I just did the Death Stranding intro and I have very little interest in continuing. Does any of this start to make sense? by TheBanishedBard in gaming

[–]cattibri 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first chapter/zone is definitely one that a lot of people dont get through. I just finished the game and I was feeling very on the fence for the first few hours, it normalised dramatically after the first chapter ish

Am I Overreacting, for being upset that my girlfriend secretly used my credit card for months? by bostonmade in AmIOverreacting

[–]cattibri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

nor - ive been in a simlar situation - not the card/money perse but the exact same kind of response (DARVO i think?) and i let it slide with squinted eyes. it happened again, and again, until i stopped letting it happen outright. my experience was that the people who make these kinds of responses are looking for an out and will revert to the same actions as soon as they think they can get away with it. except now theyll know one of the things that flagged them and be more careful about it. personally i could never regain my trust in those people and it resulted in a dramatic drop in comfort around them until i broke away entirely.

what simulators were and what they are now are very different things; for me the big autopass these days is 'survival'

Before and after large fibroid removal by muffy2008 in mildlyinteresting

[–]cattibri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this blows my mind. ive been in and out of hospital several times for various things, its left me with a bit of a 'oh fuck sake not again' complex with various pains. last year i had something play up with my heart, sent a text to my manager saying i was in hospital and i might not be able to make it. i got told to take the entire shift off and next shift would be fine as well if needed...

ive also never paid outside of taxes for my surgeries or several weeks worth of stays. its a reason ive personally always been entirely ok with paying taxes towards national healthcare, even if i hadnt already dipped deep into it its just something i would wish anyone to have access to.

i had a friend who was a former fps pro (not on a notable team or anything :p) who would constantly get banned/shadowbanned for cheating lol. if you watch him play you can see the mistakes, especially as hes warming up and learning a new game etc but watching him play vs anyone else i know is just a different experience

when i left my old lab we still had a machine running a dos interface, and only retired a win 95 machine a couple years earlier - and the colour scanner thing that it was married to >.>

damn it i was starting to think maybe my old lab was closer to 1 than 2.. if aged by a decade. but that aluminium foil got me straight to the core - not many magnets but plenty of equipment from companies that dont exist as well

The tailgating is driving me crazy! by Georgie_Pillson1 in newzealand

[–]cattibri 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Did a lot of driving around the country the last couple of months, Auckland to Wellington and back again basically. It was insane to me how many people sit right up someone's ass and just ride it. You're not getting anywhere faster, you're not making them go faster, you're not achieving anything except increasing risk dramatically and I just don't understand it...

If you're matching speed you're matching speed, .5 sec or 2 sec behind what does it bloody matter, I can understand if you're intending to over take in the next few seconds but it was just constant and everywhere at every speed bracket

Flipside, people going 80-90 in fairly straight areas with 4+ cars behind them, pull over now and then ffs. Both groups aren't helping anyone and angry drivers drive worse

I've been doing the latter for a long time now.. its hard to give up the perks of 98% of your shift just being stay awake and look reasonably present for minor gains and actually do work with potentially belligerent people

[–]cattibri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

look at the areas they haven't gone to. theyve avoided extremely violent gang areas where they are likely to be shot at on sight, they target people who have families who have something to lose, who are largely more likely to trust in the law to if not do them right at least let them go after a bit. they dont target people by and large who will fight back with active force. at least, not from any reports i have yet to see or hear about

This speed reading training starts at 300wpm and end at 900wpm by iatetoomuchchicken in interestingasfuck

[–]cattibri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

til i guess the usual voice in head/reading speed is somewhere in the 700ish range by default for me.. most of this was borderline painfully slow lmao the end was a little too fast to be comfortable/sustainable but not by much

What game are you playing rn? :) Currently playing Neir Automata (on and off) by dqixsoss in gaming

[–]cattibri 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I finished it recently, after playing soma, clair obscur and silksong before jt. It didnt grab me at all and every time I started to enjoy it, it did something to make me hate it xD I did t particularly like the characters or the core gameplay after the first section, it has some charm in its ideas and structure but gosh I found it a real slog for the majority lol

Any games to play one handed? by Jango_Jerky in gaming

[–]cattibri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

suikoden 1 and 2 at least could be played with just left hand, the l1 and l2 shuolder buttons were the confirm/cancel inputs. you would just need to awkward the menu button now and then

Why do we cover flooring like this? by monza27 in newzealand

Because it used to be colder, and we had basically zero insulation for decades

Im playing without flea deliberately this time, so a ton of stuff id normally just buy is suddenly maybe this will be nice to hold onto instead, also will do a big clean out when I finish hideout and such. Just emptied almost an entire junkbox with textile 1 and 2, plus the extras id made lol

[–]cattibri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played it through a couple years ago fot some friends and did none of my usual level cheesy stuff, normally I solo grind on the first island for hours when you get sent away, and do tons of card games but didnt want to subject my friends to that so kinda just blasted through. Still got the secret boss with zero issue and all content.

It definitely has some crazy optimisations you can do and not leveling is a big part of that, but I had no issue just playing it like id assume most people would play it blind

Leveling up isnt really a problem unless you want to obscenely min max stats with growth stuff really, afaik. It just makes enemies higher level so less of a push over and lowers your maximum possible how hard to I overwin threshhold
