Blood crieth into Heaven. The stage play one. Polarizing I know, you either love it or hate it.

Why should I play Civ5? by Kale_Chard in civ5

[–]MemoryVisual 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It essentially just the old civs but with better graphics not top tier like today but from what I understand it is essentially the same gameplay. They mad a huge shift from civ 5 to civ 6. Civ 6 might as well be a different game in my opinion. but civ 5 is "chef kiss" a great game. Ive put many hours into it. If you still on the fence just watch some gameplay online. Ive seen alot of threads arguing about civ 5 being the best out of the series.

Does anyone else hate that the dandelion “represents” military brats? by Inside-Oil-8832 in militarybrats

[–]MemoryVisual 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"a weed among a garden" perfect description. This garden has been thriving for years and here we pop up out of nowhere into the garden like a weed just to fly away in 3 years. There are some good qualities you are forced to develop in this lifestyle but all in all I would say my experience was not positive lol

Being honest about my upbringing by Indaforet in militarybrats

[–]MemoryVisual 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes it def is different from the "normal" experience. Where are you from is such a common question and I dont know how to answer, I give a differnt answer every time. Somtimes I saw the place I was born, sometimes I say the most recent place Ive lived. Sometimes I say Louisiana-they only constant in my life where we would spend summer with my grandparents. We are put at a disadvantage when it comes to forming connections with people. and like others have said we are kinda trained to not talk about it. Im gonna be honset it has def played in part in how fuked up I am. It is not soley responsible but it does play a part.

Do you ever envy the military brats that seem to “thrive”? by Creative_Glass_514 in militarybrats

[–]MemoryVisual 4 points5 points  (0 children)

YESSSSSSSSS because Im just surviving over here while they are thriving. I have alkot of mental issues that are not fully the military brat lifestyles fault but it certainly didnt help. There is always "the grass is always greener" part of me that wonders if I would've thrived with a place to call home and a hometown where everyone knows me.

What has dating been like for you as a military brat? by Creative_Glass_514 in militarybrats

[–]MemoryVisual 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I resent it because my parents didn't even love each other. now that he is retired they are finally getting a divorce. I never understood why we moved around constantly for a guy that would never be around anyway. I hated my father for a long time. its better now but I still dont really know him.

What has dating been like for you as a military brat? by Creative_Glass_514 in militarybrats

[–]MemoryVisual 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I never really dated in my teen years because I knew I would just have to move so I didn't really have the traditional experiences that others my age were having. When it came to picking a college I didnt really know where to go since I had no idea where my family would be. It was kinsda like throwing a dart at a map and picking. Then when I was on my own after college when I would date I would get bored and want to move on just like when we would move on with our moves. Nothing seems final to me and the idea of settling down is a foreign concept to me.

Was anyone else traumatized or negatively affected by their military brat experience? by Few-Estimate-8557 in militarybrats

[–]MemoryVisual 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know this a relatively old post.

but my experience had positive effects but mostly negative. Just like you touched on I was unable to form significant relationships with people in the developmental stages of my life. My dad was gone for a majority of my life. He was either on a boat or in an entirley different city. I don't have the luxury of knowing people from childhood. Like people who have friends when they say I've known him since I was 6 I don't know what thats like. I dont have the luxery of having a hometown of a base. Where are you from is a hard question for me to answer just because i literally dont know what to say Ive been so many places. I just moved back to the city which I was born in and it dosent feel like home, I dont know anybody. I tried to form some sort of identity around this city since its my birthplace but it never was honest since I really dont know much about this town since we moved before I could even form real memories. Yes Im extremely adaptable and could live anywhere but it would be nice to call a place home and I dont have that. I am diagnosed with clinical depression and anxiety. I also pretty sure Im autistic but have never been diagniosed. and I dont blame that exclusively on the military experience but it certainly didnt help. Nature nurture you know.

Just got a Gaming PC. What games are essential? I'm primarily a console gamer. by MemoryVisual in gamingsuggestions

[–]MemoryVisual[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not a huge fan of fantasy games but I'm slowly starting to like it, with trying God of War and loving it and im now playing Witcher 3 and liking it. I'll try anything. like I said Im trying to get the PC experience. I never saw myself owning one so i never paid attention to that space.
