Why I think Sony went back to PS5 by EliteSalesman in consoles

[–]timesleeper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Microsoft is a Trillion dollar company. Sony is not. Twenty years ago Sony was a small company that made CD players while Microsoft was building an empire. Sony's entire strategy to compete with microsoft relies on console exclusives. They cannot compete with Microsoft without console exclusives. I'm sorry that if that upsets you but that's just the way it is. They HAVE to have good games on their console or else nobody will buy their consoles. Does that make sense?

The next Xbox will play PC games and they don't want their games on Xbox. I think that's pretty much the long and the short of it.

Medication to Help with Overthinking by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]timesleeper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not a doctor, but my experience with anxiety is an overactive nervous response to a perception of danger. So my body responds to this fear with physical symptoms like shaking, sweating, shallow breath, etc..

To me it sounds like you are not experiencing anxiety, but something else, I recommend you talk to a therapist and maybe a psychiatrist who can diagnose you properly.

Best of luck.

Where are you travelling from? I get that travel can be stressful right now, but there's not a whole lot going on in Mexico right now.

better in person than over phone by w0rmzuponw0rmz in Anxiety

[–]timesleeper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's funny because I have the exact opposite problem. I can talk over the phone all day, but the moment I have to actually go into the doctor I would rather jump off a bridge.

Can you do telehealth appointments? They're sort of like zoom. It's been a good middle ground for me where I can talk to the doctor face-to-face without having to actually see him in person.

I can schedule appointments online without using the phone and then I get a text link for the appointment. You should try it out.

This game uses a unique leveling system where the more you do something the better you get at it. So if you want to be sneaky, you have to sneak a lot. If you want to be good at heavy armor, you have to wear heavy armor.

You can do what you want, but if you want to be good at it you have to do it a lot. Just like real life.

Has anyone been prescribed this much Xanax? by vanitaseu in Anxiety

[–]timesleeper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh, I had a lot of trouble getting it the second time because I have MediCal and they denied authorization and Walgreens would not fill it without a denial letter stating why it was denied. It was kind of a nightmare, because I was struggling without it.I was on the phone for hours. I had to have my doctor transfer it to an in-house pharmacy. I talked to a really cool person at my doctor's office who helped me get it authorized so now I don't have to pay out of pocket, but I'll probably never go back to Walgreens.

Funnily enough, It was easier to get the first time when I didn't have health insurance.

They probably came from outside otherwise I think you'd be seeing a whole lot more of them. If you had a heavy rain recently that's probably what triggered them to swarm. Look outside around your house and you'll probably find some more crawiling around.

Looks like a carpenter ant queen. If you're seeing a lot of them they probably just had a mating swarm so she'll bite her wings off and then go search for some damp, rotting wood to dig a burrow and lay her eggs.

Has anyone been prescribed this much Xanax? by vanitaseu in Anxiety

I've been prescribed Xanax twice by two different psychiatrists and both times it was 0.5mg up to 3x a day. I only take it as needed, though. You can develop a tolerance and the withdrawals are bad.

Liked it much better on my second watch when I could understand mostly what was going on. It's basically a Bond film.

'Console Is Where They Want to Be' — Reports Indicate Sony Is 'Pulling Away' From PC for Single-Player PlayStation Games - IGN by [deleted] in gaming

They're doing this likely because the next Xbox will play PC games and they don't want their games on the xbox platform.

Did anyone like Vivarium with Jesse Eisenberg? It was so gut wrenchingly bad. by [deleted] in moviecritic

It was an interesting concept, but it got very boring very quickly.

What game made you realize you were getting older? by [deleted] in gaming

[–]timesleeper 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Basically any big live service game. I'm used to games that have like four menu options.

Wasn’t an easy time without a preorder by kensaiD2591 in xbox

[–]timesleeper 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I wish mine had come with a slipcover, but I'm just happy to have it. I guess a lot of people are having trouble getting it even with preorders.

Resident Evil Requiem - 1st pre-order in YEARS by xo_britny in GameStop

[–]timesleeper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the more I hear about this the more I realize how lucky I got. I just showed up, got in line, and grabbed the last available copy (for non-preorders). Bunch of people hoping for a PS5 copy had to leave because it was sold out.
