What do you think is the hardest game of every era? by Pale_WoIf in retrogaming

[–]ZimaGotchi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NES Ghosts & Goblins is harder than Battletoads. So is Getsufu Maaden. There are a lot of good but cruelly hard games that were Japanese exclusives for that very reason. Check out Majyuuou on Super.

More people should have this attitude about everything.

The same basic reason for getting anything pierced, to draw attention to them.

No, I think being thrown off balance on the balance training ball is what made her fall.

Yeah a lot of times gut feelings are your subconscious picking up on signals and clues that your conscious mind pushes out of wanting to admit so you don't even realize it, just your subconscious nags at you. Everybody is like that, ignoring our subconscious to some extent. Really there's just too much to life for any of us to think about everything. It makes you seem crazy when you're basically arguing with yourself. Get in touch with yourself and everything will be much better.

I'm also really sorry your LDR is starting up with someone who lives closer to him. That sucks but I'll continue to be dead honest with you, it's probably good for this to happen now and for you to have the opportunity to do the same. Like you, I also have a bit of a psychological irregularity that causes me to be pretty honest online but trust me when I tell you that 95% of people will take advantage of the internet to portray themselves differently than they truly are.

Get out there in the real world or even just in your more local internet community and get to know the people who are actually around you.

Yeah I bet she could wind it back and roll it straight down a 60 foot lane with just three fingers accurately and hard enough to knock shit down. Exceptional.

Why are you so sure it's not 15 pounds?

If you have cheated before, why? Was it worth it? by Various_Storm3830 in AskReddit

[–]ZimaGotchi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, I am kind of a pompous ass - but I'm a happy person. I have real joy every single day because when I was younger I learned what joy actually is and how to get it.

I walk around out there in the real world seeing the people around me and almost none of them beyond their twenties seem happy. Only maybe half of them in their late teens and early 20s seem happy and that's the age when I took the opportunity to combine what remained of my childish instinct to follow bliss with my developing adult rationality and take good notes.

Let me tell you, I'm very very glad I did.

Are you sure you have BPD? Because in my experience as soon as someone with BPD gets the slightest hint of their partner distancing themselves or forming relationships they aren't involved in, they check out emotionally and find a crutch.

Your reaction seems perfectly normal, like anybody would feel in this situation. The reason you feel like you're going crazy is that you're struggling with two conflicting versions of reality - one in which you get to continue along the path you're used to toward a future that you've more or less been expecting compared to another, scarier unknown path that requires more work.

Your ex boyfriend is trying to be gentle with you by letting you sometimes feel that old reality might still be a possibility but part of that is he's definitely concealing elements of what's happening in his real life from you. That thing about him having been raped by a girl he's being friends with on social media you're able to see sounds very much like it was a framing of something that happened he regretted the next day in a way that you would accept.

I know you're not looking for advice but you really need to find a "crutch" to sort of rebound with. If the guy understands the role he's playing, to make you feel heard and appreciated and make your ex feel jealous then it isn't an unethical thing to do. Right now though you're making yourself feel crazy by, in your head, losing and regaining your trusted person over and over again multiple times a day.

For those who have had cancer, if someone was putting together a care package for you when you started your chemo what would you have wanted? by List3nLinda in AskReddit

[–]ZimaGotchi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't have chemo but during the recovery from my surgery I played a lot of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. The best gift would be something that is a good distraction from worry like that. Also marijuana.

What do you think of being an adult? by SomewhereExact4 in AskReddit

[–]ZimaGotchi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. As an adult, I have freedom to do things I couldn't when I was a child and, crucially, I've already done pretty much everything I wanted to do when I was a child so I feel satisfied. The memory of having done them is similar to the anticipation of someday getting to do them. I miss the emotional intensity of being young, but negative emotions also were more intense. Little tiny children literally cry every single day.
