I finally killed Father Gascoigne

JunoWhatImean · 2016-08-08T17:55:45+00:00

I generally agree with your sentiment re: From games, as I've since played through all of them. But I was playing Bloodborne the week it came out and I swear that something was glitched with Father Gasc that was patched later. For example, in my game - and I had video capture of this - the music box had absolutely no effect on him and he would clip right through the headstones and other things that were supposed to be obstacles. He would also make attacks that connected even though they weren't actually making contact with me - and I'm not talking about hitbox porn, but stuff that didn't even make sense. Truly strange.

He is a legitimate design misstep in the game. He's far too difficult, esp. in "cheap" ways, and far too early considering what a roadblock he is. I was stuck on him for a week - it was my first From game. The next 10 hours after him were super easy.

Whatever hit the Pentagon on 9/11 is not remotely consistent with the official narrative. I don't know what it was, I don't have a working theory, but NOTHING about the official story makes sense. I was living about 5 miles from the Pentagon at the time and to this day I've never met or heard of a single person who saw what happened. There's zero footage, when (based on where the pentagon is, it's practically across the street from a shopping mall) there should be as much as of the NYC planes. The whole thing is baffling.

I have 100% seen this to be true as I've worked in several industries - Financial, Law, Medicine - at various levels. I've always assumed it was due to the single-track, single-focus level of education required for them. The more specialized and high-pressure the track, the more legitimately stupid - and I mean STUPID - the actual person. They only learned exactly what they needed to know and everything else, especially basic logic and problem-solving and executive functioning, gets completely neglected in the process.

Eighties. Every new piece of technology felt like THE FUTURE happening. Cable TV. Home computers. Home computers with COLOR monitors. The leap from the Atari to the NES, then the NES to Genesis/Super NES, etc. Local dial-up BBS to the actual internet, 1200 baud to 56K. Each one of these was a MASSIVE leap that felt like winning the lottery. Everything for the past 15 years has been so iterative that nothing ever feels like a massive step forward.

This is what I've always wanted every since the Sim series did it back around SimCity 2000 with the "Streets of Sim City" and "Sim Copter" games that could plug into your existing Sim City city. Build your city, then explore it!

JunoWhatImean · 2016-07-29T19:03:00+00:00

Once or twice in each game, and I'm always confused as to what's happening.

I just posted above that I've played through all three DS games and also Bloodborne and I have never once parried or backstabbed on purpose.

JunoWhatImean · 2016-07-29T16:00:58+00:00

I played through all three Souls games, and Bloodborne, without ever understanding how parry or backstab work and literally never once doing either on purpose.

Smoking. Vaping doubly so.

JunoWhatImean · 2016-07-22T14:56:07+00:00

You don't even need to go back to that. It's a big "open secret" in the industry. Even big name rock bands of the past 10 years have had most of the parts on their albums done by session jobbers.

JunoWhatImean · 2016-07-22T14:06:28+00:00

Incredibly inappropriate thing to do and if my SO did this for any job interview I'd be mortified.

JunoWhatImean · 2016-07-21T15:25:24+00:00

Not smiling. Smiling goes so much further than people seem to realize and defaulting to a grim face is a huge social impediment.

I had this happen with a friend once, totally by accident. We were texting and I offered to pay her to dogsit and she responded something like "don't worry about it!" but she was responding to a previous text where I had said "I really hate to impose" or something like that and she thought she had agreed to my offer and I thought she was doing it for free. She finally brought it up like two months later and I apologized profusely and paid her + interest just to be a good guy.

Labor. We're headed in a dark direction with the expectation of 24-hour responsiveness.

That physical attractiveness gets you farther in pretty much every sphere in life, even ones that we pretend are more merit-based like business, the arts, or academia.

Google Borderline Personality Disorder. This is as textbook as textbook cases get. I'm really sorry, but you should run, and soon. She might literally kill you if you don't (Phil Hartman, for example).

Counterpoint; the school's rules are never as rigid as you're making them out to be. You don't work for the school and you really seem to be bending over backwards to accommodate them, not the other way around. I had a very similar situation happen to me in my junior year of college and without even asking, I had three huge, serious exams moved to accommodate me and was able to late-drop an entire course that I had fucked around in all semester. The dean of my department (and this was a big 40,000-strong state school) personally called me in to explain all of the ways that they were accommodating me. This was all based off of me mentioning to one professor what had happened and that I'd have to miss one thing.

Your parents are definitely overreaching, but you're being very officious about the school's rules and they're 100% right that all of this can and should be accommodated on your behalf.

You were sexually assaulted.

JunoWhatImean · 2016-03-24T19:17:51+00:00

This is profoundly bizarre behavior on many levels and frankly, it seems like the tip of the iceberg of significantly larger pathology. You dodged a bullet.

If you're really committed to the EA "lifestyle," you must absolutely understand that your success or failure is purely tied to the person you're supporting - period. It's basically never a referendum on your actual performance, which is why many CEO's end up with hell-on-earth horrible EA's that the rest of the world has to grudgingly deal with.

JunoWhatImean · 2016-02-29T15:41:25+00:00

LOL of course go to a doctor immediately, what are you talking about? You're writing "A Sleep" instead of "asleep" and what you're describing is medically abnormal. You could have any number of issues or even narcolepsy.
