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.
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.
To be fair, I’m sure I’ll forget about this in less than an hour. Secret will be safe with me.
I believe that is the one that his car was targeted, but she happened to be in it at the time when he was expected to be.
Curious how that customer reacted. Hopefully well.
I used to get Domino’s delivered to me years back. Often in the winter with snow on the ground and it is near zero. I always put my porch light on and waited near the door. The app showed me they were close, so why wouldn’t I? I can’t believe how many drivers thanked me for just doing these things. Many told me they’d often wait 5 minutes after knocking or ringing the doorbell. Like WTF? You know your order is coming.
I’d free feed then, most likely. I have had multiple dogs before and free fed. Never had an issue other than sometimes you introduce a new puppy to it and that first day or two they overeat before realizing hey this stuff is always here.
This current dog, I told the vet she did that and he just shrugged and said some prefer to eat small amounts throughout the day rather than the twice a day I was adjusting to after three times a day.
My dog is almost two. She decided one day when she was about 6 months old that she was going to be a free feeder. Was such a quick change. One day, she is excited as could be to get food and scarf it all down. The next, she’d only eat about half of her helping and then the rest later in the day. As I type this, I hear her eating a bit now.
It wasn’t a huge deal since my previous dogs had been free feeders. I wasn’t planning to do that with her, but it works.
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.
That is what my thought was right after the first attack. No one in Palestine could benefit from such an attack. Just Hamas leadership and most likely Iran benefits by sparking more problems in the region and getting Saudi Arabia to back track on having more ties with Israel.
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.
You hear about and see this a lot. You can even see it on people’s faces sometimes when you talk to them. They are already thinking about what they want to say rather than actually listening to what is said. So they are listening to respond rather than listening to truly engage in the conversation. I think many of us can be guilty of it at times. So I try to catch myself when I’m doing it. Remind myself how it feels to be on the other end of it when someone else does it.
Not European, but next ones for you.
Had the same issues when I still had hair to manage. Head & Shoulders was the only one for me as well. Until I just started buzzing my hair.
Now I need a good beard wash or my beard deals with the same thing.
I think we even see it regionally as well, not just country to country. Oh that happened 8 hours from me even if it was in my own state, vs oh that happened 10 minutes from where I live. People tend to take more notice when it hits closer to home.
I get where you are coming from, but I think this in part is done so people don’t just ignore it all. Not on our land, what do we care sort of thinking. Not saying I like that this would be needed to bring it closer to home for others, but that I can see that it would for some. We saw it with 9/11 as well as I would see other countries talk about how many they lost that day. Or when a plane goes down.
New copypasta just dropped.
Aren’t many of the hard copies for games now still needing huge downloads? Even to the point where some there is no data on the disc, only the key that says you own it?
How dare you to imagine there is more than one way to tackle the issues.
I don’t think we should kink shame.
