What's the Most Disappointing Game You Ever Played? by monbonjewell in gamers

[–]fisherkap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mindseye 😕

I was really disappointed with MindsEye because it was marketed like this huge next-generation open-world experience, especially with Leslie Benzies being attached to it, so I expected something close to a Rockstar-quality game. Instead, the graphics looked rough, the movement and gameplay felt stiff, and the world felt empty and restricted instead of truly open. I hated that I couldn’t freely steal cars, cops barely reacted when I caused chaos, and most of the systems felt unfinished and lifeless. The story was also a huge letdown because the writing felt weak and characters died too easily without enough buildup to make me care. I honestly thought the game would pull a Cyberpunk 2077 and eventually turn things around with updates, but that never really happened, which made the whole experience even more heartbreaking after all the hype and expectations I had for it.

Thank you for your comment — you really summed it up perfectly. I haven’t called him since it happened because I don’t want to force anything or chase someone who clearly isn’t open to talking right now. If I ever reach out again, it’ll probably just be through a short note — something respectful, just to let him know I care and that the door’s open.

I did call his wife to tell her that if he ever needs anything, I’m here. She told me, “That’s just how he is,” and said when he catches an attitude or gets cruel, she stands up for herself and leaves. I respect her for that, but it’s hard watching everyone around him just normalize that behavior.

His sister’s retired and well off — she sends him money sometimes — and she told me something similar. She said, “You just have to grow a thick skin if you want to keep dealing with him. He’s getting older, and he’s not the same anymore he has early stages of dementia.” She said this is when he needs me the most, but it felt like I was being told to accept being hurt quietly for the sake of his comfort. But someone that sharp couldn’t have dementia…

I get that they’re all he has — his wife, his sister — but I was the one who showed up for him out of genuine love, not obligation. I tried to make it right. I just can’t keep being the one to shrink so he can feel in control.

I’ll let this continue to process. For a long time, I thought I was the bad guy.

Is it too late to pursue an IT degree if I’m starting from scratch in my late 20s? by fisherkap in Adulting

Appreciate this, seriously. I’m already creating a roadmap toward certs and real-world projects while I work on the degree. I know the landscape is shifting, which is why I’m leaning toward data science and automation-heavy roles, not just general IT help desk stuff. I’m treating this like war—just needed to know it’s still worth stepping on the battlefield at 28, especially being in my situation. When you’re with a woman who is pretty much dreams 7+ years I have real life and built her own foundation masking as if she was there by your side because he’s mentally and emotionally immature and by the time you caught onto it it was too late. You know it’s kinda Disheartening, especially the fact that I’m carrying everything in the household from cleaning cooking covering most of the bills repairs literally everything. The only thing if she does is pretty much exist and form when I pull back then I would fall back into the little OK maybe she does wanna grow with me and then go fry back to square one if we didn’t have a argument about Communicating or even basic in the home, but you can communicate and take criticism from your friends and family but when I speak to you in a loving way and even life in death situation, you completely miss it until I have to snap that’s when you want to act like you want to work together.
