I enjoyed my time with it. Working out the correct path was fun though I was really disappointed that there was only 1 path and to finish the game you just followed the objective marker. There were some fun moments though and I enjoyed the powers and the repeating elements. The endings were pretty poor I agree. I think it really depends how much the core gameplay appeals to you as to how much you’d enjoy it.

First off depression is a removed and will have made this whole thing harder on both of you. It sounds like you were moving forward and he felt like he was being left behind.

Could you have done more? Maybe. I think people can pretty much always do more but doing more isn’t always the right thing to do.

Generally relationships should have some give and take, not always equally split though that depends on the individuals. I’ve been in a position several times where I’m the only one making any effort to keep in touch with friends and it gets harder and harder to keep making the effort when you don’t get anything back. Eventually I stopped trying to maintain those friendships and now I just have them on social media and we never interact.

People grow and change and sometimes, with distance especially, that can be enough to end a friendship.

Try to remember the good times if nothing else.

It really depends on the lifestyle you want and what “retirement” means to you. Do you want to never work again or work part time? So you want to live in a home with no mortgage and minimal bills or travel the world for 6 months of every year. Your best bet is to talk to a financial advisor.

Honestly I’m not sure. Probably the same as the chem trails and 5g, he’s all in on the conspiracies these days.

UK here. We have fluoride in our water. My understanding is it’s good for teeth and helps prevent dental problems with little/no downsides.

My dad is a conspiracy theorist nut who thinks it’s a government mind control agent or something so both sides get purchase over here.

I know we’re talking audiophiles here but the budget option is £350!

We spent 2 hours doing CPR on a lady who worked in our hospital, while her husband watched and cried. She was young and the cardiac arrest was unexpected so we tried everything we could. Despite all our efforts we didn’t manage to get her back. CPR is not like it looks in movies and shows, it rarely works and is brutal on the person who’s died. CPR is physically exhausting to perform, generally you rotate so you’re only doing about 1-2 minutes at a time but even with breaks it’s still very hard work. Add on the emotional shock of an unexpected death and supporting a grieving partner, it was a naff day. One of the worst parts is you’ve got to go back on the floor afterwards and carry on like it’s normal.

Was scrolling through to see if this was posted yet. Such a hard game, emotionally and mechanically. I’ve never managed to get very far through it before everything goes wrong and my characters start dying horribly (Which is entirely the point).

It’s a really good portrayal of the civilian toll of war I think.

Anywhere you can buy food here you can probably get alcohol. Corner shops, petrol stations, supermarkets all have booze.

In the UK we measured alcohol in units the recommended limit being 14/ week. Spirits like vodka are served in 1 unit = 25ml. So their low to medium drinking is already more than the UK national recommendation by 4 drinks and you’d be getting advice on how to reduce your drinking by a Dr. Though that 450ml/week is real easy to get to that’s one vodka and coke per day if your free pouring rather than measuring. Many lay people wouldn’t consider that a problem at all.

Admittedly we do have a fairly problematic relationship with alcohol in this country.

Definitely agree with your take to make booze harder to get and more highly taxed like smoking. At least the younger generations seem to not be drinking so much.

I really enjoyed it, have you started getting the upgrade paths for the pistol yet? Love that feature, it kept the iconic pistol relevant for the whole game.

I mean this feels like it should be illegal. Another reason to not buy Ubisoft games I guess.

Ankmemes is a proper niche, not sure I’ve ever seen Ankylosaurus memes before so I didn’t know I needed them in my life.

Thanks for putting together this list, I’ve gotten 4 new subs from here.

These are awesome, keep up the good work!

I mean have you ever “seen” a purple Ork?

I don’t miss anything about the town I grew up in. It was full of chavs(who hated the fat nerd), had no entertainment options (the high street was banks and betting shops), very white and racist, 45 minute bus trip to the nearest cinema and the only thing it was known for was having a very high rate of teenage pregnancy.

I even lived there for a while after I came back from uni and tried really hard to keep in touch with my school friends but nobody made an effort.

Where I live now is much better.

I have a grandfather clock I inherited from my uncle after he died. It’s a beautiful piece and reminds me of the good times I had with him every time I hear it chime.

An important lesson was learned that day. Never stand on the receiving end of an enema, incision and drainage, manual disempaction, decompression or in front of someone who says “I feel sick”.

You probably need to do some self reflection and examine your feelings towards women as to why you have those views. Have you considered therapy to help you with these feelings?

Regarding coping without sex, for me it was always more the physical and emotional contact than sex itself. Hugs with friends and family help. Maybe something like a massage (not necessarily a happy ending) could help, having someone else pay attention to you and the physical touch with another human might help.
