If you like XCOM that's great it's a good game I was just pretty upset with this one issue that unfortunately really spoiled my first experience.
I set my wheel peripheral up for Forza Motorsport 7 and am I missing something obvious or is it not possible to avoid having the steering wheel ingame stop turning after my wheel turns just 20% one way
my stupid anxiety won't go away
I've been playing games to try to get my mind off of what I'm actually mad about. It doesn't really work when I still get mad and then piss a bunch of other people off by getting seemingly way too mad at something superficial. I miss my girlfriend. We were separated when she was unfairly denied a renewal on her visa. It's barely been a week since I left the UK and I'm a wreck. I'm mad that she couldn't come back with me, and I'm mad at myself for taking things for granted. I'm mad that we did everything right to get the one thing we needed to be happy only to get slapped down so hard, so unnecessarily, and so quickly by a system that had literally nothing to lose either way. How am I supposed to be normal after that? Was I so naive to trust society to hold up its end of the bargain? What has my life even been about then? I can't even begin to answer these questions. I've long since accepted that I will never be able to change anything about the world so I made myself content to live by it. I just wanted this one simple thing and society would have never heard another peep out of me. Now I don't know what to do, so I'm playing video games.
I'd been waiting for a streamer to stream a specific game for two days, and now that he finally started to play it, it broke or some shit and won't be happening.
Walked into work today to learn that the manager has... died. It was a very long and sad day.
I'm angry at myself. I was supposed to visit my girlfriend for this christmas in the US for 12 days or so. I bought the tickets back in July because my friend's dad runs an airplane ticket company in Hungary (where i'm from) and i was only there for two weeks before i returned to the UK and wouldn't go back there until next year. Now it turns out my girlfriend will have to go home from her dorm and that she will be mainly spending it with her family and i wouldn't be able to be with her much and she also have not told her family about me apart from her grandparents because her mother would pretty much never talk to her again or support her or something. So we decided that it's not the best idea for me to come but there was no refunds for the tickets. So her grandfather offered to pay for them which is super nice from him and i'm glad (apparently they are rich and it's nothing for him or something) and didn't seem to mind too much? But i'm still really angry at myself for getting him involved and that i just rushed into buying the tickets without thinking. Especially since i never met him and i only met my girlfriend once back in the summer when she visited for two weeks and she only told them about me after we met and she was home. I'll try and make up for them somehow
i just woke up and im already being FUCKING HOUNDED
I don't know about you lot, but i for one am sick of seeing disrespectful drivel like this [IMG]https://puu.sh/y8uzg/1e7d784fcc.png[/IMG] I'm not talking about the art BTW, I'm talking about the guy saying it's 'cringy'
I spent weeks getting hyped for TAW DCS Top Gun only to get knocked out in the first round I'm pretty fucking disappointed in myself

[QUOTE=Zombinie;52879702]I don't really understand. What is the art trying to depict?

The account there is laughing at it and it always talks smack about our soldiers without looking at the hardships that they faced
[QUOTE=blueNES;52879726]The art is trying to depict the sacrifice of British soldiers in WW1 and beyond.

Pretty sad, wonder what they have against Britain...
I hate when games try to shoehorn morality choices where they don't need to be. Like you do something dangerous for a character, and then very reasonably ask for a reward, and the game shits on you for it. Fallout 4 has a hilarious fucking example where in the first missions you ask a crew of people you saved from a raider gang and a fucking giant monster, and then when you ask for payment, they go UGH COLD HEARTED MERC, WELL TELL ME WHEN YOU GROW A HEART HUH
I'm really hoping Obsidian makes the next fallout game, cause we know they won't fuck it up.
I've been trying to more open about who I add on facebook because it helps meet new and interesting people but I think I'm going to have to take a step back from that. In the past day I've seen "When I wake up tomorrow Trump better the president or I'll riot" (reposted from 2016) and a meme that was just a woman with a beaten face with text "I overhead my daughter saying she was interested in dating a black guy, so.. I showed her!" with the guy defending it in the comments with "but you cant be a party pooper and take away some other people laughs and ruin it . ig you gotta be able to see the hunor in things"
My bike got stolen so now a 3-4 minute ride to the gym is now a 20 minute walk, and it's November. Great.
Internet's acting up at work, .01 Mb/s down is not a fun time, combined with the 402 ms ping. I feel like I'm living in the 80's. [editline]11th November 2017[/editline] Interesting how using my VPN actually raised my speeds and gives me a lower ping. Fucking Cox.
I don't like the poppy/war remembrance event. Two minutes of silence always struck me as a hastle getting in the way of current things, and it doesn't accomplish anything but a few feels for people. I remember one time, someone used it as an excuse to take center stage and espouse especially shit war poetry to a group of people, and I was getting distracted by it while i was studdying in the room next door, and I really wanted to barge in and go "Those people didn't die so we could listen to your shit, two minutes of fucking SILENCE please" (but I didn't because I'm a coward, and I've regretted it for all three years since) Very few people die in modern british conflicts , and deaths in world war 1, as fascinating as it is, doesn't really strike me as especially relevant a hundred years later, when the only relative I have who fought, (who I was named after) died before my brain was advanced enough for memory (we got one pick together). Least the Anzacs get good biscuits. If you're gonna do a day for a few million deaths a single century ago, at least make it convenient. Lastly, britain has had war for almost every year of it's existence, but I always get the feeling that older people act better for being closer to those effected, and that they're lording it over us youngins. I wonder what people ten years younger think of it all.
I'm torn on poppies/remembrance. I have been wearing a poppy pin the past few days I got by donating to the British legion. As someone passionate about military history I have obvious interest in and respect for the veterans that died. But one hand, the way it is right now its basically a yearly expression of the cult-like adoration of the military. This has obvious effects on our politics and culture which I think are irrational and feed into petty nationalism. On the other hand, it is a powerful reminder that many people died in a struggle, which while it didn't explicitly begin to do so, signed the death warrant of 20th century fascism. (By which I mean, national socialism) So in other words remembrance week is our cultural mechanism of channelling and limiting nationalism simultaneously. Its bizarre.
I remember being forced to wear a poppy as part of our uniform when I worked for a private ambulance service because it had roots in WWI. The thing went in my pocket instantly because it was technically an infection risk.
I moved into my new apartment yesterday but won't be able to have a technician give us internet until Thursday. It's been 12 days since I've been able to talk to internet friends or enjoy doing stuff on my computer since I moved...
I have no problem with people smoking weed, but when the smells wafts through vents and gives me a headache from being in my own dorm room, it's really annoying
Lost nearly two hours of progress in a game because it had limited saving and I had no way of doing so at any point. Finally got unlucky and bam, fucking dead. Yeah, I think I'm just gonna click through a speedrun and read the plot, because I'm not running through all that shit again, knowing that if I die at any point I'm right back to where I am now unless I manage to squeak by and get access to a whopping 3 saves for the entire rest of the game if the first half(?)'s hours are any fucking indication. [editline]a[/editline] Could start the entire game over now that I know everything I need to do up to a point and can space out my savegames without dying because I know what's next, but honestly? Not fucking worth my time.
[QUOTE=The golden;52882600]I don't care that people smoke it but I wish smokers had more courtesy over the fact it fucking reeks. It smells like someone squeezed all the juice out of a skunk then set it on fire.[/QUOTE] This. My mum and grandma on my dads side both smoke, and the smell after you've visited is always horrible. It sticks not only to your clothing but also your hair, and I end up always taking a shower after I come home
facepunch sucks ballz
I think the biggest problem is that weed smoke is just so expansive, you can smell it from fuckin forever away. Also most weed smokers don't find the smell bad. In fact, quite a few flat out enjoy it, so they don't really think about it, meaning they leave a disgusting scent wherever they go. I enjoy the scent too, but I know others don't and do my best to cover it with open windows, fans, air freshener, etc. or smoke outside like a considerate person. On topic, I hate my job. Its mostly just to give me enough money to get by for now (loans+helpful parents pay for my rent atm). I work for a research center and call people and ask them to take surveys, like Health Issues Polls, etc, and they are mostly just opinion surveys on laws and health services. The part that makes me mad is the fact that 90% of my job is just staring at a blank computer screen doing literally nothing, waiting for hours for people to actually answer my calls. I'm a 'refusal dialer,' meaning I have to call all the numbers that have refused to take the survey once already (we take them off the list after 2 refusals). This means that almost all the god damn numbers I dial are just answering machines, while the normal dialers around me all get plently of surveys completed and friendly people. Meanwhile, I get one pick-up after an hour and say "hi my name is--" and get cut off with "SUCK MY COCK YOU FUCKING SHITHEAD GET A NORMAL JOB." People act like I'm out to fucking murder them.
My Doom on Nintendo Switch's delivery date keeps changing, it was supposed to arrive tomorrow, now it's says it's coming Saturday. This is going to be the third time in 3 days I've had to contact Amazon support for this shit [editline]12th November 2017[/editline] Now they're telling me it was suppose to arrive Monday Next Week, when it gave no indication it would do that
I really dislike matching icons. I get that sometimes they're cool and apart from that can be pretty fun with friends but their most common use is for couples. I don't really mind that you have a significant other and all but is it really cool to have cutesy lovey dovey matching icons to show everyone in the world that you're in love? I don't know it doesn't really bother me that much it's just a huge annoyance.
When I'm riding passenger with someone who has one of those "cycle the car's air" options for their air conditioning but they don't turn it in when behind a car whose exhaust smells like shit. I get a whiff of something nasty and that thing goes right the fuck on in my car.
