textbook prices seem pretty crazy, and the fact they rerelease them every year with minor changes to keep the price up under the guise of maintaining a relevant textbook is downright shady

well i've had 3 cigarettes in 5 days probably not going to have one tomorrow either my room is clean and my sheets are clean too and i have one load of laundry
i haven't done anything but sit in my room and feel bad about myself i was feeling kind of good about myself for cleaning a room that had been hikki-levels of disgusting for months and going from 1-2 packs a week to not even a cig per day but my friends are too busy to visit me and i can't leave to do anything fun i just work and sit at my computer that's it that's my life now it's shit
>>388203 Sitting in your room is good! It's be feeling bad about yourself that you should be worried about. I spend most of my time sleeping or sitting at my computer too.

bangu~
i don't even know anymore i was enjoying tarkov but it gets boring alone i mean it wouldn't be so boring alone if i wasn't trying to save gear for using with friends but they said they probably won't play until the 7-day pass users stop shitting up the servers, so probably another week or so
wait they stopped playing because of new players? are the servers fucked or something? >>388213 so everyone is playing the low level maps or something?
bangu~
>>388212 queue times on some of the maps we want/need to play are as high as 30 minutes during peak hours (which are peak hours for a reason, it's when people have time, like me and my friends) there was a holiday event with 7-day passes handed out and the devs severely underestimated how popular the game would be
Shroud streamed it recently and Grimmz started streaming it so it's kind of blowing the fuck up and the tiny dev company wasn't ready
>>388225 Maybe I find my work fulfilling or something because I don't really feel the need to be fulfilled with my me time. I just want to relax and rest and take it easy.

tomorrow is my day off but i wish it wasn't i'd rather go to work than this
>>388226 I find my work fairly fulfilling. It's at least interesting enough that I don't get bored. But I still want to do things on my days off, but most of the time I end up just loafing all day.

why is this getting over it thing so popular with the japanese
Anno
Because it's a sort of dumb absurdity and the game is difficult but understandable. Japanese people love those kinds of games.
Ko-Shi
Getting over it is good. that's why It's popular, period. There's also the possibility that people were buying touhou on Steam and in the indie section they see this game with a buff shirtles s dude in a pot and they thought "sugoi, so kuuru" and bought it since it matches a lot of silliness. that is prevalent in their culture.

People that don't think about the implications of getting a new pet make me a special kind of mad.
she has the cat locked in a tiny room away from everyone else
Anno
My sister, when she was with her previous boyfriend, got both a cat and a dog, the dog being this German shepherd/other energetic, active style dog mix. She lived in an apartment, and while that wasn't be best, she or her boyfriend could manage to take the dog out for a few walks a day to satiate his needs. But then they broke up and between school, work, and her needs she couldn't walk the dog as often as it needs for its lifestyle. It worked out because we've got a good house and plenty of nearby walking area and plenty of people to walk it, but really. It feels like she either didn't care that she might not eventually be unable to care for it and just wanted a dog for the sake of having a dog, or she was so convinced in the enduring relationship she had that it wouldn't be an issue. That sort of thing really gets me annoyed

>>388373 Victorian London is still my favourite set piece of the series, but Egypt has been pretty good too. It's in the Ptolomeic dynasty, about thirty years BCE, so much of the stuff of Egyptian fame is kind of passed. The map is huge, and a lot of it is desert, so there's going to be massive patches of dead space. But it is really pretty dead space. They do a really good job of showing that Egypt is more than just massive dunes of shifting sand. There's also plenty of fast travel points and you can even set your horse or camel or boat to auto-pilot you along roads to get to your destination, so there's a bit of an aspect of "sit back and enjoy the scenery" to going from place to place.
It's a bit more of a n RPG than Assassin's Creed games have been in the past; you see much more of the numbers involved in health and weapon damage, and they've expanded the weapon arsenal massive to cover a variety of weapons each with their own passive bonuses to fighting. It's much more varied than the three stat values of weapons in Syndicate, and all weapons can scale if you have the money to upgrade them, so you're free to pick and choose what suits you best. The combat is a bit more technical than Syndicate, though still not particularly complex, but if you play on the harder difficulties you'll definitely want to make use of dodging and blocking and weapon specials. It makes for somewhat more engaging/threatening fights at least.

>>388378 wow Now i wanna play it just to point out historical inaccuracies

In particular, the Greeks have somewhat moved in forcibly into much of Egypt and have installed themselves as the upper class, more or less. Much of the side quests having you help Egyptians involve you breaking the shackles of near-slavery and sometimes actual slavery under the thumb of Greeks.

>>388506 Fish is a very interesting and particular woman, isn't she?
It's a weird quirky thing like when she dressed that game character in a maid outfit and said the character worked for her even though she played as that character.
That was interesting because we got to see the opinion of a complete novice on whether a character is a self-insert or not. I generally don't think of characters as self-inserts either.
>>388511 I don't think it's really that different. Is it that different than making Snake wear the sneaking suit that hugs his butt the most because he's Snake?
I think she was saying that in a way, the character works for her.
Though my opinion on the matter is that it was really just an excuse and that she was drawn to the maid outfit but her then-normie mind felt compelled to make an excuse for it because it's a little weird. I feel like her actions since then have supported the validity of this allegation.
The girls are both a bit cuter in the manga, unfortunately. The anime didn't quite capture the manga character designs.
>>388521 Of course, because she was a normie with potential! But she was a normie at the time so she didn't know how to deal with it so she made an excuse.
The static between my cat and I has started to reach really absurd levels. There's a perpetual crackling of static going on as I scratch her belly and flank.

i watched one episode of sakura trick and didnt need more
I watched a few episodes since Saku was into it but I think I dropped it around episode 7 or something. I just couldn't handle it anymore. It was so boring.
Anno
I didn't mind it. I didn't have any particular feelings on it. But it was a dull cute girls doing cute things show and I'm not particularly good at getting around to watching those by myself.
It's a cute, low impact yuri/slice of life about a girl who is really tall and also kinda gay who finds out that the super popular pretty girl is also kind of gay.
I don't think there are any with no-kill policies around here.
She said she got the cat because it got adopted once and then the people that adopted it brought it back to where she got it from and she picked it up because she felt bad I don't want it to have to get un-adopted again That'd be so sad

Anno
I've been thinking of talking with my parents about getting a second cat again. It's been more common in my head recently because of how needy she's been lately with the cold weather. Once that passes it honsetly won't be as big a deal. And really, there's no certainty that she'll take to another cat well; she can be a little tetchy.
But also I would totes like another cat, maybe one I can brainwash into being mainly mine.

We get a somewhat more expensive white bread that doesn't have the preservatives and shit they put in Wonder-tier bread. It goes bad fast if you leave it out, but we just keep it in the freezer and toast it when we want it. Other than that we'll just get good bread from bakeries and just make sure to eat it within a day or two. Or my mother will make bread herself. She likes to make bread.

>>388797 Fuck that These cards are expensive for a reason And I got them from packs so it means I made a profiy *profit In general selling your cards instead of trading them is stupid
>>388800 Yeah, it's not really that bad. I also built this computer 2 years ago and I bought a mid-range graphics card, it's quite old at this point.
My computer guy said that my processor was still fine, in fact the only part of my setup that he said was outdated is that I was still using 1080p monitors.
So since the rest of my system is still fine, I can afford a good graphics card for my usual two year update.
I guess I did a good job building this one, since the motherboard and the processor are still current two years later.

I spent about that much in CAD on my 1070 when I built my 1.5 years ago. Hardware is so expensive up here.

Someone else I know for some reason got it into his head that I know my salt on computer parts. He puts together component lists for his friends that want to build PCs and for some reason he keeps coming to me for advice on picking out parts and finding the best components for the target's price range. And I keep trying to tell him I don't really know much about PC building I've just done it once but it keeps happening.
I built this one from scratch about two years ago. I'm pretty happy the mobo and processor are still fine. Usually I have to replace the motherboard around every two years and that means a whole new computer.
I'll probably continue to go with this brand of motherboard since it's been so good to me.
ToN

ToN
>>388811 what brand mine is gigabyte ultra durable
Anno
>>388812 What I don't get is why you skimped out on the graphics card/ It's not like your PC is a work machine or something; you built it with a major purpose of being used to play games, right?
When you're talking to your computer guy, you have to make sure he understands what you want to do. He can't give you good advice until you tell him what your goals are.
Also graphics card technology improves faster than cpu and ram technology So it's the one acceptable thing to skimp on (initially anyways)
Anno
Like I didn't know shit about hardware before putting my PC together for the first time. I still don't think I know shit but I was able to do enough research on my own to know what I needed to put value into and what was important. There's so much material online that can help you with that.

This new chair I got for Christmas rolls really easily over the floor. I push it up to leave my desk and it rolls half-way across the room until it hits something.
I don't consider ADHD and autism to be disorders. They're only considered disorders because society refuses to accommodate for completely natural deviations in neurological functioning.
FormerRei@mobile
>>388853 I get your point But in some cases there's really know way to do that Particularly with low functioning autism *no way
>>388864 for example, you can say "these trees are natural" and it's not wrong but if you say "it's natural that it would happen like that", the context of the statement and the way the word is used are different
saying that something is a naturally occurring deviation is different from saying that something like a disorder is natural the context of the first statement is that there's an inherent element to it, that these people are born with different traits
>>388865 It kind of sounds like it's being used as a near-synonym for "normal" here but "normal" isn't being used because it's an obviously weighted word that has difficult to remove connotations when it comes to psychiatry.
sort of "normal" neurological functioning is generally referred to as "neurotypical" while things like ADHD are called "neurodivergent" well, those aren't actually psychiatric words. those are the words used by people that want to discuss things as if they aren't diseases.
psychiatry just divides things into "normal" and "disordered" and disordered is anything that strays from the norm and causes a lowered level of functioning the problem with that is that many times, like with ADHD, the lowered level of functioning is artificially created by the environment because these people aren't suited for the environment everyone is forced into if you put them into a better environment, they thrive it's like putting short people into a basketball game full of people that are 190cm tall
so ADHD is a naturally occurring deviation from what's "typical" but it's only a "disorder" because society desperately ensures that it is (through carelessness)
Anno
And like with short people, eventually it might get so far off the norm that there isn't really a logistical solution to creating an environment they can ably function in. People that are legal dwarfs or suffer some physical deformity that leaves them at an extremely short height.
the people that are "divergent" are ignored because it's not cost-effective to accommodate for them so it becomes "disorder" because the world is basically rigged against them
Anno
>>388867 Honestly I had to get up from my desk at "like with ADHD" here and as I was getting my tea I was thinking "it's like how you can't blame a short person for being too short in an environment that has been tailored for people of average height; you can't blame ADHD/autistic people for being too X in an environment not suited for them." It's funny how close the analogies ended up.
I guess that just means it's a good analogy, haha.
This is all different from something like PTSD which is "natural" in that it's not artificial or manufactured, but it's not a difference in traits that just occurs. It's something that's imposed on the system, basically.
Maybe they had a change of writing team? Or just flat out ran out of good ideas
Anno
I have zero investment in Black Mirror and I won't be arsed to track where I found this but I heard before the series started the main writer was dealing with a rough situation that probably messed with his mental outlook on life, and that provided a lot of fuel for the material. But by the end of the third season he was in a much better spot in life so it might just be he doesn't have the same focus to produce the content needed for Black Mirror anymore.
Kirara 🚗
>>388885 Definitely ran out of ideas because it's the same writers.
I don't think I'll ever get over the last episode which is just 1.25 hours of torture porn showing people self-mutilating and cutting off their own body parts and shit it was really not cool
>>388890 Wow that is just why category same as waht I shouted at horror movies before paranormal activity "GORE ISN'T HORROR YOU TWATS" and now I shout "FOUND FOOTAGE AND SHAKY CAMS DOESN'T EQUAL HORROR TWATS" well that trend has died out somewhat thankfully
But is great shame since gore can add to horror and found footage can be a real damn good format like say hmm what was taht australian movie called "Tunnel" it had the whole movie narrated in a documentary about their documentary abotu the tunnels with some interviewer interviewing the survivors while some short or longer shots of what they filmed was played in the middle it was really made well and made you sit through the movie, though you knew who would live and who wouldn't
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
and then there are the VHS movies which just are damn golden cause even if the short horror segments played alongside the main story might be bad they are just short enough that you forgive them not that they usualyl are bad just sometimes too ridiculous like >>>/watch?v=Z_iT10FzS-w

>>388929 yeah and there is a finnish documentary about some group that went diving in norway and two of them died and the rescuers failed to get the bodies, so they went back and got them out themselves without permission and then phoned it in that "hey those bodies are waiting for you to pcik them up" the whole group got awarded back home for exceptional bravery or something it is a fun watch and has subs and is in mostly english even I think

i think i might put gray's sword on olivia but i dont know >>388982 yeah kinda
>>388983 Green orbs seem uncommon. I think it decides which heroes are going to appear before it selects orbs. So a spot has a chance of being any hero, and since there are way more red and blues than greens, green orbs are relatively uncommon.
I haven't done BHB yet. I don't think I'll make 99999 points this time either. Guantlet and Tempest being at the same time kinda tired me out.
Not that preference isn't a thing but I think it's a little amusing that you'll grind FEH to heck and back but won't work on granblue weapon grids. Though at least with tempest there's a finite number you're working towards and guaranteed to get closer every time
Anno
>>388985 yes, that is how it works when you choose an orb, you're actually paying the orb cost to uncover the veil and see what the prize is but when the board is constructed, the rolls are made and heroes already decided this really changes the way odds work as opposed to just picking an orb and supposing you have a 3% chance of it being a focus unit
Anno
>>388986 FEH really upped their game it's such a standout mobagay since they started plumping up its content
>>388986 But FEH is not that grindy compared to granblue. Tempest rewards really stop at 40k anyway, and anything past that is just bonus. 40k is really easy to get.
Granblue weapon grid grinding takes effectively forever. You people who have been playing forever are still grinding weapon grids.
Once you get the base grid going your element grid is at least usable. So there's the benefit of incomplete grids still being usable while you work on them.
Yeah, usable for what? I'm asking this question knowing the answer The answer is that it's usuable so you can grind more. That's the problem with granblue, you grind to grind more.

>>388991 My earth grid isn't even fully SL'd but I was able to do guild wars. which is admittedly a grind fest. I enjoy the story events usually though
>>388993 I haven't tried it yet. I'm sure I will use her when I clear it though.
>>388992 Yes and that is why I'm not very motivated, because the only thing you really need to have a super high grid for is guild wars. Which is just a contest to see if you can grind harder than other people.
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
True, guidl wars is dumb! Useful rewards though.
The new hardest fight in the game they added is interesting in that you have to have a different kind of grid to do it reasonably. So it's neat.
It's aimed at people who are at endgame grinding and everything clearly though
there's not enough time in the world for MMOs i loved em when i was a teenager but who can afford that kind of time now
Maria
I've never enjoyed an MMO It always just feels like a grind with combat that's not even fun I might as well just post on the internet since that's like an mmo without grinding
If I ever pick up another MMO, I can't pick it up with friends. They never stick with games I enjoy. Enjoying games with them is hard. Or maybe the problem is me.
>>389008 the way for that to work really is just to play a game and, over time, meet people who kind of have the same schedule it doesn't work too well to coordinate outside of it, especially for a game like an mmo where you more or less gotta be the same level
To invite any of you to this watching is to put you all on an indefinite hiatus. As one of them is a student with a normal schedule, another is a night worker with an irregular schedule, and I am soon to be working graveyard shifts from 22-6 It is unlikely that we'll be able to do this watching, let alone do the GW2 Living Story together.
>>389024 It was fun I use them as birthday cards sometimes
Anno
>>389020 Oh well that sucks. Hopefully one of the site staff that's backing up the content ends up making a palatable new site. Wouldn't blame any of them for choosing not to though.
>when you try to stick your neck out to help someone out and they fuck it up and make obviously fake excuses and ask you to let your higher-ups know it wasn't their fault sigh

>>389035 tryin to help someone get hired send them the link to a 15 minute test if you don't submit it in 15 minutes you can't submit it instead of just submitting what they had done like a proper person, they took who knows how long to finish it and then gave me the ol' "It gave me an error and i couldn't upload it but here's the test" and it's so polished that they clearly spent an hour+ doing research on the topic and reviewing it there's a reason the test is only 15 minutes don't fuck with me i don't owe you shit
>>389044 i mean researching terminology and stuff like that that occurs during the test So, you've got 15 minutes to transcribe a three minute audio file and submit it they didn't get it done in that 15 minutes, but sent it to me the next morning saying they couldn't upload it, but "here it is" it wouldn't be a worthwhile test if they had an hour or longer to research terminology, review, and edit
Anno
>>389046 I think I get the picture. The excuse is really reminscent of high school-era excuses trying to dodge homework deadlines.
When I tested myself on a thirteen-minute audio file yesterday I finished it in sixty-seven minutes, which puts me just under the time window a test like that gives. Plus it was something I had listened to before, albeit months ago, so it's not like it was perfectly fresh. I've got an hour-long something I want to test myself on and see if I can improve my ratio.
>>389038 This used to happen to me all the time in my previous place I could practically walk the place blindfolded, but my roomie always moved some or other chair which I then struck my foot upon quite painfully when sneaking into the kitchen etc during night
>>389047 if you're serious about maybe wanting to learn, I'd suggest registering on transcriptionessentials.com they've got a forum and they're a special kind of anal retentive you'll have to wait to verify and give your reasoning for making an account that you want to learn the industry but somewhere in there, there's a compendium of practice files for working on and a whole wealth of knowledge
>>389051 They're a little intimidating; I'd be lying if I said I wasn't cowed by the preface they've got going on.
Between my general apathy towards most things and my reservations about jumping into a new skill or trade it's really hard to say if I think I'm serious about it or not. I think it's something I -could- do. Within the practice I ran I found I could maintain focus and didn't get frustrated or bored. But that was with not even fifteen minutes of audio and I'm not sure how it would go with hours of audio per day. It feels like I overthink whether or not I can or should do things way more than others and maybe this applies but I don't really know how to think in any other way .
>>389065 well i dont wanna pressure you one way or another i just wanted to let you know about the hiring thing >>389067 that's what im tryna do but it's hard sometimes it's rainin and cold outside and i'm indoors with a heating pad and some hot tea to sooth me achin bones though so i am at least taking it a little bit easy
Anno
Yeah, I never mentioned that I'm grateful for that. Thanks. I'd like a job that lets me work from a desk instead of on a production line and from home is even better. But I don't know deep down if that's just an extension of my desire to be lazy in life or if it's something I can forge into a serious work ethic and produce decent and timely work. And precedence tends to lean towards the prior so it's doubly concerning.
I don't really want to work tomorrow, but at the same time I'm not really doing anything with my weekend and just sitting around looking at the internet and listening to music. I guess it's good to be unproductive sometimes.
Anno
That's one of the things that kinds of digs me about my job at the brewery. I'm on my feet for usually eight hours at least, pretty much constantly doing labour that ranges from breezy to exhausting. By the time I get home at the end of the day, and on weekends after multiple days of shifts in a row. I'm so exhausted that I can't really bring myself to do much more intense than playing video games. And that leaves a building frustration in me because I LIKE creating things. I want to make things. And being so tired in my free time that I can't do that is incredibly frustrating for me.
I don't feel like going back to school yet. I have class at like 9am! I have class from like 9-5 on Mondays.
One of my intakes got canceled this week, though, so I only have a four hour therapy dealio this week,
Anno
I thought my night school classes would resume this upcoming week but apparently it's next week so I've been able to procrastinate choosing courses for even longer than I already have. I don't know if that's a good thing or not but in the end I really don't know what I want to pick to fill three slots with that I'm confident I'll be able to get good results in.
But it's impossible to explain that concern to my parents because they insist "just pick whatever it will be fine" and nothing I say seems to properly convey the gravity of my insecurity in picking something I can't get properly invested into and failing to achieve a passing mark, let alone good grades.
Anno
I think I'm on a bit of a panic and worrying track tonight.
Hm. The site I usually use to check the Canadian Netflix catalogue doesn't show it, but it's a Netflix-produced show and Wikipedia said it was released globally. Should be up there.
Kirara 🚗
HorribleSubs ripped it and it's on nyaa, so if it's not on Canada Netflix for some reason, there's always that.
Anno
Yeah, I saw. I'll fall back to that if it isn't up for some illogical reason. Would rather watch it through Netflix because supporting weeaboo content is important.
Kirara 🚗
Yeah, agreed. We just finished episode 2. I approve of the quality and translations so far.
there's some good hiphop rappy shit goin on too
Kirara 🚗
it's got Kenjiro Tsuda in it i've had a new appreciation for him since xenoblade 2
Kirara 🚗
KENJIRO TSUDA VOICES KYLO REN IN THE JAPANESE DUBS OF STAR WARS HAHA
Anno
It's like pottery.
Anno
Know what might be fun? Watching the new Star Wars movies with the Japanese dub. Maybe probably subtitles since I don't think the Japanese would be rudimentary enough for understanding.
>>389096 I think it's that Instagram brand camera.
>>389095 Yeah, me neither. I might get a subscription to it, though, once they do that. I'll be sure to share it if I get a subscription.
Anno
I remember seeing that Hulu/Spotify was doing a five dollar/month special on both services together for students a while back. But I don't know if it's still going on and if that's an enduring price or a time-limited special.
I'd be happy to take that money off your hands if you don't want it.
Anno
>>389100 https://www.nowinstock.net/computers/videocards/nvidia/gtx1080ti/ I used the Canadian version of this site when I was waiting to pounce on my 1070 and my Switch.
>>389110 I could have one right now if I were to bludgeon it with money, too! The problem is that stingy is one of my subtypes. I must get it at as low a price as possible, even if I can afford the high price!
A lot of them get really full of themselves and start looking down on people from "lesser" universities. And they all love to rub their expensive education in people's faces.
My friend was on the cusp of being difficult to be around already even though we got along pretty well she'll probably come out pretty annoying
I know an ivy league guy who is a really good guy. I think he's always been a weirdo and a loner and was like that in college, though. He ended up in a weird place in life too, he like runs a bar and also works as a sports photographer. Not what you'd expect from an ivy league grad.
wasn't even that bad a guy, but he never shoke off that "i am elite" attidute which got him a lot of shit over the years in the end. >>389153 >>389147 that doesn't sound that bad wouldn't do it myself, but
Anno
>>389147 That sounds kind of gross. What are you doing with your life.
bangu~
it's not gross it's delicious it's like dipping 5 cookies into milk
>>389148 Well, high end educational programs are a lot like boot camp. They try to break you down and reprogram you. That stuff is really effective against normies, but usually doesn't work on offbeat people.
bangu~
imagine the first guy who was like "let's crack open this chicken's egg onto hot oil" and some dude was like "bruh"
>>389165 I had an opportunity to go to an ivy league school but I wasn't really interested. It's so stupid. My school wants to reprogram me, too, but I'm too strong for something like that.
You and your private education stuff though I did enroll in high school that could be considered "elite" since ith had like hmm 8,9/10 grade average to pass into
>>389166 I don't know if it's a matter of strength. Schools usually do that by beating people down and reshaping them when they're at a low. That's how boot camp works too. Grad school definitely put me down in the dumps, my grades were a disaster my first semester. I've seen you pretty low too.
The difference between normies and offbeat people is that offbeat people deal with the stress differently so they don't get reshaped.
>>389168 Yeah, the army tried to do that to me offbeat is kind of an understatement for me it wasn't very effective a lot of people were crying and having breakdowns and all sorts of weird stuff and i felt like i was at a summer camp having fun it was much less fun since the people were miserable to be around but it was actually less stressful than being at home
