you’ve been duck hunting for any length of time, you know that you want every edge possible to bring that winged entrée for the sky to your plate.

Shotgun shells come in a variety of flavors, but if you’re looking for a nice tight pattern that won’t break the bank, then make sure to get some Winchester Drylok 12ga #3 Super Steel 3" Magnum Shells for your next duck hunt.

Winchester Drylok Super Steel Magnum #3 1-1/4 oz

Specs

• Muzzle Velocity: 1,400 fps
• Projectile: Steel
• Weight: 1-¼ oz

Pros

• Affordable
• High Velocity
• Non-toxic
• Easy to find

Cons

• Some prefer premium options

Why We Chose It

When we think of the best shotgun shells for duck hunting, naturally, we look at Winchester. Winchester has provided generations of hunters with reliable, high-quality rounds, and the Winchester Drylok Super Steel 12 gauge shells definitely pay homage to this legacy.
But the name alone doesn’t make this shotshell the best for duck hunting. Waterfowl hunters need ammo that performs well in adverse weather conditions, has a tight pattern, high velocity, and are affordable and easy to find.
As lead shot becomes more regulated, having a good steel shot round is essential to legally blindsiding mallards and wood ducks every time you pop out of the duck blind. As duck hunters are often hunting from the water or even a boat, the double-seal wad system means your powder is always dry and ready to go whenever you squeeze the trigger.
The 1,400 fps muzzle velocity and 1 ¼ ounce payload are more than enough to fell ducks up to 40 yards away with relative ease.
The Winchester Drylok is a tried-and-true design that won’t let you down in the field. Although some duck hunters prefer more exotic loads, you can’t go wrong loading your favorite duck gun with 3" magnum Winchester Drylock ammo!

Hevi-Shot 12 ga HEVI XII 3" #4 1-1/8 oz

Specs

• Muzzle Velocity: 1,500 fps
• Projectile: Tungsten Alloy shot
• Weight: 1 1/8 oz.

Pros

• Dense payload
• Tungsten shot
• High velocity
• Excellent grouping

Cons

• Availability

Why We Chose It

Ask any modern duck hunter which shotgun shells are best for honker hunting, and you’ll surely get plenty of recommendations for the HEVI-XII. This exquisitely designed shotgun shell includes tungsten shot that is denser than steel and safer than lead (which is probably illegal where you live for duck hunting anyway).
Tungsten shot is denser than bismuth, steel, and lead. Which means the HEVI-XII payload gives you a lot more bang for your buck. This means that HEVI XII shot has a density of 12 g/cc (grams per cubic centimeter) which is around 53% more dense than steel shot.
This translates to more pellets on target, deeper penetration, and more trips out into the lake for your hunting dog to retrieve all the ducks you’ve nailed.
Although HEVI-XII can sometimes be hard to find, most duck hunters will tell you that it’s worth the price of admission as this shotshell simply works every time!

Federal Black Cloud TSS 3" 20 ga #3 & #9 1 oz

Specs

• Muzzle Velocity: 1,350 fps
• Projectile: Tungsten/Steel
• Weight: 1 oz.

Pros

• High quality
• Non-toxic tungsten and steel shot
• Higher Density
• Tight pattern through most chokes

Cons

• Only available seasonally

Why We Chose It

Although we typically recommend a 12 gauge shotgun for duck hunting, Federal Premium Black Cloud TSS ammo is one low-recoil option we will make an exception for.
Combining #3 and #9 shot in one hull, the Black Cloud TSS (Tungsten Super Shot) maintain their velocity farther, penetrate deeper and hit harder than any waterfowl payload has before.
The secret to the lethality of the Black Cloud TSS lies in the Flitecontrol Flex wad, which opens from the rear instead of the front like traditional wads. The result is incredibly dense and repeatable shot patterns that have an effective range past 50 yards through all standard waterfowl chokes.
Comprised of 60% heavyweight TSS pellets and 40% Flitestopper Steel shot, the Black Cloud TSS shotshell unleashes a swarm of shot that leaves no chance of escape for any drake that finds itself in your sights.
Although Federal Black Cloud TSS is only available seasonally, it is well worth the price of admission if you are serious about duck hunting.

Kent Fasteel 2.0 Precision Steel 12ga 3-1/2" #4 1-3/8 oz

Specs

• Muzzle Velocity: 1,550 fps
• Projectile: Zinc-plated steel
• Weight: 1 3/8 oz.

Pros

• Safe in fixed choke barrels
• Non-toxic
• Tighter grouping at longer distances (depending on choke, of course)
• High-quality
• Versatile

Cons

• Availability
• Cost

Why We Chose It

If you’re serious about shotgun hunting, then you’re probably well aware that Kent makes phenomenal shells for all sorts of activities. With multiple loads for turkey, goose, upland game, and deer hunting, Kent truly has a shell for all seasons.
But if you’re looking to whack some waterfowl out of the sky quickly and efficiently, then Kent Fasteel 2.0 is what you need to load in your duck gun.
Development of the Fasteel began around the wad, which has proven time and time again that it can produce boringly repetitive shot patterns in both semi-autos and in cold temperatures. A tight pattern is essential for putting down descending mallards ethically and quickly.
Kent Fasteel 2.0 was developed with duck hunting in mind, as the shot is zinc-plated while the head is nickel-plated. This adds a level of corrosion resistance to your ammo that ensures proper feeding and function in even the worst conditions.
Although Kent ammo is sometimes hard to find and will blast a few holes in your wallet, the incredibly consistent performance keeps dedicated duck hunters coming back time and again to load their shotguns with Kent Fasteel 2.0.

Remington Nitro Steel 12 ga 3" #4 1-3/8 oz

Specs

• Muzzle Velocity: 1,300 fps
• Projectile: Steel
• Weight: 1 ⅜ oz.

Pros

• Affordable
• Lead-free
• Consistent performance

Cons

• Some premium loads perform better

Why We Chose It

If you’re looking for a low-cost, no-frills round that will bring home the duck, then you can’t go wrong with Big Green.
Remington’s Nitro Steel line of duck hunting ammo is nothing special to write home about. However, when you need a round that simply works then Nitro Steel will get the job done.
Although it lacks a lot of the special features offered by other premium loads, Remington Nitro Steel ammo is consistent and deadly in the right hands. However, we’d recommend that you take it out and test it before duck season this year, just to evaluate how it patterns in your shotgun.

Browning Wicked Blend 12 ga 3" #2 and #4 1-1/4 oz

Specs

• Muzzle Velocity: 1,450 fps
• Projectile: Steel & Bismuth
• Weight: 1 1/4oz

Pros

• Steel and Bismuth shot blend
• High velocity
• Works well with most chokes

Cons

• Availability

Why We Chose It

We’ve got to hand it to the marketing department at Browning for providing an absolutely amazing name for such an excellent duck-hunting shotgun shell.
The Wicked Blend is comprised of 70% zinc-plated steel and 30% copper-plated bismuth pellets. Combining the denser bismuth with plated steel means you’ll get a good mixture of dense payload at an affordable price.
On top of those benefits, the proprietary Wicked Wad increases pattern density for those long downrange shots. We found this load to be extremely versatile, working well for both duck and goose hunting.
Although this ammo might be a little hard to find, if you can get it you won’t be disappointed when you unload on a flock of descending waterfowl.

Hi everyone!
With the season finale at an end and the final AMA all done and dusted, it’s time for our traditional year review! It’s been a year of huge upsets and crushing losses, with the sub roaring into action and, sometimes, showing its sensitive side. With some help, we steered clear from most confusion although miscommunications weren’t entirely avoided.
We gained new heroes, with teams surprising friend and foe, sometimes leaving everyone speechless or otherwise nervous in this awesome version of rock paper scissors. As long as we abided our Patron Saint however, we knew things were going to be okay.
Some interesting numbers for you:

• 57211 - the amount of subscribers we had at the start of Season 7
• 39 - the amount of AMAs we had this year
• 13 - the amount of pizza places Dan from RIPperoni recommends
• 5 - the amount of reports this excellent April Fool’s post got for 'being misinformation'
• 66.9 - the percentage of fights the sub correctly predicted this season (as opposed to 70.9% last season
• 1 - the amount of episodes the sub had a perfect prediction of
• 4.1 - the percentage of people who predicted the upset of Horizon over Shatter which now holds the record of biggest upset since the polls began in Season 3
• 2 - the difference in votes in the most evenly split poll of the season (Capt Shrederator v HiJinx, 49.8 % v 50.2%)
• 100 - THE PERCENTAGE OF MARTIN MASON’S AWESOMENESS OH YEAH
• A lot less than 100 - the percentage of Kenny’s paycheck remaining after this season
• 9.3 out of 10 - the score you gave Season 7. This is the highest score you’ve given any season to date.

Then, last but least, our highly-coveted awards:

The Madcatter’s Plow Award

for Best Art posted on the sub this season
In a season where we once again had great creativity flowing through the sub the 2022 Madcatter’s Plow Award goes to u/Iainiscreative for his spectacular rendition of a fiery exchange between Minotaur and Free Shipping. Stand up and be recognized!
Honorable mentions go to u/Hotkoin for his hilarious comic series, u/CalebRobotArt for doing the 2021 roster, u/throwaway7782929992 for some comic relief u/bbadgerworkshop for these RPG monsters and u/HauntedWatson for his superhero design. We’re looking forward to seeing your work next season, people!

Best Thread of the Season

Being partial to some great dry humour, this award goes to no other than u/jon-in-tha-hood for presenting this highly accurate Fight Card during the 3 week break. Honorable mention to the folks of Team Omega, who didn’t leave any doubt about the nature of their team.
Then now, the results of this year’s Vote of the Season! Nearly 1000 people chimed in this year, making it by far the most popular vote of all time.

The Prospect of the Season

for Debuting Team voted Most Likely To Succeed Next Season
Taking the mantle from Glitch last year, the team of RIPperoni was nearly unanimously (95.4%) voted as most promising for next year. Pizza, pizza, pizza!

Best Driver of the Season

Perhaps unsurprisingly after what he's put on display this year, a record-breaking majority of you (44.5%) went for Giant-Nut winner Jamison Go from SawBlaze. u/TheVariableConstant take a bow! Last year’s winner Daniel Freitas takes the silver with 19.6%, and Kevin Milczewski of Claw Viper completes the podium with 14.8% of the vote.
…and then now the award you all have been nominating participants for as the season went on and will have an actual, physical copy of it shipped to its winners:

The 2022 I-Didn’t-Hear-No-Bell-Prize

for Best Fight of the Season
We had a lot of great fights this year, with Fusion standing out initially with great displays against both Witch Doctor and Emulsifier. Claw Viper was turning some heads as well (being one of only two teams nominated four times) and Minotaur v Cobalt from Episode 7 was pegged as the winner very early on.
Unfortunately however, the tournament stages were still to begin. The knockout rounds saw some nailbiting action too, condemning Cobalt v Minotaur to the second place in this year’s vote with 14.7% of you voting in its favor. The quality of this year’s knockout rounds is perhaps best illustrated by the title fight between SawBlaze and HUGE taking third place with 13.2% of the vote - it tells you all you need to know about the quality of this year’s finals.
In the end though, the majority of this year’s No-Bell-Prize vote went to the ultimate showdown between two of the best drivers in the game: the Quarterfinal fight of Minotaur v SawBlaze, with 27.9% of you voting in its favour. Congratulations! This means the SawBlaze team can add yet another piece of silverwareaward to their trophy cabinet, and Team RioBotz is the second team to win the No-Bell-Prize back to back after Rotator did it first. The teams have been contacted, and we’ll let you know when the awards arrive.
So peeps, that’s about it. Naturally there will be some Battlebots Champions episodes later in the year but for now, it’s time to put this season to rest. A big thanks go out to you, the fans, for making this all memorable. Sure there has been some controversy again (as is tradition) but it’s been a blast doing the pre, post and LIVE threads with you, doing the POLLLLSSSSSSSS, setting up the AMAs and watching everyone be so engaged with the show we love. We hope you enjoyed all of it.
Roll on Season 8World Championship VIII! We’ll probably get the new Rumor Mill up some time after the weekend. See you there!
Your battlebots crew

Hi Everyone,
I(32 M) from Bengaluru(India) have been working in a MNC for past 7 years, in the role of a QA engineer(3 years), Test Automation Engineer and have experience on CI/CD . I have worked mainly on Jenkins, Robot framework, Kubernetes, dockers, basic shell scripting as my product required so and and I have designed and developed few test frameworks which along with our main product is a deliverable to customer and generates revenue. I don't consider myself technically strong but I make up for that with persistence as I have been regularly assigned with PoC kind of projects. This has given me good learning.
For past 2 years we are witnessing organisational changes, where in our work life balance has gone for a toss. I have been working 14-15 hrs every day and due to release pressure we are constantly being forced to work even on weekends without any benefits. Along with this I have to mentor 2 colleagues who take up 50% of my time as I'm leading this project and am responsible for the deliverables.
Now considering all this work, I feel completely drained physically, emotionally. There are no elements to my life other than work which I wake up to everyday. Recently My Manager has been abusing the hell out of me, pouring in more work and playing all sorts of mind games. We have a scrum meeting where he abuses me for all the good, bad and the ugly. Never appreciated for the good things but always finds time and space to criticise. I understand that's how corporate life works where in they push us into the corner to get more work out of us. I just make $17k(Rs.14lpa) for all this emotional turmoil and 80% of my earnings goes towards my home loan.
Yesterday he messaged me for a status update and I mentioned about the opertaional challenges we are facing and requested for an escalation and support. Contrary to helping me, he mentioned that I was in-subordinate and always delays the work and threatened me of removing me from the project which i developed from scratch and contributed extensively which other teams are also making use of. Frankly speaking he has idea what's the background I go through to get work done, but he chooses to ignore that and rant everday. I have developed severe anxiety, depression over the last 2 years and waking up everyday is a big pain in the a**. I have been on and off meds and have observed that anti-depressants completly steal me of myself. So I dont use them anymore.
Considering this toxic environment, low pay and most importantly seeing everyday of my Life going towards these horrible humans ego satisfaction in corporate I want to quit my Job on Monday morning. I understand getting another job and then putting down the paper would be saner idea, but I don't think I will have any sanity in me going this way.
All this may seem like ranting, but I have no one i could talk to comfortably about this. So don't judge me, just a spiritual being struggling in human form.
Im not sure I will get another job in the market with current recession, I'm not sure how I will manage the home loan and I'm sure my parents will not be okay with this.
Kindly request you all to help me get a better perspective with all these things happening as everything is overwhelming now. Thanks!
TL;DR: My manager is a pure breed c*nt, my raging anxiety/depression due to this is taking life out of me, want to quit my Job.

Wanted to start this off by talking a bit about myself. I’m 18 years old, Hispanic, weigh 150 pounds and am 5’10. Currently in my second semester of college studying computer science and have been enjoying it thus far. Don’t have many hobbies, but I do have some interests like gaming, I keep up with season anime, and have been trying to get into reading more. I’m an avid listener or both rap and RNB but have been working on expanding my music taste (so please give me any music recommendations you might have).
Onto the actual post. What I’m looking for is what’s said in the title, someone who is patient to teach me what it means to have sex and to please their body. I’m open to whatever, be it a relationship, a one time thing, or even a FWB situation. I don’t have any preferences, but Asians and latinas have my heart. Just trying to break out of my shell and to be more comfortable in my body.
Feel free to message me if interested, and send a selfie so we can exchange photos. We can get to know each other first before doing anything if that’s what you want. Hope to hear from you soon!
