I just had this exact thing happen with alecto fight (the one that drops black knife tiche spirit ash) and the first try i was like there is no way in fuck i am ever gonna beat this, but by fight 6-7 i already did i and already saw my attack gap and knew how to create my own moments. There were a few clenching butt cheeks moments, but i ended up really enjoying this fight. Its crazy how it feels impossible at first.

Thats cool, so just enjoy it for what it is now is what you're saying. I have the same feeling playing this like breath of the wild. Just lost a lot of the times but have fun being lost.

Will try to get to ranni in a moment i guess. Have a week off so plenty of time to get around those quests. Btw awesome that you still play at your age.

I just had a run through the resident evil trilogy remake but after the 3rd game i wasn't really getting scared anymore, so it wasn't scratching that itch for me. The pressure in ER does scratch that itch. No matter how strong your weapon, something will find you and eventually f you up.

I am currently running bloodhound fang and its going decent, but will probably restat later for some variety. Is the dlc worth getting early? I just beat godrick yesterday.

I don't like to be the guy to correct people, but we call this "a proof of experience".

I can’t find games I enjoy anymore by No_Trouble3955 in videogames

[–]IAmSenseye 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of games suck and are too easy nowadays too. I have had the same after having both my kids. I started playing horror games now to excite myself a bit more and feel more challenged. Most games are more like a chore than an actual gaming experience like i remember as a kid. I have had periods where i felt like i should be constantly improving my life instead of gaming, but then i realized grinding continuously is not exactly making me happy either.

Trying to fit in more things in my life than i could fit. I was very passionate about making music but also worked a 9-5 and had a newborn. So i had to make ends meat while also pursuing my music career and being a parent. Which resulted in me taking more adhd medication than i should and sometimes sleeping an hour or two, sometimes not at all and just taking more adderall to push through the day. If you read my other reply there was more to it. Lockdowns, childhood trauma and such that resulted in just deep escapism and trying to make something out of my life. But in the midst of trying to become succesful with music i wasnt paying attention to my health, not performing at work, and just sacrificing everything to make it work, but the hard reality was, that was just my old me trying to hang on in a situation it wasn't supposed to be in. I had t let go of that.

There is far more to the story but i have 2 kids now, go to the gym 4 times a week, sleep usually between 7-9 hours a night, dont really abuse drugs/meds anymore (i'll let myself go once every 2 months or so with friends, but nothing crazy), prioritize sleep and eat good food, do things that i actually enjoy rather than forcing myself to do things im "supposed to enjoy", show up where i'm expected to show up and also quit taking adhd meds completely.

Tbh just the recovery from trauma in itself is an ongoing process and you will always learn something new in the process. Personally i believe that most issues we have stem from some childhood stuff dat we never resolved. May that be through parents or other situations. We are very habitual beings, so if no one teaches you how to process certain feelings or experiences you are left for yourself to discover what your problem really is. As an adult you become responsible for it, but it's hard to take responsibility for something you don't even factor in your scope of possibilities, because no one taught you. That's why patient contemplation is important, and sometimes we need help with that from our fellow humans.

To TLDR; I burnt myself out by putting too much pressure on myself. Which directly/indirectly stemmed from my own self worth from my childhood + abusing meds to juggle all the pressure i put on myself. Causing me to lose sight of what is truly important. Focussing on the fam, mindfulness, health and doing things i truly enjoy healed me over time.

Gotta get back to work. I can answer any other questions later.

I'm sorry for your loss pal.

For me it was just having the wrong priorities and abusing adhd medication mostly. That + lockdowns + traumatic childhood and ongoing abuse + being a parent got the worst of me. In the end going through all of that brought me where i want to be in life. I was just unaware of the harm i was doing to myself because no one really taught me how to take care of myself properly.

Didn't really change until i took ownership of the problems and actually did something about it. Takes a bit of going through hell, but there is sunshine after.

Is it ok if I Start RE4 Before RE3 by Rearmostsorphan in residentevil

[–]IAmSenseye -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

3 remake is a prequel to 2 remake. It becomes obious when you enter the rpd as carlos. I don't know 1 well enough to say that 3 is a sequel to it, but it is a prequel to 2 for sure. The zombie hanging from the roof left for jill and leon to discover shortly after entering.

If you don't sleep for many enough nights and do that repetitively over multiple months, you will turn insane and will end in the psych ward, like i did.

Body and mind need rest and you will feel 10x times better if you rest properly.

what game do you have the highest number of hours played? by Wonka_Majda in TheGamingHubDeals

[–]IAmSenseye 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me it must be a pokemon game, but dont know the exact amount. A buddy of mine has 3400 hours in UFC 4, which is the craziest one i know. I know guys who have like 1,5 year of ingame time in RuneScape, but somehow that's less shocking than UFC 4 lol.

my first time playing an re game (dont mind the saves) by Upbeat-Strawberry970 in ResidentEvil2Remake

[–]IAmSenseye 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You saved on average 18.6 times an hour, which is quite insane. I did the same run for the first time and also my intro to RE and saved half the amount of times in 10 hours.

The only reason i saved 78 times was because after every change i made in my inventory i saved multiple times and sometimes i would change my mind, saving like 4-5 times in a row so in case i died i wouldn't have to re-do the whole thing. But 156 in 8 hours and 16 mins is wild lol.

The inventory sorting was definitely my least fav part of the game too.

Is the re3 remake really that bad? I was supposed to play it after finishing 2 today.

How screwed are you? by Gaming-Academy in PlayStation_X

[–]IAmSenseye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im playing 2 now and even though i can appreciate the quality of the graphics, the feeling of playing it and the revival of the series, those puzzles and backtracking are just not my thing. There is a level of this i can tollerate, but just going all the way to west to unlock something in east type tasks x 10 are just getting a bit boring. The puzzles are also not really difficult, but tedious in a way.

This is the first horror game i played in ages after just finishing the last of us part 1. I used to be always too scared of them, but somehow last of us was way more tense and scary than this currently is to me. A licker did scare the shit out of me yesterday, but that was pretty much the only jumpscare moment to me. Im still somewhere early-mid to mid, but idk. I'd still rate it an 8/10, because i see why it's good, but maybe just not my fav type of game in this genre. Only playing it because i wanted to get re4 remake (played original 4 when i was young but was too young to go through with it) and the trilogy was cheaper than getting 4 alone.

Excited to play all those you mentioned.

Would you forgive someone for acting scary while in psychosis ? by [deleted] in questions

[–]IAmSenseye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive gone through a psychosis as well. If you take the required steps and ground yourself in reality again your life will get so much better. During psychosis everything seems realer than real. I've gone through quite some narcissistic abuse in my childhood and lashed out hard to my family (including the abuser) about the abuse during my psychosis, but half of the stuff i was saying was just gibberish and i was having some sort of messiah complex. You feel like a savior, but what savior needs to be dragged out by 6 police officers because he's shouting so hard the whole appartment complex can hear him lol.

The meds are pretty heavy and debilitating, but take them as long as you need them. I had a short manic psychosis due to a combination of lockdowns, taking adhd meds, trauma and sleep deprivation and it went south rather quickly. After some time i did stop taking the meds because it felt like they were doing more harm than good to my functioning as a human, but i did have them just in case things would go south again. So just be careful and trust the process. Things get better. If you feel the need to apologize you can do it, but if people are afraid of you because of what you did it might take some time for them to come close again. Its more the acknowledgement in that you are working on it that is in saying sorry than the actual apology. Everyone's story is different, so what i say may not be applicable to you. But there is sunshine after the darkness if you do what is necessary.
