Jay Rust posted:That's interesting that you'd know that, is it really internationally known? I don’t know that it’s well known per se but it comes up a lot as an unusual factoid since it’s one of if not the only city that does that (can’t boot out tenants or cut off their utilities in winter). It was in a Japanese workbook I taught English from, for example.

Yeah, laser eye surgery is appropriate for people whose eyes are immensely hosed (like legally blind or on the cusp of being so), less so if glasses give you perfect vision. I don't think there's such a thing as glasses looking worse than no glasses if you get the right pair. And if disability is coming in September, that sounds reasonable to wait until, it's like 2 months. If she's that bent about glasses and her appearance she probably needs therapy and medication, in all honesty.

My wife and I got new real glasses a year ago as well as progressive lens prescription sunglasses which rule for summer. I’d be more interested in Lasik if cost was better or it was a permanent fix which for-sure made vision perfect with no side effects.

Separate question: how bad is KCB’s vision?

One thing I'll say, a friend of mine who was right on the cusp of being legally blind got Lasik and I don't think he was as emotionally determined about getting the procedure done as KCD seems to be.

FirstAidKite posted:I just hope I don't cause too much trouble for my therapist. My psychiatrist, when he saw me the other day, was all "I don't know what your therapist has been doing for the past several years but you've gotta stop beating yourself up man" because KCB told him that I've been hurting myself more lately during the various depressive moods and panic moods (I'd have told him myself but I wasn't in any kind of talking shape at the time) and when I was a little less out of it, KCB and I both agreed that it was pretty lovely of him to say that to me because like...of course I should not being so hard on myself, physically and mentally, but that's the problem. It doesn't matter that I know I should go easier on myself, just telling me that I need to stop doing it is like telling someone with broken legs to walk it off. It's not that simple and it's annoying that this normally kind and understanding dude was just like "well man I don't know what to tell you, you've gotta stop beating yourself up so much" as if the answer all along to "how do we keep this mentally ill guy from beating himself up figuratively/literally/mentally/physically" was "cut it out" It may still be worth exploring the possibility of seeing another therapist (like that one with the nerf gun from that viral story  ), and looking into medication for depression/anxiety (or changing the medication). fwiw I was a shut-in wreck for a few years and had limited success with therapy, but after trying a few different medications I finally found one that's been amazing, and also cut caffeine entirely and moved to a smaller, chiller town.Therapist is a "just you" thing and psychiatrist is a "you + KCB" thing, right?

Samuringa posted:Pretty sure you shouldn't go to the same psychiatrist. I've been advised to not even go to the same psychiatrist as other family members as it can muddle things, I figure a couple would have the same issue. Yeah, same here. It's definitely highly frowned on and considered to really mess with treatment, unless you're specifically at couples' therapy, and even then you should have your own specialist your partner/family aren't also seeing as well.

FirstAidKite posted:we've managed to work together crippled master style to get through life. I appreciate this reference. It's just very atypical since doing that has a high chance of creating problems for the therapist, like if there are codependency issues or issues where the solution is for the two to separate, stuff like that. Like every therapist my wife and I went to flat-out refused to do this outside of in the form of couples' therapy, which is a different thing. Even for stuff where the partner is helping, the therapist doesn't generally interact with the partner directly and the "plan" is just given to the actual patient to go over with their partner, maybe there might be the odd session where the partner is brought in but even that's pretty rare.

McDragon posted:I took a stack of those super arrows and just offed the lot of them. Man that section sucked. That section definitely sucked although once you know it it's not too bad. Going up to that little roof alcove with all the mighty bananas helps, from there you can stay at ceiling level, drop down to go into that little side room with 600 rupees, and then there's only like 2 guards you have to distract from there to be free and clear.

Overwatch Porn posted:is there a best version of ff6 to play or should i just emulate the original SNES original is probably the overall "best" version, especially if your Japanese is good enough to play it in Japanese. Translation is iffy but has its charms. PS1 re-release is fine but has quite a bit of loading. Not terrible like Chrono Trigger, but still worth noting. If you have a Vita or a PS3 you can get it for like 6 bucks on PSN. GBA version has a much better translation, music quality takes a dive, though, and that's pretty major for this game. Still not a bad option. Mobile/PC version takes an iffy direction with the graphics, but has the newer translations in multiple languages as well as good music.

Cold beats heat since you can always just put on more layers, but it doesn't get you very far going in the other direction; there are only so many layers you can take off before having to rip and tear your flesh.

GUI posted:I remember people on this very forum near the end of last gen around 2012 talking about how next gen consoles weren't necessary because Red Dead Redemption was the pinnacle of video game graphics and they wouldn't look any better nor was better hardware needed for anything. From forever ago but...kinda? The PS4/XB1 generation looks better graphically but isn't all that much of a leap from the PS3/360, really, and other than Hitman I think almost all games could have been backported to PS3/360 if there was demand and a set mind to do so, especially when you consider that games like GTA 5 and Metal Gear Solid V and Destiny were on those consoles just fine. Likewise, whatever the next generation is going to look like, is a game on those running at 4K30 really going to be completely impossible to run at 900p30 on the PS4/XB1? Or be a meaningful upgrade if you don't have a 4K TV? It's definitely getting weird where a bunch of genres or sort of plateauing at different points, like how visual novels mostly hit their stride on DS and PSP, and at least the game portion of Street Fighter V is effectively no different from what the Dreamcast was doing with Third Strike and Soul Calibur 2 and the like. doingitwrong posted:I am in love with Captain Toad and Octopath Traveller's tiny-diorama world styles and I want you all to tell me about more current or upcoming games that feel like playing with lovingly-made miniatures. PSVR's got a few options like this to really bring the illusion home. The Demo disc has this single-level top-down platformer that works really well with it and I believe they're making a whole game of it. univbee fucked around with this message at 15:19 on Jul 20, 2018 |

Sakurazuka posted:Nintendo treated the whole of Europe like a lovely afterthought for many years so I can't blame anyone for that. Based on the list of released games and some dicking around I did digging around for French versions of games, it seems they refused to release any text-heavy game unless it got translated into FIGS. This made their RPG options really thin on the ground, although what actually got a release was in fact multilingual (e.g. Actraiser, Secret of Mana, Mystic Quest Legends, Terranigma). Also wasn't the N64 the first console that did proper NTSC-to-PAL conversions, so you didn't get weird speed or a warped screen with black bars?

Saint Freak posted:It looks like it had several weeks as number 1 until a rugby video game bumped it once, and then went back to number 1. Aussies into Rugby, you say? Cowcaster posted:i watched some rugby games while i was in france and also it's on at the bar i go to every once in a while here, and i'm curious: the NFL has this whole big thing going on where even with huge amounts of padding and state of the art helmets guys who play it for more than a few years are coming out with brains the consistency of rice pudding. how the hell do rugby players, with no gear literally at all, not end up with their brains leaking out their ears? It definitely still happens, albeit probably to a reduced extent. I think part of it is that the padding lets people hit harder for longer, and also more inclined to do head smashes. Without the padding you don't actually want to smash anything into anyone's head because it will hurt like hell. They had the same problem with boxing, bare-knuckle boxing was all about body blows and the like, punching the head and face is generally unwise, especially if you're fighting regularly. Boxers having brain mush I don't think was really a thing until gloved boxing became the norm and people went through entire careers with gloves. Of course, that being said, Rugby players are notoriously tough as nails. Look into legendary New Zealand All Blacks player Buck Shelford, who was in the bottom of a ruck (a body pileup where everyone is digging their cleats into whoever is underfoot) where he lost four teeth and  had his nutsack torn open by someone's cleats such that a testicle was actually dangling free, then nonchalantly had it crudely put back together (unsure if it was actually stitched or even just crudely taped) by the field doctor, and kept playing. He was later concussed in that same game.
