Started replying 4 + The Lost and the Damned about a year ago, got a decent ways through then I needed to format my drives later on. Reinstalled them now, the launcher asks if I want to enable cloud saves so I do, but all my saves have vanished now. This isn't the first time this has happened as well, I've had sooooo many saves in this game over the like 10+ years I've owned it and I've lost every single one.

Is there a way you can disable deletion of your cloud saves like what is going on here?

I've been trying for well over an hour now with the max damage minigames streamlined progression enabled and I can't get a single hit in, I've watched all the guides and tried the pause trick (can someone please tell me why it keeps fucking blocking rather than dodging) and I'm just too damn shit to get a single hit in. Can someone please help me just cheat and move on with my life?

Recently found out I'm coeliac and now I can't eat most of the foods I used to love without becoming seriously ill. Been hunting through the "Find Me GF" app to see if there's such a thing as a place that can sell me GF shawarma, but all my favourites like Shawarma King, Lazords, Damasqino, etc don't list their allergens anywhere online. I've got a craving for literally just some chicken shawarma and chips or something, but I can't find anywhere. Chains are obviously better for listing allergens, so I checked GDK and I can have their ketchup and jerk sauce, that's about it.

Any / all recommendations would be super appreciated!!

People are always so surprised when I tell them how often I go on dates and how many people I've been with in the past. They always seem to expect it to be way higher than I tell them but it's just so rare to meet people, and on dating apps I have a conversation maybe once every 2-3 months even if I'm using it daily (but tbf I think they're rigged so you have to pay to get your profile shown but that could be copium).

I used to meet way more people when I was a student, but still it would only be like 1 romantic interest a year maybe 2 if I was super lucky. Now I'm in my mid 20s and work from home so I don't get the same opportunities to meet people like I used to.

Am I doing something wrong or is it just like this these days? People do always say I look way more attractive in person than in photos, but I struggle to take good pictures of myself and even the ones I like of myself people in the past have told me they don't like as much.

It's been over a year now since I broke up with my first proper partner, (who was sadly only physically attracted to me it turned out) and she entered a relationship 6 months after we broke up despite saying she didn't want to date and was aiming to stay single for a while. I was the opposite, I'd felt pretty shitty in the relationship for a while and felt I was mainly delaying breaking up for her sake more than my own. I was excited to get back to dating and to hopefully meeting someone I clicked with better, but I've had 1 date since breaking up with her and it was overall super weird (she did admit she just had a thing for guys with my accent). She was pretty confused when I told her I had only had 1 date since breaking up with her and asked me why I'm not seeing more people if I want another relationship.

So is this normal dating for guys my age or should I try to switch things up? Before anyone says bad things about the apps I will probably agree with them completely, I do think putting all your hopes into dating apps isn't healthy but simultaneously it feels to me like that's how it's done in this era, which I think is a shame overall. Also like I said I work from home, my primary hobby is skateboarding too which is a pretty male dominated sport, I meet loads of new people through that but never romantic partners (and I don't like the idea of picking up new hobbies solely to meet women, I'd rather pick up a hobby I like then have the bonus of potentially meeting someone).

I'm also pretty autistic which feels like it might be relevant. I can mask super well, but then people say I feel fake, and when I unmask fully people think I'm too intense. I've tried to find a good middle ground but my friends say to just be myself because it is a good litmus test for finding the type of people I'd fall for.

I love The Thick of It, and started Veep season 1, but I haven't enjoyed the first 3/4 episodes much. It feels like instead of everyone being savage like Malcolm Tucker, it's about American-style "zingers" which aren't all that funny to me. I generally prefer British versions of comedies, for instance the first 3 seasons of the US office got maybe 1 or 2 laughs out of me. Some people say it gets a lot better after season 1, but others say 1-3 are the peak. Thought I'd ask here rather than the r/veep subreddit as I imagine that sub would be more bias.

I absolutely adore Armando Iannucci, I've seen almost everything he's written and directed, but Veep just doesn't feel like it has the same charm to me, so I'd be curious if that changes in later seasons but don't wanna waste my time like when I watched 3 seasons of The Office.

Edit: I binged the rest of season 1 and I actually found myself really enjoying it by the end, wouldn't have kept watching if not for comments here. I still don't find many of the "zingers" that funny, but I love seeing how incompetent literally everyone is, and it's a blast seeing things spiral out of control. The Danny Chung episode was the first where I truly felt Iannucci's charm, and the rest were all quality going forward! Excited to see the next seasons.

Just unlocked my 9th character slot and got a level 80 upgrade from buying Visions of Eternity, but stuck trying to figure out what class to make. I've got 1 of every class currently (except thief which I've looked into quite a bit but none of it appeals to me sorry thief mains) so no idea what to choose, what do people with so many alts do to decide? Do you just make more of the same classes and give them different elite specs / builds?
