Hello, I have noticed a recent influx in people making threada on these fine forums to either shill their lovely music or asking goons for money for various reasons which are usually found out quite quickly to not be the real reasons they claimed. Well, I want my piece of the pie and I'm gonna be upfront and honest about it. I want the video game No Man's Sky. I work part time aND am on a fixed income (disability) and can't often afford video games or other extras like that. But Sid, you may be saying, you are high all the time, how do you afford that. Well you see my sister and her roommates give me weed and hash for free. Anyways I am actually really high right now and totally lost my train of thought so I'll get down to brass tacks, someone please buy me No Man's Sky, thank you and I love you all very much.

work full time

If you're close to my age (sorry), I will describe No Man's Sky in one sentence for you: A Yes album cover by Roger Dean with music by Vangelis.

For the rest of you, let's keep going, and this isn't going to be an exhaustive gameplay discussion, because you can find those all over the place.

Let's pretend that you never read a word about No Man's Sky. Had no idea what it was about. One day, a disc appears in the mail and all it says is "Play Me".

You decide to follow instructions.

When the game is installed, you wait to play until the house is dark and quiet. You shut the door, put on headphones, and press "Play".

Your mind proceeds to get blown. Fully, irretrievably blown.

Awe.

Back in gaming's early days, we overlooked the minor in pursuit of the major. Today, we micro-analyze the minor to invalidate the major.

Don't do that with this game.

It's stunningly, staggeringly beautiful. The experience is almost hypnotic.

I could write many words about how NMS might be even better if it was different here and here and there, but those words do not matter.

The game is bigger than all of those words.

Holy poo poo.
Mentioning Robert Dean, I think you might've just became my favourite poster.

How do I get disability

Apparently it's easy to get if you have "Anxiety" even, yet I'm still in the midst of getting on my income support due to my Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension giving me the inability to work properly.

Typically to apply for it at least where I live you need to go to a works office, apply for it, speak with a worker, get put on income assistance for a year or so until they review your application and medical forms proving that you cannot work, if they think you can work then they'll can you and throw you back into telling you to get a job.

Ive got.. err.. depression

I do as well, it's all on how they review your application, they'll do a test on you usually and if you've had an IQ test done and if you scored high then it'll delay the process in getting put on disability, but they usually will put you on income support until then.
I don't know if depression would count though in that, you usually have to get a note from the doctor stating "Because of your medical issues/history, you are unable to work."
My IIH causes me to be incredibly sensitive to light and I tend to get migraines, if I stand up too long or start doing strenuous work then I start getting ill as well as if my anxiety kicks in it just makes my IIH worse.
I have to take Zofran pretty much everyday to deal with the nausea unfortunately from this condition. My boyfriend doesn't want me working either because of my medical condition as much as I want a job because it's lovely and boring staying inside all day in my personal opinion.
But yeah, basically you can get on it but if you plan on getting a job they'll boot you off the program, they also tend to ask you who you're living with and the income you receive is judged by how many people are living with you or if you sign up on the program on your own or with another person, I had my boyfriend sign up with me for my income support while I have my Disability application reviewed, so while I wait for that to be completed I receive 950.00 a month (800 of it goes to rent unfortunately.) because we signed up together rather than the normal 650.00 I'd get if I signed up on my own.
