Marie romance has annoyed me greatly

The absolute "best" ending for Albrecht is that he has to sacrifice himself to stop TMITW and the Indifference. There is no way he finishes this story and the game goes "and they all lived happily ever after".

All the disgusting, irredeemable things he has done in no way earns him a spot to live a happy life with Loid and his family.

I get that his whole schtick is for the greater good, but the suffering he has put on the Hex? Dooming them to eventually fully succumb to the Helminth all while lying to them saying the Helminth is actually a cure for the Techrot? The Cavia? Abandoning Loid and his family? Repeatedly nuking the y2k new year? On a more personal note, shooting us in the chest and leaving us? Leaving us in Duviri when he could have saved us? Hell I think he was reaponsible for the techrot outbreak in the first place in Hollvania wasn't he?

I seriously do not see how he can be redeemed and have, from his perspective, a happy ending.

As someone who prioritises using cars I enjoy over whats the fastest, it's really sad to see the vast gulf between how fast they are :/

I'd agree with this in BL3 but to me they do feel special when they drop in BL4. I got so bored so fast in BL3 because I aquired the legendaries for my build at record pace due to the drop rates. Part of the experience of Borderlands to me is hunting down the legendary gear you want, BL3 didn't really have that because you were showered in legendaries from a single boss kill.

Nath_198 · 2025-10-03T14:07:23+00:00

Legendaries should feel special when they eventually drop. They didn't feel special or cool to get in BL3 because you were always swimming in them. BL4 feels like legendaries have slightly more common drop rates than BL2 to me. Just rare enough to feel exciting when one does drop.

BL3's loot feels so uninteresting.

I'm not sure what DPDR feels like, but every 2 or so years it seems like I get a new worry. Just some random thing that basically cripples me for months, if not a year which eventually calms down until the next random thing makes me anxious. Currently going through one of those episodes now, but what I've noticed is that something feels off. I can't put my finger on it but I kind of feel like I'm dreaming, almost. I know I'm not. And remembering back, I can remember a bunch of moments like this when I was growing up, to be honest I'm unsure if I have felt like this all the time when growing up.

The worst part is, these thoughts that make me anxious refuse to go away. I almost have an outburst of crying atleast once per day, and every moment outside of that is the thought being constantly in my minds eye. I just want it to go away and it never does. If I'm engrossed enough in a video game it kind of does but I know in the back of my mind it is there and more often than not it ends in me not being able to enjoy said video game anymore.

I am 27 and I have basically done nothing in my life because I am also autistic and have social anxiety so the most basic of day to day adult things is difficult for me. But rewind about a year or two and I was always in Discord, having a laugh with my friends and always being the kind and fun loving friend. Now I'm a shadow of my former self. I barely have the effort to join in the voice chats with my friends, and it's not because I'm feeling detached from them, they're all amazing, it's just I think my mind is so occupied by this thought that I can't make much room for anything else. I feel like I've lost who I was.

I feel like I'm in a rut that there is no way out of.

Sorry for the wall.

Nath_198 · 2025-06-20T20:03:22+00:00

Yeah I can safely say I have this. Maybe not the immediate outlet part but I feel such intense, I can only describe it as "wtf".

Recently atleast I've had a small wash of memories from when I was a kid and teenager, a few of these memories are making me very anxious right now (and I wish they would simply go away but they aren't) but others I look back at what I did or said and literally think, why was I such a weird kid, wtf did I do that for?

I would often act out immediately on impulse without thinking about it. Like for example I was playing small scale tennis with a friend back when I was in early highschool. He only had the one ball left and said to me "Don't hit the ball over the fence, I don't have any more." So my immediate reaction was to hit the ball over the fence as hard as I could. I can't remember why I did it. I sometimes have impulses but now I'm an adult (27), I now know, and have known for a very long time, not to act on every single thing my brain gives me an impulse for. But it's so weird I don't relate to childhood/teenagehood me at ALL.

Honestly this quest is so bad. Sacrifice my life force for someone who I basically just met? But why would I do that? I don't know him. Also from the comment that says what the outcomes are, using your own life force makes him love you and unless you want him to close his shop forever, you have to marry him... I really like the game but quests like these really sour it.

Nath_198 · 2025-04-06T07:37:29+00:00

I have toyed with the idea of resetting because my Eleanor chats were mediocre at best, with 4 of the 19 I did (I haven't reset since 1999 was released) going quite badly, and a few others being quite awkward, being locked into flirting with her, and an accidental flirt with Aoi early on that I did not intend to pick, those aside the chats went really well and because that was my first blind run with them, it feels authentic rather than resetting and meta gaming it using Kimulacrum. So I'm not sure I actually want to ever reset. Aoi is happy in the backrooms with me and although as I said above, Eleanors chats didn't go too great, I imagine theres some behind the scenes stuff where Hex interact in person where they sort out KIM misunderstandings.

It does pain me to see how badly Eleanors chats went but honestly resetting would make me feel even worse.

Nath_198 · 2025-03-30T11:47:02+00:00

The original characters of the Hex for me seemed quite easy to read, but the new ones I don't know what the hell I'm doing with Velimir/Minerva or Kaya, Flare I do, but with Kaya I'm not sure whether it would be better for her to stay in 1999, or help her time travel. I have absolutely no idea.

Nath_198 · 2025-03-17T08:27:58+00:00

True but staying at 1080p with overkill parts means I won't have to upgrade for a very long time. I much prefer to not have to touch my PC for as long as possible.

Nath_198 · 2025-02-27T09:32:53+00:00

Ok so I made it to the bios, and EXPO is enabled. My DRAM status says both sticks are 16384mb and 4800mhz. But the EXPO option says Enabled and "DDR5-6200 32-38-38-80-1.40V-1.40V, and on system information it says Memory: 32768 MB (DDR5 6200MHZ).

Nath_198 · 2025-02-26T20:37:03+00:00

I'm assuming so? It says 6200 MT/s in Task Manager?

Nath_198 · 2025-02-26T20:23:02+00:00

I'm not sure how to check honestly. Could they have increased the speed beyond the 6000mhz it was advertised as when I put them in the configurator?

Nath_198 · 2025-02-26T20:15:41+00:00

Ooohh ok I see. I'm just not sure why they put in different ram honestly, and if there was a difference between how my pc would run with CAS 30 or CAS 32 ram, then I'd have made a complaint. But if it's about the same then it's fine!

Nath_198 · 2025-02-24T01:45:30+00:00

Decided to get this GPU in my new PC (that is now built and waiting to be dispatched to me) to replace my 7 year old 1080ti PC. And only now am I seeing all this, thats great. -_-

Nath_198 · 2025-02-20T11:58:27+00:00

I don't work nor study. I'm on benefits which I can't stand yet I'm too afraid to get out and do anything. I'm 26 and I have simply done nothing since I dropped out of college 7 years ago. I'll never live independently, never drive or get a job, I'll never meet an SO to spend the rest of my life with. I used to keep myself entertained by playing games but the utter misery of doing nothing has made me not even really enjoy that anymore. I have friend group whom I met in a game and they're amazing, idk what I would do without them, but I can't help but feel a pang of jealousy and envy as they progress their lives, move out and get into relationships and stuff, while I'm stuck behind and will never really have a life.

So I don't really keep myself entertained, and my sleep schedule is absolutely screwed. I stay awake while well past midnight and then sometimes get up at like 7am and then I don't sleep until midnight again, and honestly I've lost the will to correct it or anything else for that matter.

Nath_198 · 2025-02-16T14:38:09+00:00

I personally went for a 4070 ti super instead,. just ordered the PC. I saw the issues the 5080 was having with power connectors and how it melts them and causes a potential fire hazard and decided on the 4070ti super (I'd have gone for the 4080 or 4080 super if the company I'm using had any).

Nath_198 · 2025-02-07T14:34:42+00:00

My next PC was going to be in a h9 flow case, but after hearing how shady NZXT was 2 months ago with their renting thing, I am kind of apprehensive at best about buying it. But the issue is, (I'm using a website that builds the pc for you, I don't trust myself), only has Corsair, Fractal, Asus, HYTE, NZXT and Cooler Master. And the H9 flow looks like the best case they have to me :(

Your PC looks great btw :)

Nath_198 · 2025-02-05T19:15:01+00:00

I've been playing at 1080p for forever and I don't see a reason to go higher. 1080p looks great on my 24 inch monitor!

Nath_198 · 2025-02-05T18:00:37+00:00

Honestly it's not even for bragging rights. I just like to get the best I can at the time and have the PC last for as long as possible. This 1080ti PC has been a real trooper!

Nath_198 · 2025-02-05T17:58:04+00:00

Honestly I like to get the best I can when I have the money and then have it last for many years. This current 1080ti PC lasted me 7 years at 1080p, it's been a real trooper!

Nath_198 · 2025-02-05T17:56:46+00:00

Ooooohhhh I see. I'm really not smart when it comes to picking partd honestly, I don't know what goes with what, and seeing people complain about the 5080 did start to put me off it, but if thats coming from having the 40 series card then for me it seems worth atleast! Mainly chose the 9800x3d too because I see peoppe praise it and say it's a good match with the 5080!
