The implication of eating fried chicken tv dinners multiple nights a week and also not wanting to eat other foods are that you're a picky eater. Especially if you say you don't like an entire continent's food.
Bitch I said asian food I've tried it several times an in general I either kinda like, kinda don't like it, or are neutral. >>500357 I don't really like the way chicken comes out as a result. It's got a different texture to it. There's also usually sauces involved which can be good but I don't like them a whole lot.
I'm sure trying food items from a across an entire continent once or twice is enough to say you dislike or don't like all of the cultural dishes across the continent. That's reasonable.
also "asian food" thai, vietnam, japanese, the myriad kinds of chinese, indian, nepalese and so on? kinda lot of stuff that are very different from each other in terms of taste, texture, ingredients, spices and so on.

Fuck they're using an a monetized link referral service where there's a five second ad before they give you the download link but adblock blocks it which interferes with actually getting the link
i hate when that happens can't even really waltz back there and go "refund me" cause how do you even prove they are bought from there >>500393 good luck
Kirara π
that's exactly what im going to do actually this brand is only sold by this supermarket
>>500392 If only there was some sort of log of purchases A small slip of paper with a date and purchase on it, perhaps, that you as the customer could get when buying things
>>500393 Aside from Lidl, you buy taters separately and bag them yourself here >>500394 yeah well when your potatoes are unmarked and in normal plastic/paper bags... how do you prove that
Kirara π
>>500395 i can do that here but it's more expensive

Weird It's cheaper to do that here Price variation between different grkcery stores in different areas is interesting
there was a black Muslim fellow here shouting about how someone was racist towards his wife and he was there to defend her but he left without really filing a complaint

as if today could get any better, ive lost my ID for the clinic it'll cost me $40 to replace im so short on money right now though i will probably not eat much next week unless fish comes home who knows if that'll happen though
tough luck really see if it isn't in some odd place though like dropped under car seat or pocketed in some weird pocket
Kirara π
i checked it came off my clip at some point now i can't access the buildings at school or any treatment rooms or use the employee entrance to the clinic
I wonder what it is about some people that predisposes them to suffering.
In the trauma literature, we see a lot of evidence that people who experience traumatic events are more likely to experience second, third, fourth traumas. Every trauma makes you more likely to get more and more traumas.
Some people really seem to be doomed to suffer. God is supposed to be infinite generosity and kindness, but I find myself doubting that nearly every day now.
welp I hope fish returns soon, or otherwise we really are living in some weird fictional universe where you are the mc constantly getting screwed over.

Kirara π
it's great that nigerian news outlets just post photos of dead, mutilated corpses too without a warning or censor or anything
A real decent place I am guessing the victims couldn't pay and what with the place being as it is, I doubt they have medical care or decent insurance either
>>500452 not to say this is comparable, but that happened to my dad he spent six months in the ukraine and got engaged to a ukrainian girl, maria, who was very sweet and came to live with us in the states for about a year then her mom got ill, she went home "for a few months" to visit with her mom, and never came back broke my dad's heart and i'm still p bothered by it
Kirara π
if that happens to me i will probably just completely withdraw from society
ζ
sorry that probably wasn't a necessary or helpful comment
she had left a lot of really sentimental stuff behind so i don't think she was trying to just get away i think that she was probably severely homesick though she spent the first 30 years of her life there, so yeah doesn't seem to be comparable in that respect i probably should have avoided mentioning it
as a cyclogist do your colleagues and contemporaries need trascripts done i'm not asking for referrals just surveying the marketplace for where to potentially find my own clients i probably need to start stepping my game up and being serious i'd really like to do transcripts of autopsy reports tbh but any of the coroners who are smart enough to use dragon medical now and the ones that aren't probably aren't insightful enough to be interesting
forensic psychologists would be able to benefit a lot from transcripts most other psychologists don't really have a use for them a lot of the testing that involves a lot of verbatim response recording also requires the psychologist to read it back to the client at some point so they have to write it all down anyway forensic psychs gotta provide evidence for their stuff usually so transcripts are helpful for them although they don't often use them because they don't realize how much they could benefit from it
i've done a couple psychology interviews with clients but i wasn't sure if they were for the psychologist's purposes or for academic assessment of the psychologist as part of a graduate program sorry to interrupt
i've been offering my services to various archivists who have patreons set up explaining to them that i'm too poor to be a patreon but i'd like to offer my support in non-financial ways i'm hoping they'd take advantage of it just so they can realize the value of it and give me some good referrals or pay for my services
>>500472 it's more a youtube thing than an academic thing lots of video editing, interviews, general research, and sometimes retrieval of video footage for research and compilation into a comprehensive idea and clean presentation they mostly transcribe relevant portions themselves but in watching their videos i notice a lot of mistakes and always point them out after a year or so i just decided to offer them my services if they need something like that done you've done it before; you know how much of a chore it can be compared to what you expect
do you ever have // wish you had a chest worthy of getting crushed? nobody wants to crush my chest my boobs are too small and i'm all scarred up >>500476 idk they haven't used my services yet but i offer it anyway
>>500479 Like you could lie back on a comfortable bed and a small hydraulic press would just slowly press down on your chest until it's completely flat, just slowly crushing your ribs, organs, spine, that kind of thing.
i guess so nigerians can see that she was beautiful i'm reading this article and it's so weird halfway through the article there's this >The mother said βmy daughter just came back home from where she went to write her WAEC yesterday.

Kirara π
yeah it's so pointless that's one of the reasons i didn't go out with anyone from my cohort when they invited me out for so long i didn't want them to know i was an alcoholic but i'd have to spend so much to get even a little tipsy
ζ
yeah i need like eight beers minimum to get the buzz i'm totally fine staying sober instead, but having one beer even is just dissatisfying more so than having none because then i need a bunch and im not payin 30 bucks to get a buzz
Kirara π
after i moved in to where i live now my friends from high school came over and i offered them some drinks and we were drinking and i went through like 4 glasses of rum and coke in like 30 minutes and they were all giving me these crazy looks like i was drinking too much but it wasn't even enough to get me tipsy or anything i mean come on it's just rum and coke i knew i was going through it quickly but i didn't think it would seem like that quickly after that i just stopped drinking around other people except a select group of people

I've had about 1400 calories already. 95 sounds nice though. I could eat a bit and then tomorrow try and exercise more.
now i'm really craving bourbon i need to be up in five hours though and i dont have a vehicle anyway

this was just along a road that leads north to south there are kidnappings everywhere though today someone went and killed three cops so they could kidnap a syrian national there's new reports of kidnappings every day murders its scary i'm really stupid for thinking it would be okay
FormerRei@mobile
Well To be I
Kannagi
I don't think you are stupid, I hope fish gets in contact with you soon. reading all these articles about murders and kidnappings is going to make you ill. But I can understand why you do.
i'm starting to think that i won't be contacted it's probably over
Kannagi
Wait for however long you feel is right and then contact the embassy to find out. You shouldn't be left stuck waiting forever. Even if they need her permission to let you know, but they have // will find her and understand your positon as her partner who lost contact with her.
just because they understand doesn't mean they will share information i am cursed to negative /// so a negative outcome was basically guaranteed from the start there's no way this will end well i got cocky and thought things might be okay but i was wrong i keep selfishly getting involved with people even though i know it means they'll get hurt or die
Maria
Couldn't hurt to try contacting the embassy even if it doesn't work
Kannagi
Kirara, you have a right as much as anyone else to fall in love and have a relationship. I don't think that is selfish at all. The state department site is shit but still contact them if feel it is an option. Hopefully she will contact you or you'll be in contact with her family or friends and know more.

a sandwich made of hush puppies or a sandwich with hush puppy filling? either way i'd try it mite b cool

>>500585 it's kind of a numb feeling, for better or worse it's safer that way, but i have to keep discontinuing my wellbutes because it's hard to feel human and still function every time i start taking it again i feel great and want to stab myself in the heart
>>500592 i really want to not be depressed and to feel things, but it seems like the depression is protecting me from things i really shouldn't be feeling i was down with that for a few years but it seems at this rate like it'll last forever it comes crashing in so fast it also jeopardizes most of the important relationships i already have idk what to do besides get a way from atal
>>500593 idk how to deal with my stuff except to get away from atal either every time i try to figure it out everything points to how much better my life would be if i escaped
>>500596 same i need to be up in four hours to do 12 hours of work tomorrow i really just want to down a whole lot of hard liquor and feel something but it's more effort and anxiety to have to explain to clients why work is late i really just want to dig a hole in the ground and grind up a bunch of rocks and harvest some clay and plaster the walls in, live inside of it, build a small fish bond with some oxygenating plants, trek to the river and capture a bunch of young fish to put in the pond while hunting their parents to eat for the night, make a fire, boil a fish stew with some yams and turnips in heat and cilantro, and take a snooze

>>500601 i'll join you, but as a survivalist i do know that we would need a lot of preparation imo at least a year is preferable but fall if worst case scenario it's not a whimsical thing, it's more serious than anything you've been serious about in society which is why it's so attractive of a thing to do, and so important
Anno
I'll miss you guys if you withdraw from society.
Kirara π
you can come with us
Anno
I don't want to be that removed from society though.
Kirara π

ζ
>>500606 i can build a generator for basic electronics not all day long but you could have some stuff not even making shit up here
Anno
It's not only about the electronics accessibility that turns me off that kind of life. I like being in the heart of urban centres. Walking down a downtown city street late at night is
ζ
post dropped* meant to say not even making shit up, but if you had phone service you could hotspot a laptop and use the innernet scarcely
Anno
Speaking of dropped posts. Anyway there's a certain allure of city living that I don't want to give up unless I absolutely have to. I can enjoy bouts of being in the woods, but my heart is always in the city.
>>500618 i'm a pretty good engineer and survivalist, but not a hunter we need jan if we plan on bow hunting just today i was out for a smoke and there was a groundhog hanging out less than two feet away from me in a patch of dirt i was looking at him a good six seconds before my brain parsed his face out of the mesh of brown and my heart skipped two beats at least
1st percentile visual attention diagnostically i'll cook, fish, grind stones, build shelters, cut wood, build a blast furnace, and even build a generator to heat the fish pond, but i'm no hunter
FormerRei@mobile
Fuck I haven't used a bow in years I'm too out of shape to really pull one back more than a couple times though.
natural lighting and torches are fine for a basic hut/cabin, but the underground shelter definitely needs a lighting system while i can build a generator, i don't think i can build an electric light source from scratch we should probably get some crank torches i wonder if they've got planned-obselescence bulbs in them
Anno
Shinka images are timeless. they're like Noucome images.

whoa
ive got a couple boxes of ir chemlites do u want some of those
my crank torch/radio also has a solar battery it's pretty good
>>500647\ ohhh we could light our underground home with mirrors and sunlight like the ancient aliens guy claims the egyptians did because they were aliens
>>500649 i don't think that will work! a big box of MREs would probably be handy for emergencies when sick or disabled too they're not particularly expensive for what relief they provide when hunting isn't an option >>500655 nigga you never even been in the military

Kirara π
>>500690 she's in nigeria and hasn't communicated in 14 or 15 days outside of an attempted call that dropped nigeria is incredibly dangerous like 120 people got kidnapped on a single road last weekend people get murdered left and right the only reason she wouldn't be communicating is if something happened idek when she's supposed to be coming back bc no communication she's probably dead or something
Anno
>>500682 I don't think there's any situation where shooting someone is "fine". That doesn't mean it should never be done, but I refuse to moralize it as a "fine" situation.
>>500692 imo it doesn't need to be moralized places where it's fine to kill people tend not to have so many people being killed rural societies and the old west are well aware of the danger, and don't like resorting to it i'm of the opinion that i'm okay with shooting to kill under the right circumstances, and that stance alone makes the right circumstances never appear warning shots, however, are strong communicators
>>500691 This is something that's been tumbling around in my head for a bit, but is she particularly deferent to her parents? In particular her father, I guess. If he was insistent on her not communicating with you while on the trip, would she comply?
Kirara π
sometimes which is another worry because he threatened me by saying he would force her into a marriage eventually if we didn't get married at some point there are any number of things that could explain this and none of them are good and im so stressed out
Anno
>>500693 It gets moralized for me regardless because shooting to kill is pretty much intent to kill. And I don't believe there's any situation where that is "right". There's situations where doing the wrong thing needs to be done, but again, I refuse to moralize it as "fine" or "right" because it needs to be done.
Have you gotten into contact with the state department about this yet? Tell me if I should stop suggesting things it's the only thing I know how to do
>>500701 You may not learn anything, but you'll set the American embassy into motion, and they may be able to do something. Even though they couldn't tell you about it. Like if she's suffering a break down in a local hospital they could get her to the states, where an expensive in-patient stay is a lot better than the nigerian alternative. fuck
>>500698 I feel that there's delicate posturing involved in the conflict that signals your intent there's a nonverbal communication that happens, and it's not only warning shots, but body language and things which show that you're not willing to accomodate a threat the intent to kill in a survival scenario rarely ends in a kill, unless it's predatory i'd argue about whether or not something that needs to be done could be considered not right, but you and I both know that's a moot conversation i've got no bloodlust, but i will protect what's important to me if i feel it's being threatened in a controllable environment (as opposed to a delusion where a shootout with the cops and SWAT surrounding your home might be defending yourself) and if it's something i've already dedicated my lifestyle to protecting, it's not gonna change if an intruder comes along to threaten it and will not heed warning most will, and acquiescing to those that don't isn't right, because i'm following some code there to protect life and they're ignoring it to endanger their own and mine
Kirara π
>>500699 no, i'm probably going to soon but the state dept website says that they can't release any information to me without written consent from the person so i probably won't be able to learn anything when i do
>>500699 yeah i guess that's true the plan was originally that she would come home on the 18th but would stay longer if things were going okay and she'd communicate with me to let me know this is all so stressful it's like i can't have anything good in my life
Anno
let's break into nigeria and start the fish rescue arc
Anno
I suggested that but it got shot down on account of being expensive and unfun.
Kirara π
i don't know how to break into nigeria i don't have any contacts that could smuggle me in and it's like $1000 for a ticket plus i don't have a passport
if she's been kidnapped then she's probably not even in nigeria anymore she could be anywhere human trafficking is really bad out there i'm like the dumbest person alive for letting this happen
Anno
I mean you're p dumb but I don't think this has anything to do with it
im praying that everything will be okay but im checking nigerian news like twenty times a day and there's nothing but more murders and kidnappings and political corruption
Anno
how to know if your being gaslit

>>500715 I know you're not gonna stop doing that but you should probably stop doing that you're making things harder on yourself

>>500768 I haven't bought the Compendium this year yet. Haven't headed into DotA in a bit recently because I've gotten back into a binge on another video game. Maybe they'll fix some of the major issues before I get around to it.
>>500771 I've picked up dota 2 only because i wanted something to do while waiting for the new PoE League to drop and because I'm not interested in playing WoW at all while waiting for BfA
Anno
That's a fascinatingly bizzare choice for something to fill time. Surely there's some other shitty mobage you could play or something.
I've been playing DotA 2 fairly persistently for seven or so years. Honestly this is probably close to the latest I've held off on buying the Compendium for a few years now.
>>500775 I've been on and off with Dota 2 since Beta. I could be grinding Xeno Vohu Manah in GBF, but I really hate trying to grind it because it slow because my Wind team is shit and getting my Wind team to not be shit means I'd have to grind for it, but then I'd have to grind my worst team of Fire and etc etc. >>500779 fucking same dude except not the unintentionally part

>>500831 The dress never changed for me. Different pictures with different lighting filters of it would have consistently different colour palettes though. I've only listened to the audio clip in one sit-down of a few passes though. After the first it changed to "laurel" and remained that way. Maybe going back would cause a similar single "yanny" and then change but I really don't care enough about it to go find it again.
i have passively craved death for years now sometimes it's an active craving like right now the stress is so suffocating
Anno
I don't really crave anything. But that comes with not really craving life either.
I mean I guess I crave being free to do what I want without pressure. And that builds and is strangled by stress. Which is a feedback loop that just snowballs out of control.
Kirara π
i want to live so badly i don't want to die but i crave it i need death but i know i can't have it
even if i tried the forces torturing me at every turn wouldn't let me die
whole fuckin' timeline arguing about quote tweeting this alignment is fraught with tension
Kirara π
love to wake up to the sound of my downstairs neighbor and someone else screaming about whether or not one of them stole a car and threatening to shoot each other
i hope my local DSA breaks off from national all we need is local shit anyway im supposed to participate in some leadership training because i technically hold a leadership position even though it's not actually a leadership position it's more of a representative position
Anno
>>500970 >>500972 I'm afraid I stole it off tumbler still got me pretty good when I first saw it
it's so dumb should just let their organization crash and burn they're so worthless
ζ
i wish i could stop being afraid of my adderall i'm so terrified that it'll make me feel terrible so end up not taking it, drinking a bunch instead, and feeling terrible and that's even worse for my body
Kirara π
why is life so difficult
ζ
it'll be okay
Kirara π
do you really believe that
ζ
sometimes i do my confidence wavers a lot i dont know which me to trust
Kirara π
trump is preparing to put the children of undocumented immigrants in special camps to hold them for a while they're all on military bases
if you lit those red tapes on fire they made a nice big boom I somtimes used them as a distraction when I still airsofted
ζ
>>501001 instead of lighting them on fire, i took the whole roll of them wrapped in the coil and hit it with a hammer that was fun, since they boom on heavy impact too
yeah did that too the lit on fire was more of a time thing scratched some of the gunpowder from it, put them in a can lit it on fire and then ran off to another point it goes boom, the opposing team goes "dafug" and then I flank them or that is how it was supposed to go
>>501005 add it to your filter it's only going to get worse
Kirara π
let me suffer now and never die
ζ
>>501005 i can't believe people can join the military to be a social media specialist how fucked up is that i mean, yeah there were people who did the military newspapers in the vietnam war, but that's totally different
Anno
>>501005 FRAGGED 'EM, GET SHIT ON NOOBS TACTICAL NUKE INBOUND MOM GET THE CAMERA
Anno
>>500991 also yeah it's part gunpowder part zinc it creates a very tiny explosion and spark
Anno
i used to buy these little ball things that were essentially the same shit except you just threw them on the ground or at your friends to scare them
>>501017 pfft someone called the cops on my coworker once because the store was locked and there was a suspicious black guy (in uniform) inside the store he had locked the door to go to the bathroom
it's not the police, but i get security called to watch me a lot when i'm shopping at electronics stores and hardware stores because i'm so cripplingly anxious and shaky that people think i look suspicious stopped at the airport a lot too, and cops always search my shit when they pull me over for an expired plate or something "why are you shaking? why do you look so nervous" in a very aggressive voice because i'm nervous you fat fuck
Maria
>>501018 For all they knew he coulda stolen the uniform for an elaborate convenience store heist Fucking dumbasses
>>501019 one time when i was in a gamestop looking for small gifts for christmas somebody from corporate (they watch the cameras remotely to look for suspicious behavior) chimed in and asked if everyone was finding what they were looking for okay i was the only person in the store other than the clerks i thought it was kinda funny still not sure what i was doing that made them think i was up to no good though i was just walking around looking at their holiday displays and shit >>501020 oh shit you're right what if he broke into the store, knocked the real clerk unconscious, figured out where the front door key was and then locked the door and went to the bathroom for 10 minutes
Retsuko is an anthropomorphic red panda, 25 years old and single, who works in the accounting department of a Japanese trading firm. Facing constant frustration everyday from pushy superiors to annoying co-workers, Retsuko lets out her emotions by going to a karaoke bar every night and singing death metal.[2][3] After 5 years of working the daily grind, her relationships with her various co-workers are starting to shift, and slowly begins to open up in ways that can change her life for better...or for worse.
ζ
>>501028 i watched retsuko it's pretty good it's a super short thing, like two minute episodes i think i suggested it here before i dunno you'd def like it
FormerRei@mobile
>>501028 My friend likes that show I heard its good
>>501005 do they each actually have their own hashtag, like it's a vote or something?? it's like twitters is just a big brain machine using real people as its neurons to process information and idk as a person with neurons i know i like to shut my neurons off and abuse them for better clarity that's why people shouldn't be neurons
FormerRei@mobile
Anyone can make a hashtag I'm a little surprised at #BRRRRRT Being a hashtag though
ζ
yeah but i feel as though there's a threshold of validation it has to have momentum to gain traction like anything is a hashtag, but getting the hashtag properly mapped to a concept is much more rigorous
FormerRei@mobile
I know a guy who used a hashtag to keep track of how many people where listening to his radio show
no, I don't know him personally. ...unless I do and just don't know that I do. but I doubt that
ζ
oh i thought that you did
what kinda scope are you using here, only met in person, or within a major social circle and close to online? i can't really call anybody who i originally met irl (as in the first meeting/acquaintance with them being in person) a close friend irl is too distant for me and i'm playin a charade all the people i know well enough to call a friend i met through the world wide web
>>501082 potentially i guess i was thinking about how to write some important emails and i thought domestic crisis sounded like a good way to sum up the difficulties of my living situation in a non-intrusive way that's forceful of details i've heard the term before but i wasn't sure if it was an actual term or just something innovative the person used, and google hasn't helped me at all and i dont want to use it if it does have a meaning that could be misunderstood i def dont want people thinking of domestic disturbance or domestic violence, that could really be a screw-up
Kirara π
>>501083 it can mean like, trouble with housing that's what i usually hear it used as it's kind of a vague term and i wouldn't be surprised if someone thought DV was involved somehow especially if they haven't encountered the term before
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
domestic crisis does kinda sound like a euphemism for dv
ζ
i heard it used when ross from accursed farms was talking about a mold issue in the apartment i liked that context that's not far from my situation really swapping between no home or couch surfing in a home of squalor and taxoplasma fuck i've been feeling so much better since moving out of there remember when i was asking you if it was the adderall or something causing my vision to get all fuzzy and my brain feel like a bunch of tubes and visual hallucinations i haven't had that at all out here it was probably fucking toxoplasmosis and mold
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
but he had a whole vlog about it so he could open it up
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
i guess it would work if you open it up and explain it some but if you just say "domestic crisis" and leave it at that, the vagueness can lead to wrong interprations
Kirara π
>>501086 shit dude yeah i think >>501088 in terms of using the term
ζ
well looking after my agent orange PTSD uncle who would just say vulgar, awful things about transsexuals and the faggots and niggers all day long probably counts as an abusive environment but i'm not bitter about that, he's really fucked up from the army and i feel for him
>>501101 >challenge 1 impossible is harder than challenge 5 impossible explain it, atheists
Anno
the only explanation for muspelheim is that they actually had satan on board
Kirara π
the impossible challenge where you gotta kill fuckers in the box sucks too err, circles it's full of enemies that fucking move around so much and the circles are so small
Anno
i managed to get lucky with that one once but i keep failing on the third wave now it's so hard to get the little guys to stay in the circle with two ogres constantly threatening you with their big ogre cock
Kirara π
when the circle starts moving it becomes like impossible there's so much time so it feels like you should be able to do it but the circle is so sensitive and if like even part of their body is out of the circle you never know what'll happen and all your attacks push them back
Anno
my strategy was to just use the valkyrie dodge enchant to maneuver behind them and keep pushing them into the circle with the forward aimed evade attack with leviathan but it's just too much of a cluster fuck when the ogres get involved the only way i got it the first time was sheer luck having the worms pop up in the circle when i was slamming the ogre
Kirara π
i was getting them to low HP and then using BoC to pull them into the circle to finish them the challenges where you just fight waves and waves of enemies and have to survive like 5 minutes are really fun
Anno
yeah i like the fourth and fifth challenges i think those are just survive and survive with kills increasing the clock
Kirara π
did you fight the valkryie queen yet i only had 6/8 valks last time i played
Anno
not yet i have to kill the one in niflheim and then she's up next i haven't completed the game yet either
i was doing the muspelheim shit to level up my ivaldi's armor so i could survive in the mist long enough to actually kill her
Kirara π
oh yeah i gotta get through niflheim still i did a little and got the armor and stuff because it's really good
did you get the infinity gauntlet yet
Anno
i have the gauntlet but i haven't upgraded it all the way i don't remember what it was i needed i think it was some niflheim shit?
Kirara π
it's REALLY strong i got it fully upgraded and have three of the infinity stones and it shoots blasts of energy that do like 25% of a valk's HP if you time it right and hit with both blasts it can knock valks out of the air with the right timing too
Anno
oh hot dog i should figure out how to get it upgraded all the way i'm still using the one that slows down time when you perfect dodge it's just too broken
Kirara π
it's slow to use so it's hard to time
Anno
literally every attack from a valk is a big full combo opening if you do it right it's so satisfying and it gives me time to put up my frost axe runic attack buff which staggers them on each hit while it's active
Anno
i gotta take a nap or something before i grind out the rest of this and maybe finally finish the game though
Kirara π
my favorite valk attack is the one where they fly up into the air and land on you and stomp on your throat and call you worthless i wish more enemies had unique kill animations on kratos
the first time i got hit by that i was so shocked i couldn't even mash fast enough to get out >>501121 it's not really so much open world as a linear story that lets you do optional sidequests as they unlock all of the sidequests are very nicely fleshed out and have their own unique dungeons and related crap though so you're missing out if you only play the story quests
>>501120 yeah same the first time i saw it was the muspelheim valk and i had like no good armor and no vit at all so she kept like one shotting me every time she hit me with that i think i had less than 20 in vit lol
>>501122 i still can't believe i beat her on my first try she kept using really easy to predict attacks and only did the consecutive jump like two times total maybe the game felt bad for me after how many times the alfheim valk kicked my ass
Yuu
i got a knockout in ghb so cool, the first one ive seen is me
>>501123 haha She was like the second valk I fought After my third valk they started to get a bit easier although they were still challenging and fun The one that summoned mobs was not fun though
>>501125 i probably would have fought her a lot sooner if the original "kill monsters in the circle" challenge didn't scare me away from muspelheim for so long the rest of the challenges were a breeze after that shit and that one in itself was no problem after getting a lot of my stuff upgraded
i think the summoner was the second or third one i did oh third i think the second was the one with the chakrams and shit
i'm gonna feel so depressed when i'm finally done with all the interesting stuff in this game
Yuu
>>501125 it means the score on the node is so tilted for my team that yoy automatically take it even though the roumd didnt end it was a fancy gild node too
One of my clients, an autistic adult with a developmental age of around 12, was telling me yesterday that he's far too trusting of other people which may get him in trouble. I thought that was good insight for him, so I started prompting for me, and he expressed that he feels like he needs to carry a weapon with him at all times because anyone around him could be dangerous and attack him for no reason. He wants to carry a chain that he will keep wrapped around his arm and use to disarm attackers using firearms and knives. When I commented that chains don't seem like an effective method of self-defense, he claimed that he is skilled enough to make it work. He's really overweight, almost obese, and was telling me prior to this that if he bends over for more than a minute or two, he gets winded and needs to sit down. So I was kind of probing to see if he understood that his hope of defending himself in a fight was unrealistic, and he told me that he's been running scenarios in his head for years and knows exactly where to strike people to take them down quickly without much effort. I told him that knowing where to hit someone doesn't mean you can hit them there and he didn't seem to understand what a real fight is like. I can't really blame him for it because he's so young developmentally and doesn't think like an adult and doesn't have much real world experience, but it's kind of funny to me. But it's also worrying to me because he thinks he can figure out who is potentially dangerous just by looking at them and guessing their intentions even though he can't understand why his dad is so angry that he leaves mountains of trash and old food on the floor in his room. He's very poor at identifying other people's motivations or intentions.
And he doesn't really understand why the idea of carrying around a chain is unrealistic and ridiculous.
Yeah. He wants to own firearms, too, though. At least he doesn't have any expectation of being allowed to access a firearm without his father's supervision. So he doesn't think he could just carry it with him.
Yeah, but I'm worried about being attacked by specific people who have actually overtly stated that they want me gone or dead. I don't think there's any chance of random people attacking me in the middle of a supermarket or anything. A pocketknife is also useful in a lot of situations that aren't fighting and for fighting, it's not a very effective weapon. I also won't claim to trust random people around me enough that I'd let my guard down anywhere, and I can realistically defend myself or escape an attacker. In many ways my knife functions more like a functional safety blanket.
>>501137 Yeah. There are like, literal nazi rallies going on pretty frequently and there was even one within driving distance of me a few months ago. People generally know that I'm Jewish. The chances of me getting attacked aren't particularly high but it's reasonable to be prepared.
Anno
A knife can be useful for other purposes too. Cutting open packaging and cutting fruits.
this guy wants to carry like a real big chain that he will keep wrapped around his arm all day and he will take it off and use it as a whip like ghost rider or something
ζ
YEAH but the ones now are like sleek and a silky smooth chain it actually looks okay not the two-foot chain and jncos
Anno
It could help him lose weight. lugging a huge chain around.
An obese ghost rider would work quite well the skellignton is on fire right? and fat burns real well so a fat ghost rider would burn better, thus be more powerful
Kirara π
only the head and it's like spiritual hell fire
Anno
>>501156 You could guide him into becoming a Persona protag. With sick lines like that.
the worst part about writing important emails is watching your inbox tab with anxiety to see if the number goes up and the general anxiety of waiting that's a whole lot of time you get to spend ruminating on how you're being received and judged
