Man you got me cracking up over here with this, might as well 😂 it really is a fucking circus in there though

The hide and seek in it is still one of my favorite multiplayer games of all time! Pretending to be an NPC just had me cracking up!

I agree that, theoretically, chipping hit points is not accurate battle simulation. I also agree that lore is not story, and basically unless you look up stuff online in most from software games, the story essentially doesn’t exist or is so obtuse and hidden that it’s unfollowable. However, these are still, to me, some of the greatest games ever made just based on the fun of the combat and the sheer beauty of the game & world design. I’m currently playing through Sekiro and it is gorgeous and intriguing, the story is also there and presented better than many of the other games in my opinion. However, this game is also so unrelentingly (realistically) difficult, and lacks viable alternative progression routes that I think most people would just give up on it, to be honest. This kind of defeats the purpose of being such an enjoyable and beautiful game in many cases. So, I think what makes a good game is also very much determined by individual human context.

I’m totally not disagreeing with you by the way, except for the “Chipping hit points… is dumb as shit” piece, which Sekiro actually still kind of features.

I am actually really torn about this one, on one hand I had one episode of back pain that lasted nearly a year, swearing up and down the whole time that chiropractors were basically witch doctors and that I would never go to one. However, when I finally caved and went to one he fixed my issue after two sessions. On the other hand, my more recent back pain was not helped after I saw my chiropractor four times. In addition, I work as a nurse and have now seen at least three patients come in with vertebral dissections, essentially a stroke, that occurred literally right after they had seen a chiropractor for neck pain. Anecdotally, I would say it isn’t worth the risk. Had I done physical therapy and used bought a tens unit the first time I’m sure it would have also fixed it without the chiro, but I was lazy

Kind of similar sounding, I want saw a movie about a guy who jumps over the side of a freeway to try and commit suicide and then ends up getting trapped on a little island under the freeway. He ends up like needing to do a little farm or something down there if I’m remembering correctly. I actually really enjoyed the premise now that I’m thinking about it

Scary how normal this woman looks…

For some reason I always forget about the hard cheese, but it makes eating this way so much more doable for some reason

I dig what you’re getting at here man, however my advice is just get a little propane camp stove. Mine has improved my camping life so greatly I’m kicking myself for not buying one before. It’s not even expensive one and you can cook in no time flat anywhere. That being said Tuna and crackers is a classic, there is a lot more canned meat than tuna and you can get a lot of variety out of crackers.

Nurse ova here

This is the most Internet shit I’ve ever seen!

Yes, my thoughts exactly! I can’t wait to see people have literal aneurysms when they hear about this with their bigot asses! 10 bucks says they are going to try and use their bullshit ass supreme Court to make even more miraculous medical technology illegal

RIP RIF! Me too brother

You sound conservative bro 😂 everyone around conservatives doesn’t understand the world correctly like they should

There are a lot of the same type of communities as reddit, a symptom of so many of us coming over. I looked through my subscribed subs and just searched for fediverse alternatives, they were pretty much all easy to find

I’m in the medical field, so there’s a lot of shit I’ve seen at the hospital, but I would say the real craziest thing I ever saw happened when I was in my early 20s. I moved back in with my parents for a time after I had to give up my first apartment. My parents have always had a bit of an unhealthy relationship, they fight like it’s their job. My childhood bedroom is always next to the kitchen and front room where they would fight, so I heard a lot of it and sadly just got used to it after so many years, though listening to it constantly as a child formed some core memories in there somewhere.

When I was there in my 20s I would mostly hang out in the separate garage, it helps me to feel like I still kind of had my own space. I worked graves, and would maintain my schedule on my days off, playing video games through the night. One night my dad came out randomly and was in an absolute state, telling me my mom had said “maybe divorce” and a couple other things. We talked at length and I thought I had helped him calm down. He left and I was up for a few more hours. I passed him sleeping in his truck on my way into the house to go to bed, it was weird but I didn’t think much of it at the time. Just figured he needed to sleep it off. I had only been asleep a couple hours, when my mom came running, panic screaming into my room at the top of her lungs. She woke me up shaking and yelling that my dad was going to kill himself right now in the garage, that he had the gun and that he said he was going to shoot himself in the face if she tried to stop him. At that moment I saw him passing my room on his way outside. With only a couple hours of sleep ruining my capacity for reasoning my adrenaline went straight from 0 to full blast. I had discovered the nature of their disagreement the night before talking to my dad, so my mouth just ran away before I could think. I sprinted into the hall and caught him by the shoulder , then immediately started shouting all kinds of heinous shit at them about how they were both being “dumb fucks, stupid fucking idiots, immature as fuck” I don’t remember the exact words but you get the gist. These are two very religious people who never would have accepted hearing the slightest profanity out of me in regular circumstances, not even the word “god” or the word “hell” (mormons). So yeah, neither of them said anything they both just stood there crying or stunned and listened to me tell them what big fucking morons they were and how immature they were acting, this went on for at least 15 solid minutes, easily the most cathartic thing that has ever happened to me in my entire life, bar none. At the end they were both just kind of stunned, we had it pretty well resolved and they were both calm and I went back to sleep, a testament to just how tired I was in that moment. The three of us have never talked about it again, I think because it all just got resolved right there somehow. Nothing like it has ever happened with them again according to my sister who still lives with them

Jesus me too. God I haven’t thought about that damn movie in a long time

Yes

Worked them for some years and they literally caused me to start having panic attacks. Hate them.

Wrong!

Preach buddy 🚴
