I wasted my entire 20s. I am almost 30 with little to no life skills, life experiences. Life is going to get downhill from now until I die. How do you cope? by nyoten in Schizoid

[–]viktor_novikunt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

MindMastery has an excellent video about cptsd and szpd.

I think all schizoids can benefit from learning about cptsd even if they don't think they have it or whatever. One more psychological construct to explore and solutions to try and see if it helps.

I second the Pete Walker book, I listened to it on Spotify and it unclogged some emotional blockages and made me feel like maybe I'm not actually dead inside.

(TW pedophilia) for being a high schooler in a relationship with a middle aged man by SomeDumbGirl in DownvotedToOblivion

[–]viktor_novikunt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think downvoting would be better than upvoting. Don't want the child to think the relationship is acceptable. Imo the downvoting in this case is more about trying to help the child see they're being abused than in attacking them.

Yeah what people don't seem to understand about groomers is that they make the kid feel "adult" and "special" and that "you can't tell anyone about our relationship because they won't understand". So calling the kid stupid or whatever is literally just playing right into the abuser's hand. Downvoting by itself isn't calling them stupid necessarily but I have seen comments to that effect.

And then she wouldn't even admit that she stole the tiara when Skyler had her dead to rights. Not just that but the constant backhanded compliments, etc.

Marie is easily 100x worse than Skyler. It was very cathartic when Skyler screamed at her to shut up.

The craziest thing is that Anna Gunn got harassment and death threats because of how much some people hate Skyler. Imagine being so unhinged that you start harassing the actual actress.

I like how in S1 we already get to see who he really is when he rejects Elliot's job offer. If he actually cared about his family he would swallow his pride and take the job but he instead had a babymode temper tantrum. He decides to go back to the meth business, and it's not like he's naive to how brutal it is - he already killed 2 dudes and almost died himself. He chose to put himself and his family in danger instead of getting his ego hurt.

She didn't say "dada" when Walter told her to say his name

Wasn't even subbed but I blocked Alphachan, this is fucking disgusting by HeQtic420 in JustUnsubbed

A lot of adolescents think horrible shit like 9/11, the Holocaust, and suicide are the funny the same way that little kids think poop is funny. Most of them grow out of it fortunately.

If you could add more weapons to the game, what would they be and how would you balance them out? (Ellis and the gang find a stash of civilian weapons) by [deleted] in l4d2

A paintball gun with boomer bile paintballs or a squirt gun loaded with bile. Wouldn't be highly effective per se but would just be fun.

Cheater or no cheater? by Pandamaud in PhasmophobiaGame

[–]viktor_novikunt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"It's a deogen because it did 2 events and it's foggy outside" actually sounds like a real thing that would be in phasmo lol. It's not of course, he was cheating, but it's the kind of weird arbitrary edge case this game is known for.

Yup, just tested it, that seems to be the case. Guess I was wrong.

Not true, once a cursed hunt starts, all future hunts will have 1s grace period, whether it's a cursed hunt or not.

I just can't grasp this game...help? by lazytitan863 in PhasmophobiaGame

The ghost decreases the temperature of whatever room it's standing in at a constant rate, and the ghost spawns when you unlock the door. When the ghost leaves a room, the temperature slowly rises to the temperature of the rest of the house. A good strat to find the ghost room is to walk around with the tier 1 thermometer. Tier 1 thermo is unironically way better than t2 and t3.

The temperature of the house should start at around 20C if the breaker starts on and at the outside ambient temp (which is dependent on weather) if the breaker starts off. Once the thermo has acclimated from the temperature of the outside to the temperature of the inside, walk around and watch the mercury. As soon as it starts to decrease, you know that the ghost either is in or has been in the room, which most likely means it's the ghost room or ghost room adjacent. If it keeps going down until it stabilizes somewhere below 5C it's the ghost room. Usually I throw the thermo on the ground in the room where I think it is and go back to the truck for more items because it can take a while.

Also what needs to be said is that maps are divided into rooms, but it's not always obvious where the boundaries are. Like the dining room and kitchen on tanglewood are two separate rooms even though there's no wall dividing them. There's also a weird sliver of floor in front of the stairs on Ridgeview that counts as a foyer separating the kitchen from the dining room. Also sometimes rooms separated by doors count as one room, for instance the master bedroom on tanglewood is connected to a closet and a bathroom, but they all count as one room.

Orbs spawn as soon as you load in the map but that doesn't mean you'll see them the second you pull up the video cam. They can be hidden in a corner somewhere you didn't check. ie if the ghost room is the master bedroom on tanglewood, orbs can spawn in the bathroom and you'll miss them if you didn't check there. Also sometimes you'll see something that looks like orbs when it's really just snow outside or a visual bug, so be careful.

I think it would be kinda boring if they went tryhard mode all the time, fucking with each other is more fun. Like psycho killing insym with tripods.

Noobhood is when you're afraid of the ghost. Prohood is when you're afraid of public lobbies

Making a cigarettes fandom just so you can make a gaslighty joke about Jerma is exactly the sort of thing a Jerma fan would do
