Pretty much this. The floor at home isn't in good shape, so you choose between shoes or potential splinters. I could get into a whole rant about why I live like this, but this is not the time or place.
It's good to see those who are willing to vote with their wallets. I'm still very much playing helldivers 2. The matchmaking was recently broken and will likely be fixed before the mid week, though it certainly hurt those who just tried it out.
Matchmaking being down means I have to coordinate with the folks I know who are also playing. Thankfully for me, I have plenty of options.
Helldivers 2 was the only game I played this past week.
It clearly has a few major issues, but I'm having a ball, even when the defense mission types are completely busted and the game seemingly isn't satisfied until it hits the cap for enemies and maintains it.
I'm only missing 3 here in Philadelphia, a hospital, movie theater, and university. Though there are plenty of urgent care facilities around my location. And if we include a 15 minute bus ride, I can get to all three. I had to think in where the nearest theater was.
2.5. If that reason is a person, figure out if there's anything you can reasonably do to change the situation which caused the anger
If you can make changes, make them. If not, don't fret over it and continue your day with the full understanding that you've done all you can and it isn't worth any more of your time.
I my life, anger has always been a very short lived emotion. I cannot fathom being actively angry for more than 30 seconds at a time. Even if I hit the full 30 I figure it's probably time to break from whatever I'm doing and hydrate/eat.
Is it just acclimation to a new concept that is similar in some ways to putting gems/runes in your gear from Diablo?
I remember taking a moment to understand that the skills are all from gems, but afterwards It's pretty nice to be able to swap out skills as you play, trying new stuff to see if you like it before you really go all in on something. This most recent league(season) I found a skill I didn't know about before and it has worked wonderfully with everything else I'm working with. Once you're a bit over halfway through the campaign the game drops an npc that has nearly all the gems for sale, so you can really spend a lot of time trying out stuff to see what you like.
As for the controller version of the game, I like some things (I found it way easier to use potions), but others were a bit more frustrating, especially the inventory management and item collection... Which is a rather large part of the game.
I've really enjoyed the depth and customization available in path of exile. It's so strange to me that in diablo that equipment is either a good roll or completely useless and there's no fixing it. In path of exile, I just need to find a decent base normal item (white rarity) and I can work it into something worthwhile.
If that's not your cup of tea for whatever reason, I've heard good things about the last epoch, though I haven't played myself.
As for path of exile.. A lot of people assume you need as a beginner to follow some kind of guide or a step by step thing. I've found that as long as you don't neglect defense in that massive skill tree, you'll do just fine while doing your own thing. Doing that and keeping your various resistances up are the keys to success.
Helldivers 2. After a somewhat rocky launch, the game is good and enjoyable. It's missing a lot at the moment in terms of what the first game offered, but the third person shooting is very refreshing from the top down game it once was. I was planning to spend my whole weekend on it, but seeing how quickly I'm progressing through the ranks and knowing how the difficulty curve is, I've decided that taking my time and waiting for further updates is preferable.
Edit: seems I missed out on login issues yesterday from literal hundreds of thousands of people joining in.
For those of you who are enjoying Diablo 4, good on you. I sadly could not. There are too many things that I've been shown a better way on thanks to other arpgs that is rather spend time on than one which seems intent to have me spend significantly more time on for less. It felt awful to pick up entire inventories of loot and have absolutely none of it be worth while for my character. Literally hours of running from thing to thing to not hit a single upgrade.
Why make them illegal? I used a vape to limit my nicotine intake and weaned myself off of smoking (and vaping) completely. It still sucked for the first 6 months and the occasional random craving that comes from being a smoker for over a decade, but at least I fought each part of the smoking addictions separately which made it bearable.
For clarity, I got 0% nicotine vape juice for a month or so before I quit puffing completely so let the withdrawal from the substance run its course, and then had to deal with the psychological side of things. Which was VERY annoying. Everytime I'd do anything where I'd normally smoke triggered a craving.
If you want to jump in head first and worry about everything else later, youtube's DIYPerks has amazing builds with plenty of skills to back them up. It's been great to watch him go from little led mushroom lights to literally recasing a ps5 into a portable gaming all-in-one.
Good God is this ever true. I went many years without stretching and noticed a much higher probability I'd make a random muscle in my back or leg upset by doing something it wasn't ready for.
Heavy lifts are one thing.. Bending forward and back while painting a wall causing a back muscle to freak out was entirely unexpected and a wake up call for me to stretch every day. I still can't touch my toes, but I'm getting there.
