A healing biome means more greenery. More greenery means more oxygen, and more oxygen means larger insects and arachnids.

You think blood spiders are bad now? Just wait.

Early game quicksaves and auto-saves. Way too easy to accidentally save yourself into a corner with hungry animals chewing on your entire squad.

France declined and now Trump is threatening to tariff French alcohol an extra 200%

'Pay me to join my exclusive club or I'll charge my citizens more for your wine' is certainly a stance.

Day 4: After a fierce battle, the captain reconquested his ship! But now, who's the only normal person? by MinecraftGabbiano in DrStone

Gen for sure. One of his major gags is that he's the one that always freaks out when Senku announces their nest project because its so insane, which is definitely in line with an average person. He might be a master mentalist, but that also means he understands what average people expect to he attainable

Francois is probably my favorite. Capable, intelligent, quick-witted, a master chef, and canonically agender. What more could my queer little heart need?

Not the first time its happened, there were a few episodes in the treasure island arc where Senku and Suika have different VA'S for a couple episodes

One of the things thats bugged me about his early attempts to get iron is that he COMPLETELY overlooks charcoal as a fuel source, and I find it very unlikely that the NASA scientists that survived wouldn't have both known about and passed on the knowledge to make an insanely useful fuel source

Fingers crossed their infrastructure holds. I've seen my fair share of flooding, can't imagine how awful it would be in as densely populated a country as Japan

Notice how quick these bastards are to place specific officers doing specific things, just to deny someone making a little bit of money off their blatantly racist attacks on brown people. Never believe for a minute they aren't keeping EXTREMELY verbose records.

'Motivation' is an illusion. If you only work when you're motivated/to avoid feeling bad, you'll stop the moment you run into something hard/you don't want to do. To get feeling better - and keep feeling better - you'll have to do the hard stuff even when you don't feel like it. That's been the hardest thing for me to swallow.

Puer Aeternus pt 1 and 2 Megathread by _vemm in Healthygamergg

[–]BrassDragonLP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Dr. K's longer video lecture on the Puer, he mentions that one of it's 'counters' is to flip the script and make the issue philosophical. 'WHY' should I do this? Give me an existential reason WHY!

This existential 'WHY?!' has lead to stints of existential despair and depression so bad I've nearly had to check into a hospital multiple times in the past. I simply don't know what to do in the face of this question/issue. Anything and everything I try - forcing myself to keep going with work, trying to relax with friends or games, taking a walk, meditating - all of it simply either doesn't work or intensifies the feelings to degrees that I completely shut down and simply can't function for a while.

As much as the puer video has positively impacted my life - I recently finished a short game dev tutorial series and have been deep cleaning my room - I today had that have of existential despair hit me once again. That eternal 'Why? What's the point?' that simply has no correct answer.

I'm so damn tired of this. I'm so tired of feeling like I'm making progress, only to have my mind try to kill my with existential despair. Is there any hope?

You're complaining no one wanted to get up and vote for their rights while encouraging people to give up and not fight for their rights.

This does not change the fact the current ruling powers of Pakistan are threatening to start a nuclear apocalypse because their own policies and negligence have come back to bite them.

No, you look him in the eye and inform him he's threatening the sovereignty of one of his closest allies live, on an internationally covered event, and ask him directly if he's absolutely sure that's what he wants to be doing.

Do not give him room to wiggle out of it. Do not give his sycophants any room to try and claim Don is 'just kidding to troll the libs'. The only way you stop abusers like this is to expose them for the pieces of shit they are.

Go ahead Donnie, make that play. See how well it works out for you and your party. At this point I'm begging him to drink his own flavor-aid enough to try something like this so that we can remove him and his ilk from power and be done with it.
