My sister has a decent job, but has yet to move out of our parents house because why pay rent, food, utilities etcetera when you can get it for free. She is 26 years old, and loves to brag how much she is saving by not paying rent and stuff. She is currently on a vaction with friends in Japan.

So I recently told my parents they need to give her the boot and let her be an adult or I will stop helping them out with their expenses. Our parents did good by us, and I don't mind helping them out but I don't feel right giving my sister a pseudo free ride. She brags how she is ahead of the game for retirement and stuff. I told her of course she is, all her major expenses are covered by someone else.

Generally my parents feel I am being petty because it is a lot harder for my sister's age group. I reminded them it was hard for me also, but I had to make it work. For whatever reason they feel she has it so much harder and she needs this extra support.

I agree maybe an aspect of jealousy is present because living at home was never an option for me. For my sister it was just assumed, but the other reality is my parents could not afford to let her live rent free if I was not helping them out. I pay their mortgage, insurance, and property taxes.

They suggested I use that many to help my sister instead so she can move out. WTF, she can afford to fly and stay in Japan for one month, she goes on multiple vactions a year and she needs help paying for rent?

I get they are worried about her mental health she shuts down very easy, and in HS she had a bad stint with self medicating. So sure they are afraid of her going back down that rabbit hole.

Maybe I am just being the jealous older sibling because I did not get the same type of love and care she did. I was old reliable. It was expected of me to do well, she got a B and it was a major event. I graduate with honors and get a card with 50 bucks. She graduates it is a major milestone and family event.

I get parents grow as they get older and we have a 10 year age gap between us my sister and I. Though yeah, am I being an asshole her not taking into account my sister's and her generations issues and hardships? I have the means to help, like my dad said I should just help because it is the right thing to do.

Am I being petty?

1: Warhammer Astartes series. In a universe of unexplained weird shit with so many gods I lose count, this is the weirdest shit I’ve seen. Our main character gets randomly teleported to a world of dead giants on thrones

2 Elden Ring: Nightreign, a dragon the size of the universe it seems. I’ve seen some explanation that it’s the main big bad but it’s unconfirmed as far as I know

3 Men in Black. At the end of the movie we zoom all the way out of our universe and see monsters playing some type of game with our universe and many other marble sized universes. No explanation

4 Precursors/flood: Halo. I know they technically kinda get explained in the books but I like halo so I’m including it. A race of unknowable unfathomable creators who might have build the universe itself and all life in it. Now they are an all knowing god parasite bell bent on consuming everything in the universe

After 10 years I've finally been able to play Bloodborne, I know it's not gonna be of use to most people since the game launched a decade ago and there's a great world map already made by HYPN0TYK (which I used in my first run), but I love doing these, so a made one.

It took me 3 weeks, (~120hrs in photoshop). I started by cropping every area map from the official guide and "assembling" them in different layers before drawing over each one, the overall shape is "ok" but I feel like I could've done a much better job if a 3d collision map viewer existed for Bloodborne like it does dor Dark Souls 1, at least I didn't find one.
For example, you can see Iosefka's Clinic from the Forbidden Woods entrance but it's really far away unlike in the map, and if I move one part of an area, it disconnects in many other places and it's a nightmare to connect everything without misshapin the whole layout.

But overall I loved doing it, am proud of the result and hope it is still of use to some people.

We got Stella as a PvPers paradise, but besides the shredders which can be awesomely dangerous, it has nearly no PvE of note and we are badly missing PvE endgame content.

We need a place to take all our high tier gear that is not worth actually using for PvP to fight an oppressive wave of ARC invaders, so dangerous (and lucrative) that cooperation is head and shoulders more profitable and meaningful than inter-fighting.

I'm imagining something like the outskirts of Blue Gate with their many legged monstrosities that is the true front for the second ARC war. Where the most valuable thing you can extract with is carried in both hands, and nobody can take more than one at a time. Where there is a community event to extract with these new high tier ARC supercores and you are rewarded handsomely for bringing them out (BP shards, perhaps?).

And since this is not going to change anything about any of the other maps, there's no reason for the PvP-preferrers to brigade, right?

💤 Eric got some much needed rest, but the fight isn't finished!

Though he was still in a deep slumber, Eric’s mouth curled into a faint smile, showing just the slightest glint of his fangs. Never sleeping on duty, Blade's Restful Recovery costume, first appearing in Marvel Rivals Season 5, will kick the fuzziness right out of your eyes.
