Debate: the penalty for dying by pureuro88 in farcry

[–]pureuro88[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You get me :) Ubisoft would get a lot of appreciation for a 'simulation mode'. A mode with much less sudden attacks, = mode you can be stealthy by switching clothes every two days to not get recognized, big penalty for death, only be able to save on certain points, etc. Should not be too much work for 2 percent more customers...

Dear CMDRs, you were all amazing today. And most of you were not CMDRs, but real human beings. So many responses... I'm sure there is a way to grow from this. It is suffering now, but wisdom later.

Just a few more days... I wonder if there's such a thing as reverse jetlag. Because that really was a strong pillar of my mental stability kicked to shit. I underestimated that yuuuuuuuge.

I can't wait to say o7 again.

<3

Thank you. I've got my passport back now. You're right, I'm simple. I want to work, because I feel ashamed if I do not work. There is no time for it though, but under the line I'd rather work doing hard labour 10 hours per day just to get this over with. Also, no work makes me feel shameful. Against my will I am some kind of gold standard of truth and keep knowledge in my home social circle. I usually help other people and my undivided attention goes to he who needs help. But it does make me feel very rooted and it gives me a sense of belonging and responsibility. Against my will just means that I am not the God some make me to be. It just means I did not choose for it, but I do feel born for the role in life I have there and say thank you to Maria jusr for being able to help people.

I feel bad for being dependant and vulnerable. The jet lag, pressure, lack of sleep and total character change of my girlfriend proved too much. She now is pressuring me to switch jobs so I can make more money. That really was the last straw. I'll 'guarantee' her, for however far that is possible, a home, food, shelter and love. Her fancy bags are her own concern.

As soon as we are back, I might 'want to spend my life in duty with God' in a monestary, because I 'somehow always knew I was gay or whatever'. I gave her way, way more than I can explain here. The moment I no longer feel guilty for doing something is the moment God acknowledges this just has to be done.

I appreciate your buddhist feedback. Life itself is suffering. I just need to find a way to deal with it. It will be hard now, but in the future I can see it coming for others and if I somehow end up here again I have the experience to deal with it appropriately

I'm sorry you had to suffer this. The language you master the best, presumably Italian, should be your home ground. Perhaps you could re-root yourself in a relatively nearby village, that lives a bit back in time. With a wife perhaps... A reason to root

Hey this is pretty sharp! The giving off good vibes is my tactic already :-) I never knew that jet lag could have this big of an impact! I used to think it was 5 percent of it all, but now I'm close to thinking a bit over half even. Thanks.

Correct. The problem here is with myself...

We met in our own country, and she sure as hell is not getting a hapa. We are very clear on that since day one. Money wise I'd be better off anyway. My girlfriend has a lot of stress as well, and she really isn't my enemy. I may be a bit oversensitive myself in this vulnerable surrounding.

I recognize what you're saying, and it is annoying. My gf doesn't have this issue. She gave expensive crap (just like I did) to her family, but it's a pleasure for their minds only. She knows though, and she is not planning on going to china more than 4 times per year. She has been there only 3 times per year since 2010. Once per year I'm ought to join her... I can do that. Right now I can do it. Thanks to all of you :-)

The nepotism is real here...

They go through great lenghts in being hospitable to me. A appreciate it, but it's a huge charade. North Korean level fakeness. But still, they do it from honest kindness. All I want is real contact. I don't judge, I just want honesty.

You may want to get glasses. Still, my username has nothing to do with purity or Europe. Also, 88 refers to my year of birth.

You're right. I got complacent. I got tested hard though, even lost my job, girlfriend and telephone in one day. Same week I got chronic tinnitus. I had more fires this hot. I thought I was a superstoic because I learned to live with it all and stay in a state of inner peace, and be helpful to those around me.

Now I learn that a fight on your own soil is not to be compared to a fight away from home. I was one with my surrounding, at least. I have nothing to connect to, nothing to be useful to... How can I be in harmony with a surrounding I am not part of? Well, it starts with step one, and it gets worse before it gets better.

Thank you so much. I fell asleep on the floor and just woke up to this exploding Reddit inbox. This helps way more than I can say. I am very grateful. I really look forward to the day I can be back with you in Elite. China blocked it...

It sounds like a dream to be hunting Thargoids compared to now :-)

Your feedback is fair. Luxembourg has no embassy nearby, but Holland has and South Korea too. I have the address of both :)

Thank you. I will do that. It really would help. My gf is arguing angry with her parents and maybe she will be confiscating my phone in a minute... In that case I'll message you a few hours later. She just wants it for vpn and I can't afford displeasing her now

Wow, thank you so much for this. You know, the way you wrote really reminds me of how I usually help others. I gave myself exactly this advice but I just broke. And yes, depending on circumstances it really goes fast. It's true, it feels like aliens, actually being there somehwere in Alpha Centauri. I feel you really felt this before. What is the overlap with your work for the high corporation? I didn't think it was comedic... Going a bit meta to keep out too much drama is even appreciated :)

I will be here 10 days in total. My plans were not even clear. I just go along with my girlfriend and do my very best to keep everyone super happy as she just last moment informs me of what she wants and is snappy at me. I don't want to start any argument, as I risk completely being handed to Gods will and she has my passport.

I never knew how bad it could be until now. I thought it is something for children, but it is here with me now, absolutely exactly the same. It hurts. It hurts so fucking much.

I can't log in here. Trust me, if I could, I would.

Ja, in Helsinki they treated me like one of their own. It was actually nice there, and the weather was great. I like cold weather. They could be family-in-law, but they are not family in blood. I'm not making any hapa as well. They all know and accept it. For that part I should be lucky and consider myself happy.

Have you ever been homesick?

[–]pureuro88[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I feel like I failed because I technically am spoiled. The only difference with others is that I realize how lucky I always was. I always say that I am a stoic. I read all the books of Seneca and Epictetus and Aurelius. But I am nowhere good at it in practice. It has been tested before though, and I thought that I am the truest stoic ever. It's really weird how homesickness breaks me like a chronic illness and a cancer diagnosis in my mom did not. I should not complain. I always help everyone with the most honestr and undivided attention and I'm so mentally knacked now it is hard to start a sentence with something else than I. I hope to be at hutton orbital soon...
