  • I beat Warcraft 2 base game and I'm playing through the expansion right now. I never managed to get this far without cheating when I was younger, the AI is a little shit I swear.

    I also 100% ratchet and clank 1 & 2, playing through 3 right now.

    I started dungeon keeper 1 with dungeon keeper FX. Very nostalgic and fun, did the first 3-4 levels.

    I kinda stopped my vintage story save because despite knowing what I should do to progress I kinda burned out. Maybe I should try a casual difficulty world once, because the game is long and difficult enough. I always burn out on the grind and the time it takes to do things by the time I'm at bronze+

    Have not progressed my silksong steel heart save. Might get back into it when there's updates?

  • Managed to beat base-game Warcraft 2 without cheating for the first time in my life (last time I was young and bad at games).

    God damn the last human mission to destroy the dark portal was unreasonably hard.

    I'm in the orc campaign for the expansion now and some of these missions do NOT fuck around

  • Fun fact the game didn't have pronouns at first and the dev added them to the character creator just to piss the chuds off. It has zero purpose in the game and the pronouns never come up.

  • If it makes you feel better I'm in my early 30s. I kept the disassociation going for 10+ years and it had time to do a lot of damage.

    It's very possible to overcome especially with support IRL, but even without it you can do it!! You're stronger than you think!

  • Ive been through a similar phase early, not sure how much it was the actual hormonal change or more psychological, or both.

    Basically it felt like the mask was too heavy, the emotional dam bursting. I think you have to allow yourself to feel these things and let them go through. You probably have, like me, mountains of anxieties and a constant form of masking, obsessive self-awareness (looking at yourself looking at yourself, anticipating or imagining how people see you, etc), or maybe a form of disassociation like I had.

    I don't know how old you are but doing that long term is basically trauma. It may not be as visible, and you probably minimise it like I do, but its trauma, you're traumatised. There's a lot of feelings behind the dam. They probably don't make too much sense because of how clogged it was for so long. Its good to let it flow, and it will be overwhelming for a little bit, confusing. But after some time it'll be healthy again. The pipes cleared, the flow tamed.

    I had difficulty feeling before, like everything was delayed. I would realize I felt bad about something hours, days after the event. "Oh shit yea I've been scared about this for days I'm so dumb". For years, more than a decade even, I've been forcing myself to bury things, ignore them, minimise them. So it will take a while for my body and mind to adjust and be able to feel properly, without delay or other coping mechanisms. But I can see the changes.

    You'll see them too, hope you can hang in there, and don't be hard on yourself. You are infinitely stronger than you realise.

    I had to find the internal voice that developed over time from a coping help to an abusive intruder, isolate that voice, recognise what that part of the mind says can be false or unhelpful, and heal it. I delayed and boymodded and hid for a while and now I'm finally realising that if I feel good, if I like what I see in the mirror, I don't actually give a shit what others think. Im realising the strength I have.

    Stay strong girl <3

  • Feels like there's a lot of hostility here lately.

  • The general feeling of helplessness, frustration, and all the existing problems are exacerbated by how much terrible shit happening especially in the US.

    People have to remind themselves that while agitation and education is good, getting mad at people online and arguing isn't really doing that much and i don't consider it activism. It's okay though. You're allowed to not have the ability to do much, and to have to focus on yourself.

    But you can't fall into doomerism, nihilism, etc. That's not revolutionary, and it's not helpful. It harms you and other around you.

    I also agree with others on this thread, if your actions and convictions don't come deep down from love and empathy, you will get lost. I have a lot of hatred, but that's because I have a lot of love, for everyone. Even people i get mad at IRL, libs, etc. I want everyone to have a happy life.

    I think we're going a little insane from seeing all this shit and being unable to do anything concrete about it. Tensions are high as you said.

    In any case, i love everyone here.

  • He did do that and responded to questions the other day on his stream, maybe there's a video someone made.

    I think a lot of people won't care or ever hear about it, because this has always been an obvious smear spread from destiny/h3 circles, the people getting mad about it aren't regular watchers or don't know anything about Kaya, and they probably won't see his response sadly.

  • Nothing happens in the video lmao. Dogs do just yelp sometimes, and it looks like she just caught herself on something while getting off her bed. She's literally been on stream many hours every day since she was a baby, there's many guests and friends that come by all the time. He has like insta videos and other shit with her when she's playing or walking (every single day) and not on stream. They found literally one instance of her yelping in a somewhat suspicious way out of thousands of hours of stream.

    The smear got so annoying he had to talk about it yesterday, if you really care about it you can find it on his stream, maybe someone made a video of it. He's never used a shock collar on her, he has a vibrating collar (the kind that can help to call a no-leash dog when they're too far to hear) with tracking/etc. She's on bed with a "place" command to stay on it because she's a huge dog and they get joint problems when they lay on the ground, etc etc. I'm not gonna do the whole thing but she's one of the best treated dog i've ever seen, his podcast co-host has an animal conservation thing, and everything he does with his dog is with a vet or dog trainer.

    He did say he felt bad about not immediately going to check on her at the time after she yelped. The videos going around are edited to hell, he's frustrated with something else at first and slightly later goes to check on her and gives her belly rubs.

  • And another french PM down, that was the 4th 5th in this term of Macron.

    Lecornu just quit, a day after announcing his government, a month after being appointed PM. He knew he was gonna get censored because he was recycling all the ministers from previous govs.

    Will macron name another poor shmuck? Will macron fuck off and call new presidential elections? Another parliament dissolution with legislative elections?

  • Done with skong but occasionally do a couple hours on my steel soul run. I give myself "checkpoints" by doing a backup of the save whenever I've done a big thing, haven't had to use them so far and I'm up to mid act 2.

    Been getting back into Vintage Story latest update with a bunch of mods. Found a cool better ruins' abandoned village and used that as my place. Got a bunch of copper, started making bread and pies, pretty decent resources but lack of lime or alternatives for soaking pelts and making leather. I managed to sieve enough flax pulp to make parchment and craft my map finally (I play on wilderness, with craftable cartography so no directions, coordinates or map unless you craft stuff to get it. Makes you rely on your own directions, markers, etc. Easy to get hopelessly lost.) I need to find a source of lime or borax for leather making, and now I got a map I can travel far and do some prospecting.

    I also started playing rain world! Cryptic, very hard, but I love it. Reached what seems to be a milestone/important step in the first campaign (survivor). Slugcats are cute :3

    Also, I got Warcraft 2 BNE installed in lutris to play that again for some reason. Felt like playing Warcraft 2. I really want to do a full ratchet and clank thing at some point and play through all I can emulate. I only played like 1-4(?) I think so some others to discover if they can be emulated

    Oh I'd tried cultist simulator too but haven't found time to keep going. It was really neat so I want to at some point.

    Damn I'm back in gaming. Also want to get into Hades 1 for real, never really did when it was popular.
