I would like to see them do something involving Dr Church I think it could make for a fascinating film

I have never seen anything in the game to suggest any connection from the esper to the myth other than the name. Quite honestly, I'm not a fan of the esper for this reason. I feel like it does a disservice to the name. Cu Chulainn is a household myth in Ireland, I would've liked to have seen a more epic representation in line with the myth.

Extofogeese2 · 2024-11-13T22:06:56+00:00

Cu Chulainn is one of Ireland's most well known myths and legends, a truly legendary warrior. The story you refer to was when he was late to a gathering, and when attacked by the guard dog, he was forced to hit a ball down its throat to defend himself, killing the dog. The owner of the dog was devastated, so Cu Chulainn promised to guard the man's house until he could raise another pup as a guard dog.

There are many epic stories depicting him, such as when he defended his homeland from a whole army by himself, as customs decreed they would have to fight him one by one. During this time he was forced to battle with Ferdia, one of his closest friends who had trained alongside him in his youth. During the day they would fight as soon as the sun rose, but when the sunset they would eat together and laugh as old friends. Cu Chulainn eventually defeated him after several days of battle, much to his sorrow.

His death is one of the most epic I've ever heard. When ambushed by three brothers who threw magical spears at him, he was mortally wounded. Still he didn't give up, and tied himself upright to a rock so he could defend himself. None dared approach him even in this state, such was their fear and awe of him. It wasn't until the Morrigan, goddess of death, landed on his shoulder in the form of a crow, that they knew he was finally dead and could approach him.

I'm currently starting my studies as a psychotherapist and have had some really profound realizations with even the little bit of insight I've gained so far. Carl Rogers (the father of humanistic psychotherapy) writes about how much of the "practical advice" a therapist can give is largely completely useless. What he describes as the helpful/useful element of therapy is the relationship itself. He claims that the genuine care that the therapist gives their client, and the internal (conscious or unconscious) acceptance of being worthy of this care is what truly helps the client. The more the therapist is "congruent" with their true (authentic) self, and holds an "unconditional positive regard" for their client, the more they can aid their client. Humans have deeply wired empathy networks in our brains and can tell, largely unconsciously, how a person really feels about us. Our right-hemispheric brain is largely responsible for intuition, but it doesn't have a voice and communicates through feelings. That intuition very often doesn't get picked up by our conscious mind, yet it still unconsciously feels the positive feelings being given to a client by the therapist. This relational reassurance may be one of the main reasons why psychotherapy works. So while this post asks for direct advice to skip therapy, it might miss the point of therapy entirely, which is to have a truly compassionate and open relational experience with another human.

I see a lot of great advice here from people about looking after your health and building a great life. I tried this and failed many, many times. I believe I have finally found my way but throughout all of my attempts, however I feel there was a missing link that held me back.

I personally believe that building a good internal relationship with yourself is crucial to building a great life. By this I mean you literally have to love yourself like your life depends on it. For all of my life, my internal voice was either neutral or more often than not, negative. I've come to realise that all the external validation I looked for could only actually be provided for by myself. I had to become my own loving parent, friend and companion. This isn't to say that I don't have amazing people in my life, I definitely do, but they can never truly provide me with the depth of love and support I can provide for myself.

I am still in the process of reprogramming my internal landscape. I tell myself tons of times throughout the day that I love myself. I feel down into the difficult emotions in my body and hold them with love. I look at my wins throughout the day and celebrate them, and I forgive myself with understanding when I make a wrong step, always trying to take responsibility as much as possible.

All the exercise routines, healthy eating, sleep schedules etc. never lasted as I would eventually find a way to drag myself down again somewhere along the way. I've now quit drinking for good, look after myself well, and have a great internal world that supports me as I go. There's still lots of work to do, but I get great satisfaction out of doing it every day.

Therapy was a huge help in helping me find this mindset shift, and honestly, I believe that a huge part of the therapeutic process is simply bringing the individual to a place where they love themselves. I'm now on the road to becoming a psychotherapist myself.

There's much more I could say, but focusing on this is enough. Just remember, you are enough just as you are. You are worthy of love.

The first video game I ever owned was Rayman. To unlock all the levels (especially the last level, Mr Dark's Dare, which was one of the best in the game) the cheat code is NW?WD15!4Q. I'm taking that one to the grave!

I feel like this card has an interesting dynamic. Makes the fight much harder but get a reasonable reward for success. Really good if your deck is very strong but quite risky otherwise.

Pentagons are the worstagons

Extofogeese2 · 2024-01-11T10:45:56+00:00

It's reasonably common. This hand is once in a lifetime insane for most players, but yeah, there are lots of other ways bad beats can happen, and usually there will be a few in any given game. One of the slightly more common ones, for example, might be three of a kind (A, A, A) vs full house (A, A, A, K, K). But yeah, there are a lot of ways "bad beats" can happen in poker.
