An old boyfriend of mine joined the Air Force while we were dating. It’s not a easy conversation but just try to keep an open mind. I hope you two come to the right decision 🙂

Just the fact that he is including you in the decision says a lot. The only piece of advice I’m comfortable giving is to say that you should tell him exactly how you feel. Not as a way to sway him one way or another, but as a way to make sure you both hear/say what is going on inside your mind. I wish the best for you both!

I absolutely get that it’s frightening and long distance is difficult… but if he asked for your opinion he’s still contemplating whether or not to go, and he’s considerate of your feelings. I really hope you two can work it out ❤

10 years? I know boot camp is like 2-3 months and he comes home for a little… then he gets orders somewhere. I hope things work out hun ♡

I hope things work out in your favor!


Thanks so much everyone for the replies and the advice. I feel a lot better about the situation now and you were all right who said he’s talking to me about it so wants to include me in the decision. We talked and I don’t think (I hope) he’s going to do it. It wouldn’t be for another year or 2 anyway so there’s lots of time to still think and talk about it until then. Panic over, haha.

Having a small panic…

The guy I’m seeing, who I really really like, just asked me if I would be angry if he enlisted in the marines. I told him I wouldn’t be angry but I’d be pretty sad but like I have no idea what that even entails. So I asked him how long he’d have to be away for and he says he doesn’t know but it would be for like 10 years with time off and I’m just???. That’s such a long time? I don’t know if I could cope with that tbh. I’ve done long distance before and I said I’d never do it again because it’s just so hard.

And like, how dangerous is it as well? I don’t even know, I never liked the thought of someone I know or a partner being in the military, I said to myself that I wouldn’t accept that and then now? I don’t know guys, I feel really sad and I’m just freaking out a bit.

It’s not something that will happen soon anyway, like at least a year (I hope) so it’s a lot of time to think about it (both of us) and I hope he changes his mind because even the thought of it just makes me uncomfortable and sad.

We’re in the middle of taking about it rn but we’re both at work so it’s really difficult and I guess it’s making me even more anxious and just feel sick ugh

Hey! Um just a quick question: Why do you (and many others) take screenshots using fraps or other programs and not the in-game function? I read in your FAQ that you size them down to 720p from 2160p.. Reason I’m wondering is cuz I use the in-game function and also get a size like 2160p (can’t remember exact size, but it’s not small!) so why do you use a program? What’s the difference? :)

Personally, I find I have more control over what I’m doing. The in-game camera is a bit clunky for me and to be honest I’m just used to using fraps as I use it for all my other games as well. It means I can organise everything a lot better as well. I’m not sure about quality as I haven’t compared the in-game camera to fraps but that could be also be a reason.

I resize them down to 720p just because that’s the maximum size Tumblr will host (unless they’ve changed it?) and I can’t be bothered uploading full-size screenshots to another host and linking them like I do on my main blog. It’s just too much hassle.

EDIT: Another reason is if you’re using something like Reshade, the in-game camera will not capture anything that Reshade changes since it’s an overlay. You need to either use the Reshade screenshot function or something like fraps to get those effects.

me…”

I got a hold of someone at ea and they told me that the best you can do is wait it out because it’s in such high demand and that it’s not even available to download yet it will be in a few hours

@cloxface @meisiu

Yep, I got through to them and basically got told the same thing – just to wait. Hopefully it won’t take long because it’s gonna take another 45 minutes for me to download it as well :/

answered your question “Order Error”

me too. I’m currently in queue for a live chat to see if they can cancel my previous order so I can redo it. if there’s a different/easier solution to this I’ll let you know.

Perfect – I sent them a tweet about it as well!

answered your question “Order Error”

I’ve been having the same problem, I’m hoping it’s just one of those “everyone is buying it and you just have to wait” deals.

Yeah I assume it’s something like that. Pretty annoying though that a bunch of people are able to play and we just have to wait :<

answered your question “Order Error”

Oh god i just checked my order history and it says payment pending on it 4 times because i tried to buy it 4 times >.<

Ooooh, buddy, that’s not good! Definitely get onto live chat or shoot them an email saying what happened – you don’t want to be charged 4x!
