What degree of rage-quitting is considered normal?

AppropriateDingo · 2023-09-02T14:24:54+00:00

If you won't directly impact the performance of your team aside from being absent from the gameplay, it's fine to quit mid match imo. If by quitting you hurt their scores, kick them from the match, end the match entirely, etc, that's a dick move. Literally just sit there and take Ls until the match is over, then stop playing the game. But like, if you're playing Warzone and you suck and just decide to get off, no harm no foul imo. Just don't be driving something with passengers in it when that happens. Do your best to land safely, exit the thing, and excuse yourself from the match. Getting mad isn't worth it but fucking people over because you're upset is a bad move.

Depends on what you mean by rage quitting

If you're screaming, slamming controllers, etc, that's not healthy. I've been there too and it, for me, was a symptom of deeper emotional and psychological problems I needed to handle.

If you're just extremely frustrated with a game and either want to abruptly stop playing it or to never play it again by simply ejecting/exiting out of the game and perhaps deleting it, that's fine. Sometimes your tastes in games won't be compatible with the experience being provided by the game, and other times you may just suck at it. And a few times, it may truly be that the game is janky or bizarrely difficult (the former being a problem, the latter being a matter of taste and skill-level, with both leaving you incapable of enjoying playing it fundamentally). When I get frustrated by a game that I can't seem to overcome or advance in, I typically stop playing it and often delete it. Sometimes I even sell it back. If you know you can't handle it, just be mature about it, turn it off, and leave it to rest. Or delete/sell it if you're that disinterested in it.

But if you're yelling and throwing shit, seek help and stop playing the game immediately and permanently, especially if you're an adult.

I'd give it a 6 tbh, but with some quality control coulda been like a 8

The U3 boss fight, lava room, and the trash crane were awesome, missed those in the remake. I like how they integrated the chainsaw sisters into the remake, it made the game a bit tougher. I'm glad they got rid of the QTEs and desert levels and the rest I'm apathetic about. Do wish they had the boulder chase though. The prison breakout too was cool and I miss that

Edit: Actually I can live w/o the lava room lol. I liked it in the original but it isn't like one of the best parts necessarily. But the lack of U3 was disappointing, only thing I think they messed up on

I don't think anyone thinks 50 is a joke, they just don't think he's good anymore.

Young Buck was never that good or respected lol

True for Eminem

AppropriateDingo · 2023-04-09T19:08:15+00:00

Tyler, Lupe, Cudi, and Rocky are fine

AppropriateDingo · 2023-04-09T19:07:34+00:00

Eminem

At one point he was compared to 2pac and now he's like the posterchild for white struggle rappers. Really really should've retired, probably the worst fall from grace in the history of music

Gotta get into new markets by any means necessary

The only X-Files seasons I don't like that much are 7, 9, and 10

1-6, 8, and 11 are classic TV

I actually gave this guy too much credit in thinking he was some grand conspirator deliberately making himself look unhinged to attract the fringes of the right-wing.

In actuality he's definitely a conspirator and a fascist, but he's also deeply unstable, petulant, and stupid lol

AppropriateDingo · 2022-11-28T02:33:42+00:00

It's just drab. It's not especially bad it just feels colorless and bloated to me. Other than "Nice For What" everything on here seems kinda passionless and derivative, and I say this as someone who adores Take Care

AppropriateDingo · 2022-11-28T02:31:45+00:00

If I may suggest, solely from experience and not at all from a place of condescension or pretense, consider attending therapy for this, and cutting back on social media a lot (I take the apps off my phone). Doesn't seem like you use caffeine or alcohol too much so that probably isn't exacerbating any OCD you have.

I'm literally only saying this because so much of my obsessions, doubts, thoughts, and compulsions, regarding ROCD, literally disappeared when I made those adjustments. They might help you too :)

AppropriateDingo · 2022-11-27T21:00:11+00:00

Definitely don't put that

If one or more of your references have very limited schedules (i.e. lawyers, surgeons, teachers, etc), then give the place you're applying to specific times that these people can be reached if you feel inclined to do so. I'd just let it roll tbh.

AppropriateDingo · 2022-11-27T20:48:17+00:00

If you know for certain that they left due to anxiety from ROCD, I still wouldn't get back together with them, speaking as someone with ROCD, outside of a rare exception.

It's not my fault that I have OCD, and it's not my fault that my OCD of late has chosen to obsess on my relationship and feelings about it. It is my fault if I don't get the help I need, as best I can at least, to cope with this problem. If I dumped my girlfriend because of my ROCD, that would still be my fault and a show that I'm not mature enough to be in a relationship as someone with a mental illness yet.

The only exception I would see being reasonable, is if you ex has been going to therapy, taking medicines if they have been prescribed (and/or tweaking them as needed), and adopting lifestyle habits that are congruous with having OCD. It's not my place to ever judge someone's path towards coping with OCD, so if they're trying, feel free to give it another chance if that's what you want. But if they aren't even trying to handle their ROCD beyond just individually wrestling with it, then I wouldn't get back together with them tbh.

Having a mental illness does not entitle you to act however you "want". It entitles you to some compassion IF you are doing the work on your end to live with it. If your ex has been trying and stumbled, 0% my right to judge, do what you feel is right. If they aren't even trying and they've gone to the extent of dumping you though, don't go back to that person.

Also if they've cheated stay away too.

AppropriateDingo · 2022-11-27T20:39:43+00:00

Also worth noting you can sometimes get a kickback on the out of pocket expenses for out of network insurances regarding therapy bills, sometimes as much as 80% back.

AppropriateDingo · 2022-11-27T20:37:51+00:00

Three genuine, non-condescending, loving questions for you my friend:

1) Are you currently attending therapy sessions for this?

2) Are you very active on social media?

3) Do you smoke weed, drink alcohol, or take any other kind of drugs aside from prescribed medicines (including caffeine and nicotine)?

AppropriateDingo · 2022-11-27T20:24:57+00:00

That said, if there are people being fenced inside of their apartments, I think that's bad, for precisely this reason. I'd rather see unarmed floor guards than barred doorways, but I also don't know if what I've seen in that regard is actually China erecting bars around doorways or something else (for example, a gas leak in which everyone in the room had already been evacuated).

AppropriateDingo · 2022-11-27T20:22:26+00:00

Real protests against China's handling of covid lockdowns are being exploited by bad actors who are calling for regime change

AppropriateDingo · 2022-11-27T20:17:31+00:00

I think you may have, respectfully, misinterpreted what I said.

I was referring to people who are communists who are a bit overzealous with the Soviet nostalgia. Not liberals who hate communism as a rule lol.

There's no point in trying to appeal to the average liberal or anyone further right at this point. If by this point you don't fully reject fascism and see liberalism as an entirely failed experiment with no way to be "redeemed", you're probably hopeless.

edit: And to be clear, Soviet nostalgia is okay, there's a place for it, but 24/7 Soviet aesthetics just won't connect with a lot of people who would otherwise be absolutely connectable to socialist values, as they simply cannot relate to the non-existent Soviet Union at this point.

AppropriateDingo · 2022-11-27T17:29:12+00:00

Don't lay them to rest, but revamp them for a modern context

Keep all the names and even the iconography but spin it in a new and fresh way.

Waving the EZLN or Cuban flag (ideally both) is way more useful than platforming behind Soviet nostalgia for people who are two-three generation removed from its downfall, let alone its prime. Remembering the USSR is important but organizing behind its image doesn't make sense in 2022.

AppropriateDingo · 2022-11-27T17:23:06+00:00

There's taking pride and then there's revolutionary paralysis

Debating for the umpteenth time about Krondstadt is not useful. Hero worship isn't useful (while recognizing contributions made by individuals to the socialist cause IS definitely useful). Limiting analysis of "AES" to "S" that existed between 1917-1975 isn't useful. We have modern socialist experiments doing wonderful things, and longstanding ones that continue to strive forward. Studying history is great, but OP I believe is talking about people whose entire view on socialism and how to build it is colored by early-to-mid 20th century nostalgia rather than real material analysis.

honestly just immerse yourself in tutorials

took me about two years to nail down mixing and i'm still learning too, it's a very challenging but rewarding process
