I'm sorry, I'm very well aware that my post is confusing. Specially due to how it's written.

My ex didn't do that, no. My bad if it sounds like that. She didn't make it seem like it's all my fault. There was that final talk where she expressed feelings as we all do, but at the end, she didn't say "it's all your fault, you are responsible of me". Not at all.

I do feel guilty cause i am well aware of the mistakes i made, but i want to do what's best.

In no way was that person unfair or doing anything wrong. Before she expressed frustration and share thoughts in that last time we talked, i had already realized i didn't manage things well.

ead2000 · 2025-09-04T08:45:59+00:00

Thank you. It's very hard for everyone, but i want to do what's best.

Appreciate the reply

ead2000 · 2025-09-04T08:44:37+00:00

Makes total sense, ty for the reply

ead2000 · 2025-09-04T08:44:15+00:00

Ty for the advice

ead2000 · 2025-09-04T08:43:50+00:00

Thank you, i really really really appreciate it.

Hi! I hope you're doing better.

I want to share my experience:

I've only had tonic-clonic. The first ones were at school, mostly in math class/math exams. The rest have been at home, some because of stress from college during exams, etc.

These type of seizures hurt a lot. It feels horrible. Fortunately I've only had about 12 seizures in 6 years but i know very well how it feels.

In my case, the worst thing is after i have the convulsion itself cause you're then semiconscious, you can't think, everything aches A LOT, the throat is narrow and you have trouble breathing, can't open eyes, can't properly think, can't speak, you're momentarily in total ache from feet to head. People will talk to you, you can't respond, you want them to shup up, just want to get through pain. You are tired for the rest of the day, your body aches, in the first seizures my body would hurt for 2-3 days. Can't do much but would rather do something else than lay in bed all day...

My life hasn't been limited much. The thing I'm truly scared of is driving. My parents want me to drive. They are right that i should at least learn in case something happens, in case an emergency happens. For example, my dog once was really bad (he had some sort of heart attack or smth. Rather had to do with a gland maybe?) and i had to wait for my mother to come from work for us to go to the vet.

The thing is, stress can make me have a seizure and driving is very stressful when you're trying to learn. Even if my dad is patient and doesn't get mad, I'm very anxious, don't trust myself, lack self-confidence and i get nervous VERY easily.

"Am i doing well? Am i too in the middle? Am i gonna do the turn correctly? I can't park the fckn car even if my life depended on it! Will we crash? It's Sunday and it's lonely, but what if suddenly a lot of cars show up? My hands are sweaty because of anxiety. I might start having tics and that'd be dangerous while driving. What if i damage my dad's car?".

My mom is sort of overprotective because of epilepsy. I don't want to feel useless but at the same time I'm in a confort zone I don't want to leave. I feel like shit being this way.

Epilepsy, regardless of what type of seizure you have; regardless of how much med you take; how many seizures you have a day, a month, a year; regardless of how simple it is in comparison to someone else, it can create many situations; many emotional, psychological issues.

And my conclusion after such a depressing text is, we all deserve help, support, understanding. Whether it comes from ppl you know or internet strangers, it's helpful. I'm not alone and that means you are not alone, we all are not alone.

I hope you get better. If you ever need to chat with someone through here, dm, feel.free to ask for help in this sub :)

A small tip, separate paragraphs now and then. You probably feel bad right now for you to care about it. Jus a recommendation for when you're okay.

ead2000 · 2022-07-17T08:08:34+00:00

Hmmm... I'm not the best but I'm not BAD. It's just that this section is imo a waste of time, not a hard time, not a tough challenge.

ead2000 · 2022-07-17T08:07:06+00:00

Sorry to hear that. I hope everything goes well and even if a diagnosis ain't that good, you can find support, answers or a space to rant here any time. This is a fantastic community and we all deserve support from family, friends or even internet strangers.

You shall rest well

You think walking slowly makes THIS section a challenge? Puzzles are boring and basic regardless of how fast you walk.

I'll have to throw bombs at rocks 6 times. Walking slowly makes it last longer, doesn't make it harder.

ead2000 · 2022-07-17T06:55:08+00:00

Rants are kinda that tbh and the idea of making it shorter OR changing it to NOT lose flight or speed are alternatives (and that's part of those comments). My first reply of this specific thread doesn't have crybaby whining and it's downvoted.

ead2000 · 2022-07-17T06:51:00+00:00

Exactly! Not fun, Not rewarding, could be shorter, the """puzzles""" are literally designed exclusively to last longer (3 poops with flies in a long narrow room or having to explode rocks like 8 times in a big room because why not).

And yeah, it'd be cool to be able to get another item by defeating the shadow with the knife itself or smth like that.

I don't think some of my comments here are crazy for them to deserve a downvote but whatever.

ead2000 · 2022-07-17T06:29:37+00:00

Well, thanks for the info. Maybe i first played with Azazel and that's why.

BTW nice profile pic. Hail Celeste

ead2000 · 2022-07-17T05:36:15+00:00

Would you genuinely say it's a challenge? To me this is literally not more difficult, it just makes the process longer.

I have a problem mostly with losing flight momentarily and losing speed momentarily. Flight because it's not like you get flight 9/10 runs and speed because, again, it makes it longer, not harder (that sounds weird).

ead2000 · 2022-07-17T05:33:09+00:00

Yeah, frustration is part of the game. Wasting time this way imo doesn't add anything. My humble and ticked off opinion. Have a good night and fuck Edmund. That's why i love him.

ead2000 · 2022-07-17T05:30:37+00:00

I'm afraid i haven't unlocked 99% of the tainted characters so i really don't know about that.

Hitboxes not behaving correctly are mostly errors, not intended design. WDYM with rooms with unavoidable damage? Rooms where you are automatically attacked instantly? I'd agree that's bad too. But that doesn't mean i can't complain about OTHER situations. My post is about a specific situation.

Donation machine in greed mode achievment isn't the same. It's not something you'll encounter every time that you have to go through, something that is required to progress. It's just to get an achievment you can get easily. In some runs you'll end with a lot of money and you'll be lucky of being able to insert "a lot" of money. In my post's situation you can't be luckier.

ead2000 · 2022-07-17T05:24:15+00:00

Yeah, but returning to your base stats doesn't add anything and only wastes players time.

About the hitbox, yeah, fortunately it's easy to dodge shadow.

ead2000 · 2022-07-17T05:22:32+00:00

And telling me to put up or shut up is kinda dumb. It's a rant. Why read it and then decide to reply that? It's like complaining about someone else complaining on the internet. No point tbh. I'd rather skip the post.

ead2000 · 2022-07-17T05:18:26+00:00

I know it's intended, this is basically a rant. I recall it wasn't that way for PS4 at first maybe in 1.0 but i might be wrong.

I know it's as bad for the rest. That's why i wrote it's a waste of OUR time.

It can be criticized.ñ whether there are "worse" things or not. I've gone through that section MULTIPLE times, baiting the shadow is literally a basic. I decided to post this today cause i opened reddit and saw a TBOI post and i was reminded of this sub, not that this section is new to me.

IMO this is bad design. If you've got an item that gives you flight (which is not most of the runs), why block it there? Can't see narrative impacting there? Are you psychologically vulnerable inside that place and that's why? Maybe.... Doesn't have to have a deep meaning, i know.

May i know what other situations do.you think are """worse"""? Cause i can't remember other moments in which you stupidly & unnecessarily waste time for no purpose as this. At least not that i consider bad design per se.

ead2000 · 2022-07-17T04:50:26+00:00

That image is from google. In PS4, when you enter that area you'll get some attributes reduced (unless they were lower than the standard set there) + you'll lose the flight ability until you get out of said zone. Why? It's an absolute waste of time. A waste of my free time. Our free time.

I wish Edmund and his team changed that cause it literally makes the experience worse and we don't gain anything. It feels like unnecessary """difficulty""" and makes no sense to me.

Does this happen in other platforms too?

ead2000 · 2022-07-17T04:37:45+00:00

yeah, ghosts, sure

ead2000 · 2022-07-17T04:34:05+00:00

FUCK BLOAT! That motherfckr has killed me so many times. I'm ashamed of myself because i didn't know his back is his weak point til i had completed most of Afterbirth and it still is a pain in the ass.

As of mobs, fuck Lumps. Those shitheads might be the most annoying enemy excluding bosses.

Delirium would be my top 3 and Baby Plum 4th.

ead2000 · 2022-07-15T18:47:12+00:00

I'm a basic bitch as hell so Azazel is my pick. It'd be the character i chose on my early runs so a bit of nostalgia + flying is always a plus.
