Eleanor, 26, also uses social media to find footballers, but without success. "It's always English players," she says. "They respond, ask for pictures, you chat—they ask where you live, when are you coming to a game—and then they ask for your number. But when you give it to them, they never, ever respond. It's frustrating because you want that opportunity to prove that you're not like all the other girls."

Eleanor insists she is different. She is high-powered. A city broker, she says she wants a footballer to keep her in the style to which she has become accustomed, and that looking for a rich footballing husband is about being "empowered."

I also wish there was more variation in armor.

Of all the legit complaints you've got, I've never heard this. There's so much variation from crafting (especially since armor isn't just levels of damage resistance, but has real benefits to make different builds). Have you discovered the ballistic weave?

and what positions?

which reminds me, football is really gay

there's tight ends and wide receivers

My first Team sport was Football (AFL). I was always a Spud, but was pretty big for my age group. I was almost always placed wherever the Ball was least likely to be, but told to tackle as much as possible. Our Inter School Sports team won both years (grade 5 and 6) with me as a Defender (a few of those guys were pretty good so the ball never went in our back half). I played Soccer (sue me, it's the correct terminology in my region) a bit and was reasonably good at it, especially as a Goal Keeper too, but never really got into it as my school mates got really mad and started flinging shit at me after endless attempts at Scoring.

In Year 9 (2010) I took up Volleyball and had a pretty good serve that consistently scored points, but I partially tore a few Tendons in my Foot which sidelined me for 6 weeks, and by the time I recovered Volleyball season was over. I took up Middle Distance/Endurance running as a way to aid the rehabilitation of my Leg (it was so skinny by then that the widest point was the Ankle), and eventually got reasonably fit (sub-7:00 1.6 km after 4 weeks' training and 500 uninterrupted Situps that same year). I kept at that for a while until a friend invited me to a Mountain Bike race the next year where I placed 3rd, qualifying for State Champs and placing 11th IIRC. I did the Road Cycling event of that too and finished 4th, but decided to race Road despite the worse result.

So I've been Cycling ever since, and I started doing Track at the end of 2011 too, which was pre fun. I've had a Scholarship with a Sports Academy since 2012/'13, but that's mainly for Training Camps/educating people on how to be smart in competition, and realistically anybody with ambition can get in the Cycling Program. I was on the team that won the Team Pursuit at U19 state Champs in 2013, Bronze at the 2014 U19 Team Sprint Champs, and Silver at the 2014 Team Pursuit Championship. I still ride but haven't gotten any noteworthy results since some C Grade club race wins at the end of 2014. I want to do Road Nationals since they're in my Home town until 2017, but I keep being a piece of shit and not training/fucking up my diet/sleeping pattern. Also it's an expensive af sport in Aus.

I'm thinking of training in Boxing/MMA for base Fitness and to train the muscle groups that I don't work in Cycling. I wanna get to a pre high level tbh fam

Make specialist characters, that's what I do. I got a all stealth character with the Deliverer and a maxed out 44. Magnum for when my stealth is blown. And then I got heavy weapons mcgee who never leaves his power armour. More fun I think than just being a jack of all trades. Not to just assume you do that, but a lot of people do, at least on their first playthrough.

Also I think my settlement building is borked, because whenever I fast travel away from Sanctuary it says it has no resources whatsoever, like all my stuff is despawning. Says everything is 0 except for population, and then that goes down because the game thinks I got nothing there, even though I got 80 water, power and defence with 40 or so food and plenty of beds.

Frustrating because it means it just stays at 60ish and I have to just stand in sanctuary to make it go up at all.

Enemies do get harder the further you go out, but only up until like level 40-50, once you get past that they just scale with you. I have no idea how much playtime I've put into the game, but there's no way I found and did everything, like wow

You should totally get The Witcher 3 if you're still in an open world RPG mood though. Or play Fallout: New Vegas, I'd suggest 3 but honestly it'll be really difficult to get into after having played 4

THEY TOLD ME I'D WIN A PACK OF STEAK KNIVES

Which one is the ugliest?

Gift receipts are normal, regular receipts are considered rude. Just like price tags with the price on it.
Kinda odd to me but whatever. People are afraid of letting each other know how much they spent I guess.
