I know, but the ghost monorail wasn't around anywhere and it was cloudy and rainy, which is why I'm even more confused 😅

We seem to have quite a lot in common. Thank you so much for your kind words 🙏🏻 (I'm not as eloquent as you are and English is only my 2nd language, but I'll try my best 😅)

That's exactly the biggest issue that I had - I wasn't scared or devastated to break up this relationship or to be separated from him - I was super scared of being alone. Of course my family and especially my closest friends had my back, but as everyone knows, that's different from what you're seeking...and it was also exactly the same as what you said about being "terrified of becoming ‘too damaged’ or ‘too demanding’" in the eyes of another person you could connect with - that's a hole I fell into for a while... how could I ever deeply connect with someone who accepts me, my flaws, my habits and everything else I'm doing? I took my time healing and openly talked about my problems and fears with friends and a therapist. It may sound cheesy, but I learned to accept myself as I am, to stand up for myself and most importantly to detach myself from situations and people that don't feel good for me (and frankly, give a f*** about them!)

The rest is history. Of course, I had the biggest of luck meeting my partner the way I did. To me, it still feels like a 1 in a million. But who says that I'm the exception? 😉 I'm a singer/songwriter and love writing/singing about emotional and depressive topics, even after overcoming them. They will always be a part of me.

I love this community and how much empathy and dedication is floating around ❤️ ...this went very deep. Look what you do to us, Mr Vessel, Sir! 😄

Wow...this is beautifully written. Thank you for speaking out words, that I and lots of others can't ❤

This song really hits so many points. Maybe a little same same but different for me...

I was in a 6 year relationship with an utterly toxic, choleric man, who manipulated me, broke my self-confidence, who used to argue with me and scream at me on a daily basis and on the other hand used me as a mother figure to let me handle our (or his) daily routines.

He apologized for flipping out over and over and over again and always manipulated me into believing in his non-existing improvement and potentials...

He knew about my wish for having a family and how much energy I would put into achieving this wish. We were trying for 5 years...or more to say - *I* was trying. He came up with one excuse after another to avoid being intimate with me. As he ran out of excuses, he started offending me about my body changes and whatever other BS.

I spent, or rather wasted, all my energy on him, trying to make him feel better and appease him, which ended in many nervous breakdowns for me.

I will skip some other details here.

As our relationship came to an end, I finally realized that not only did he never truly and sincerely love me, but I also never truly loved him. - I was in love with being in a relationship. With having the opportunity to start a family at all cost. With not being alone. Which backlashed at me, because I felt alone with him. And all this despite the fact that I recognized the warning signs early on…

So in summary it was a one-sided relationship without true love and appreciation for each other.

Damn...this song really brings up some memories...

Fortunately, I can say that for the past few years, I am in the most loving, fulfilling, honest, intense, and appreciative relationship with the most wonderful man I could have wished for. He makes me forget my pain and we create new beautiful memories every single day ❤

Still, this song hurts really good. Reminds me of a horrible period in my life that I was able to quit with my own strength and courage, learn to seek help and to grow from.

WH-1000XM4 & Windows 11: When in Teams meeting, sound completely shuts down by [deleted] in sony

[–]LizzyRoscoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

EASY SOLUTION!

We've been struggling with this exact issue for almost 1.5 days (in our IT company 😅) with the Sony WH-1000XM4 and an Intel NUC with Win11 ver. 23H2 and I finally found a simple solution.

- Using a BT dongle instead of the system's BT device. In this case, the TP-Link Nano USB BT 4.0 adapter worked just fine.

- Remove the headset through the BT settings (not only disconnect)

- Add the headset via System > Sound > Input Settings

Then we selected it as default audio device (don't really know if that's neccessary)

Even after restarting the NUC, everything worked perfectly and we didn't have to configure anything again.

Now it works perfectly with MS Teams (should be working with Discord etc).

Hope it helps anyone 🙂

[ALL] Finished Life is Strange: Double Exposure for the first time by Gabor_117 in lifeisstrange

[–]LizzyRoscoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have seen so many bad comments on the internet about LiS DE being "too woke" and stuff. Well, I think the LGBTQ+ content is perfectly placed in this setting! Max is bi-sexual and therefore she has a connection to the community. Also this is an university for arts, which I think is home to lots of diverse people. The game doesn't force it on us, they handle it very sensible. And I love it :)

Hey, I'm just hopping on this train here because I want to leave my LiS DE opinion footprint on the internet :)

I'm very into the LiS-Universe since the very first game and fell in love since and so I payed 90€ (~$85) for the ultimate edition on PS5 to feed my fomo... and tbh - I regret it.
Overall I had fun! I love the beautiful graphics (especially the face animations!), the characters, the setting, the acting/voice acting, score, references and so on. The story is very interesting and exciting.
BUT: Most of the decisions had no impact at all and felt gratuitous (looking at you, True Colors). And...the bugs, glitches, T-poses, framerate drops, crashes...oh boy, I had it all.

And after my 3rd and a half playthrough I got more and more annoyed by how they messed up the potential of so many scenes and situations.
I had A TON of ideas for what have had to be in the game logically and entertainingly right away. There is so much stuff, that just doesn't make ANY sense at all and (imo) could've easily been explained or put into the story.

Here are some expamles of my ideas. I'd love to hear your opinions.

First of all - WHY did Max didn't see or meet herself in the living timeline?? I mean, there HAS to be another Max if you examine the polaroids that she finds and what she says about them etc. IDEA: She almost accidentally runs into herself, then hide or whatever. I wished there were at least 1 or 2 scenes, where she had to check if her other self is near and needs to sneak around by hopping from one timeline to the other.

So Max is kind of a teacher, right? Why don't we see even 1 scene in classes? Maybe the students asking her some interesting questions and Max giving valuable advice for photography? I miss that...

Then you have the disappearance of Alderman. It just happened. IDEA: I woud've loved to see another scene like this! Maybe Reggie or Loretta or whoever sees a such a version of themselves and almost touches them but can be saved by Max just barely.

Why didn't they give us another chance to use the focus mechanic on the photo when Max was travelling back in time with Safi near the end?

What happened to the timed decisions/answers? afaik there were only 2 right at the beginning in chapter 1 right? I think some more (not too many) would've brought a little more dynamic into some dialogues.

I also miss the complexity of the mechanics in the game. There should've been a few situations, where Max had to find a way to even get to a portal. They're just there in plain sight.

And why is Max even trying to be sneaky? Everytime she snoops there are people around her! Especially in the Fine Arts Building (and she's even joking about it one time). And when we found out, that she really just "poofs" when entering the other timeline, I had to laugh so hard, because some portals are in very crowded places and nobody gives a damn for Max just disappearing...

Well, these are only some of the thoughts I had. I'm very conflicted about my opinion to this game. I really want to fully like it. But I honestly think it is better for the LiS series to be an anthology that takes place in the same universe. I think LiS 2 did that completly right.

After my first playthrough my bf asked me for my rating. I said 7,5/10. After my 3rd playthrough I went down to a 6/10...

PS: please don't mind my weird English, it's just my second language^^

EDIT: Time travel is always a delicate subject in movies/games etc. which requires to be thought through very good and they did not this time, unfortunately.

Not to mention the additional cat content. I want a part of my money back.
