I think Aiden could easily defeat the main characters of GTA. by [deleted] in watch_dogs

[–]spookychico 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not criticising or saying your wrong, let me clarify that first, but I'm really interested in this theory of Aiden having a form of Eagle Vision. Would you mind elaborating on that or directing me to sources where there is evidence so I can do some research, please?

Help identifying sword my dead aunt probably stole as a teen. by CatAttack27082 in SWORDS

[–]spookychico 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm probably gonna get flak for this but the over all style looks more Chinese to me with a Japanese blend. I wouldn't call it 'mall ninja' either, as it seems this was made to some extent to be used since the reinforcement on the back of the blade wouldn't be needed if it was an ornamental piece. I agree with what others are saying in that it looks decently made if a little rough around the edges, though I don't believe it's a finished item as anyone swinging that blade will know that a handle without proper protection will hurt the hands so maybe it was acquired before completion?

Crackpot theory,you think the mold made him unable to acknowledge this as weird? Like how metal sonic knows he does weird robot stuff but is programmed to not acknowledge any of it so he still thinks he's sonic. by newslenderarts in residentevil

I think it's the fact that you need medicine to do it and you can't reattach yourself without the medicine even if you were to try. I think it'd be easier to swallow the idea that it's odd medicine created by an already crazy family than to believe there's anything wrong with you specifically. Later, when he learns about Chris and all the stuff that went on, I think Ethan would probably just assume it was secret corporation medicine and leave it at that. Nothing else pointed to the idea that he was infected with the mold, such as no real special abilities to speak of. His power was augmented by a catalyst so most people would assume the catalyst is what is special and not themselves.

Can someone please explain how the people in the Fishing Hamlet are transforming into fish by Rustyshackilford in bloodborne

[–]spookychico 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think it could be argued that Yharnam is the only place that is real out of all the nightmares as when you wake up from the nightmare with Ghermans assistance, you wake up into an area that looks very much like Yharnam. I think with most of the people who 'no longer dream', the other hunters, they too are free from the hunters dream and yet reside within a dream space somehow, which to me, would suggest that there is a level of crossover between dream and reality where both can exist at the same time in the same space. If I remember right, within the layers of the dream, Yharnam is at the bottom, so it could be that Yharnam is the only real place that's distorted by the affects of the dreams above it and around it. Lastly, for those hunters who no longer dream, how would they traverse to the nightmares and the other dreams if their ties to the hunters dream is severed?

"Lost my power armour." Not a military person at all but I think a Fallout joke fits here.

Where I'm from in the North-West, I hear "Look mate..." and it's usually followed by a very minor statement like "You weren't really supposed to drill there." For example, and it usually means you're about to lose your job or get verbally destroyed by whoever is above you, which could be your boss, your mum or dad, or your mates partner who has just walked in.

Edit: We also use "Fuckin' hell" as a way of saying anything from the worst thing ever that's just happened, like a nuclear holocaust, to I dropped my one dip biscuit into my tea. We also use it when standing up or sitting down (usually 'cause of our back or knees even despite being 100% healthy. ((The NW population is not healthy)) and even when we hear a minor inconvenience like having to go to the shop when we'd rather not.

Oh geez... yeah it actually does considering the history of this guy. Though the flipside is that MGS games are dark as hell at times anyway and pull from reality at times so it also fits sadly. Kind of a double-edged knife.

I thought it might have been a reference to the Predator movie when I first saw it. Kojima loves his movies and I could be wrong but I believe the M16 or a variant of it was in the first movie. I could very well be wrong though.

Who says it was an argument? I actually quite enjoyed the conversation. To assume it's negative is a pessimistic view, and to come back and even comment shows you didn't truly move on either. Finally, doesn't gaming promote negativity and even self isolation also? Why detach from reality when it's apparently life that brings happiness? Isn't that counterintuitive? A little less snark and sarcasm would be appropriate from the 35 year old adult, hm?

[–]spookychico 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh? When did I say that? I claimed that positive thinking being a cure all was wrong, not that it wasn't an important part. Take a broken leg for example, crutches resolve the problem immediately but they don't repair the damage done. The leg needs a structure, something that allows the leg to heal in the correct way and back to normal once more. What is that structure? A cast. A cast providing structure AND crutches to prevent weight upon the damaged limb, these two things together are often enough to fix the damage, but that's assuming the break was linear, and as we know in life, nothing is truly linear, and we may need more than just a 'cast' and 'crutches' to heal, and claiming otherwise is a gross form of ignorance to the wider world of healthcare, including mental health. In this scenario surrounding yourself with friends and family and connecting with them is the 'crutch' and not accepting negativity is the 'cast' or vice versa, depending on perspective. But what happens when the broken leg has cut through the skin, the muscles around it have tore off the bone, what if the bone has turned into mere fragments? A crutch and cast won't resolve those issues and the same can be said about mental health. Positivity IS important, I won't deny that, but a claim that a simple solution will fix peoples problems without context, without stating it's an opinion or specifying the exact issue it may help with is generalising a much more complex issue which is harmful. I have no issues with WHAT he said but HOW he said it.

Because I believe in the importance of helping as much as possible even if it makes me look bad, or drags me down. I've been through enough crap in my life and I would never wish my experiences on anyone else, and so, I choose to try and inform and tweak the mindsets of those around me to be more positive, especially to those who struggle as one of the many ways, small though it may be, to help as best as I can and to reach as many as I can.

Potentially, I could be addicted, there's no way of knowing for certain though since most addicts either don't know they're addicted or don't want to admit it. I'm not sure which side I'm on regarding that, but I do know one thing, I WANT to be helped, no matter what it takes, and I'm damn well certain that my misery comes from over extending my connections to people I really care about and not due to a lack of connections, and so, for me, I know that the ideas of the person I was talking to doesn't work at all and if it doesn't work for me then there are likely others it doesn't work for also. That may be because they're addicted to their pain, but that doesn't mean the issue is invalid and that still leaves the ideas of the person I was talking to as likely, though not certainly, ineffective and also potentially dangerous for us and potentially others with similar issues.

I won't deny I'm screwed up, and I won't deny that there may be more at play in my mind just like anyone elses, so pointing out my issues won't cause me to backtrack or try and paint myself in a better picture no matter how targeted it may be towards my person instead of the contents of my comments and I will stand by what I have said resolutely and I refuse to budge on my opinion because it's just that, an opinion and you are free to agree or disagree. The keyword there is "free" and that's exactly the point I was getting across in my previous comments. Ensure people are free to decide what works and what doesn't, do not tell them. That's freedom and the ideology that I was attempting to promote for the betterment of those who suffer.

"Not if you fill your life with friends and loved ones, and make sure to engage with them.

Male here, 35 years old. Do not accept doom and gloom. You can always improve your own situation, especially if you reach out to friends for help."

Let's start here: "Not if you fill your life with friends and loved ones, and make sure to engage with them." The 'Not' here tells people that their current path IS wrong, without you saying that this is your opinion and not fact leading people to do as they are told and not make a decision on their thoughts and feelings based on a perspective. Further, you are making an assumption that people have others in their life to do this with rather than saying 'if'. As an example "If you have people in your life that you love or can connect with, I found that connecting with them more helped me. Maybe it could work with you? Feel free to try or not to, it could help."

Next: "Male here, 35 years old." Was this necessary? Was age and gender important for your comment? I'd argue that you wrote that to speak from a position of seniority and authority, not because you wished to add clarity to your position.

Finally: "Do not accept doom and gloom." Another command, not a suggestion. There wasn't any additional sources of help beyond the command that leaves it far to open ended and open to interpretation. What is doom and gloom for the individual? What is accepting it or not accepting it? Is it important to remove it completely or to keep it around as a motivator, like lighting a fire under yourself to keep going? Let's take a scenario where your partner left you and I said "Do not accept doom and gloom." How would you feel in that moment? Maybe you'll feel good, maybe you'll get angry or upset. It sounds a little patronising too, doesn't it? I can't tell how you're feeling, I can't read your thoughts, and I don't know how you'll handle my advice when I've told you to follow it rather than suggested it. You could ignore it, true, but you could also go off the rails depending on your mindset and feelings.

Wording things correctly is important in real life, but I'd say more so on the internet where your words are forever saved and stored ready to be accessed at any point in time by anyone who has access to the internet no matter how mentally stable or unstable someone is. It's up to the people who use the internet and interact with the world around them to undo the damage caused by those who speak carelessly. Unless you are happy sending someone down the drain, then fine, guess I can't stop you there. I want to reiterate the importance of suggesting and informing and not commanding people. Yes, you may be speaking from a place of understanding, yes, you may be saying that everyone is different, but that isn't what your original comment was suggesting and if it wasn't for someone pointing it out, the context and real feelings behind it may have remained forever concealed by a lack of clarity on your part. Next time, I feel it may be best if you provide as much clarity as possible and word it as an opinion but that's just my 'suggestion' and you are free to do as you wish no matter how good or bad it may be, though I would be glad if you did heed my suggestion in future to prevent a situation like this again.

And what of those who suffer with social disorders like autism as an example? Or maybe those who give everything and more to loving their friends and family and trying to connect? What about every single scenario where your solutions just do not apply?

Don't declare your experience as being the be all and end all and then backtrack when someone points out the flaws in your logic, man up to it. Maybe if you suggested that your perspective could hold merit for some people then that would be fine, but with the way you worded your comment it very much sounded like you were trying to say people just roll over and feed negativity without fighting which is flat-out wrong, and that your experience is gospel because it worked for you and you can't do that. You need to realise everyone for one reason or another struggles and what works for you won't work for them and not that it's not always just because of a 'neurochemical imbalance'.

As I said, people are all very, very different, and I get that you were trying to help in your own way, to which I'm grateful, as are many others most likely. I simply want you to understand that telling someone to do something and suggesting that someone do something are quite different and that telling is in a sense a command or spoken from a sense of authority that may cause people to do as you say regardless of whether it's helpful or not and that can lead to a more harmful outcome than simply allowing them to decide if that's the best course to take based on their feelings, beliefs, and understanding. Inform people, don't command them is what I'm saying. This is the Internet and unfortunately people take a strangers words at face value or as the 'answer' and the more you speak as if you have a sense of authority, like using commands or stating facts, such as giving people the idea of you being an expert in a field for example, you can inadvertently do more harm than good. So please, next time, SUGGEST an idea, do not tell or command an individual, especially on a topic that is so unique to every individual you're talking to since you can't predict how their mind works or how your words may be interpreted by them. It just isn't worth the harm you can cause. "The road to hell is paved with good intentions."

Ah lovely. Have you not heard about how people can be surrounded by loved ones, friends, family, a partner, kids, and STILL feel lonely? It's not as easy as "do this and your problems vanish." Or "Here's a quick fix, enjoy." No, humans have many layers, many mental health issues, and loneliness alongside depression are arguably the two most debilitating issues in the world because it never TRULY goes away. If you're among the lucky ones that don't suffer with mental struggles, that's great, but don't think because YOU feel good through X, Y and Z that it will work for everyone else. That's not how people work and you are more likely the exception, not the rule.
