I’ve spent 5 years wanting to play The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time on my computer. Finally bought a USB to Controller port thing and the buttons were like not mapping in a way that made sense. Change a few buttons and they’re still wrong. Really frustrating lol So I unplugged it and turned it off. I could always play on my Game Cube or N64 but was thinking of streaming it so yeah. I’ll sort it out but had had enough for the day at that point.

Been playing some Marvel Rivals and it’s just like Overwatch but better. Except their ‘Lucio Ball’/Rocket League mode suuuuuuucks and is mega frustrating since the ball detection is janky. Anyway yeah I also hate getting bitched at by damage dealers when I’m the only healer. Or when they run off and die in some random place. Like yeah my person I can’t heal you on the other side of the map while I have a DPS or two tunneling me as everyone ignores that I’m dying.

It depends, but rarely the truth. It only took me 30+ years buy I finally learned that 99.99999% of people asking don’t care. And they really don’t want the truth if it’s worse than ‘so-so’.

Indeed it is. I’ve said before in other posts that it’s insane how you can’t watch local sports without a cable plan unless you watch the NFL. And the NFL is moving in that direction too though the only positive is that if the team is in your local market for the time being you can still see it on broadcast TV unlike the MLB. For me at least I’m not incentivized to pay for every subscription service to get access to games. Nor am I going to pay that insane $80 a month Hulu w/ TV, Sling, etc bullshit that’s just cable TV but streamed.

If I didn’t live in the market of one of the teams (ie it wasn’t on broadcast tv for me) I wouldn’t be paying for Netflix to watch the NFL today. In which case I’d watch the NBA instead. Personally the Christmas NFL games feel pointless. Like it’s obviously just NFL greed (they’re getting a bundle from Netflix) and so far it’s nothing impressive imo.

You have to be huffing some major copium if you think he’s going to help disabled people make more money. He helped prevent (via one of his appointed judged) people getting overtime pay if you make more than $30k. Plus Project 2025 calls for stripping disability and other protections from individuals with disabilities. So no he isn’t going to do anything for the disabled community except make our lives worse.

Oh no! Anyway…

I appreciate that you can get manifested pages without having to grind the base pages elsewhere. They’re still too stingy with the eerie engrams though.

Seeing it again yeah lol

For me a lot of meltdowns feel like spiraling. Unable to communicate how I feel, feeling alone/separated, racing thoughts that run the gamete from anxious to depressing. Typically I want to reach out and connect to someone but I can’t and that makes it worse somehow. It’s scary to deal with especially as a lot of it feels so irrational yet it has a real impact.

I get this, but in my feet. Just have to rub the bottom of my foot on something and hope for the best. Suuuuucks.

Sure someone could bring in a knife and stab people. But the culture around guns (toxic masculinity, using violence as a means to win an argument, etc) are all problems. And at this point the guns are definitely the main problem. We can look at celebrations in other locales and the rates of violence are lower. And most other ‘first world countries’ have stricter rules/regulations on firearms. Trying to act like guns are part of the problem is just burying ones head in the sand. Sure other factors play into the violence, but when you can easily get a firearm and wish to hurt others it’s a lot easier than pulling out a kitchen knife.

Honestly a great rule change. I know the posts you guys changed rhe rule over and they were definitely confusing and near impossible to engage.

I was super into psychology for a time. Even got my degree in it. But living with my mom and being her ‘therapist’ killed psychology for me. Any particular element of psychology you enjoy?

World of Warcraft, but I get burned out like clockwork hah. Anime falls into my interests though I don’t just watch the same show over and over instead I watch a lot of the seasonal stuff. Then between seasons (so like we’re in Winter 2024 currently then going to Spring 2024) I rewatch some of the shows I really enjoy. I like photography but I’m not into photo editing. Food is something that I’m really into even though I don’t follow recipes typically and I don’t have real training. Oh and I can’t stand watching video tutorials on food.

I’m probably really weird in that my interests are all about me directly interacting with it instead of watching someone else interact with it.

That’s my question too. The cops keep talking about how they had 800~ various law enforcement individuals on hand and it still happened. Guns are a blight. Like this was a huge day for KC and the weather is beautiful, but now it’s just another shooting incident.

A lot of the shots in the trailer looked like shots from the original. And the mapping balls, with the same distribution method, felt the most ‘same’. Maybe that’s from a flashback, but it is still an unnecessary movie. Why make a new movie/story when you can do a lazy sequel that you hope cashes in on nostalgia.

The second I saw the drill going down I locally said, ‘why the fuck are you making a Twister remake’. Even pulling out the little wind ball things again. Putting an S on the name like it’s a sequel instead of the remake it appears to be.

They wanted to get rid of Mayfield so bad for Watson. Then have Watson out for most of the season. Browns reaped what they sowed.

Everyone can do some anxiety jutsu lol

My mom has brought it to my attention that I do hand motions when I’m stressing a convo with her. So now I’m aware of it at times. Kind of looks like I’m doing poor imitations of like Naruto hand jitsu stuff. Likely have some other stuff but I’m not aware of them.
