Mate I just lived through a summer where family lost their houses, and our Prime Minister decided the best course of action was PR stunts where he forcefully shook the hands of people who were telling him to get hosed. My entire country was ON loving FIRE and the same old rhetoric got rolled out by a bunch of fuckwits in suits telling us to calm down. So maybe doom & gloom isn't the best option, but people should be getting loving pissed off about inaction and people getting elected that are only looking to line their back pockets. Have a me-me

yeah the bronze age collapse is a more useful model than literal extinction I sure as hell wouldn't have wanted to live through the bronze age collapse though A Sanders presidency would spend all its political capital on M4A which, while an intensely good thing, would make absolutely no progress on climate front. If you were a single issue climate change voter, there was no candidate for you this presidential election cheetah7071 fucked around with this message at 09:38 on Mar 4, 2020 |

imagine thinking people are too negative about their inevitable death and your rational counter is "you arent literally going to get melted by the sun just the rest of your life is likely going to be increasingly miserable"

In actual on topic news, I bought my mate Marvel Champions for his birthday. Gonna surprise him with it this weekend (And hopefully play the poo poo out of it) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lkCbv864g4c Looks cool. I'm sure the concept could get tiring after a bit, but it's a living-card-game with expansions and what-not. Should be worth a round or twenty.

Oh people absolutely should be getting pissed off. That's my entire point. Change can happen, but it has to be fought for tooth & nail.So what exactly does going "Bernie Sanders lost and now we will all die from climate change" accomplish? It just demotivates people and makes a lovely situation even worse. homeless snail posted:imagine thinking people are too negative about their inevitable death and your rational counter is "you arent literally going to get melted by the sun just the rest of your life is likely going to be increasingly miserable" You're literally one of the worst posters about being consistently negative and entirely unpleasant. You're also intentionally missing the point. So you can just shut up.

The 7th Guest posted:the problem for me is that i am highly empathetic and so it worms me up inside major when i think of how many people will be impacted. my life will likely become worse if trump gets a second term because LGBT people are fighting a battle against institutions that are locking and loading to go to war with us, but it will be even worse for people who live in areas that will become uninhabitable. so even if i feel like people failed us, what makes me feel worse is that we failed them I get all that. I'm in pretty much the same boat. Things are pretty lovely, and I'm not gonna pretend they won't get even worse. But there is still hope, and there is still a chance for a better future even within our lifetimes. So don't give into the narrative that we're all doomed and that every defeat is the final blow that crushes us forever. And try to vent in ways that don't feed into that negative loop, because its not only bad for you but its bad for others. Internet Kraken fucked around with this message at 09:49 on Mar 4, 2020 |

Hey all, yes things are bleak and recent events do not help. How some of you are feeling right now is how I felt in December when those results came in. Life is tough for a lot of us right now and for some it really is a life or death situation, but this is when we can do our best to support each other, to laugh at bad video games, love good video games and just keep on trying our hardest to be great people and posters. Sometimes it might feel like you have no control because of the big things, but there are always the little things that you can do. You can play that game, you can zone out in front of bad tv, you can eat a delicious snack, you can go for a walk, you can do something that makes you smile. Me? I like to read this thread, chat in this thread and share my time with you all. I like our community and will not stop looking after it and fighting for it. And Kerrzhe, I am very sorry for your loss.

Can't really break much, it's the most linear battle system in the series.

there are two things that will save you in ff3-ds, and those are hp, and having insanely high weapon proficiency levels. why hp is important: most enemies' spells do thousands and thousands of damage (i'm talking 5000+) that "hits once" so armor resistance doesn't get multiple passes on damage reduction. why weapon proficiency is so important: the game counts damage higher than 9999 but can't display it, so if you hit 128 times (dual wielding 64 per hand) you'll one shot many different things keep in mind that proficiency is per weapon, per hand

imo ffv is actually kind of dull if you aren't playing the four job fiesta or some similar challenge run - a normal playthrough is just too easy and the narrative is worse than the games on either side of it in the series

Kerrzhe posted:don't worry there's tons of stuff to be depressed about other than just climate I take some solace in knowing that there were so many of us who cared deeply about our friend enough to arrange gifts and plan trips in his final weeks; I'm positive he knew we were rooting for him right up until the end. And of all things this crummy Nedroid comic always comes to mind when I'm dealing with tragedy:  I'm gonna miss him.

This is a safe place to talk about video games and generally whatever is going on in your life, good or bad. If you have something that you want to talk about, then do it and ignore the people who don't know how to use a scroll wheel. This was one of the only places I felt self talking about my father's death last year and I would hate for someone else to feel like they're 'bothering' the thread if they have real life poo poo to talk about. Game on and namaste friends.

Jesus gently caress, is it the weekend yet I was recently awoken by the sounds of a cockroach scratching its way between the skirting and the floor. I’m usually pretty okay with bugs and poo poo since it’s Australia and bugs and poo poo are all we got but i didn’t like that one bit.

I know how a moment in politics like today for Americans can really seem catastrophic and make you miserable, I've been there myself. It's an awful feeling, and I think venting about it is definitely worthwhile, but so is trying to move forward and finding actions you can personally take. I do a lot of volunteering now, not political but social, and it does help a lot to feel like I'm contributing positively to the world, even though the organisations I volunteer for are perpetually underfunded and in an ideal world charities should not have to exist etc etc My recommendation: service dog organisations always need people to raise puppies. Huge time/effort/life commitment BUT having a big beautiful labrador in my life that I can take literally anywhere has been so good for me. They also probably need people to look after dogs for short periods of time, or come into their kennels to walk them or hang out, so if you're a dog person that can be a really positive thing to do!

I took it as a "time to believe whatever mindless nonsense the cult of 'climate change isn't that big of a deal' believes". Drinking the Kool aid to me isn't an explicit suicide reference, it's more about the mentality that takes away rational thought (literally cult like thinking) that makes people believe/do things that are not in their best interest. I could actually go for some sugary rear end Kool aid right now. But honestly anything that can contribute to getting diabetes is on my avoid list, when insulin cost $250 a shot I sure a gently caress need to take better care of myself. I guess if the idea of Medicare for all is so politically unattainable right now it's more motivation to get myself in shape to try and prepare myself for middle age.
