this is a thread for all the poor souls woken up at 2am by a girlfriend who can't sleep
Anno
Oh okay I'll go find a more suitable thread for myself.
Kirara, the Cat
come back
Anno
Okay I'm still here.
Kirara, the Cat
how's anime
Anno
We didn't get much watched over the weekend, so there's a good selection of stuff tonight. Index and Spyce are consistently fun. We're about to get started on this week's Yagate Kimi ni Naru.
Kirara, the Cat
exciting stuff
Anno
In other news I've sorted out all the Cultists save Deimos. Collected all of Atlantis' artifacts. Hopefully I'm near the finale of everything.
Kirara, the Cat
Good job. How many hours?
Anno
Ninety-nine so far. I'll probably break a hundred easily before the end. It would have been far longer if I finally didn't lose my patience with just travelling around by foot, horse, and ship. Fast-travel really helps, especially with some of the quests that have you hopping back and forth and back between islands.
Kirara, the Cat
Oh yeah, that gets pretty ridiculous.
Maria
>>598415 (OP) guess I'll just have to make a thread for people with no girlfriends
Kirara, the Cat
wow not having a girlfriend is gay
Maria
I heard Kirara doesn't even have a boyfriend What a loser
>>598463 carfentanyl already existed for a while though idk what kind of application the new drug is going to fill since fentanyl already exists but I don't think it's going to make a big difference in the market >>598470 yeah i know
Maria
>>598457 sorry but I got a date at the roller derby
>>598468 what the fda approved was a sublingual form of it one of the meaningful uses for it is emergency type scenarios for pain given its high potency, the sublingual form is fast acting and powerful enough to offer that emergency scenario function without needing to be IV or intramuscular like morphine is that's pretty useful
Kirara, the Cat
>>598468 the VA is going to give it out according to CNN it's basically going to be entering the market en masse
>>598472 i def see that being a potential issue but i don't think those sorts of issues should interfere with the fda's approval of something as clinically relevant
>>598476 i think addiction and abuse potential should absolutely factor into FDA decisions it's not safe for use as they want to use it
月
those are taken into consideration i meant black market concerns that's not what their approval is concerned with addiction and abuse fall under safety which is definitely relevant to its clinical significance
Anno
>>598481 yeah well uhh hit it dude *slams bass guitar*
Anno
Nothing like a walk through a graveyard of your fallen allies with Socrates to be an epilogue chapter to the war.
Anno
nothin like. a high
Kirara, the Cat
>>598482 FDA doesn't really take that stuff into account though
Kirara, the Cat
that's why FDA approves 80% of new drugs FDA is owned by big pharma, so
月
their approval rate is high because trials are expensive and pharma does a shit ton of research to understand whether a new asset will pass approval or not before investing the resources in its trials and the ones that wouldnt, they wait until there's an indication that it can perform better than benchmarks for nobody's pushing for shit they know is gonna fail
Kirara, the Cat
people are absolutely pushing for shit they know is dangerous though
月
i see good uses for sufentanyl, especially in controlled hospital settings with opioid tolerant patients and stuff im not sure why the va would be distributing it that's not the fda's choice to do though
月
man who would willingly want to be a press secretary that is like a nightmare to me

Morning moe
月
morning
Kannagi
I need to get ready. This week is starting. If I leave early I can go to a cafe and get a sandwich or coffee instead of rushing up that stupid hill.
I feel so stressful about this week. I can't help but feel like I've missed something and not done reading I was meant to do. what if the module that is closed for me is actually open for everyone else. ugh
Anno
well there's nothing to it but to do it i guess unless you got an itinerary for reference materials and stuff you need to read
i took a shower and my nose has been bleeding for like 15 minutes now just a little trickle just enough to be annoying as fuck
Kirara, the Cat
that means you have too much blood and it's trying to escape
Anno
that makes so much sense i should just let the blood out and drink it later if i need more blood
Kannagi
I had a nose bleed ... I can't remember when now. both my nostrils were bleeding.
I've never had them both go at once before. >>598496 My class today is a module that isn't open on the online site where they put all the materials. I bet its closed for me and open for everyone and has like a fuckload of readings on it. I guess I 'll find out.
always made on order, on premium buns, premium beef and shit and still costs the same as big mac
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
it is actual burger not fast food like restaurant quality
月
that is probably a regional thing never heard of it
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
yeah it was here last year for the first time I think it popped up first in netherlands
Kirara, the Cat
yeah they don't do it here
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
you even get premium fries
月
yeah mcdonalds are generally better in other countries than they are here some places they're pretty high quality some here in the US are actually a lot better quality if they're in affluent areas but generally it's garbo
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
mcd here is quite good quality compared to other places not that i have eaten mcds much abroads I mean why WOULD I eat mcds when i am abroads...
but ofc, having higher quality standards and finland level minimum wages, means like a big mac is what... 8€ a meal or something
月
if that happened to me though, what you showed from that video, i'd legit just leave i'd be too annoyed to eat
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>598530 yeah if that happened in finland it would lead to death
>>598533 i'd lose my appetite i'd just say "now look what you've done" and just throw the whole tray in the garbage and walk out
月
or i'd pretend like i wasn't paying attention and just start crying while i eat my burger and look as sulky as possible and make them feel really uncomfortable
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
but that was a delish meal also first time using drive through since... 2011 I think
Anno
I'd probably take a video and link it to moe like y'all get a load of this shit
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>what is your name >imgay
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
curiously what would they do if you were say a group of 10 who all ordered the maestro?
Kirara, the Cat
maybe act really worried like im having an episode or something
Kirara, the Cat
i won't kill for you again I TOLD YOU NEVER AGAIN
月
i still think i'd just cry and look like i'm having a really awful day i wonder if they'd still try and press onward with the candid camera bullshit because they're assholes or if they'd just say "you know what, nevermind, turn the tv off and stop bothering her"
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>598543 in europe they'd come and apologise and prolly pay the burger for you
Kirara, the Cat
europe sounds nice
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
USA is famous for its huge lawsuits, but suing people and getting something out of it is much easier here and much cheaper not to mention all da customer protection laws
Kirara, the Cat
that must be nice if i sue someone i will probably just get killed
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
amusingly you have more protective laws here, but less legal rights
Kirara, the Cat
nobody has to follow protective law here for example the agency that decides what water is safe to drink responds to like 10% of complaints investigates fewer and holds even fewer still accountable for water toxicity violations
月
candid camera type shows really piss me off that they even exist fuckin up people's days and you think it's gonna just be okay once they realize it's a prank you're still disrespecting their time and still sometimes doing something awful
Kirara, the Cat
what was that one show where they'd scare people into thinking a murder or alien or some shit was coming after them
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>598549 here they find one tiny piece of plastic in one food item and whole food item gets pulled back, everyone who bought it during "danger time" is refunded and so on and then huge investigation is done to see during which period the foreign item might have entered the food, and is there risk of more foreign items entering the food products
I mean we are speakingof a nation, where HORSE MEAT being sold as pork-beef mincemeat lead to a huge scandal
Kirara, the Cat
scare tactics that was it
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
and it wasn't like horse meat but ,pork-horse-beef
Kirara, the Cat
>>598552 here, they'll hide that anything happened and hope it doesn't happen again
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>598550 only good candid show is that canadian just for laughs since it is 100% harmless
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>598555 here in general it is better to say you done did goofed tahn alter get a billion dollar fine
Kirara, the Cat
the government won't fine companies here unless the company hurts other rich people if you hurt consumers, the government usually gives you money
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
Finnish government gives companies a damn good deal for operating here, as long as they follow the rules atleast somewhat We actually have less strict rules than most countries when it comes to corporations I think lower tax rates even tahn in USA or comparable
Kirara, the Cat月
if i were to do a prank show it'd be like faux reporting grab a camera and microphone and interview passersby on how they feel about the idea of drinking genetically modified water
TN !PcAPtAiNJoTN !PcAPtAiNJo
20% corporation tax damn low
Kirara, the Cat
>>598561 excuse me sir csn // can i ask you what your opinion is, on the recent murder of john lenin what? no, he was killed just last week, sir devout communist had a band
also coincidentally tax information is public here be it private people or corporations or organisations all tax information is accessable to any citizen just contact tax office and say "can I see TN's rax record for 2017" and they hand you the documents
月
>>598564 there's something about subtlety that's not appreciated in stuff like candid shows it's all so over the top even eric andre's street stuff is way over the top still pretty good but not the same
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>598564 your corporation tax is a weird thing, since there are lots of tax deductions and shit going on, but on paper it is way higher
our has been 20 aside from one government term for ages ofc big corporations don't pay taxes in US in the first place like activision, who transfers all their revenue from IP based income to some central american holdings company, through a satellite company in netherlands
Kirara, the Cat
>>598566 yeah i think the subtle absurd is really the sweet spot for comedy
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
as in, any product sold that activision owns the rights to, never ever gets taxed by US gov
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
in terms of the profit actiblizz gets
Kirara, the Cat
taxes suck
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
they fund a lot of things
Kirara, the Cat
unfortunately they fund very little of what id like them to and very much of what i despise
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
Time to "water the tree of liberty with blood of the tyrants" then do as your forefathers would ahve

Wonder can you do it without bloodshed at this point
Kirara, the Cat
with enough time, maybe govt will come in and kill us if we let them though
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
Nah they will just make protests illegal
Kirara, the Cat
and they already try to kill protestors who are protesting legally, so
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
Here they will just shut down your speech try to organise without internet and phones and shit
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
Oh yeah hear this >hey want a cheaper car insurance >just sign up to us and use this CONSTANTLY TRACKIND APP THAT WILL SEE IF YOU ARE A GOOD AND SAFE DRIVER >then we will give you cheap insurance >we just want to CONSTANTLY MONITOR YOU WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING a good deal right?

i tried making a facebook just to use it for love nikki registration so i did that and it was fine then i kept getting emails about notifications and what has changed on facebook and i wanted to go in to unsubscribe from emails or just delete the account but upon trying to log in, it wants me to put in a phone number so that they can send me a code if i ever get locked out of my account there's no option to not do it or to do it later, and if i don't do it, i can't access my account to delete the account or unregister and i'm not willing to give them my phone number
how do so many people use this fucking garbage it's the most abusive site to its users that ive ever seen and people just gobble it up like it's gold
月
it used to require that i submit a photograph of myself, and it used facial recognition to detect if it was really a picture of a person and not a drawing or a picture of something else, and that it wasn't already used that was really absurd and invasive then after the zuccboi hearing and new privacy policy laws, i guess they changed it up a bit
now it's not a requirement to submit a phone number, but any information you've submitted upon first creating the account they now hold hostage until you give them more personal information about yourself before you can delete it
>>598606 im guessin they had to sign somethin without realizing it first derren brown did that kind of stuff by looking for targets who replied to ads about potential filler roles in shows and stuff and people would sign something as part of the application then he'd engage them months later and they wouldn't even think too much about it
i wouldnt be surprised if these people signed up for something but just didn't know what it was really so some apprehension or expectation that they know something's gonna happen but just not what they're probably legitimately a little bit scared but only in that kind of "this is still not real right? i'm pretty sure it's not but it's still scary!" kind of way real true fear is way different than how people behave in this kind of show
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
that looks so acted and I mean ALL parts and not just the acted parts
月
yeah they could also just be actors pretending to not be actors that happens way more often than you'd think
Kirara, the Cat
that's what i think they are
月
or like "hey wanna be on scare tactics? we'll do somethin to spook you but you won't know when it's gonna happen" "yeah sure sign me up"
Kirara, the Cat
id do scare tacticd they don't do the kind of thing that scares me

ive been up for like 14 hours but mostly relaxed most of those i thought i'd get a nap in before work but i couldnt now im getting daydreams while working and that's pretty bad

being a mom is in my blood, runs in the family my mom was a mom, and so was her mom
Kirara, the Cat
i wish my mom had been a mom
月
to be fair my mom wasn't a very good mom she tried though always made mistakes but she was passionate and tried
Kirara, the Cat
that's worth something at least
月
apparently when i was in infancy my dad cut the electric and was shouting and was gonna kill her and us so she took us up to the bedroom and hid us to save us im not sure if that really happened but im sure she believed it i could imagine the power just went out and my dad just shouting because he's loud and my mom having paranoid episodes where she felt danger that wasn't there because that's what she grew up around both stories are probably true
but either way she saved us, or at least intended to in the reality she was experiencing so that's pretty cool
月
then again, if it is true, my dad probably had the right idea all of us woulda been better off dead probs

Sleepy
月
yeah im so sleepy im doing these transcripts with my eyes closed and halfway falling asleep the brain is really funny when it's tired ive got my headphones on and my only input is this crystal clear audio of a school teacher being interviewed, given that my eyes are closed and no other stimuli and my brain is half dream state so i'm visually imagining this person sitting there and syncing their body language and lips to the speech im hearing then i pull out of dream state and i'm like oh, no, there's only audio here there's no video feed

I have enough going wrong already I really don't need this.
Kannagi
Whats wrong?#
Anno
I had an appointment with some one with academic accomodation today to do with my anxiety and other issues that are affecting my work. I didn't get the location I was supposed to meet them at from the phone call I had with them, but the academic accommodation has an office in one of the campus buildings, so I assumed I just would have to go there But after meeting with the front desk staff, not only do I not have an appointment registered with the department, they don't even have a staff member under the name of the person I was supposed to meet with.
I'm already strained for time since I have a makeup test in forty-five minutes. On top of that I'm pretty sure there's a missed appointment fee to pay. I don't want to pay something like that.
Anno
And the counselor who set this up for me isn't responding to email so I guess that's that. It's hard to care about making improvements when things inevitably go wrong when you try.
Kannagi
That really fucking sucks. I feel you. I went in to my GP about anxiety and he handed me a piece of paper with phone number. and it doesn't work. Getting an appointment with my GP in the first place was a huge pain and lots of waiting.
>>598648 >It's hard to care about making improvements when things inevitably go wrong when you try. yeah i feel that i remember similar administrative issues that fucked my academic career up over very simple issues sorry about your struggles
Anno
I've also got an assignment due in like six -four hours that I totally forgot about. And I was supposed to have today's appointment done before I met with the counselor this Friday. I probably can't get academic accommodation without it, which means I don't really have much relief for the class I've been struggling with. I'm coming up on the last day I can drop a class without academic penalty and if I can't get that sorted out before that date I don't know if I want to risk it. But dropping the course would be a huge ball of stress in of itself. I don't want to do this makeup test I don't want to do anything. Just find an invisible corner of the world I could do nothing in for the next forever.
Kirara, the Cat
no AC at the office today got fans everywhere haha
Kirara, the Cat
>>598652 you can get through this it's ok to make a strategic retreat because that's better than failing but don't let it bring you to quitting!
quanta is a really good magazine i'm glad there's a really appropriate article that focuses on the significance of the math involved and not the sensationalist pull
Anno
Well I need to call them back from somewhere quieter, but it's about what I figured. Missed appointment, missed appointment fee. I really don't feel justified in having to pay that. But I also really don't want to bring that up. Anything controversial like that just makes me abhorrently nervous.
Anno
I also wish I could either learn how to talk into cell phones or stop getting phones with shitty microphones. Whichever one it is, it really doesn't make my phone anxiety any better when I know there's going to be at least several instances of "I'm sorry could you repeat yourself".
月
i've always suffered severe phone anxiety what i've learned to do is to think about it as if i'm making the call for someone else when i have to make a call to find out information from a doctor for my mom or something like that, i don't care nearly as much because i'm not the subject of it so i can be objective and just set my goal as information or scheduling something with me i get all flustered and anxious so now i just think about it as though i'm doing it for someone else and mentally prep myself that way distance me from myself a little bit and muscle through it
Anno
Well the late fee's at the doctor's discretion so I guess I just send the most diplomatic email I can and hope this fucker is reasonable.
>>598662 I don't quite think it's the same for me. I don't really like talking in focus much; I get self-conscious of it fast once attention is on me. When you're on the phone that's often the main focus of whoever you're taking with. And so all the faults and awkward things in the way I'm talking feel right in the middle of a spotlight. I can't be another voice in the crowd in a phone call.
月
if i have to take or make calls sometimes i say i'm my secretary that way if i do something stupid i can play it off like im a clumsy goof secretary and not actually me i guess that doesn't work for school stuff though
Anno
Whenever this shitty Chromebook I've got for mobile work goes into sleepmode for a long period of time, or just outright runs out of battery charge, it always reverts from whatever wallpaper I've chosen for it to a default wallpaper of one of those cliched, shot of the ocean, stock image wallpapers. I don't really like images for my wallpaper but at this point I'm just tired of having to constantly change it whenever I ignore it for a while.

I'm kind of hungry but there'll be dinner waiting for me at home. So I'm stuck trying to come up with something I can buy that's cheap and not really filling. But also probably pleasant to eat. Don't really want to eat cardboard to temporarily fill the stomach.
Anno
the only thing I hate about making phone calls is getting put on hold it's like shoving toothpicks under my nails it gets more frustrating the longer it takes
a really good article for once from a pretty high profile magazine

I need things to be doing. Stuff that's enriching and interesting. But doing stuff takes money and requires me to not be terrified and I can't seem to resolve much of either of those recently. And doing nothing only makes this feeling of perpetual dread even worse, which buries me deeper under my terror. And so the cycle repeats.
月
yeah it's a struggle im not really sure what to do with myself either
Anno
What's worse is winter is coming up. I always feel so hibernate-y when it's really cold out. During the summer I can bike and that gets me out of the house even if I don't have things to do. But winter is an additional stack of bricks atop the wall I need to scale before I can be motivated to do anything.
I'm hoping I can find some means of coping or resolving my anxiety and lack of motivation from these counselling and medical health services offered by my university. Or at least find the path to that. Because I'm starting to feel like I'm burning kind of thin here.
月
every day is a matter of survival for me ive got no cushion and im never more than a week out for planned finances i have to make the money this week to survive next week, and i'm constantly falling further behind on taxes owed, not to mention student loans ive been living like this for almost four years now, and shit pops up making things worse every time, like my pc breaking, my roommate in tennessee dipping out, cat infestation tearing apart the ventilation and not having heat making it very difficult to survive the winter, let alone keep working through it and having to pack up and start all over in michigan with no possessions, no bed, no nothing, and now losing my bed it's so desolate feeling i'm getting closer to being crippled i've got no friends or social life outside of some interaction here on /moe/ it's drying up too, half of people either won't talk to me or have drifted off because of being busy a few others sap the joy out of what little interaction i do have im too anxious to leave the house
life's really hard i feel you on burning kind of thin but i still manage to breathe through it all i'm sure you'll find a path forward if you make sure to just breathe
Anno
I'll try!
This regular kind of dour talk probably doesn't harbour encouraging atmosphere though, hah hah. Gotta vent it out somehow though.
Maybe I should get to reading again, I haven't really done a lot of that lately. In the past I'd be tearing through a novel every one or two weeks but I haven't finished a new book recently. Aside from one I pretty much read from front to back in one sitting. But I use to bring a book to read on the subway and in downtime between classes. These days I think I get too much distraction from my phone. Maybe I should start by doing less of that.
FormerRei@mobile

月
reading gives you a lot more room to breathe than a phone distraction you need the big environment to really get deep breaths into your thoughtspace a phone distraction is more like hyperventilating into a paper bag you might be getting some breath but it's just recycled air i think it's good to have that platform to invest a longer period of time and let your brain unfold abit and get breath to all the parts, to explore a bit
have you read everything is illuminated it's one of my favorites
Anno
My biggest problem with books compared to phone stuff is that I can't resist books. Once I start them I'm often drawn in. I finish far more books in one or two sittings/reading sessions than I do in bits and pieces over the course of a while.
I haven't read Everything Is Illuminated, no. I'll look for it in the bookstore when I'm there next.

I've been wanting to get creative again lately. My mind's been feeling frazzled though and the steps just past conception seem to just slip out of my head. How to just do things.
月
im very fond of the real-time conception approach conception and realization in the same process that's what i do when im painting. i dont set out to do something specific i just let the end product be a result of the interaction between me and the medium
i do some polishing up when it does start to take form and it becomes a clear vision to me, but untl then it's just raw curiosity
Anno
I'm not really driven to abstract art, I can't really get into that. Creating is all about trying to bring into physical conception the thing I have in my head. It's weird and frustrating to have what feels like a crystal clear scene I could illustrate floating around in my head, but having no clue what the steps for converting that image from brain data into actual lines, colours, shapes, whatnot, are. That's kind of how I had that music bug a bit back too. There was some ideas of music in my head I wanted to transfer into a more permanent format but I can't do that without understanding how the software I'm using is supposed to work. Writing's really the easiest vehicle I have for converting ideas in my head into something more solid, and even then I get caught up because I have a hard time getting around my linearity and getting the ball rolling in the first place. And lately the blocks have felt really, really strong, no matter how intensely creative I'm feeling at the time.
Anno

i feel like watching an opera
Anno
Ah, sorry. When I try to do something like painting or writing without intent I just kind of feel like I'm a ship in a lull or something. Drifting without moving anywhere. It ends up feeling kind of hollow.
月
the medium is really important it's very much a tactile fascination acrylics wont work for me, nor will watercolor or brushes it has to be ink ink and either a calligraphy pen or literally fingerpainting with ink it's just about what feels good, not about the aftermath as much it's ok though i think i talk about this too much as is im not gonna be too repetitive
What kind of doctor prescribes a clown for treatment anyway. Never mind suckass clowns what a suckass doctor.

it's the punchline from a more well-known joke but redone a bit

they probably don't even know how deaf people think because they have small minds trapped in their skull we should free them from their mortal prison and let their poor malnourished minds out of the brain

they don't think that anyone thinks a study came out that said only a small percentage of humans self-narrate in their heads, which they took to mean that people are literally unthinking puppets and so now they're accusing people of just regurgitating pre-existing lines that have been fed into them and in doing so, they're all just regurgitating pre-existing lines that have been fed to them, essentially becoming the people they think they're mocking
some of them have started to wear "NPC masks" and go to anti-trump protests and they hold a sign that says "trump is bad" and they chant with the protestors and they think they're owning the protestors even though they're literally helping them
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
cheese whiz >>598998 there were some videos popping up in my recommended for that and I wasn't thrilled about it.
Anno
damn this looks sick can't wait to play richter >>599002 damn sounds like an epic prank they should keep pranking the shit out of these dumb lefties
Kirara, the Cat
>>599003 the one where the person goes around and kills women's rights advocates or whatever?
there was also some pro-eugenics dude in the game i beat him up until he ran away sobbing
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
I would imagine. I didn't watch them to find out.
Kirara, the Cat
there are a lot of missions to kill former slave owners and stuff and stealing confederate gold i massacred an entire plantation full of former slave owners
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
congrats
Kirara, the Cat
too bad the game sucks though
Kirara, the Cat
someone told me the epilogue is really good though well, they told me it actually takes place in the west which is good for me because i got this game to see the west
Anno
>no don't worry the game finally gets good when you beat it trust me this is like the ultimate form of goalpost moving final fantasy 13 get outta town there's a new sheriff
Kirara, the Cat
yeah honestly every time i start up the game i want nothing more than for the game to end i'm on the last chapter before the epilogue chapters and guess how much time i've spent in the desert
NONE
i've spent most of this time playing in SWAMPS like some bayou shit there's an area like wyoming that's pretty nice but you spend virtually no time in it
>>599012 fuck I'm glad i spent my money on dark souls instead i was getting a cowboy boner hearing about the game at first
Kirara, the Cat
also you spend a bunch of time on a CARIBBEAN ISLAND
it's not a fucking cowboy game at all like
you can go back to the area in the first game in the epilogue or something but that's after so many hours of gameplay
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>599011 I still have ff13 in its plastic wrapping on my shelf
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
I actually own two copies of ff13 and I'm not sure why.
Anno
>>599017 i have it somewhere but not in the wrap >>599018 i own three copies of ff13 they have a different number at the end of the title for some reason and I'm not sure why the picture of lightning on the cover is nicer though maybe the number is for how powerful lightning is on the cover
Kirara, the Cat
also if you kill someone in self defense and someone sees it and you /// and guess what happens they report it as a murder unless you try to talk them out of it and guess what happens if you do that they get scared and run away and you have to kill them or you'll have to leave the fucking state so you can come back and do missions while anonymous
if someone runs their horse into yours, they fall off, and immediately start shooting you every time
Kannagi
3 hours done. I have ancient history next, I've had fun doing the readings for it. Maybe I'll be more awake by then. 3 more hours then home. Gambare!
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
do your best
Anno
>>599021 ancient history sounds fun it's always great to remember the classics
Kannagi
Its the most organised module. Iy All the others are haphazardish and less detailed. >>599025 I'll propose that.
Kirara, the Cat
just play assassins creed if you want history
Kannagi
I remember using age of empires and caeser 3 as source for school history when I was tiny.
Kirara, the Cat
the newest doctor who was pretty boring
Anno
>>599027 it took me a while to realize this wasn't an incomplete sentence
Anno
>>599025 i would rather read an entire history textbook than play one session of assassins creed's combat
Kannagi
I've never played an assassin creed game before. Most of what ive seen is running around roof tops and hiding.
Kirara, the Cat
>>599029 origins and odyssey has really good combat have it's like actual combat now you know you have to guard, dodge, light attacks, heavy attacks
Kannagi
I'm debating if there is any point to drinking this red bullm I am pretty sure ill be just wired and groggy which probably suck.
Anno
red bull gives you wings and as much caffeine as a cup of coffee while costing more and tasting worse
>>599043 I guess I need to be careful with dosage. I have small scale for weighing stuff.
Kirara, the Cat
there is info about doing in the article you should take .5-1g to start at the absolute most
i usually take 2-3g but im more experienced
Anno
i took 1g at first and it was nice now i usually take 3g i think it helps a lot with comedowns from other drugs tbh that's what I usually use it for also helps with feelings of anxiety but i don't have an anxiety disorder or anything
Kirara, the Cat
the first time i took it i forgot how to feel sad it was weird i don't get that anymore but it does help with depression
Anno
it definitely has a habit of making me nauseous if I'm hungry though I always take it before or right after eating
Kannagi
Its a lot smaller doses than I imagined. 100g will last me a while then.
Kirara, the Cat
I got 100g of g maeng da yesterday I've still got about 30g of red and like 20g of g borneo though
Anno
i can't get any more from the guy i liked cause he bailed after getting his shipments stuck in transit isn't that pretty weird for a legal substance
Anno
they should legalize all drugs
Kirara, the Cat
yeah that's weird
Anno
make me president I'll legalize it
Kirara, the Cat
did you vote yet write yourself in for governor
Anno
I'm gonna vote in like an hour
Kirara, the Cat
they didn't let me vote lol
Anno
what why
Kirara, the Cat
because florida voting registration went down two days before the deadline so apparently everyone who registered around that time missed the deadline for registering to vote in this election lol
Anno
Wait what do you have to register more than once there?
Kirara, the Cat
i moved so i had to re-register
Anno
ohhh damn that sucks i never really thought about that since I've lived in the same place the whole time I'm sure it was a completely random technical failure that affected every single person and isn't a fucking charade
Anno
Here you're automatically registered to vote when you do your tax filing. Though I guess I'm not sure if that would re-register if you moved afterwards. As long as you can identify yourself legally you can usually vote though.
Anno
oh you can change it when you change the address on your driver's license or state ID here
>>599072 they should make me governor ill abolish the government
Anno
turn Florida into the wild west
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
i will need to develop it first and build an army too busy and dangerous to send troops from europe there considering I am in a war with france, spain and sweden (lol) but spain has too many ships
>>599092 >come call him cujo others THE DOG ... come on
Kirara, the CatFormerRei@mobile
>>599093 The hardware level encryption on pretty much every ssd on the market didn't use your password as part of the encryption key so any sd encrypted that wy could be decrypted by putting it into debug mode.
>>599101 I want to try a little. I smells like green tea powder. *it
Kirara, the Cat
>>599102 it's good to try it your first time when you don't have plans just to be safe i recommend taking .5g and waiting an hour and if you're good, take another .5g just to start out after that, you can experiment more just important to be safe when taking drugs
kratom does have some addiction potential so if you start using it you'll want to take occasional breaks
Kannagi
I was thinking of using it help me focus on studying and getting some homework done. How quickly does it kick in and how long does it last>
I have small scale, I guess I will weight out some and then dissolve it into a glass of water?
Kirara, the Cat
it won't dissolve into water it will be and taste disgusting
takes about 30 minutes to kick in, sometimes sooner if you haven't eaten lately
the article i sent you has recommendations on how to take it
Kannagi
Thanks. I'll give it a go in a bit.
Kirara, the Cat
when it wears off (6-8 hours after use) for the first few times you use it, you're going to get tired and you're gonna sleep so good
Anno
This little seating pocket I'm killing time in until my next class has ridiculous accoustics. I can hear my humming bounce around me. If there weren't other people here too I'd totally play around with that.
Kannagi
The murky green water looks so unappetising wow.
Kirara, the Cat
Well, most people use chocolate milk to hide the taste. But bottoms up! Don't let it sit in your mouth or you'll get powder in your teeth.
>>599116 Also since bitlocker uses the hardware encryption from the SSD it means that Microsoft's builtin Windows encryption feature also does not work.
Autoresolve in tw:empire would be a fun source for very interesting war stories take ths case 2 artillery crews, 36 men, going against 2 whole armies, outnumbering them almost 20 to one and they kill almost 800 men before going down in a blaze of glory
ps the autoresolve is bullshit
Anno
The guy who produced Despicable Me is apparently working on putting together a new Shrek movie.
Kirara, the Cat
>>599120 You can probably take another .5g if you want to or not up to you
I saw your call to action on the bus ride home and my mind went straight to The Cask of Amontillado. The rest of it was spent trying to figure out how to make it work.
Kirara, the Cat
yeah cask of Amontillado is exactly what i was thinking
Kannagi
Oh wow. I remember first hearing the cask of amontillado. I was watching this: >>>/watch?v=QUPBiyHbAFc its a weirdly strong memory for some reason
Maria
>>599122 Shrek 1 and 4 are great movies and I thought the first despicable me was alright I'll watch it
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
I only saw shrek 1 and 2 and two was still okay kinda good even at times
Maria
I don't remember a whole lot about 2 other than that it really upped the pop culture references Shrek has really fantastic growth as a character in 1 though.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>599134 The second continued quite well where the first one left and it has that awesome final scene with the I need a Hero song
>lose 2 ships to friendly fire >enemy ships despite having lost 60% of crew and cannons keep rallying >enemy does not have an admiral game PLS the naval combat is already asinine because AI controls each ship with perfect micromanagement while player can't entrust anything to the auto-ai, since auto ai is "enemy in range FIRE ALL (even if there are 10 friendly ships in the way)" and "ordered tot urn, TURN" even if there is a friendly ship in thew ay and you collide with it and then take 5 minutes real time to untangle you from the mess you wound up in and then the enemy CHEATS
way to take you out of a mood to play a game
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
and you can see that the AI is cheating when the ship that just gave up the fight TAKES UP ARMS the moment your ships that were engaged with it have turned into bad position and then it GIVES UP again after one shot and rinse repeat for fucking 4 times untill the three ships that engaged it surrendered due to getting broadsides to their rear...
oh and you can't actually fire upon surrendered ships on purpose
so the enemy gets free reload while being untargettable and then gets a free shot at your ships weakspots and then repeats it with minimal damage
you fucking what
and without an admiral to actually rally your troops and FUCKING 4 TIMES IN A ROW hell if one ofm y ships routs it is a miracle it returns to the battle and that is with an admiral right next to it
Kannagi
Kratom is actually pretty good. I wasn't expecting much at first because of how subtle it was.
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWETN !PcAPtAiNJo
jimmies ruffled
I think i will go play less aggravagating game like dark souls
idk what yall pussies are on about i think it tastes fine not any worse than protein powder
Anno
>>599138 regularly but it still tastes like powdered grass and dirt it's not bad if you take it with milk though
usually i just take it and wash it down with water because I'm lazy
月
i had some just a little bit ago and i was out of milk so i mixed it with yerba mate and holy shit that was bad though tasted like bile
the reds have a lot better flavor imo the yellow sulawesi actually has a horrifying taste but it feels great
Anno
yeah red tastes better i guess it's more close to earthy than grassy
when i could still get the green suma from my preferred seller i just encapsulated it in 1g capsules using this thing i bought from a Chinese medicine shop for ten bucks
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
naval battles in tw games fun when you manage to conduct them like a musical piece and in the 9/10 cases, complete asinine
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
no wonder they cut them out in twhammer games
月
>>599161 oh shit did you get a capsule machine i have one they're so much fun
Anno
>>599164 Yeah it's pretty cool but my fingers cramp up after taking apart 200/300 capsules filling them is fun though
Kannagi
>>599156 It really is amazingly smooth. I was thinking how to describe it, I feel its weird to say but "normal" like everything was just too busy before.
Anno
yeah it's kind of a stabilizer for me i guess except way less hellacious than lithium
月
it stabilizes me too a big issue i have is that i can't usually eat because my mood and ability to function is so vulnerable, and just eating and having that change moves me out of my comfort zone to make me feel upset and irritated kratom stabilizes me so my mood isn't so vulnerable and i can eat and change tasks and stuff without having it distress me that's the part of kratom that helps with anxiety
Kirara, the Cat
i want to fill capsules with dirt
Kirara, the Cat
sand
Anno
>>599169 hey doc fill me some capsules with opium will ya i got a killer toothache
月
15 days without alcohol now 6 days i think without benzos
KannagiAnno
>>599172 impressive work i broke my spree of not being a dumb ass fairly recently but I've renewed my vows to try and be less retarded
月
im not even trying to quit benzos i just have been enjoying my former self so much that i haven't felt like taking them i haven't felt any dangerous feelings yet so it's probably okay >>599173 are ya feelin more at ease i redose about every four to six hours
Kannagi
I definitely feel more at ease, I don't feel particularly productive but being this peaceful makes me realise how stressed I was.
月
it's kind of a milk tea and mahjong on a summer evening with the cicadas chirping kind of feeling
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
oh you can upgrade estuses to heal more...
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
and I think I used up the item that would have upgraded it... wonder if that did anything for mea t the time...
Kannagi
The firekeeper soul?

yeah I think I just ate it or something

oh neat I have a shield that gives me stamina regen

hee it was not a slime

but that was a fun fight quite easy though
Kannagi
Did you get the tail?
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
fuck no
Kannagi
Its a fun weapon. I wish I could play dark soul again for the first time. It is a lot of fun.
I'm currently in Anor Londo in the remaster. I forgot to get the peculiar doll so I have to go back to the start again.
Kirara, the Cat
what a long dong diddly day

hmm actually where to now...

What a long dong
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
>>599196 near the entrance to the hallway to that boss there's a gate you can open it now
i asked fish to start the stew like an hour ago so it would be almost ready when i got home but she didn't even though she said she would an hour ago
Anno
fish stew
Anno
How are we all this hour? ded? should I set an alarm to ask this later?
Anno
my selves are doing pretty good thanks good to hear you're swell
月
i'm doing just swell how about you're self
Anno
I've got cake.
Anno
ooo what kind spooky glitch going on here
Anno
Well, had cake.
Kirara, the Cat
I'm pretty miffed
Anno
>>599211 Some kind of triple chocolate cake. Chocolate cake blocks sandwiching a rich center of this kind of halfway point between creamy and solid milk, dark, and white chocolate.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
I found someone's sex tou
Anno
>>599213 about the stew? >>599214 sounds good but maybe way too rich for my tastes >>599218 hope your hunger and frustations go away
man I can't read SHIT
Anno
>>599213 It's pretty annoying when you expect to be able to eat at a certain time and have to have it delayed.
>>599269 yeah also you can try to progress down ere but youll eventually get walled off again until later >>599271 fire link, which is actually a good place to go right mow anyway with both bells rung

where is he now?

I think I found lucifer
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
FOR THE WALL GODDESS IN OUR SKIRTS
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
did you kill ceaseless
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
it killed me from something like 20 metres away with its attack I love hitboxes now it is spamming its undodgeable unblockable fireball
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
He's a big bully
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
man he has bullshit hitboxes I am FUCKING MILES AWAY no it hits this time What about that time I was CLOSER to this slam attack It missed so it hits this time when i was FURTHER away yes kay
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
huehue I am ah ard boss My difficulty is in that I hit you when I am not
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
this is one of the shittiest bosses since moonbuttergay
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
You eventually do need to beat him, but you can wait if you need to. So you can punch him hard enough to shrug off his damage.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
rip humanity
he attacked me thorugh the wall I am going to ram my scimitar into your ass BUT YOUR ASS IS IN LAVA GET UP HERE YOU BITCH
this is equally anus fight as that metal gear spider fight in MGR
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
oh have you uh used any- you haven't do you have any fire keeper souls
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
I ate the only one I found sicne I didn't know what do with them
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
>ate it I'm sad It buffs your estus you give it to a fire keeper makes it heal-oh
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
yeah I know that now but guess DID I KNIOW THAT BACK THEN
I even ASKED HERE no one told me
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
well good news is there's one on the way up from blighttown if you go into an unpleasant hallway of poison darts and firedogs
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
and THERE STILL ISN'T ANYONE I CAN DUMB OFF MY STUFF for fucks sake so much cluter shit items in my inventory
FormerRei@mobile
Feed it to Frampt
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
He literally just unlocked frampt
FormerRei@mobile
So then he literally can just do it.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
so what do you do agains this attack it can't be dodged you can't block it
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
I think it's actually dodgeable with a well timed roll but it's tricky.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
no it is not the splash fire dmg still hits you
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
That is not a good boss >how do you fight it dodge its boring attacks that sometimes hit you from 20 character widhts away despite dodging and then deal 4-5 attacks to it rinse repeat
that is the WORST kind of boss okay the WORST design was the fucking moongay >dodge its hits, taht sometimes fuck your FPS so that you can't dodge >oh here comes a hit that can't properly be dodged and must be blocked >and then rush over to hit it few times
if you have giant bosses make killing them somewhat engaging not just hitting their ankles or shit it is FUCKING ANAL and how does the bsos even DIE from he hitting its tentacles...
not to mention once again >it hits despite you being WAY away from its smash range >as far away as EVERY OTHER TIME WHEN YOU DODGED IT and then of course it has that fire attack thatj ust HITS
what annoys me the most is that I WOULD HAVE KILLED IT IN ONE BLOW on the first run HAD IT NOT FUCKING HITBOXED ME
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
I will not debate that with you, ceaseless is pretty boring.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
so is there a way to activate an elevator to wall goddess?
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
There actually is an elevator there but it's more of a shortcut to elsewhere rather than a quick way to get to her. You'll be able to teleport after an important plot boss though.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
there should be quick travel between bonfires FROM THE START
Of the many things that went wrong in DaS2, some things went very right.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>here is a mechanic that would be REALLY USEFUL and SAVE SO MUCH TIME for players >quick travel between checkpoints >nah let's not add it, is not like they will like it
So many bad game designs in Dark Souls... why do people like it so much? those are not "features" they are game dev going "can't be arsed"
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
It's pretty satisfying.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
I am nto saying it isn't a fun game I am just pointing out how fucking flawed it is in terms of many game design elements that were common place in other games of the time
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
Hell didn't demon souls have quick travel to any big spot from the hub world...
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
Demon's Souls also wasn't open like Dark Souls is though. The worlds were linear with checkpoints at each boss.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
Even more so to add quick travel to das
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
and youi can't even hit the flame turds retard face without falling off
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
Oh yeah did the eggsack guy at the wall goddes shrine have any importance I instantly attacked him out of reflex
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
did well not really he sells some pyromancies and can cure you if you get EGGified but there are other ways to get that I hope.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
Well I have one more anti-egg item how do you get egged?
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
BY THE WAY DONT GET EGGED
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE

I don't get the eastern europeans What 100 years? what about 1939-1989?
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
what do you do with covenants anyhow?
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
They have different benefits for joining and ranking up. The spider gal's covenant is considered PVE content >>599317 your kick gets replaced and your soul gain is halved.

they're gobbing her! and then they're gonna gob me!

I didn't have much to eat today. Missed breakfast and didn't really have a dinner. At least I had a bit of sandwich for lunch. Guess I could have some crackers and cheese.
月
i bought a couple soups with a gift card i still have i got no money winter gon be tough
Anno
I hope you can manage. The winters can get pretty nasty up here.
月
hey blue we're setting up a mahjong game if you would be interested
月
>>599324 yeah we're basically neighbors at this point you are a little closer to the lakes which can affect the precipitation quite a bit though
Anno
Yeah. We're getting a lot of rain right now but winter's are usually pretty snowless around here until January/February. Though the biting cold comes as it pleases.
月
i'm thinking im gonna get a table and a comforter and make a makeshift kotatsu for my room and probably just not leave me room all winter but by table i mean like a tall, long table probably that i can be completely under the normal kotatsu table might not work here it would if i had that kind of floor seat setup they have i need my hands to be warm in order to work though
Anno
Yeah, I wish I had some better means of keeping my hands warm. It's not bad enough to incapacitate me but man I hate the feeling of cold fingers. i end up in a state of perpetual grouchiness when I'm like that.
Hey moon. Can kratom sit in a water bottle overnight or should I chuck the water and do it fresh?
Anno
>>599423 it's a bit much too explain in the truck on my break it basically comes down to money problems people are fucked up and so am I so nothing really new but that's okay
月
>>599424 i do it fresh every time i don't know if it could or not i never use water, only milk if it's not wasting a lot i would do it fresh
>>599433 it's more something you drink you could chew on the raw leaves maybe but you wouldn't swallow the leaves, just chew you can make tea or mix the powder into a beverage
