The Stranger

That game is old. I played it back on the first Xbox.

If that's the first CoC then that's what I was talking about before haha

I thought it was. xD It was a pretty good game.

Ha-Ha! That is strange. I wonder if your mind associates needles with things such as drugs, blood taking, and other similar things? I've had a lot of bad experiences with nurses struggling to take blood from me (no idea why), which has left my arms badly bruised.

No idea, but I've always been that way. Not particularly squemish, been hurt worse all kinds of ways and shrugged it off. Just something psychological about needles I guess makes me panic and pull a fainting goat.

Needles bother me more if I look at them. However, if they take blood from my left arm I will start to pass out.

@Sharm Thanks to you, @SpaceBot, and my support workers. You may have only talked with me, but that helped me a fair bit. The feeling of being isolated, as if no one else knows what I'm going through, is often the biggest hurdle to overcome.

I agree. That ache of being alone, of people hearing but not listening, of being the only one who knows what's going on and being unable to make others understand, that's definitely the worst part of depression. If you can conquer that part the rest becomes doable. I'm so happy that you're doing better today!

<3 I got your back buddy

I loved how the first few Terran missions in Wings of Liberty tried to imitate the first few Terran missions from the original SC. There was even a defend against a Zerg onslaught until the timer runs out mission. xD Invading Char was insanely easy as well.

Invading Char is only difficult on the hardest difficulty, and only because if you didn't pick the right "upgrades" to get from your research and didn't kill the Nydus Worms before the final mission... The game is basically cheat city for the AI. Essentially, they bypass your defenses constantly with the worms and drop them behind your lines all the time in random locations and in large numbers.

I actually enjoyed Zerus, but I hated that nearly all the "Zerus Designs" for Zerg were like reskins of existing Zerg units... which destroyed the Lore for me. Because the Zerg take the essence of other creatures and turn into something else over time and refinement. How do you get zerglings without the Dune Runners? Zerus has no Dune Runners.

02:12- Ops! Did i break something? (usb cable)
02:18- Crap! He saw that!
02:20- Run! RunnnNNN for your life! RUN your silly kitties!

Don't forget to work on your game though.
Sorry for the buzz kill.

Feel free to PM if you want to talk again. Good luck!

I haven’t read all of this, but some of it. And I have no first hand experience so I won’t try to offer up advice of any sort. But, @The Stranger I do want you to know that I sincerely mean it when I say I like having you around here and I’m always glad to see your posts, and I’m sorry that you are dealing with such a big thing.

@mlogan Thank you.

not even $1, only $0.69

Got it! I wont be able to play until Monday, though; not enough data left on my broadband dongle.

I think that putting harsh restrictions on things simply makes them more tempting; the forbidden fruit is always the sweetest. Awwh! Thank you. ^.^ I love it too. It comes with an even cuter desktop wallpaper: https://wall.alphacoders.com/big.php?i=938820

That is cute!

Nobody asks me for my ID anymore My jawlines make me look old enough for nobody to doubt my age.

Ah. I get it. I seriously thought @The Stranger found some way to smell people's colons.

This comment feed is fricking hilarious

What about his semicolon?

TT DID go bankrupt.

@Uzuki It did? Oh well.

Of course, what did they expect after all that crap they released (The Walking Dead games and Batman). Fans kept asking for a season 2 of The Wolf Among Us (their best game) for years and TT never listened and kept working on TWD instead. RIP

I love these old timey clothes. I'd love for fashion to return to robes, super long belts, long boots, and other awesome looking things.

At least they were comfy but I'm satisfied enough with jeans.

Awesome except those yellow socks could be darker. Its cool to see a school maintaining its tradition too these days.

It does indeed look amazing. I admire cd projekt red for making gamers for gamers with passion and without being only money-grab

They're probably one of my favourite devs at the moment. I just hope they don't let their success go to their heads. Even EA wasn't always the cancerous, dodgy company that it is today.

True, let's hope they stay the way they are. It would be sad for them to become greedy and neglecting their product, not just because that would suck for gamers, but also because I dream of creating a game studio which support gamers like they do.

Hmm? Why wait for so long? I'm sure it gets cracked even before release.

@Poryg The game contains nothing. Maybe the dev put such a long release time on it because the whole thing is a joke. It goes to show that you can use Steam Direct to put anything on Steam, even a game with nothing in it. I'll be 43 by the time this game unlocks.

Bizarre but caught my interest.

I only see a text file in Japanese. Anyone got the English? As it hasn't been translated, I'm wondering if this got put on Steam ahead of when it should have been.

@Kes Nope. The only text file I have for it is in Japanese as well. I can't even run it through Google Translate because the actual contents isn't Japanese at all, it's just random symbols.

Hmm, these are actually somewhat useful to me. Thanks for the info, never realized they were there before.

Good god he's lithe, and that face he makes the whole time's like something out of a horror movie...I'd abuse that talent so much, imagine how fast you could clear a room if you spontaneously did that in public?

Ha-Ha! Man after my own heart. I'd also abuse such a skill. I mean, the audience in that video were extremely unnerved, so just imagine how freaked out people would get if they weren't expecting it.

@S.Court Awwh. That made me smile.

I do that to a lot of people. Touch their nose and go "boop!"

@Tai_MT I also love booping noses.

I always thought it worked the opposite way.

@Dalph LMAO! xD

That explain his immortality...

@Tai_MT "What were your previous job experiences? Why did you leave? When can you go to work?" Pretty much the only questions I hear on interviews

@Poryg Same. I've also been asked to sell the interviewer some random object he\she can find nearby. I always fail at that roleplay.

@Poryg I've never been in any interview like that. The questions I hear a lot are, "Why are you interested in this job?" and "How do you deal with stress?", and "What's your attention to detail like?". Though, now I get to pick which questions to ask, so I like to ask strange things to gauge how people deal with the unexpected.

@The Stranger I probably should have added that IMO a lot of these gacha/lootbox systems are awful game design! The long slogs that encourage you to pay money to "skip the grind"... I hate them as much as you do! But I think there's some inherent value in the excitement of "what will you get" for your time or money, and it would be a shame for it to banned in video gaming in the name of anti-gambling.

The reason why it's banned until 21 is medical. Alcohol can effect brain development, and the brain doesn't actually finish developing until 21 or earlier, depending on the individual.

But the vice discussion is interesting. I personally don't think things that fit into the vice category should ever be introduced, or done as adults. I don't see an individual benefit (when looked at as a whole), and I don't see the benefit to society. This probably changes my perspective on the issue quite a bit.
