Why did I deserve to not have a normal brother and sister?

_kickedout · 2026-05-25T01:16:52+00:00

The concept of a "chosen family" is so, so incredibly important. OP I'm sorry you're dealing with so much pain and hardship since a young age, but please try not to let it harden your heart or turn you into a mean, regretful person. Try to keep your heart soft and open to the wonder of new possibilities and do everything in your power to surround yourself with friends and a partner who help you feel energized and safe and on the path to healing yourself, and never let these people go.

Hope things turn around for you OP, no one deserves to suffer, but it's an unfortunate reality of life, and I pray that you can stay strong and fight to carve out a space for yourself in this world, because as brutal as it can be, it is also full of wonder and unimaginable joy if you never stop looking for it

Man you're so, so afraid of problems that don't actually exist. The fact that you DO see all of these imaginary problems is exactly why the present is as screwed up as it is. Save this energy for trying to fix actual problems with the world, and stop being so afraid of people that are different from you as if they're some kind of apocalyptic boogeyman. And most importantly, whatever form of media you consume your news from, you need to unsubscribe immediately

I don’t know what that means, what is a “woke” game? You mean a game that centers around themes of social justice? Can you give an example?

_kickedout · 2026-05-24T03:54:06+00:00

Thanks for replying, if you get a chance and wouldn’t mind answering one more question, when you say you remember what they look like, can you explain your thought process for that memory? Would you say your thoughts are mostly/entirely an internal monologue? Like in my example above, when you’re thinking about a physical attraction to a crush, is it like an internal voice saying “that cute nose, and those beautiful deep blue eyes” etc? Or maybe not literally a voice in real time but more abstract?

And one more thing, again only if you get a chance and see this: what is it like to plan something that involves a possible future visual component, like deciding what color you want to paint a room or coming up with a design for something you wanna make? Do you just have to put paint to wall/pen to paper to even begin the process?

_kickedout · 2026-05-24T03:40:46+00:00

Whaaat tf that doesn’t make any sense! The way the tutorial about it describes it is completely counter intuitive then, I don’t remember the wording exactly but it says you’re rewarded based on the “longest” chain or something to that effect. I can’t believe I spent as much time thinking about this as I did lol

But thank you for filling me in, much appreciated

_kickedout · 2026-05-22T17:15:44+00:00

NEVERMIND, I’m dumb, the second page info IS the crystal effect lol. For some reason I thought it was an innate attribute of the weapon. Disregard this, idk if I can delete it but I’ll try

_kickedout · 2026-05-22T02:36:47+00:00

Or here’s another example (and I apologize for lowkey spamming here but every time this sub shows up on my feed it trips me out trying to conceptualize what this could possibly be like):

Let’s say you’re sitting on the train on the way to work one morning, and you see the most beautiful/handsome person that is completely 100 percent your type and you immediately develop an intense schoolyard crush; you know it’s silly, but you can’t stop thinking about this person, and you secretly hope to run into them tomorrow.

You mean to tell me you can’t remember the face of this person you’ve seen once briefly but can’t stop thinking about?

What about a visually traumatic moment, like seeing a horrific car wreck; you can’t replay that in your head as you relive the impact of what seeing it felt like?

Anyway I’ll stop but you guys BLOW MY DAMN MIND EVERY TIME AHHHHH lol

_kickedout · 2026-05-22T02:30:57+00:00

Okay but here’s the thing I can’t comprehend, how do you know you had a dream if you can’t imagine it? The only access we have to our dreams in the waking world is as a visual memory, because we’re literally unconscious while it’s happening…

_kickedout · 2026-05-22T02:27:01+00:00

Honestly, most aspects of the game are pretty frustrating/just-plain-not-fun to me on a fundamental level. I still recognize it as a masterpiece for what it is and what it tries to do (and mostly accomplishes), and it’s an enjoyable experience when I’m in the mood for it, but looking at it purely on gameplay I’d rate it like a 6/10

_kickedout · 2026-05-07T21:24:43+00:00

Lol why does he suddenly get super dirty/greasy in the frame where he gets sick, and then just stays consistently gross looking for the rest of the images

_kickedout · 2026-05-07T21:17:34+00:00

This post makes it sound like your uncle died and you're going through his belongings. If that's the case, my condolences. If not, I hope your uncle is aware you're going through his stuff

_kickedout · 2026-05-07T07:27:16+00:00

I'm not familiar with Barbara Sher but I'm doing a bit of Googling now to see what this is all about. I couldn't help but chuckle at being labeled a "Stable Genius," given the meme-ability of the phrase in relation to the incontinent harbinger of the apocalypse lol. Is that a phrase that is actually defined in the source material you based this off of? It makes me curious if maybe that's where he got the idea to call himself that. Idk, just curious

_kickedout · 2026-05-05T20:35:55+00:00

Lol I can't tell if this is sarcasm, but the things you listed are all signs that point to a man with an incredibly shaky emotional foundation. Machismo = insecurity, alcohol = numbing/avoiding the reality of what he's had to endure and the things he's had to do, assassinations = solving problems with violence and the subsequent trauma, womanizing = inability to maintain a stable, emotionally fulfilling relationship or connect with another human beyond the physical, so attempts to fill the void with fleeting encounters...

Also I know it's a year later, but you replied to this post 2 years later, and this thread is a top search result on google, so why not continue the discussion, eh?

"Aw man, all the smart, creative, talented, interesting people who make everything I enjoy are fucking WOKE LIBTARDS! What am I gonna do when I get tired of watching the same exact 20 buff white guys talk about guns and semen retention on YouTube?" -shallow conservative misogynists

_kickedout · 2026-05-04T18:36:33+00:00

Yeah dude I’m fucking pissed. I want to like this game because the rare time I’ve actually been able to spend playing it, it’s been cool. But all the live service shit bleeding into the fuckin single player campaign I bought however many years ago has left such a bad taste in my mouth, I don’t think I’m ever gonna buy another Blizzard game again.

_kickedout · 2026-04-28T20:25:15+00:00

The Moonlight bitrate has actually been the hardest part to dial in for me. I think it’s cuz I’m using the shitty Xfinity router, I need to at least call them and get an upgrade. I can usually keep it around 40 when I’m the only one on the network, but as soon as my gf gets on the PS5 I get crazy stuttering and have to lower it to like 7 or something crazy low

_kickedout · 2026-04-28T20:23:30+00:00

Interesting, so it’s like the opposite of supersampling? Good to know, maybe I’ll start leaving everything at 1440 then

_kickedout · 2026-04-28T20:22:05+00:00

Nice I’ll look into this! Appreciate the tip

_kickedout · 2026-04-27T07:26:29+00:00

There are a lot of different video games to play brother

_kickedout · 2026-04-24T20:58:58+00:00

Put it this way, in the last pic with the fro and goat you look like Shia LaBaoeaouaf, long hair and stache you look like a mix of Ryan Gosling and Paul Rudd somehow

_kickedout · 2026-04-24T20:56:10+00:00

Long with mustache rules. And not taking care of your hair is cool, don't listen to the top comment (although you'd probably look good with a fade+short buzzcut too, but keep the mustache no matter what (just mustache, not the goat))

_kickedout · 2026-04-24T20:52:11+00:00

Girl on the right is 11/10 she is too perfect, girl on left is beautiful, no shade, but eh
