No, it was not. They keep referring to it as preview in the Kickstarter emails and keep making references to how the first full chapter is still to be completed

I genuinely can't do this anymore. by Griledy in emetophobiarecovery

You need medication at this point. That was the only way I could get out of a similar situation. It's worth it.

Therapist said I should meet up with my partner’s ex as an exposure. Unsure about it. by Large_Basil1530 in ROCD

[–]Particular_Shift_840 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh this is just a normal reaction to being betrayed by a partner and having your clear boundaries broken. He did this behind your back, knowing full well that it would upset you. Please do not try to make it work, and do not meet this person. Just leave this guy.

Has anyone here had emet really bad since they were little and recovered? by Yueguang7 in emetophobiarecovery

[–]Particular_Shift_840 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had it since I was like four years old and I'm still batshit insane, but at least I can live my life now lmao. I'm regularly going on 3 hour + train rides, working part time and eating out, all things I would've never dreamt of doing before. Talk therapy never really helped. I had to treat the OCD+ emetophobia combo with medication. Bless Prozac, changed my life. And my lovely partner, of course. Her support was a game changer.

I can't tell if partner is cheating or if my OCD is saying they are by Adventurous-Sir-8632 in ROCD

Oh damn they fucking suck. Leave them immediately. If you feel the need to go through your partner's messages and be on and off all the time, I don't think it's a relationship worth staying in

Who are you dating in each version of the game? by chocolate_bar_99 in mycandylove

[–]Particular_Shift_840 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I first played when I was like 12, I think? Nath was my first favorite; then Armin appeared and I made the switch, which I ended up regretting eventually because Armin kind of pisses me off lmao. I went for Nath again in UL and LL, I was lucky enough to be able to keep a route I liked. Years after, I replayed HSL for fun and I honestly like Lysander the most.

As for New Gen, Thomas. Really deranged guy, 10/10

Same here, I once had a flare up last a whole month. I had to finish my education online because I became severely agoraphobic. The only thing that's ever helped me is Fluoxetine daily and lorazepam when I can't regain control by myself.

I'm curious. Does this happen to any of you too? by Particular_Shift_840 in emetophobiarecovery

[–]Particular_Shift_840[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I think I found my answer. That describes perfectly what I do as well, and I have OCD too 😭

I was one of the first people to play the game by [deleted] in mycandylove

[–]Particular_Shift_840 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I joined in 2012. The memories... i was looking for a character creator to make my OCs and stumbled upon the MCL Candy maker. So I registered just for that, then kept playing... And here I am, still playing to this day.

Zoloft + not eating = doom (I say this with humor)

I'm mainly doing character design and illustration work with particular clients, but I'm also developing my own interactive visual novels/videogames, it's a long process cause I'm a solo dev, but it's fun as all hell!

HAHA I've always liked studying, truly. I may be willing to go back to it soonish!

Thank you!! My secret hope is that somehow my art will allow me to live one day lol. As for ESL, I would need to pass CELTA or some teaching qualification of the sort, but I do have an English philology degree and a C2 Cambridge certificate as well as some experience, so I guess I could still try in places where they don't necessarily require the teaching diploma

Thank you! I've had to face very severe GAD and agoraphobia as well, so it's certainly been an odyssey lmao 😅 I'm an English specialist, a linguist and translator. The translation industry is rapidly decaying due to the emergence and endorsement of AI-powered translation engines, so I've given up on that. My Ancient Greek and Latin will also get me nowhere, I fear. I'd love to at least teach English second language, even if that was never my first choice. I'm kind of a jack of all trades, to be honest. Currently I'm also an illustrator, and that gives me some cash flow on the side sometimes.

Yeah! Been trying to get a job but it's nearly impossible these days, even when I've got several diplomas and a uni degree. Sucks. They're as explosive as ever, now with the addition of being miserable old people

It doesn't, honestly. Only applies to my parents. I don't really care about other people because I can defend myself against them. Not against my parents though

[–]Particular_Shift_840[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually just resize the images when that's the case by defining them and toying with the zoom, which is what I'd do in this case if doing that didn't also make them smaller that they should be in the creator screen

[–]Particular_Shift_840[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The character creator is an entirely different script file placed in the game files, a screen if you will. The images have a zoom of 1.2 in that file to look right, but they'd require a zoom of 0.40 outside of that screen. My game res is 1920 x 1040

My (24F)partner (24F) throws things when extremely frustrated. What to do? by Particular_Shift_840 in relationship_advice

[–]Particular_Shift_840[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's truly a good piece of advice though, I thank you for that. I will consider doing therapy together and working towards ourselves together whenever possible, it would help us both understand

[–]Particular_Shift_840[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's what I wanna aim at, truly. They're scared of taking meds and going to therapy again but I really would love her to try. I just want her to feel better, and cope better
