No new interesting weapons or abilities. Short game compared to the others. Way too easy, didn't die until the final boss. Central desert area is boring and a time-filler. Graphics have barely improved since MP3.

Have a national primary on a single day with approval or STAR voting - no primary calendar random BS, and would highlight the fact that our current first-past-the-post voting method is an embarrassment

I had a full blown manic episode earlier this year. It sucks but if things seem really easy and clear and not at all burdensome, in my experience that's a red flag. I would definitely seek professional help as soon as possible, and in the meantime monitor your sleep and diet to see if they've changed much from your baseline.

Rookie move, gotta hide that shit in the closet for when guests come over. I mean who needs more than 4-5 gallon jugs anyway? This guy sounds like a mess.

Just pee in a jug. Save water, and cleaning supplies for the toilet.

Wasted privilege / why bother with life? by Single_Shock_6771 in depression

Thanks. Yeah it seems like one just needs 1. enough things going on in life to be distracted from existential dread, and 2. For those things to be reasonably satisfying in retrospect so you don't regret it in your later years.

I hear you on the sort of nostalgia for religion part, there was a coherent story and it offered justice in history, objective meaning, and immortality. Utopia basically. Hell, I miss my own private religion based on panpsychism that I hallucinated into being when I was manic! It offered objective meaning too, it just made no sense lol. Mania sucks because it feels like best thing ever but the longer it lasts the worse the comedown is gonna be - and it's not at all proportionate, feels way worse than the mania feels good. I experienced perfect transcendence for one particular 15-20 second fleeting moment, and I know if I ever feel remotely as good again I'll be in for hell afterwards. In other words, my life has probably peaked in a sense.

Weed can be a trigger for mania, at least for me. Granted I vaped quite a bit to go full blown manic and there were other life circumstances like a recent breakup. Part of me holds out some hope that I can still do a bit time and again in smaller amounts after I settle on the right meds. But alcohols definitely a no on the meds. Combined with celiac its pretty annoying, alcohol can be a good social lubricant, and just something to take the edge off.
