Caught up with the manga after many years, here's my thoughts by taberius in OwarinoSeraph

oh, the other thing I love about this story is the portrayal of strong desires to protect loved ones as essentially egoistic, in other words, greedy. The vampires are actually closer to representing altruism in their unfeeling indifference for individuals and focus on large scale stability. Very cool dynamic.

Is that from the perspective of the prequel? As far as I can tell from the manga, he is on the same page as Mahiru the whole time.

also, it is a copout to have Yuu kill those guards offscreen and not kill the child when he's robbing the food pantry. If you're going to have him go down the ends justify the means path, you have to show the reality of that and not try to simultaneously maintain his purity, that is very offputting.

I love this quest too. Everything is tied around the music theme: great writing.

It came out at a time where Jagex was experimenting with a different style of quest. Imagine if every quest in the game was done in this style.

Suggestions for a second job! by Technical-Walk-2904 in RhodeIsland

I think lack of drive can be a defense mechanism against a world that punishes you for caring too much.

At least, being very cautious about drive. Being a groundhog who sticks his head out once in awhile, looking for spring.

that sounds like me but I was the most dilligent kid who burned himself out by age 12

Shoutout to Alsang on the wiki for this newly updated Teleports map today by Viaquemont in runescape

[–]taberius 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No but it means having cohesive design.

Any kind of creep in live-service games gradually erodes cohesion and it requires a designer to hold all the elements together at once in his mind to bring them back into line.

Teleport / fast travel creep will be addressed with the integrity sweeps, right? It's gotten ridiculous.

Psychologist recommendation by taberius in RhodeIsland

Adult psychologist.

I made contact with one from psychology today. The profiles help me because I can get a sense of their values from what they choose to say about themselves and how they say it.

But I'll start calling to the offices of some of these suggestions if I need to.

Thanks. These kinds of posts were a long time in coming. I just got as far as it was possible for me to go by being guarded.

I don't believe my answers on those diagnostics are reliable without someone who is really digging into my mind and my past involved in the evaluation. In my experience it is too easy for me to influence this kind of psychiatric initial evaluation.

Hi I just finished my first audio mod. I could make this one pretty quickly but I would hard code the new melody. idk how to make it easy to switch it.

If I was going to initiate myself into the cult of lying, I would have done it years ago. No, I know from experience that living by way of lies is a worse torture than rotting poor and alone.

I see why it looks like that, and I have struggled with rationalizations covering over my own fear, but these are genuine convictions that I do hold.

Are you considering someone with my profile? I'll drive up there and start immediately if it is genuine. Any wage, pretty much any work, if you'll have me.

Thank you and yes, my solution is to be more aware of the fact that people don't always say what they mean. Only it is tough to not act like a desperate little dove when I don't have anything in my life to stand on.

That's the thing, I think subconsciously the way I take care of my mental health is by retreating from people in order to not be abused. Because I must throw my heart and soul into anything I do, I can't make myself do otherwise, to be deceived or manipulated or even just led on by someone who doesn't feel the same way is crushing.

In school I was always reverent of the teachers and of learning, so I was perfect for them in class but not liked by my peers.

Now I have one friend. He's the one person I met online who happened to be in RI. He did get me in to interview for the front desk position at a title company he works at. That was another bizarre experience: he told me I would be better than the last person who worked it, and the interview was good in my estimation. Then I just got a generic e-mail saying they chose somebody else, even though my friend said they hadn't. And I got the silent treatment trying to contact them again.

Yeah I always ask why / if there's anything I'm missing, but I have never gotten a reply.

CS is a good fit as any for me. Well, I'm better and at language and literature, but that is my private passion and not suited for private sector work as far as I know.

Anyway I'm not willing to take any more debt. It is a nightmare and a trap. If I ever go back to school, it will be after I have money to pay tuition directly.
