I’ve got a problem where I just can’t help myself but go at it every night. It’s been happening for years whenever I get turned on. I can’t just do it wherever I am but if it gets “activated” and I need to do it, I feel sick until I have and I just can’t go through any more underpants or sheets the way I am now. If I get turned on, I have to masturbate and I just can’t “turn off“ or get the urge out of my head. Any advice on how to calm it down and maybe even stop my body wanting it entirely?

Been going back through the games lately and finally got the platinum trophy for part 1, but I use the PS5 edition of that and I had the game hints on the app to help me through whereas that’s unavailable for the PS4 edition of Part II. Does anyone have a guide that they could recommend that takes me through it chapter by chapter giving me a guide to all collectibles and locations throughout the game?

I’ve recently been playing through the first game (PS5 edition, if that’s relevant) on New Game+ mode and I’ve noticed that a lot of things don’t work and therefore I can’t complete objectives and perhaps am unable to get trophies? The main thing and so far the only one I’ve been unable to fix is that toolboxes that I missed in my first play through of the game haven’t spawned in this one while all the other things I missed still have. The first one was in Bill’s stash. I fixed it by loading up my original save slot and doing chapter select, where it did spawn and the game acknowledged the completion of this objective. However, there was another as soon as I began the Pittsburgh chapter (back in New Game+) that also didn't spawn. I went back and did the same thing. It spawned, I got it. Nothing. The game and PS5 don’t seem to know that I completed the objectives and I also wonder now if the lack of toolboxes spawning now will prevent me from being able to fully upgrade all my weapons. I believe there’s a trophy for that? Any help on this matter would be much appreciated.

And I genuinely think it’s one of the greatest games of all time. The first one is still my favourite, but by the end of Part II I realised the preference was merely marginal. Both games blew me out of the water with excellent emotionally driven plots, compelling character arcs and incredible gameplay. If they ever make a third game, I’m gonna be first in line to buy it. Masterpiece series.

Basically what I said in the title, the PS3 edition of my game doesn’t work so well any more and I was thinking I should upgrade to PS4. Of course, just the disc is much cheaper and easier to obtain than a whole new set and I though, why waste my money when I could just reuse what I already have? So to anyone’s knowledge, are the PS4 system and the PS4 edition of the game compatible with a portal from the PS3 edition? The chatacters certainly are so I would hope so. Any help would be much appreciate, thanks!

I like the Pandorica/Big Bang plotline a lot overall and I think the episodes themselves and the buildup is great, but I’ve never much liked how it basically resets the universe. Not only are there massive inconsistencies with it (though largely in fault to later writers, in all fairness) but it just feels like an erasure of some amazing and integral plots. Like before RTD 2, would Donna’s entire plot have been undone before the writers decided to bring her back and ignore the reset? Would Rose have been brought back to the timeline with no memory of the Doctor? Would Captain Jack even still be immortal? Maybe I just don’t fully understand this, it has been a fair few years since I last visited it, but I’ve just never been a fan of how it makes some of the most best and most memorable plotlines basically just disappear and then doesn’t even make the effort to keep the following canon consistent with that.

What a fun show! I went into this admittedly with pretty low expectations. It felt like something that didn’t need to exist and I feel ashamed saying that. I watched episode 1 on May 6th 2025 and finished the finale on May 6th 2026 and boy, am I glad I stuck with it. This show is great!

It started a bit slow, I will say. The first half of season 1 I found just to be a bit silly, perhaps. Felt like it was just going to be constant cheesy fight scenes and exposition. Come the middle of season 1, something just clicks, everything goes to shit, and the season becomes amazing. That was the first showcase of how damn clever this show is. The way it intertwines so amazingly well with the MCU in the earlier seasons is amazing. The way it expands the HYDRA and SHIELD lore, I really enjoy too.

I think the characters are perhaps the show’s strongest aspect. Every single main character, from the righteous Phil Coulson to the villainous Grant Ward has a story to tell. They all have their own unique personalities and their lives both inside and outside of SHIELD are super nicely developed. My favourite, after all seven seasons, is probably Fitz. I feel like his character arc combined with Ian De Caestecker’s performance was the strongest in the series, to me at least. But I love every member of our SHIELD team, Daisy with her powers, May with her attitude… Ming-Na Wen is awesome, these characters are all so beautifully developed and it sets the stakes and my investment in the story so much higher as a result.

It is obviously immensely cheesy. You can feel the first Avengers film in this the whole way through. The cut to blacks I’ve never really been a fan of, but all those one liners and the cool posing, it’s just part of the charm. Part of what makes this show so good. The CGI is also not very good, but I came to be less and less bothered by that over time.

Each season has its own, always super exciting new story to tell. Very often even setting up the next one. Season 6 is perhaps the weakest link, but I still enjoy it a lot. Seasons 4 and 7 are arguably my favourites, but I do really like them all to varying extents.

I think the best thing this show does for itself is that it doesn’t try to do too much. It knew what it was, what it needed to be, and it focused on being just that. Not some massive cinematic spectacle that focuses too much on cool visuals and exciting battles that the main story gets lost under all the weight, this show doesn’t overdo itself and it equally doesn’t play it too safe. It absolutely nails being the exact thing it was supposed to be and that contributed enormously to the experience. I can definitely see myself revisiting this in the near future. Maybe I’ll go through it in less than a year the next time, though…

So I’m sure people will remember how Amy and Rory’s selves from ten years in the future came to wave at them as they arrived in season 5 episode 8.

And anyone who has seen the rest of the show knows that later seasons make this a lot more sad than it initially seemed…

Title says it all really. I’m slightly below the age considered “mature“ be the algorithm, but somehow that means I can’t even view my own accidental NSFW post on my profile and delete it. I’m not exactly sure what I’m supposed to do as I need to edit it but it’s become completely inaccessible. For context, I am referring to a review of the recent show, Maul: Shadow Lord. Any adults viewing my profile may be able to see it.

So I’ll give you all the whole story: I’ve wanted a navel piercing since I was an absolutely tiny little kid. I first saw one at an incredibly young age and have been desperate for one since. Almost a decade went by, and the urge became worse. It started to nag at me, I’d begin feeling sick when I saw one or thought about one and I couldn’t get it out of my mind. It became desperation, I’d binge watch videos of other people getting theirs done and just long to switch places with them. Last year I reached an age where I could go and get it done without parental consent. I could have, probably should have gone and finally got it pierced. But there are enormous issues.

I enormously struggle with confidence. Walking around trying to hide this would be so hard. I don’t want anyone knowing about it, including my parents. If I asked them if I could get one then oh my goodness, they’re such good parents that they would absolutely let me do it. But I’d hate for people to know. Because I’m a boy, it’s hard to do more typically “girly” things without getting stared at. Yeah, I despise the trope that things like this are girly. I hate associating gender with any kind of clothing or looks, it’s so unfair. But I feel like I’d be silently judged for it and I’m also just so embarrassed to even want it that it’s tearing me apart.

Anyway, it comes back up every few days. I get that same feeling of lust and sickness, I just can’t bear it. So I’ve been researching and researching and I suddenly realised that I may not even have the right anatomy to get one. I have a very round navel about 1, maybe 1.5 centimetres deep, but there’s no upper lip. The skin can sort of stretch out when I lean back. Sure, maybe a piercer could make do. I’ve heard there are plenty of different types of navel piercing and ways to make it work without the typical anatomy, but all I ever want it that normal one. Not with a couple of balls on either end of the jewellery, a proper bar with a gem. I just want it to fit perfectly in my bellybutton and look gorgeous. If it worked out, maybe I’d even have the confidence to show it off in public when I’m in an area not so close to where I live.

I don’t even know what to do, I just can’t bring myself to ask for it. Doing it in secret feels way too hard, I don’t know how I’d pay without my parents finding out, and especially treating it would be hard. And even if I did ask, even if I had an appointment booked, I went out, more excited than I’d ever been in my whole life and they told me I couldn’t do it? I’d be heartbroken. I’ve never had a piercing before and apart from maybe an ear in the future, I don’t want any. That’s another big reason, it’s just so weird for me. I adore navel piercings, I obsess over them, but I don’t care about others.

So just how do I go about any of this? Has anyone had the same experience as me ever? I’m just so lost on what to do and how to do it… I would appreciate any help and support anyone could give.
