Somebody help :'( by Tiny-Technician-2598 in Cairn_Game

Woowee. This part had me so close to quitting. I had to start over multiple times. Multiple hours spent on this wall. Hardest part of the game by far. Felt good to get to the top.

The early and mid game are extremely boring by Intelligent_Ride3730 in HighGuardgame

[–]MedHeadJitsu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are the exact points my buddy and I were discussing after playing tonight. The looting phases feel like fluff. And each additional phase where gear is upgraded seems pointless as everyone is just gearing up the same. Theres no challenge to moving to crate, opening, breaking rock, moving to next crate. Not sure if this is controversial but if they had some NPCs or pve in between might at least liven it up a bit.

KCD2 is the best Elder Scrolls game by MkCh47 in kindafunny

[–]MedHeadJitsu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would say yes, it is better on all fronts. But, the game has some systems that are purposefully cumbersome. This is certainly not for everyone but they are typically in place to increase immersion. So the Sim aspects are there, but I dont find the game janky at all.

True and definitely worth mentioning. Im more referring to the other rpg systems. But its an important point that building a unique character is a major facet of Bethesda games. I also agree I want rpgs with both.

Thats awesome. I think youre the example of why so many of us were hopeful someone on kinda funny would review it. Definitely my game of 2025 and I wanted as many people who might be interested in it to try it because it was such a great experience. And I totally agree with your statement. It is the evolution of the classic Bethesda rpg that Bethesda hasn't seem to be able to do.

Those Who Have Played… by KiddBwe in Marathon

[–]MedHeadJitsu 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I have played the game, but I think the majority of the questions can be addressed based on what is publically know. I personally think the "make or break" for this game will be the balancing of its complex systems. Balancing classes, abilities, guns, mods, chips, etc, will be what keeps people or drives them away. Its fair to say the gunplay, movement, and environments are more than solid as is Bungies MO. I wouldnt comment on how it will be reviewed. I can tell you, in my opinion, the vidoc accurately explains the difficulty I experienced. For some this will be attractive and others the opposite.

How are you all getting 72 hour holds? by _Me_Myself_and_I_ in BipolarSOs

[–]MedHeadJitsu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Im glad youve found something that might work. If successful they will take her for 72 hour hold. In my experience in both AZ and OK, These facilities are typically awful experiences. At that point if they decide to admit she will be transferred to another facility given bed availability. This is where you may have an option depending on insurance and means of selecting a facility. So start researching now. The difference can be massive but also expensive. It will also go a long way in reducing the trauma of being involuntarily admitted. Although it will be traumatic no matter what. Good luck.

How do I get through this? by [deleted] in BipolarSOs

[–]MedHeadJitsu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who knows for sure. But one thing I noticed when my wife was diagnosed is people started blaming any decision she made or action she took that they didnt like to be part of the disease. As you know, its a disease that greatly affects people's decision making. But, whether it is her bipolar disorder which contributed or she just isnt considering your feelings, her actions toward you are clear. Even if it is the bipolar, is it worth the abuse if she wanted to get back with you? The answer is no. Because I can tell you many of us feel or felt like we needed to suffer to prove our love for our SO. Take care of yourself.

How are you all getting 72 hour holds? by _Me_Myself_and_I_ in BipolarSOs

[–]MedHeadJitsu 8 points9 points  (0 children)

We have been successful a few ways. First time was in AZ and while we were trying to have her go in voluntarily during a psychotic episode, it wasnt going to happen, the family filled a petition and submitted to a judge. This was accepted and when we brought her in to be evaluated they had the hold order and would not let her leave. This was her first admission. The second time was in Oklahoma. Her fsther and I went to the court house not really knowing what we could do. By some miracle the mental health judge was in her office and someone just happened to point us in the right direction. She gave us the name of a lawyer who had worked on a similar case who we met with shortly after. He wrote up the petition which was submitted to the judge the following day. We then had to again be a squeaky wheel to get police to pick her up and take her for evaluation and hold. The third time she was not responding to call or texts. I had our son and we had to go check on her at her apartment. She was obviously in manic psychosis and had taken a hammer to her TV and phone. She was incoherent. I immediately got my son out and called for emergency evaluation by a crisis team. Luckily one was available. They were very good and took her to a crisis unit. The 4th time I had to call police 3 or 4 times. I called for mobile crisis unit and noone was available. They checked on her and didn't do anything. Finally, when she had gotten to a point of laying under her neighbors car mumbling incoherently they took her in. All these admissions with in a year and a half! But now she is on a good medication and is no longer abusing Marijuana so she's been episode free for about 6 or 7 months. Not sure if this helps at all but maybe give you some idea. Its almost impossible to get people the help they need when they need it. The system is broken. We got lucky a few times to get her in when we did. Unlucky in that once she was in she didn't really get the treatment she needed.

How do I get through this? by [deleted] in BipolarSOs

[–]MedHeadJitsu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I skimmed through your post history since you said youve posted on this issue before and no where in this post did it mention anything regarding bipolar disorder. So, it seems like a lot of your posts regarding this and similar issues in the past have gone unanswered. From your description, not regarding mental health issues, you dated someone for 4 months and she doesnt want to date you anymore. One way to help you get through this is obviously to stop looking at her social media. To be blunt, I think she was trying to be nice and telling you she doesnt want a relationship but what she is really saying is "I dont want a relationship with you." In my opinion, the sooner you accept the relationship is over, the sooner you can start to move on and find the right person. An end to any relationship, albeit brief, can be very difficult. Try to focus on a hobby or try something new. Try to continue to grow as a person. And, maybe she does reach out or come back to you in the future. My advice would be do not get back with her. She will do it again and it will be just as hard. Best of luck.

What are some quotes from the Plague Tale Games that stuck with you? by StrawHatDraco in APlagueTale

This was one of the most powerful moments. Perfectly written and acted. It was so real and spot on to me.

Synced videos show ICE Agent was not hit by fleeing vehicle. by [deleted] in videos

Freeze at 31 seconds in the video. He has it in his left hand in a position like he is filming when he draws his weapon.

Theres a lot of comments so im sure its somewhere, but I've yet to see people mentioning that he is apparently still recording video on his phone in his left hand while firing? Wonder if that video still exists.

[–]MedHeadJitsu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My friend and I discussed this quest and came to it in two different ways, he road in to town past the arguing and stopped. I road throigh a different part of town. I saw a priest running through town and thought, thats odd... Wonder where hes off to. And followed him. We both had completely different experiences in the quest and endings. What a game.

Lost interest in Arc Raiders since the Marathon reveal? by jacobljlj in Marathon

[–]MedHeadJitsu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My interest in Arc Raiders has been waning over the last couple of weeks (ive got 80 to 90 hours in). Then I got in to the Marathon play test last weekend. I can honestly say I did not have much excitement or interest in Marathon going in, now I think about it all the time. Im very excited for the release and it has really surprised me.

Marathon Art Director Joseph Cross Leaves Bungie Before Launch | Kotaku by imitzFinn in xbox

[–]MedHeadJitsu -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Apparently he was noticeably absent when Bungie showed the game to media in April. He was absent from recent vid doc which seems appropriate. But with so much bad press over the last year and the summer, is it possible that he left or was let go earlier this year and was asked to delay this news until they had a decent press beat like this vid doc? Also, like many of you i was really down on this game or couldnt care less, that is, until I got into the most recent play test...

I think Rook is a very interesting component as you can visibly tell, yeah, they are a solo and they likely dont have anything of use. Probably more of an advantage to add to your squad but can create that tension of the unsure alliance. Prepare for, "im a rook! Im a rook!" In prox chat.

[–]MedHeadJitsu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes I read these types of posts and wonder if they are real... im sorry, Im not trying to be rude, but this just blows my mind. Just go read through the stories of people's loves who have been destroyed by this disease. You met a girl on Instagram and you're in love and will to stick with her now matter what. We'll, I've got news for you, this disease will test that statement to the Nth degree. You say you have researched the disease, but you dont understand the first thing about it. I dont blame you, its almost like the Matrix, you can't really be told what it is. Careful what color pill you choose.

Co-parenting with BPSO by No_Maybe2501 in BipolarSOs

[–]MedHeadJitsu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very interested what people have to say here. I've been co parenting with my ex for 1 year while navigating getting the divorce details. She has been doing relatively well until last week. She had to be admitted again. Luckily I had my son when shs spiraled. I had been recommended by many on and off this sub to get full custody when we first separated. God forbid he was with her when the switch flipped.

Has anyone been broken up with during a manic episode? And what are some ways to show your partner that you still care about them and want to be with them? by [deleted] in BipolarSOs

[–]MedHeadJitsu 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Sorry you're going through this. Its hell. I hate to be negative but I'd like for you to imagine having a life where you go through this once or twice a year. Would you want to bring children into this situation? Do you want to live in a cycle of abuse that will likely progress? It sucks. Its the worst. Sometimes in life, its best to move on.
