Fuck yeah therapy! Be patient, it takes time. But every time you go, you’re growing. It’s like lifting heavy weights at the gym - just once won’t make you ripped, it takes consistent work to achieve your goals.
Also, don’t be afraid to shop around for a different therapist if you don’t click with this one. It took me five or six therapists before I finally found the perfect fit.
Oh man, I remember watching that for the first time. It was nighttime and there was a thunderstorm. The exact moment that a character’s fingernails were ripped out there was a massive thunderclap and my power went out. I’ve never before or since screamed in horror.
Very informative. I wonder why Nintendo went with such a poor-performing display. Maybe to get users onboard with the inevitable refresh model?
Life, uh, finds a way.
What sort of third places exist in other countries? I’ve always wondered. I’m in the US and we have a lot of parks, most of which have benches where plenty of folks go to eat lunch or gather, but that’s only feasible when the weather is nice. It would be amazing to have a third place with heat or AC where you can hang out. The library works in some cases but obviously you can’t eat there and you have to be quiet.
Having played other MMOs does not make you qualified to have an opinion on a game you’ve never played. FFXI does have a grind, but it is unlike any other MMO out there. The intensity of trying to time your weapon skills and magic to land at exactly the right time, the dance-like coordination with your teammates, the variety of enemy strengths and weaknesses, learning a basic programming language to write macros and having them work flawlessly in a pinch - everything about it is exciting and you have to be at the top of your game to succeed. Every single mob fight feels like a boss battle and every kill is a win. Top that with some of the best writing of any Final Fantasy game and it’s a winning combination and technical marval that I cannot believe was achieved in 2003.
You may as well be saying that Dark Souls is nothing but a grind, but you’re missing that the grind is the fun part.
You clearly have not played FFXI.
Hop on HorizonXI! It’s a very populated classic server.
I snagged Steins;Gate for $3. I’ve never played a visual novel before and I’m not sure if I’ll like it, but I’ll give it a shot.
Final Fantasy XI. It’s been online for over 20 years and still has a devoted player base. The game’s scale is so epic that many people still haven’t beaten the expansions.
When it came out it was so far beyond what we had seen in an MMO before - The only competitors were UO and Everquest, but the graphics, music, complexity, and storyline were miles beyond those games.
It’s a game with unimaginable depth of play that takes years to master - not like the hand-holdy easy games we get nowadays. Truly a gem the likes of which we will never see again.
Seems like things are functional now. I imagine the servers got hit hard during the start of the sale.
Pretty sure this is the exact pair shown: https://misterfreedom.com/products/scuba-trunks-olive-cotton-sateen
Have you guys been together for a long time? If so, it might be worth struggling through his last year of studies together. If this is a fresh relationship, though, it may be easier to just set it aside until he’s more available.
It’s the best book I’ve ever played!
I used to watch a streamer who ended every stream with the phrase “humans are just house plants with anxiety” and that always resonated with me.
That form factor looks quite awkward for one-handed use. OG Blackberries were amazing because they were the perfect size to do things quickly one-handed, but you could switch to 2-handed typing for longer messages. I think it will be tricky to capture that kind of flexibility in a modern phone because the screens are so large.
Use SteamDB to check price histories. Steam Sales often present the lowest historical price on any game.
Castillo, who moved to the U.S. from Ecuador in 1993, said he has no problem understanding English but has been watching videos to study industry terms. “Some words I don’t understand, but I try to learn more English,” he said.
Asked whether he supports the president’s executive order, Castillo said he voted for Trump
Smh.
Same here. Nobara was too glitchy so I switched to Bazzite and love it so far. Sigh.
In my case I felt like my other therapists could never understand me on a deep level because they were too “normal”. Once I found a therapist who was a huge nerd and understood how my identity as a nerd shaped my life, everything clicked into place. (Bear in mind that I grew up in a time when being a nerd was considered a bad thing). He also specializes in LGBTQ+ care so he was able to understand my transition easily.
Basically it just makes sense for me when he asks “How did that make you feel?” And I can respond with “Like rolling a 1 on an easy DC check.” and he gets it.
