There's been a decent amount of discussion online that when you are already in a relationship, you've been "vetted" so to speak. Obviously bullshit, as what your current partner may find acceptable can have jack to do with what anyone else finds acceptable. Also, if you have a break up, somehow you're no longer vetted because clearly you have some problems if you had a break up.
It's all pretty/petty bullshit but it's definitely a thing. Even my clueless ass has noticed it. Women are more comfortable around me now that I'm obviously taken (wedding ring). Not that they weren't before, but diving into deep/private conversation stuff at a far faster rate. Like I pride myself on being trustworthy and a good listener, but you gotta chill.
That increased comfort also includes more comfortable to make passes at me. No thanks, wife and I aren't looking for a third.
Oh, that's a deep cut.
For those not in the know, HP meters in Diamond and Pearl (I think also in Platinum, Heart Gold, Soul Silver, and maybe Black and White 1 and 2) were animated based off the actual HP number instead of the proportion visually. So it wasn't "remove 29 HP which is 1/5 of the HP at 3 pixels per frame" it was "remove exactly 29 HP at 1 HP per frame" even if 1 HP was smaller than a pixel.
It meant that HP bars for creatures with more HP literally took longer to animate, even if it was a one hit KO where it didn't have to calculate the remaining health or amount of pixels left to show or anything.
