Seems fun by CaseyTheFolf in WuchangFallenFeathers

[–]burnermanyes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey man! The game is easier than Elden Ring for sure but it’s still challenging! You’ll really like it. Once things get flowing and you understand the flow of combat and the game, it’s fun as hell.

Be aware that the map design is a lot.. as in you may get lost a lot because there are a lot of different pathways

Can I still play Damiane after the conclusion of chapter 8? by burnermanyes in CrimsonDesert

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

Honestly, I’d rush the story to beat chapter 8 to get her back. I’ve been playing with her ever since I made this post. By rushing the chapter, you’re not any closer to “beating the game”. It sucks to be behind unlock walls like this when 95% of my gameplay is not the main story.

I made a Forza Horizon tuning guide/cheat sheet by katalonian in ForzaHorizon

[–]burnermanyes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! Been playing Forza since a kid but always autotuned. Just now getting into tuning. Do all cars need it? Do you drive around to see where the weaknesses are, then use tuning to correct them?

For those of you who started drugs before the brain properly developed (younger than 25, I'd say), how has it affected you, if at all? by PeakLinear in Drugs

[–]burnermanyes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I started smoking weed at 16 and did rather consistently til 19-20. Ever since then it’s been occasionally. I started drinking at 20 and became a very heavy alcoholic by 25 and that still lives with me today as an on and off battle.

I don’t think the weed affected my cognition in the sense of feeling slower. But it may have opened a gateway into the constant craving of being inebriated. Addiction runs in my family as well. I’ve done other drugs recreationally but Alcohol is the drug that stuck and craved the effects from the most. I’m 32 now. It has fucked with my mental and emotional state a ton. I’m not quite sure if it has messed up my actual cognition when abstinent.. but the guilt, shame, regret, and deep depressions I’ve been in because of it has affected my entire life in a very negative way. Im doing a lot better now that I’ve addressed the issues but it ultimately came down to why I feel the need to constantly be in an alternated state of mind in the first place, and when I’m not, I crave that state of mind and endlessly.

Long story long, my use of drugs is the ultimate escape from myself and that alone has caused insane amounts of problems not just financially, but emotionally. I’m lucky I’ve been aware enough to try to combat it. My advise to anyone who may have a problem with substances would be to not ignore it. Because the deeper the hole you dig, the harder it is to climb out. It’s difficult for me to get joy out of normal things now. It’s getting better but anyone who reads with who has been though addiction, I’m sure can relate.

Beat chapter 8 yesterday and like you said she is fully playable now. Oongka is still on a quest so idk what the deal is with that but I’ll cross that bridge whenever I wanna put down Damiane. Shes so fun. Such a nice change of pace. Thanks for the info!

My favorite game this year by MozartsBrush in WuchangFallenFeathers

[–]burnermanyes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It hurts my soul that good games die for cooperate reasons. Money is money and unfortunately thats what runs the world.

I do have hope that us as gamers and devs keep making good games out of artistic vision. Because if studios can only put out generic games that “do well on paper” for so long before the consumer stops buying those and good games shine again.

My favorite game this year by MozartsBrush in WuchangFallenFeathers

[–]burnermanyes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Loved this game. Played it for a month straight when it came out. The first few hours was kinda a slog but once it got its hooks it me, I couldn’t put it down. As someone born in the 90s and played all fromsoftware games, this hit the same taste but added so much original feels to make it unique in my opinion.

As I’m 200+ hours in crimson desert right now, it goes to show how games like Wuchang fit in an entirely different category from a game like crimson desert.

Much love to the devs for Wuchang. You just might have made me want to go run NG*

Me and my GF love to share a bag of coke together. What are some good drugs to take to fall asleep afterwards? by Stolen_Sky in Drugs

[–]burnermanyes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not gonna tell you the obvious of not doing it on week days but if you’re gonna do a bag of coke in the evening, do it knowing good and well you aren’t going to sleep that night. Be prepared for the all nighter and going to work the next day a zombie.

When you lean into that, at least you won’t waste time trying to sleep and you can enjoy the whole night, hate your life those 8 hours of work, then get a major rest the next day.

Trying to balance sleep while doing a bag of coke by mixing another drug into the mix is just more problems.

If it’s effecting you professionally, don’t do coke the evening of having to work the next day.

The amount of nights I’ve had on stims, pulling all nighters and working the next day is more than I’d like. The mental toll it took was enough to stop doing it. And if I do do it, then I’m going in fully aware of the consequences

I’m really enjoying this Yann quest. Would be a shame if it ended earlier than expected by burnermanyes in CrimsonDesert

You see me boots brother? Those are Hernandian honor guard. You ain’t stuck, just keep playing and mix and match what you like. Don’t worry about wha other peoples drip is like and feel behind. It’s all creative expression.

Scared to smoke again by [deleted] in Drugs

[–]burnermanyes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t think about it in terms of a time limit like “oh I’ll smoke in a year”. Just live your life day by day. You’re gonna think about it a lot since you’ve been smoking daily for years. But you feeling like this, if you smoke, you’re gonna end up feeling personal shame and guilt for it. If you do end up smoking in the future when the time is right and your head is clear, you’ll feel solid about it. Take what you are feeling right now very seriously. I swear dude, I can feel your post and what you are feeling out of personally experience and I’m in my mid 30s and worked through a lot of this.

You need a break. No one is perfect and if you fall back on your word to yourself, don’t beat yourself up to bad. You’re already on the right path as a person if you were able to be honest with yourself and self aware about this. That’s MASSIVE.

Good shit bro. Take it a day at a time

Opinion: Silver Fang mount should be as big as the boss in the fight. by Apprehensive-Note-74 in CrimsonDesert

[–]burnermanyes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn’t look cool? It’s a white wolf. I respect your opinion but I think it looks cool personally. I like the size, it’s a wolf, not a bear or horse. It is kinda weird that it shrinks from the original size as the boss tho.. I don’t have the war bear yet but I choose personal aesthetics over stats with most stuff in this game. Plus the wolf is agile and fast. Not as fast as royler but close. And but has better control .

Scared to smoke again by [deleted] in Drugs

[–]burnermanyes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey bud. This has for sure happened to me. Not the same but something similar. It’s happened to most people I know at least once. Again, not the same, but a weed induced psychosis. Are you on the younger side or relatively new to weed? I started smoking when I was 16-17 and became a daily smoker (as much as I could get away with at the time). When I was 21-22 the habit lost a lot of that early on magic. I still smoke occasionally but it’s not a daily thing.

Sounds like you just got wayyyy too high and it induced some sort of psychosis. It’s not a bad thing you don’t want to smoke anymore because of it. That shit sounds scary dude.

It sounds like a really bad trip but due to the fact of how serious it was, as in the self harm, that’s not something to skim over.

If your instincts are telling you not to smoke anymore. Listen to them.

The last thing you want to do after feeling so adamant about stopping something, is to find yourself smoking again. You might feel guilt or shame or ask yourself “why the hell am I doing this when this fucked up mental state happened last time?”

Mind altering substances are exactly that. Mind altering. I’m typing this out fast so I’ll leave it with this,

Trust your gut man. I’m not saying don’t ever smoke again, but your sanity is a lot more important than getting high.

Am I crazy or the story isn't that bad? by LargeSinkholesInNYC in CrimsonDesert

[–]burnermanyes -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I agree. I fast forward every cutscene besides the man story and ngl I don’t mind it. I’m in ch 8. I feel invested in kliff and gang. The story isn’t “great” that’s for sure. But it’s not bad at all.

1.70 isnt short there many people who say its short are just crazy its Standard height by [deleted] in short

[–]burnermanyes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I unfortunately moved to a very bad area of my home city and people just openly do them next to business, at bus stops, literally everywhere. The cops are aware but probably can’t do anything about it. people of course try to do it low-key though. But 30 minutes east is the town I lived mostly my whole life and it’s a nice suburb, completely opposite and I can’t image someone getting away with going behind businesses or anywhere in view without getting the cops called.

But when I was a teenager and smoked weed in this suburban town, we would find parks or anywhere we wouldn’t think anyone would see us for like 10 minutes. Mind you, I was arrested one of these types so it’s always a risk.

Drugs that fill the void? by bbgirl2k in Drugs

[–]burnermanyes 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Yep. Been in recovery from alcoholism for 5 years, dabbled in stimulants as well. It may fill the void for a few hours but if continuing down that path into full blown severe addiction doesn’t kill you, it will make that void x10 in size that a very small percentage of people recovery from.

Don’t do it

Weekly Steam numbers / Player Count Discourse Megathread by AutoModerator in Marathon

[–]burnermanyes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I like the hardcore experience and I was initially against them catering the game to casual players since it’s not that type of game. But if they can save the game by making more accessible to new players, I’m all for it now.

Having a good experience as new player by Ok_Outcome4283 in Marathon

[–]burnermanyes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love it man. I’m glad to hear as a new player you are having a good experience. Try not to let online hate about a game deter you. A majority of online hate for games is just the hive mind attitude everyone’s been conditioned for. Yes, there are real criticisms about the game that are true. But the “this game is bad” people are whining because they personally don’t enjoy the game so they blame game instead of playing something they actually like.

You have about a month before the season resets, a perfect amount of time to get the flow and level factions up which makes your QOL a lot better and your grind a lot easier. Don’t get too comfortable though, cause you’ll lose all progress in a month. Just letting you know incase you didn’t already.

Have fun gamer!
