An important lesson was learned that day. Never stand on the receiving end of an enema, incision and drainage, manual disempaction, decompression or in front of someone who says “I feel sick”.

You probably need to do some self reflection and examine your feelings towards women as to why you have those views. Have you considered therapy to help you with these feelings?

Regarding coping without sex, for me it was always more the physical and emotional contact than sex itself. Hugs with friends and family help. Maybe something like a massage (not necessarily a happy ending) could help, having someone else pay attention to you and the physical touch with another human might help.

So in the UK official guidance is to encourage patients to record encounters provided it doesn’t compromise other patient privacy. This is because it helps patients remember what’s said and medics shouldn’t have anything to hide with their patients.

It really is a versatile game, especially with mods.

Now that is a lot of Skyrim. I do have to ask is that 5k hours playing or like 3k hours getting all the mods to work properly? I found modding Skyrim and playing modded Skyrim were 2 slightly different games when I was exploring mods for it.

That seems reasonable. Far cry Blood Dragon had a really entertaining tutorial. Very tongue in cheek funny and lots of sarcastic comments from the main character.

So portal 1 is about 75% tutorial but it’s done so well you don’t mind.

The long grind tutorials have definitely put me off games before though especially in some older games.

There are multiple mods which redo the start, some even have totally different locations and challenges compared to the default.

Been to long since I played to remember what they are called but worth a look maybe.

I loved Soma, so much existential angst.

I love the big revelations and how they are done. It’s definitely a game which makes you think.

I also love that they put in the no deaths mode so you can ignore the monsters which whilst cool I don’t think added much to the experience for me other than frustration trying to sneak past them.

I really enjoyed Stray the world is gorgeous (in it’s dingy apocalyptic way) and I enjoyed how they used the mechanics with a couple change ups to keep it interesting but not out-staying there welcome.

The ending I thought was really good.

I’m really bad at twister but I’d still like to play.

Yeah I wouldn’t want them with people driving then, I’d definitely want some sort of automation to be in charge especially if there were similar amounts to road traffic.

Helicopters aren’t exactly convenient personal transport. We could definitely make smaller maybe autopiloted transports.

Regarding post scarcity, that was the point, we could do it now with enough motivation.

Flying cars.

Asteroid mining.

Maybe a Moon or Mars colony.

End poverty.

Universal basic income/ post scarcity society.

Least to most fictional I think.

So I’m in my 30s and from the UK so maybe not the most relevant person to get this sort of advice from.

It sounds like you’re not in love anymore and have very little in common. If you have no strong reasons to stay together (financial, children, housing etc) then you could have an amicable divorce and maybe gain some more freedom to explore and enjoy yourself.

Yeah if the other acts were as interesting as the first it would be one of my favourite games ever. As it stands it is just really good.

I loved act 1. I really enjoyed the horror elements. Using the pliers and the knife for the first time was brutal. The meta puzzles were just right for me and I enjoyed finding out about more of the layers and the characters.

Act two was interesting, I enjoyed meeting the other characters there was just enough puzzles and challenge and change up to be interesting.

Act 3 I found frustrating, the robot world game and the away from the table elements I found dull it didn’t do anything different particularly with the game mechanics. And whilst I enjoyed the real world aspects it irritated me that I had to watch 40 minutes of YouTube to find out the “true” ending which was really quite underwhelming. I kinda wish I hadn’t bothered and just left it with the goodbye boss fights.

I really don’t know how I feel about the game as a whole. I enjoyed parts, the first act was one of the best games I’ve ever played. The rest dragged on a bit.

Can I ask what you recommend? I just have the standard add block and sponsor block running which definitely helps but the user experience could definitely be better.

Shaving with a double edged razor rather than a cartridge one. The whole process is much more meditative and rewarding when you actually focus on the moment and take the time to do it properly. Gives a better shave too.

So it seems this post is mostly about your love of watching videos of games and why don’t more people do that.

There are a few games I want to play but haven’t. I don’t generally enjoy watching other people play games, for me the fun is in the experience. The choices I make and the systems mastery I gain. Video games are active entertainment, a video is useful to see if I might like a game or to say watch the alternate endings but spending 40 hours watching

I watch a lets play with commentary from Pete Complete playing Rimworld because it’s basically a story generator and it’s a really good bit of passive entertainment. But it is not the same as playing the game, I’m invested in the characters which develop but not to the same extent as when I play Rimworld myself.
