Makes sense, I was just curious as I don’t know a whole lot about them.

What’s wrong with nord? Is it specifically bad or just not as good as other options?

Honestly having the time to take those courses was why I even left my last job to take this factory job, but then COVID happened and everything got put on hold and the “omg recession” cycle started.

Unfortunately no, the shitty factory job gives nothing but some pie before thanksgiving. At least they give something I guess lol

I’m 39 and feel like it’s definitely too late for me. I’d be 42+ by the time I’m done and with the way the economy is and the job market in general I don’t think there would be any positive for me to go through that expense.

I basically just missed the boat, all my friends went to school for computer science when they were ~20 so they’re safe now and make an absolute killing. If I were to try that now I’d just join the like millions that can’t find work in that field… For the last 5 years every single day the news has been “omg a recession is coming, it’s coming, it’s definitely coming like tomorrow! Be afraid, it’s coming!” So I never left my shitty factory job, but now I just feel stuck…

The timing of this is hilarious to be honest, they just released their only anime school girl character in the patch that dropped like 2-3 weeks ago lol before then there wasn’t anything really like that.

This recent patch goes against the whole feel of the game and was created as a “love letter to anime” as people seem to be describing it as. It’s chock full of references to anime where the main game does do that, but not nearly to the extent this patch did lol

and is thankfully not nearly as sexualized as the theme often carries)

Until you see her M6 art reveal lol…

I tend not to recommend them because you never know who has a gambling problem (

That’s a fair point. They even got me for a while, I got too comfortable being ok with “supporting” the company since I loved the game so much and before you know it 6 months later I’ve spent like $700 on it…

I can understand wuthering waves. I never in 10000000 years thought I’d be saying something like this about a gacha game, but wuthering waves is probably my favorite game in like God knows how many years. The combat is really fun, it all looks absolutely amazing on pc, the story is great even side quests and side stories (a freaking character side quest had me crying as a 40 year old man…) it’s really just a good game.

I’d honestly suggest more people try it, you 100% do not need to spend any money whatsoever to enjoy the game and its story. When needed you get “trial” characters set to the appropriate level to complete story stuff and they’ve actually made a main character who isn’t complete and utter dogshit. They’re good in many team compositions.

The only place you’d feel like maybe you want to spend is if you want to do the dick measuring sweaty gamer endgame fights at the hardest difficulty, but it’s still doable without them.

For ram at least it’s not supply and demand, it’s companies deciding that it’s more profitable to sell directly to AI companies so they literally drop their consumer products division completely. :/

In a similar position, nowhere near what my perfect life would be. Not even remotely close to it ever happening.

Be in a loving relationship. (Been single for ~10 years. Longest relationship was 8 months…)

Have a secure job that pays well that I enjoy. (I’m 40, uneducated, and work in a factory.)

Own a home where I can have a garden and a workspace for crafts.(See #1&2 for why that’s never happening, currently renting a garage “apartment.”)

Fixing things. Mostly if it’s for someone else.

Unfortunately as far as work goes, two of the things that make me most unhappy: driving, traffic, are tied to the job of fixing things for people so I quit that job :/

Took the words out of my mouth. I was literally thinking exactly this before I clicked on the comments and saw it was the top comment.

I finally forced myself to clean the bathroom last weekend after god knows how long and gave myself a nasty sinus infection that I’m still dealing with from all the dust I kicked up lol

I’m sure there’s a lesson in there but my depression and idiocy will more than likely override it lol

This is how I feel literally every single day, and somehow every single day gives me a new reason to feel like this… I’m so sick of this timeline…

I haven’t smelled it in a while, but I don’t think I remember it smelling rotten. It wasn’t pleasant but also wasn’t really disgusting, it was just odd.

I don’t know what it is, but I can smell a somewhat metallic type smell on some specific people’s breath. It always smells very similar between different people. They generally aren’t very healthy, but no one seems to know what I’m talking about.

It would be pretty funny to see a ceremonial igneous deposit marked somewhere though.

Back in those days we’d also type :'-( instead of 😢.

I still do! Fuck the pictures!

Unless it’s 🤮

That one really just gets the point across really well lol

It’s either LSA or LSH, it’s been almost 20 years since I made it so I forget which is which, but basically the process involves extracting one of those and turning it into the more potent other.

For me it was like a much weaker LSD, but you still felt it quite a bit.

Lol a few days straight, but then just sporadically over a few months. I didn’t notice much as far as tolerance buildup over those few days

I always enjoy seeing the double asterisk in places where that formatting doesn’t work. It’s like ahh I know you type elsewhere often enough that it has become part of your “style” of writing lol
