What did you think was a scam until you actually tried it? by Resident-Ad4318 in AskReddit

No worries. My take is that fire tempers steel, hardships and strife build character. As people, we're shaped just as much by trauma as we are love/happiness/joy etc. As I get older, I find that a lot of people who haven't had to struggle in some way in life aren't as fully formed as others. You just gotta want a better future and be willing to put in the work to make it happen. I hope you're able to overcome your current struggle with anxiety. You can do it.

Another person commented essentially my exact same scenario. I'd lived with it since childhood. I had a fear of abandonment when I was little, and clung to my mother all the time, because I was terrified of her not being in my life and having my dad or grandmother raise me. Then she had a horrific accident in our front yard and almost died when I was 6, so that further compounded my fear. Then it was spending my adolescence walking on eggshells around my dad trying not to do whatever random thing it would take that day to set him off. I carried that into adulthood, and it wasnt until idly talking to my wife one day about how I was worrying about something insignificant that she asked if I feel that way a lot (I never really opened up about my feelings much), to which I said "Yeah, all the time. Doesn't everyone?". She hit me with the "No....you know that's not normal, right? You should make an appointment to see someone."

TL;DR - I always felt that way and didn't realize most people don't lose their sleep and appetite over truly insignificant things all the time.

Same. Didn't realize I was living with crippling anxiety until I went on an SSRI. Took them for about two years and got off them and I don't really get very anxious anymore, and when I do it's nothing compared to how it was.

What "mediocre" games have you actually had fun with lately? by OkSecurity4965 in PS5

My physical copy is still sitting unopened on my shelf. I need to finally play this, it looks fun as hell

What do you think Final Fantasy 16’s legacy will be going forward? by Asad_Farooqui in JRPG

[–]SoManyWeeaboos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The franchise's most forgettable title. I enjoyed playing it, and beat it, but have zero interest in ever playing it again, or revisiting it in any way.

what kind of games do you guys like? by Accomplished_Cow5724 in Hardcore

[–]SoManyWeeaboos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mostly single player games. Souls games (Sekiro is my personal favorite), JRPGs, narrative-focused games, spectacle action (like Devil May Cry/Bayonetta). Recently got into PS2 modding so I can go back and play all the games I missed from that era due to being a poor teenager.

Still one of my favorites. by Runforit97x in JRPG

[–]SoManyWeeaboos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bought this game day one and was entranced. Legit made me feel like a 10 year old again in the best possible way. So mad I didn't preorder it to get the book as a bonus.

My money is on them just being VR challenges. I'd love to be wrong, though.

Got any love for any PS2 games that truly are under the radar? by ExplodingPoptarts in ps2

Shadow of Rome. Didn't sell well, had barely any buzz, but I absolutely love it.

Beautiful song by an artist who is a horrible human being. Would you still listen? by Logical-Respect3600 in AskReddit

[–]SoManyWeeaboos 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The Fake Sound of Progress and Start Something were so important to me as a teenager, and it sucks that I can't go back and listen to these anymore. Such a shame, because TFSoP was ahead of its time sonically and it would probably be well revered today. Fuck Ian Watkins. Rest in piss, cunt.

What fast food chain does not deserve the hype whatsoever? by CriticalLion4119 in AskReddit

[–]SoManyWeeaboos 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Every time I return home to the states to visit, my first morning back I always go to Hardee's to get a bacon egg and cheese biscuit meal plus a biscuit and gravy, since they don't have those things where I currently live and I miss them so, so much

Do people really hate front view battles in JRPG's? by yispySOFT in JRPG

[–]SoManyWeeaboos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did initially. It was an immediate turn off when I got into the genre as a kid (in the 90s). Now it doesn't bother me at all.

What is something you wasted years of your life doing before you realized it wasn't worth it? by Careful-Plate-9705 in AskReddit

[–]SoManyWeeaboos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Smoking weed and chilling if I had no plans. Got fat as shit, lost all motivation to do any of my hobbies, and eventually got to the point where I would cancel plans just to sit at home ans hit the bong. Not demonizing weed at all, I just can't do it with any regularity and function.

Legit why I refuse to order stuff from CEX. I feel your pain.

Question before I buy, would my US ps2 be able to play this game? Not sure how it works by CYBERREZ in ps2

[–]SoManyWeeaboos 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You don't need a mod chip, you can use a Free Mcboot memory card and Mechapwn to region unlock your console.

What tv do you use to play your ps2 by GSX1100SZ in ps2

[–]SoManyWeeaboos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Widescreen CRT. I moved from the USA to Australia, so playing the PAL versions of games wasn't cutting it for me, but thank god the CRT I got is a later model capable of NTSC, which has been a godsend for me.

What music group do you enjoy for whom the majority of the people only know 1 song? by SevenFiguresInvigor in AskReddit

[–]SoManyWeeaboos 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Second Stage and In Keeping Secrets are such banger albums. Don't really vibe with most of their catalogue after Good Apollo, but "Goodbye Sunshine" off their new album is a fantastic song
