I just started this game and I have a few question, my main question being how do I get a 4 star character (example Yukes) to a 5 or 6 star character? I haven’t been able to pull her again. How do I get better equipment? Is there a way to farm certain materials? Do I need to have one of type of character? Is awakening necessary?

Any general advice would be helpful, my party currently is added as well.

I’m currently in university and need a new bag, my current bag isn’t fitting my needs, it’s not able to my hold my bottle of water despite it being pretty average size. I find it to be uneven with weight, and also hurts my shoulders/ back. I really liked the design of the Herschel kaslo 30L and I’m looking for a bag that has that aesthetic but it’s more reliable and durable. Where I am this bag is about $200 so I’m okay with spending up to that as long as it’s actually a good backpack.

I should also preface I walk a lot during my school days and it also snows a ton here so during winter the trek makes it worse, I need a bag that isn’t too heavy either.

Additional information, I usually carry a 16inch laptop, an iPad, a few notebooks and then a case for my stationary.

It’s in Japanese but is this for the mobile game?

I’ve been with my s/o for 14 years. We got together around 20, and went through a lot of hardships together, but going through that made us go into survival mode and focus on just surviving to the next day. We were put in a difficult situation when we were younger which pushed us into going from exploring our connection to moving in and being the only source of family we both ended up having. Over time our stress took over our lives as we focused on being better and growing. We are now at a point where we are well off, have a paid off house, have a lot saved and have everything we would want but I’m not happy. Our relationship is more like a friendship, we are just room mates, we are best friends we watch out for each other, support each other and take care of each other but have no intimacy. No sex, no touch, and I feel lonely af in this relationship.

She was brought up in a very religious house and was taught that sex was a taboo, and once we started living together our sex life became non existent, we had multiple conversations about sex, where I told her that I felt unwanted by her and that I felt like shit because she never wanted to have sex. Our relationship other than that was good, we both supported each other through a lot. I worked full time while she was in school and she work while I was in school. We took care of our house together we took care of our lives together but we never developed parts of our relationship what were important. We forgot how to take care of each other that wasn’t stress filled or where we needed support. We have been trying to do more date nights and stuff but the issue is that I feel like it’s too late. We had a lot of conversations went through many therapists and I think we are both at a point where we don’t want to work on the intimacy part of our lives. I can’t seem to push myself any more because I did for so many years and I got rejected every time. Every time I told her how it was affecting me and my self esteem, how it was affecting how much I hated myself and I saw no change from her and now I can’t push myself any more because I don’t want to get hurt anymore. I love her, I love her more than anything else in this world, but our relationship is not working. I want more from her, I want to feel seen and I want to feel felt and I don’t feel that way with her. I just feel like we are here because we are too afraid to leave because we have no one else.

And before people ask - we don’t have kids, we split our chores pretty evenly, I cook she cleans dishes and then we split up the rest of the cleaning pretty evenly, if I run the washing machine she runs the dryer type shit. We get paid pretty evenly and have about the same amount of time off and stuff.

I don’t know what to do anymore. I’m tired of feeling this way and I’m tired of feeling lonely.

Edit: I also want to add I don’t want to leave her, I love her so much, I can’t imagine not being with her but at the same time I feel so hurt by her that it’s making me hate myself. Ffs. I sometimes wish that I didn’t have to make that decision and I could just disappear lol.

Edit 2: I had a conversation with her about this, and we are going to be finding another therapist and try to work on this together. We both realize we have issues but we have a strong foundation and I think that we might be able to make it work with a lot of effort from both of us because currently we are both on the negative spectrum of this. So we will need to put in a lot of effort to make these changes.

I’ve been reaching out to my academic advisors for a while but it seems they don’t do 1 on 1 meetings anymore and only answer questions through emails? They just gave me a bunch of useless resources that I’ve gone through that don’t actually help with the type of questions I have. Since when have academics advisors stopped doing their job?

Edit: going through their own site, it says that academic advisors have 15 minute virtual/ in-person meetings. So whether it’s summer time or not they should specify on there. https://students.wlu.ca/academics/support-and-advising/academic-advising/science-advising/assets/resources/connect-with-science-academic-advising.html. Honestly this is absolute garbage, if you have semesters going on during the spring/ summer have your advisors available for conversations.
