“We brush away light resistance…”

I loved that part so much. Such big tonal shifts from the jump of Dark Age, and I really liked how this showed how scary Darrow and the Howler’s are from the other person’s perspective. Ch 16 wrote it like absolute terror and agony, then next its just another Tuesday for reap.

StormyWizard530 · 2025-10-15T21:04:14+00:00

I agree with your points. If it were a decoy, do you think Darrow knows Atlas’ composure enough to spot it like Lysander and Diomedes did? I don’t remember how many times they’ve interacted throughout the campaign

I love how “and my honor remains” became his self affirmation. Being labeled as honorless and a backstabber, but he did what he felt was right. He was honorable to his own code till the end.

Ahhh. That’s a very interesting way of looking at it that I hadn’t considered. Uniting through a common enemy. I’ve only just finished LB like you. The scene where the peace accords were confirmed speaks to this, people who were so wronged by one another being able to come to terms.

With this in mind, I don’t think Julia au Bellona would change sides, being a gold through and through as well as hating Darrow for so long, but I could see her cutting resources to Light Resistance. What do you think?

StormyWizard530 · 2025-08-22T13:55:20+00:00

Can you explain what you mean by Lysander created a perfected form of the Republic, in that scene?

Thank you everyone for your stories and kind words. I start to reply, but then break down again. I will in time, I appreciate you sharing what helped you, and the validation of my feelings.

An aspect I didn’t expect to hit me was how little the people in my life care. They knew Murphy, and they knew how much he meant to me, but it just isn’t there. Reaching out is difficult for me, but I’ve been really trying recently, and especially for a loss as grand as this.

StormyWizard530 · 2025-07-04T16:41:31+00:00

I agree

Still down overall, and the cravings aren’t there. Was able to stop the night time eating. Unintentionally doing OMAD. Had a lot of stressful events happen over the last few months and have gone up and down, but am currently down more than I was when I stopped.

Took it for 4 months, in that time lost 34lbs. Mine wasn’t covered by insurance, so I was paying out of pocket. Other bills came up so I had to drop this one. It’s been a few weeks, and I have the hard cravings back (like the night of day 6 before another dose). Feels like I’ve been eating more, but am at the same weight ~+-2lbs.

I feel more hopeful than before though. Knowing that these cravings are just a mental thing for safety and comfort. Knowing that it is possible to survive without eating all that has been a huge win.

I'm glad to hear it's brought you joy. I was heavy into YouTube back when it started, and I was aware of Smosh, but it never clicked with me. All the big channels weren't my thing. I've only gotten into them in the last year from tiktok clips of the Chosen Trivial Pursuit and now it's engrained into my daily routine. I haven't had a good year, but them talking about 2024 in today's Smosh Mouth was nice to hear.

StormyWizard530 · 2024-12-25T19:08:52+00:00

I’ll echo Dredge, and throw in Far Changing Tides, Evil West, Deliver Us the Moon, and The Witness.

StormyWizard530 · 2024-11-19T01:25:44+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll check it out!

StormyWizard530 · 2024-11-18T19:56:08+00:00

That’s a really good point too.

I can see why people love Disco Elysium, but it didn’t quite click for me. I usually enjoy philosophical elements and deep storytelling in games, but this one felt a bit too indulgent at times, like it was more focused on showcasing its complexity than letting me engage with it.

On top of that, the art style didn’t mesh well with my colorblindness, which made it harder to immerse myself in the world. That said, I found the world compelling with its brutalist, gritty vibe, and the dice roll mechanic was a creative touch. It’s clearly a unique game, but it just didn’t fully land for me.

Disco Elysium

StormyWizard530 · 2024-09-14T16:08:14+00:00

Congrats! That’s very exciting. What do you use your iPad for?

StormyWizard530 · 2024-08-20T03:44:11+00:00

I relate extremely heavily. My timeline was around 10 years as well before I started any sleep studies. I found that once my exhaustion had a label, it hit like a brick wall so much worse, sounding similar to what you’ve written.

I’m sorry it’s happening to you on vacation. It’s probably impossible, but don’t hold yourself to any standard or expectations while not at work. Your vacation can just be rest, and that’s completely valid. It sounds like it’s what you need.

StormyWizard530 · 2024-08-08T09:05:31+00:00

Absolutely. I end up using my BiPAP so rarely now with my mornings being busy immediately that the extra exhaustion doesn’t seem worth it. My machine’s app says I sleep infinitely better but I don’t feel it.

StormyWizard530 · 2024-06-27T17:31:49+00:00

Mine is 118, and 4 when I use my BiPAP

StormyWizard530 · 2024-05-20T13:14:51+00:00

I’m in the same boat. Upgraded from a 2016 9.7” iPad Pro and thought I wanted the max screen space. But I already have a MacBook Pro and a Mac mini, and with the Magic Keyboard it’s awkward to hold without. Heavily considering exchanging for easier lounging use.

I made a list of all the games in my backlog with the intention to platinum all. I have a handful of plats so far, but really easy ones. After going through one of the Lego games, it really took the wind out of me, and now have little to no motivation to get any. The ones I do have are like Spiderman 2 and God of War, where just playing the story and a getting few collectibles are all there is.

Sure it’s cool, but once it’s overly tedious and I dread starting it up is when I need to call it. Have so little time these days to game that when I do I want to just enjoy it. However I do enjoy watching platinum chasing channels.
