I got it from my sister as a kid. I felt fine. She is six years older and was pretty bad with it.

A lot of people are saying it.

Slacker

I get that side of it. I honestly rarely play any games these days looking for feeling like a sense of accomplishment. I just play for an escape more than that.

I also enjoy some grindy games. So the meta progression can fit that for me. But I certainly agree it isn’t for everyone. That is what makes gaming so great. Usually something out there for everyone and it would get pretty boring if they were all the same.

This is how I’ve seen it. I only like the Lights usually because I enjoy meta progression. I feel like it makes the difference for me to feel like I’m not just wasting my time. I should also mention I’m pretty terrible at games so the meta progression helps me make progress where other games I’d be stuck too often.

Ah yes the bright one that called on women from other states to rush to Iowa to vote for her husband.

I admit I fell for some of that. Thought he could be a more dangerous version. Didn’t realize when he got in front of people he has the charisma of a rock and a brain not much better.

Hellblade Senua’s Sacrifice. Played it with headphones as many suggested. I had recently lost my uncle, who by the time he died, was in a pretty bad state mentally. Seeing and hearing things that weren’t there. Everyone out to get him. Calling to say the cops were trying to break into his home. No one was there.

He was a good guy and incredibly funny. Introduced me to the greatness of Monty Python at a young age. He was getting some better help near the end, finally. In part because he finally was accepting help.

He was a Vietnam vet, and from what everyone told me came back changed like so many did. This, in part, led to drug use that spiraled him down. Much better handled than some as he always held a job and such.

But the game made me think of what he might have been experiencing, and it was overwhelming for me. I think I stopped a third of the way through. It is very well done, but I just couldn’t deal with it.

How dare they!

Too many syllables for him to read. So it would be wasted if he can’t be annoyed by it.

When this was posted before someone who followed it fairly closely and others like it, updated the thread with info because the article was behind current info. They had already stopped the trials for MS because it wasn’t working. So they began to just focus on one other, the Crohn’s, I believe. Figuring if they got one to work, they could go back to the others and get them on the right track.

I have MS, and while this is a new approach, there have been so many articles about treatments that end up going nowhere after the first excitement. So it is still very early to get hopes up.

Hope can be a dangerous thing. Hope can drive a man insane, as Red said.

Well, they have always been a group of “Do as I say, not as I do” sort of crowd.

Key word potential. I’ve seen so many of these over the years. The frustrating ones can be like these when even the earliest clinical trials haven’t been started.

Sounds cynical, I know, but I’ve lived with the disease for a long time. Something like this will get circulated in support groups without them understanding just how early this is for a potential treatment.

Which is so odd to me. I get that some are trying to play the innocent until proven guilty thing. But the thing is, we know for a fact he has essentially lied about his resume and won an election based on it. Every place I worked, you could be fired if they found out you lied on an application or resume. Why should it be any different with this? So even without a conviction on the legal side of things, they all should have wanted him out based on fabricating his whole life.

I don't think being mentally ill makes Kanye antisemitic. Just makes it so he doesn't hide it like others may do.

I think as men get older, we also tend to have less close friends than women. Or at least it sure seems to be that way for many. Saw it with my dad before we lost him last year. I see it with my brother and myself. It has brought me and my brother somewhat closer in that we text and talk more than we used to despite not living close and being pretty different personalizes.

I have a few close friends, but not male ones. I had to stop working at a young age and I feel that is when I stopped having a connection to any sort of male bonding.

But I agree, that it still seems unacceptable to open up, share feelings, and be vulnerable as a man. Probably why I have mostly had women as close friends most of my adult life.

I appreciate that link. A really great look at the situation.

I'm with this. Unless it is about work, let people believe what they want. Or else you end up discussing a lot of stuff like religion and politics in a place it doesn't need to be.

I can't get it to really play at all on Steam #eck, though I've heard others do. Mine either doesn't load or crashes soon after it does.

I haven't had a chance to see if there have been any further controller improvements since the Deck is my only way to play it currently. I hope they continue to try to refine it. They definitely made improvements from how it started.

Always good to see a big turn out in the younger population. No matter the country.
