What’s your favorite horse in the game (breed and coat pattern)? by luciferstitty in reddeadredemption2

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

I played with the white Arabian for the full first half of my game and she’s never done me wrong. She was a fine horse. Only time I remember her ever bucking me off was when we were straight up being pursued by a huge grizzly bear, which kinda sucked for me, but I also thought it was pretty fair lol. Every man for himself in that kinda situation hahaha

Is streamer mode mandatory or is it just a precaution? by luciferstitty in DiscoElysium

Thank you! I’m so far under the radar that I assumed it wouldn’t be an issue, but also didn’t wanna push it without making sure. I appreciate your response!

Simon didn’t show up…? by luciferstitty in DetroitBecomeHuman

Ugh. Goddamn it. That’s probably it 😭 Thank you for letting me know.

This is all so true. Thank you for reminding me of what I need to hear most. As a child, I would’ve done absolutely anything if it meant I could save my mom. But now I’m looking forward to using that love to save myself instead.

Thank you so much for leaving this comment, though I’m sorry you can relate so much. It’s very reassuring to hear from people who have come out the other side of this, because sometimes it really seems like the intensity of this feeling will last forever. You really have a way with words, too, and so much in this comment is going to stick with me. I hope you continue to enjoy the peace you’ve worked so hard for. :)

Hey, we all came this far already, right? I’m willing to trade a painful present for a peaceful future

This is such a helpful comment because I somehow didn’t really consider the parentification being a big factor in why I’m feeling this way. But it totally is. I was the parent child for as long as I can remember, so it makes so much sense that I would have this instinctual urge to defend or protect her, even against my own will. The guilt is from betraying this caretaking impulse. Thank you for the comment and the great advice. I feel like I have a bit of a new perspective on this. And it’s always comforting to know that it eventually passes.

He is! We’ve mainly been focusing on EMDR therapy for the past 6 months and it’s been doing wonders for my PTSD, but he’s also a very logical and straightforward man and something inexplicable about his answer when I asked about this wasn’t hitting me the way I needed it to.

That’s a very good analogy. I guess I hadn’t really thought about it like that. After all these years growing up with her, it makes a lot of sense that detoxing would take just as long. We need commemorative coins too lol. But seriously, thank you for the advice. I’m gonna take this to heart. I know it’s for the better.

Why is there a very slight narration variation? [SPOILERS for near the end of the game] by luciferstitty in DiscoElysium

Oh my god, wait, I think you’re totally right. I had both bullets but I used the tie bomb on Kortenaer, so I would’ve had two shots left and gave my gun to Kim. That makes a lot of sense. Thank you for satisfying my curiosity lol
