That's a bomb ass lunch Squiddy. I usually just eat a pack of prepackaged cracker shits or something.

Roast beef was kinda tough, but the broccoli cheddar soup is good

I may have cussed out a computer, microsoft, and dell over 100 times in like 5 minutes so far today. It "unregistered" windows 7 because I turned it into a VM and it didn't like it.

Didn't work for what I needed and it was being annoying anyway, but still... like come on!!!

 

[Squiddy]

Well my psychiatrist agreed with me that the injection form would be better and asked me if I would be more compliant and I told him I don't really have a choice and he said I do better when I don't have a choice

Good morning everyone. Oh wait it's noon now. Well I woke up on time today but my body screamed at me to go back to sleep so it took about an hour for me to wake up properly anyway even after eating breakfast. Just finished vacuuming the living room though so at least I did something productive.

Yay, good job! Now go do something for yourself :-)

 

[MysticPerception]

Oh and @CynicalHopelessness it's Soma Cruz in both of your avatars right? The I reject my humanity is very fitting if it is. Dawn of Sorrow is my favorite Castlevania game actually.

I am doing something for myself I'm watching someone else play videogames because I'm too tired to do it myself right now lol.

Yes, in all three I had actually (and probably the future ones).
Funnily enough Dawn is my least favourite of DSvanias. Because they made it too grindy with weapon-upgrades and soul levels - I don't even think I ever maxed all souls ever.

Aria of Sorrow was my first Castlevania game, while other GBA ones didn't click with me. We had a lot of fun times with my ex-gf playing it too.

It is definitely too grindy but it being my first and the concept of getting new abilities from enemies was really fun to me. Though I ended up not beating it on DS and had to emulate it and use save states to get through since otherwise it was just too annoying to do the back half of the game legit for me. I never did play Aria but I watched a short playthrough of it. Looked really good I should have just played it instead of watching lol.

 

[Carina]

Why am I hungry?!? oh, it's like noon! It's like lunchtime!

That explains it. And I forgot to salt what I brought for lunch... oh well. maybe it'll be salty enough since it soaked in the stuff that makes it kinda salty.

I'll wait a tad until others start eating.

 

[BooGirl]

No one's gonna be home for 5 hours. It would actually be an amazing time to ctb.

Really? I mean... normally more time is better for things... and it would seem to be a bit rushed and prone to errors... just saying (I mean you're obviously free to do whatever)

Well, I can't actually do it now, because I don't have the fucking supplies, but it would be amazing.

The amount of times I think this daily is atrocious. All I can say is make absolute sure no one is going to just barge in or show up for any reason if you actually try to put that thought to the test eventually. I would have been caught so many times when I thought it was okay. It's kind of funny in retrospect.

I never did play Aria but I watched a short playthrough of it

I am actually doing a very slow playthrough of Aria now on hard mode with no use-items like potions. I think I've 100% souls-ed it at least 3 times.

to emulate it and use save states to get through since otherwise it was just too annoying to do the back half of the game legit for me

I emulate pretty much always. Too broke to buy a console for < 10 games, esp. way after it's prime time. My "DS" setup is like this:

the concept of getting new abilities from enemies was really fun to me

Have you tried Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night then? Pretty much same mechanics, except it's called "shards" now. And crafting, which is even more grind lol.

google translate it if you want--but you'll get a funny thing that's the wrong translation lol

Nice setup I like it. I heard Bloodstained has the same mechanic before it came out and I got really excited but then just never got around to playing it. I still kind of want to but doubt I will before I ctb. It's hard to commit to a game like that when you know you might just not finish it due to refusing to stick around for it. Also that run of Aria sounds crazy I don't think I could deal with no healing items.

 

[Squiddy]

Damn. Everyone's got long ass paragraphs explaining what their cognitive mind trap situation is and I have a sentence I'm truly pathetic lmao.

A wise person can convey their feelings in a short manner rather than having to tell you their entire life story. There's nothing wrong with keeping it short Squiddy that just part of what makes you, you.

 

[Carina]

Sometimes people want a writer to describe their story in a paragraph, then a sentence. No matter what the length of a story. Length doesn't matter if you are in touch with the subject matter.

There was a Dr Who episode where (while can have issues granted, but interesting) they did a question/answer where the person could answer questions using one word only. Just one. It can focus your mind. And in some ways make you realize just what the main issue really is.


Anyway, short isn't a bad thing if you're in touch with yourself

 

[CynicalHopelessness]

It's hard to commit to a game like that when you know you might just not finish it due to refusing to stick around for it

Well it took me about 44 hours to grind to max level, craft all top-tier equipment, get all passive abilities maxed and master every weapon skill. And it includes few nights where I left the game on with an autoclicker to grind for some millions of gold.

Also that run of Aria sounds crazy I don't think I could deal with no healing items.

The worst part is being almost dead when exploring, while also being far away from an altar. I do use save states in situations like this if I'd be very frustrated otherwise, but that's the only instance of cheating I'm allowing myself (cause the point is to have fun, after all)

Damn. Everyone's got long ass paragraphs explaining what their cognitive mind trap situation is and I have a sentence I'm truly pathetic lmao.

Succinctness master.
