@ElderScrolls The first time I made a character for anything was in Oblivion, it was an Orc Warrior with a greyed ponytail that I named Magnus Gragramar, his story was being a war general who was kicked from his tribe for being half human.
Not exactly Elder Scrolls, but I was 5-7 #Oblivion20th

The talking stage with a girl is like laning against a new opponent in League of Legends
you load into lane. no data. no opgg. no idea what this person is capable of
level 1 you're just farming
small talk. surface level. "what do you do" "where are you from"
you're not actually listening for the answers
you're watching HOW they answer
fast reply? aggressive player. trades back immediately. likes short trades.
slow reply? freezing the wave towards them. controlling tempo. making YOU walk up.
long message with questions? 3 wave crashing into you. she WANTS interaction.
level 3 you start testing
you throw out something slightly personal. not a full combo. just a Q to see if it lands.
if she trades back? the lane is active. keep going.
if she backs off? she's not ready. paly the wave. try again later.
now you're tracking cooldowns
how long between texts. does she double message. does she leave you on read then come back.
does she initiate or wait for you to walk up every single time.
you're reading every movement for intent
she randomly goes cold? enemy jungler opposite side, play aggressive
she suddenly gets warmer? her jungler is nearby. play safe or accept the 1 v 2
then there's the moment every laner knows
the all in window happens
something shifts. she says something real. drops the act.
shows you what's underneath the trading sequences.
this is the moment you pull the trigger or you don't
and if you don't?
the window closes. the wave resets.
and you go back to farming safely waiting for summoners wondering what would have happened
but if you DO
the lane is never the same, you lose all priority
that first all in changes everything.
the spacing is different. the energy is different. you both know something now.
every interaction after is built on that one commit
some players farm the entire laning phase. never trade. never all in. never take the risk.
and they wonder why they're stuck in the same elo forever
the talking stage isn't about being smooth
it's about reading your lane opponent well enough to know the EXACT moment to go all in
and not being a pussy when the window opens
Study the Saskio way
ran into edaters in league solo queue earlier
bot lane duo
matching names
the whole setup
and i GAPPED them
15/2/7
enemy ADC went 1/8
enemy support went 0/9
absolutely DUMPSTERED
dove them level 3
made their laning phase HELL
i KNOW what's happening in their call
after the third death she's going quiet
he's trying to laugh it off
"it's fine we scale"
but the energy's DIFFERENT now
fourth death
fifth death
she's not laughing anymore
he's making excuses
"jungler's camping"
"we got countered"
brother you got GAPPED
by me
sixth death and i can FEEL the tension through the screen
she's saying in their discord call
probably "why did you go in"
he's getting defensive
"you didn't follow up"
the classic duo argument
kept the pressure
dove them again at bot tier 2
they barely even fought back
just TOOK it
the mental was BROKEN
game ended 22 minutes
they surrendered
sat in post game lobby thinking about what just happened in their discord
the awkward silence after defeat
him trying to say "it's okay babe"
her giving one word responses
the valentine's day duo that was supposed to be cute
now just RUINED
hope they break up
hope she finds someone who doesn't int lane
hope he finds someone who doesn't tilt after 3 deaths
hope they both realize
edating in league is a CURSE
and i'm the one who exposed it
they went into that game thinking valentine's day duo queue would be ROMANTIC
came out with trust issues
questioning if they even work together
wondering if this duo is worth it
and i?
i walked away with LP
and the satisfaction of ruining valentine's day for two people who still have each other
while i have NOTHING
if i can't be happy
neither can they

i have been saying this for years. I fucking miss slow grinding rep for tabards, toys and whatever other goodies. Hitting exalted felt like euphoria after months of grinding.
I think dailies were such a core part of my memory for WoW and now hearing the word "renown" makes me want vomit. Bring back Neutral, Friendly, Honored, and Revered. Whoever decided to do "renown" needs to bullied.
