I saw my mother naked at 7yo so I started crying and pretended to have fainted (because I saw that in a cartoon), then my grandpa told me I will see more naked women in the future while laughing

 

And why is it Mahou Shoujo Beanis-Chan?

CrossCode

The desert temple and the jungle area are too tedious even if they are as quality as the rest of the game. The story ending in the DLC was ass and didn't resolve some things that needed to imo, mainly:

spoilerSidwell's fate

Rabi-Ribi

I can tolerate the fanservice because I have terminal weeb brainrot since childhood, but I can't recommend the game to anyone else even though it is a great metroidvania with awesome bossfights and music.

ZeroRanger

(endgame spoilers for ZeroRanger and Void Stranger)The save-deleting gamble near the end of the game fits perfectly with the buddhism theme, as it symbolizes surrendering your earthly attachments to achieve enlightenment, however I feel it violates some fundamental game design sanity rule. This might be a me issue honestly, because due to ADHD I get frustrated with repetition easily. Doing it again in Void Stranger was inexcusable though, it didn't enhance the value of the game as art in any way and seemed as something the dev did to be quirky.

Breath of the Wild

It would have been a perfect game I could play forever if it had bigger dungeons and more than 10 enemy types.

(CW substance abuse)I might be forming an addiction to dissociatives. I'm not sure if my experience qualifies, but I am pretty depressed due to my executive dysfunction issues which are exacerbated by work, and whenever I feel particularly down I feel an intense craving for the drugs. Is this how it begins? I am trying really hard to not take them, but sometimes I think that since my life (excluding my relationships thankfully) is fucked, I deserve the relief my bladder be damned

I don't really like multiplayer games, but thanks for the offer heart-sickle

I am in one of my "I can't find anything to do even though I have a ton of things to try" phases again. My brain is so fickle sometimes

I am supposed to go to the office every day and I have already stayed at home for two days lmao. I am waiting with bated breath to see if I will get an angry message from my boss. Yesterday I slept all day after work (I went to the office), so I wasn't able to shower and I couldn't go to work today while stimky. I'm such a trainwreck holy shit

Something similar happened with our chat as well. My life has some very good parts right now, but I can't help but miss the chaotic fun of those days sometimes

 

Feel free to speak about your favorites, recommend games to other users and anything else you can think of. My rationale for my favorites is the following (I am not a very good writer so bear with me):

Planescape Torment: Interesting setting which I feel is drug-fueled to an extent, great gritty atmosphere, the writing is very good and the narrative is extremely interesting and well done. Go blind and you won't regret it.

Terraria: The game has a lot of flaws (and I prefer the exploration focus before hardmode more than the boss rush), but I have played it a ton of times alone, or with my gf, or with friends so it is my comfort game and I can always relax when playing it. Also, he Thorium mod is a pretty good content mod that stays true to the spirit of the game.

FFXIV: Shadowbringers: It's the climax of the whole story of FFXIV, where almost all of the mysteries are resolved, the plotlines converge and the main antagonists are confronted and explored. I love the setting, the enemies and the lore of the First as a whole, and the story if full of emotion and more thematically rich than one would expect, with a part of the game being a direct parallel of the first world during climate change, and it involves positively if naively portrayed class struggle.

ZeroRanger: Besides the amazing aesthetic, soundtrack and the good gameplay (two of the bosses are some of my favorite of all time), the game blends the story with every aspect of the gameplay seamlessly and it perfectly executes the Buddhism theme in ways I cannot explain without spoiling you. It also has its fair share of emotional moments, and is the perfect mecha anime-like game imo. OFF: Fucked up surreal RPG maker game with a unique aesthetic and disturbing atmosphere and soundtrack. The story has many interpretations and it makes great use of the gaming medium in a meta way to make you feel things. It's probably the most artistic game I have ever played.

Trails in the Sky trilogy: I used the 3rd for my 3x3 since it is the one that impacted me the most emotionally due to the amazing character writing and the emotional journey of the protagonist, but the whole trilogy is the peak of JRPGs for me, with a very fun combat system, amazing music, characters and an interesting setting with great worldbuilding. Some dislike it due to being slower plot-wise than games like Final Fantasy, but that just gives the characters and the setting time to be fleshed out, making you much more invested when shit actually goes down. The portrayal of the nationalist antagonists and the politics as a whole are lib, but in the face of everything else that makes the games good I can easily ignore it.

Hollow Knight: This is pretty much the perfect platformer in all aspects except the music which is very good but not exactly my style. The aesthetic, exploration and bosses are all amazing and I thoroughly enjoyed my time with it.

Katamari Damacy: Has a very unique style of gameplay and humor which accompanied with the great Shibuya-kei soundtrack makes for a great stress reliever game. The final level is something to behold as well (I won't spoil you).

These games have become part of me (sorry for the cheesiness), and if you haven't played them you are doing yourself a disservice.

I might not be able to find more cool stuff due to work, but I truly want to share everything I found with the world somehow. I even dreamt that I talked about ZeroRanger with a coworker and that I agitated to all of my coworkers about communism. I want to express myself without fearing that neurotypicals will find me weird but I don't know how.

I always wondered why my parents had such mid taste as I grew up, but when I found their old records I understood. They weren't always like that, when they were young, they had their favs but work and children changed everything. Now I understand this from experience as well, I don't find as many hidden gem songs, anime, games etc anymore, I just don't have the time and energy and stick to what I know. I also suspect that this is one of the reasons why older people have old beliefs, they just don't have the time to think about things. This effect honestly scares me, I can already feel that I am much more boring than 8 months before, and I don't have the time to follow the news, read theory and essays, and experience some peak media like I did before. I only feel like my old, cooler self on drugs, I hate this

 

I substituted brown lentils for red lentils because we like them more and it was great. Curries and salsas + rice/pasta are peak food wholesome

 

I have the following symptoms:

  • Hair thinning on the top of my head
  • Feeling more tired than usual
  • Going to the toilet more often
  • Feeling colder compared to my gf despite being fatter
  • Dry skin

Could these be related to the change in my diet? If so I will go for a blood test, which vitamins would you recommend me to check? (I will obviously take them as supplements if needed)

Other changes in my life in the last year were finding a job and starting Zoloft.
