amber whataboutism

I think it counts the countries with NATO bases as occupied which I think is fair, there is no way those countries can do whatever they want with yankee boots on their soil

What the fuck is whataboutism about that post. They just meant that some people deserve to die because of the atrocities they commited. Do you honestly believe that a serial child molester can be reformed? Would subjecting them to a lifelong stay at a labor camp be better?

It just feels soulless. I think the systems it has are very good if you like ARPGs a lot, but the rest of the game is just Chrono Trigger if it was completely bland. The game feels like someone just thought of making a better PoE without having any artistic vision and that’s a big turnoff for me

Maybe add the Kaiji anime to the “Movies & Television” category

With AI stuff in general I can’t decide if I am excited about the ways it will enable individuals to create their own art that wouldn’t otherwise or just enter doomer mode about how it will fuck shit up under captialism

You don’t need to emotionally judge someone who is malicious to want to stop them from doing harm. I don’t see how us being against nazis is incompatible with thinking that we could have ended like them in their shoes

Also it was MGS1, not MG

It is this game: https://store.steampowered.com/app/269770/Secrets_of_Grindea/

What game have you completed recently and what are your thoughts on it?

As I mentioned before, the original Metal Gear Solid. I found that the gameplay and game design haven’t aged well but I can see why it was revolutionary for the era. I am mainly referring to most of the combat setpieces, the stealth sections and the adventure game-like riddles were good. The aesthetics, sound design and atmosphere in general were excellent, with the voice acting being insanely good for that time. I also thought the story was good even if the character writing is a bit amateurish at times, with a plot twist that I thought was amazing and very well executed. The themes are also pretty good and interesting even if they aren’t as deep as some fans would have you believe (although all of us are guilty of this with the things we like I guess)

I am not incapable, just afraid of being incapable ig. You handled that matter perfectly, kudos

When you talk about self-improvement you mean becoming more mature, secure etc? Because if so I agree with you and I have to do that work. Thanks for the chat offer, I might take you up on that someday

It’s pretty easy to be attracted to someone and just… keep it professional?

I guess it is. I am just not very used to interacting with women besides my gf, mother and sisters so I just don’t want to mess up due to immaturity or something. I will just follow the reasonable rules of not getting close to other people I am attracted to, not doing drugs without my gf present etc

It’s true that I am not secure, I get a lot of anxiety if I haven’t seen her (not communicated) for some days, and I am a bit of an attention seeker. And that’s something I have to resolve, but it also scares me because people with the same traits as me (maybe magnified) do cheat

think if you are having issues around self control and cheating, then maybe your girlfriend isn’t the one for you. Maybe it’s a sign that there is someone else

I never said I have cheated or even come close to. I have self control issues in other areas such as binge eating when stressed but that’s it

Do you trust yourself to conduct yourself in an ethical manner if you did work there?

I do not. Not because I have actually done something bad, but I probably am a bit more impulsive than the average person due to ADHD, and I also have the anxious attatchment style in the context of the relationship, so I don’t want to be in a situation where I could act out or something. Also I believe in avoiding temptation in contrast to resisting temptation, so it makes sense to me. Of course you can’t always avoid having to interact with an attractive person, but it seems to me like it’s another thing when you go into such a situation knowingly.

Me too. I studied my ass off in uni and actually graduated with an insanely high grade but that doesn’t seem to mean much to employers. I don’t have many acquaintances and those that I do have, weren’t able to help me with finding a job. So here I am, sitting on my ass all day and sending applications and getting a bit more insane with each horrible thing I stumble upon. I actually got an offer which I rejected (kind of regret this one) but I had my reasons. I have to relocate to the capital and the fuckers wanted to put me on an 1 month probation period. So suppose I wasn’t the one they wanted, would I have to go back after one month? For fucks sake

This is real, someone actually asked this in a 100% genuine job application form

I will recommend you some albums:

Camel - Mirage, The Snow Goose

Pink Floyd - The Dark Side of the Moon, Animals, Wish You Were Here

ELP - Tarkus
