Yup, I re-downloaded and started a new campaign this week, and I'm a little disappointed. All the prompts are controller prompts, I can't rebind several of the actions, I can't crouch or dodge, the game crashed 5 times in 2 hours last night, the FPS takes a dip sometimes between 'scenes' in the story, DLSS kept resetting when I was benchmarking, etc.
On the plus, the game still looks amazing, the story is still S-tier in my opinion, Judy is still Judy (I simp for Judy like it's going out of style and you can't stop me), the driving combat is a good addition, and the cop fights are good. I don't regret downloading it right now, but I will be putting it down for a couple of weeks, and hopefully they'll fix some of the nagging bugs
(Anecdotally,) I've noticed over the last couple years that people both on reddit and here keep asking easily googleable questions with simple, set answers. I don't remember it being like this before 2020, or I just wasn't bothered by it at all
Thanks, I'll look some of those up! I think I want to get something classic such as sandalwood or something, and something a bit softer like a fruit or a flower, just for variety
I haven't bought anything else since I bought the razor, but I do want to get a shaving cream or something else that smells nicer than the basic foam. That's... whenever I run out of my current stuff.
I don't see why it would be any different, but you should stretch the skin you shave anyway. You can also buy a stiptic pencil if you're worried about knicks.
Sorry, no idea. I can imagine it being a little harder if you've been using the pivoting style razors. You have to keep the safety razor at the correct angle yourself or you don't get shaved.
I like my morning ritual a lot. After I brush my teeth, I shave, and then I have a coffee before I get dressed.
I used to hate shaving, just an annoying chore that gave me razor burn and bumps, that I had to do because I can't grow a beard. So I switched to an old style double sided blade safety razor. Yup, like your grandpa. Yes, they still make those. I also got a badger brush for lathering, and I make a ritual of it. When I start, it's like "ok, it's time for something pleasant that I can't rush, and I will do it, and I will enjoy it". And you know what? I do enjoy it. The old timey razor irritates my skin a lot less, the result is better and smoother, and I like how the brush feels on my face. I feel like I look good when I'm done.
And I got a nice coffee machine, and good coffee, and I take the time to enjoy it before I leave for work.
Bob lives where they do because that's what they can afford that will fulfill their needs. If you want them to work for you, make an attractive offer. Compensating for a commute is one way to do that.
I always respond to people who comment on my posts, but I don't post often. Generally speaking if I feel like the conversation has concluded, I'll stop replying. If the reply to my comment doesn't need a reply of its own (like if it's a joke, or an addition to what I said, etc) then I also don't reply.
Or I do. Whatever. There are no set rules for interacting with stuff. If you're finding it hard to keep up, just don't. For example, don't respond to this comment. Like, for practice.
I went cold turkey and it was pretty fucking hard. I remember forcing myself to do nothing while the bike I was riding just rolled by a kiosk or supermarket. I got into video games a lot more to keep myself distracted.
I smoked for about 4 years or so from the time I left high school and most of college. I only smoked a few cigarettes a day, but it was noticeably eating into my food budget. I was a poor student, so it was really noticeable. One day I bought some groceries and a pack of cigarettes and I realized half the cost was the cigarettes. And then I just stopped buying any.
It sucked, but that was maybe 6 years ago. For months I'd pass smokers on the street and it would smell like heaven, and I'd crave the stuff, but I simply didn't buy any. I don't buy cigarettes and don't consider myself a smoker but if I'm at a party and there are smokers I usually bum cigarettes off of them. It's harder to make the right choice when you're drunk. It kind of sucks to think that I'm basically hooked on them forever to some degree.
Before I start, you don't owe anyone any specific way to spend your time. Don't feel like you need to spend time constructively. It's ok to do nothing.
That being said, reading is always good, or you can pick up a hobby to develop new skills. It can be anything from knitting to woodworking. Life is packed with shit you have to do that you don't necessarily want to. If you have a choice, pick something you enjoy. It's ok to drop something you don't enjoy. Sell or give away whatever supplies you bought, and find something else.
That million dollars would solve a lot of problems for a lot of people but you would suffer from the effects probably for the rest of your life. Therapy isn't a magic bullet to kill any ailment of the mind. I'm sure it would be an option worth considering, but it's up there with selling a kidney, in my mind.
*Locality and reality are defined in specific ways within quantum physics, and "not locally real" doesn't necessarily mean 'illusory' as you might expect. Look into it, it's some crazy shit.
Anyone who thinks this is a good deal doesn't know what they're talking about. Experiments involving similar conditions have been done before, and it's never really a pleasant experience. Solitary confinement is fucking tough.
Take this for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iqKdEhx-dD4
3 days in a small room alone with no real entertainment. Even that had significant effect on Michael's wellbeing.
Keep in mind usually you can still move around and exercise in solitary confinement to keep you relatively sane. In a coffin? Have a look at sensory deprivation tanks. That's the closest thing to this hypothetical situation, and the people who sell the experience recommend you don't spend more than an hour in there.
The voice in my head is me. Sometimes if I watched a movie or talked to someone, the voice might sound different but it's still me. It doesn't talk to me, I talk with it. It's as if I was speaking out loud, but only I can hear it. Look up subvocalization. This voice in your head is so much like talking that you make some larynx movements to match the words.
Visualization, or seeing things with your mind's eye is similar. The closest metaphor I can come up with is if your regular perception was the main monitor of your computer, subvocalization and visualization would be the monitor and speakers on the side. It's doing its own thing without taking away from the main monitor, and you can focus on it (zoning out), and for some people it's higher res or higher quality than others. For you, there is only the main monitor and set of speakers. In this metaphor, there is nothing outside of the monitors and speakers in terms of perception.
Some examples of what my stuff works like:
When I remember something I saw, it "plays on the second monitor".
Having a song stuck in my head is like having the "second set of speakers" play the song on repeat.
If I say "this sentence is narrated by Morgan Freeman", then my inner voice now sounds like Morgan Freeman.
If I want to visualize anything, I "turn to my second monitor" and the thing is there. It can be still or animated, black and white, 2d or 3d, I can do it. I can't do 4d or anything like that.
