I want to talk to you about fate: does it exist or not? Honestly, I don't know. I won't claim to believe in it unconditionally, but I looked at my natal chart (Shoutout to my astrologer friend from the other thread! I know you're reading this). During this time, I've talked to magicians, psychologists, internet freaks, and even talked to AI. And, of course, I've tried to start my life from scratch many times. I've tried to find a job many times, but I've lost it. And now I'm 28 years old, guys. I just want to throw everything away. I'll be 30 in two years. I have no education, I've never really learned anything in my entire life, and I've spent half of it living off my parents. I'm literally a loser, a nobody. The older you get, the more clearly you realize: trying to start over doesn't work when you're in poor health. Let's be honest, many of us have lousy health; many of us rarely even go outside. Besides, there's no money for education, not to mention the strict regulations, the need to pass exams, and other difficulties. And I ask myself: did I even have a choice in how to live? Or was my life built from the very beginning according to some divine plan, a supercomputer, or something similar? After all, if you think about it, all my decisions have always turned out to be wrong. I constantly did the wrong thing, made mistakes out of stupidity or naivety. So, is everything predetermined? I'm still tormented by this question. If I were to get up tomorrow and say, "That's it, I'm leaving this life and I'm no longer a burden," I still wouldn't be able to change much. I won't become a doctor or a scientist at 30. External factors influence us too much. Does that mean that even my decision to change something tomorrow was already made not by me, but by someone else? And I just play out this scenario over and over again, and there was no real freedom of choice. But you know what's the scariest thing? It turns out that no matter what we do, we can't jump above our heads. As the saying goes: "Play stupid games, get stupid prizes" or "You can't teach an old dog new tricks." Actually, I want to ask you: do you believe in fate? Are we really destined to suffer our entire lives? I looked at myself: I'm 28, I haven't learned anything, and I just wasted this life. I wish I'd never been born.

>You have whatever genes you have
>Even what surrounds you is predetermined since it's controlled by the genetics of other beings
The consequences of these factors isn't predetermism. Conscious humans decided to come together, through an act of free will, to mix their genes and procreate. This free decision resulted in the genetic makeup of you and others. You being unable to go back in time to make your parents unfuck doesn't validate the concept of predeterminism. It defines history. Calling history and your genetic makeup "predetermined" is no different than if some dude walked up to you and grabbed your balls, then you blaming predeterminism because at some point that man was groomed in to being a homosexual by two people (acting on free will) and that mental warping gave him the inspiration to fondle your sack. If you think free will doesn't exist you are probably a bag bouncer yourself.

im a 35 year old neet wizard, i have never had a job, cant drive a car, and of course am a virgin.

I realized when i turned 30 it was over, i was in for the long haul. And i was blessed enough to have perants who dont care if im a loser and let me live with them

Is it fate? maybe a little, but at the same time i realize its also due to lack of action being taken by your own self. you realize no one is going to come and save you, your choices are take action or rot.

in my 20s i used to relate to the character renton from trainspotting, the ending made me hype, like thats me, im going to do it too, im going to break out of this, but i never did.

So i have embraced being a neet, its not too bad, whats the point of life anyways? to work yourself to death so you have 20 years of retirement when you get old?

I have all the time in the world, to get in shape, to read books, to learn things, to make things. Im big into poetry and painting.

I looked into it some, and what's happening is less what the all the headlines make it out to be and more so a suppression not of any unitarian theological element, but instead a suppression of ritualistic components extrapolated from Arabized Saudi imperialism, and then in addition a suppression of the superstitions emergent from hundreds of years of magi malformation, thus ensuing in the transformation of a school of thought containing only foundational moral principles, to which whose followers are still allowed specific, targeted, and atomized zones existent in their own locales for the purpose of their inseparable prayer, coordinated in such a way as not to interfere nor obstruct other facets of life for other peoples. Banned and barred are all the things you'd expect to be banned or barred which lead to Chinese disharmony.
The end result ensues, effectively, in the modern day Christian, and a state semi-akin to the neighboring Kazakhastan. More concerning are/were the movements of independence toward an 'East Turkmenistan' hence why the construction of re-education camps were facilitated. So, not primarily for obstructing religion and people saying 'I believe in God' or in their fasting or distancing from consuming pork, but rather curbing the people from thinking themselves apart from belonging to China. Same with Tibet. Why the camps are said to have diminished of late, if not been destroyed or repurposed for a more pragmatic objective, owes not to the obsoleting of faith but because of the realization that a distancing from China only ultimately ensues in being swallowed by disagreeable muck. So, the 'carrot' approach is doing its job well, and as with all things, the carrot is better than the stick, and this will only prove ever increasingly as urbanization and all the material elements increase: the goal of a people seeking independence has been severed, for why should they seek it, when being part of China and abiding by its law is superior?
I'm pretty sure they had a sterilization thing going on for awhile and enabled the one child policy to continue in Xinjiang, but in line with curbing diminishing numbers throughout the nation, we can say, it is either banned if not outright criminalized.

Turkey will join the RU. Too much friction and 800 year differences to ever be part of the EU. It'll split in two, but both parts will be part of the RU, with Kurdistan inclining itself more so toward the ME. The 'EU' will never ever control the black sea, and thus will never ever have any portion of Turkey to itself. That's where its 'zone' ends.

Since Europe will be a country unto its own, the current nations comprising it will transform instead to provinces, with some borders redrawn and some stuff merged. Remember, the EU has 12 stars, whilst China has 5. The primary star comprising the Chinese flag is the primary body through which all evolved. Then it stretches to the limbs; Mongolia, Taiwan, Xinjiang, Xizang. All things considered, it's unlikely Russia will ever concede outer Manchuria and Sakhalin. Would be pretty stupid. Truly stupid. Sakhalin and the rest will belong to Russia forevermore and transform to Russia's versions of quaternary power facilities.

At any rate, back to Europe. These are the new provinces.

Star 1 - England, Scotland, Wales. That will make up the UK. NI has nothing to do with it.
Star 2 - Western Ukraine
Star 3 - France
Star 4 - Italy
Star 5 - Poland
Star 6 - Romania
Star 7 - Germany
Star 8 - Anatolia = Western Turkey split after war, of which Cyprus will be part of.
Star 9 - Sweden
Star 10 - Ireland; North, South, fully connected.
Star 11 - Greece
Star 12 - Spain
(Star 13, added after the war with Russia's done - HQ, Iceland)

Now, because Norway will join the European Union, that is, the country Europe, Russia will be forced to respond in kind by annexing Finland.
Because of a Poland-Kaliningrad scenario, Russia will be forced to annex Belarus, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia.

>deleted for schizoposting
The recent mass deletions from this thread didn't happen because they were "schizoposts". It was because they were posted in unrelated threads, deleted, posted again by the same guy, deleted, then posted again by the still banned guy with additional insults to the userbase tacked on to his copypasta. The poster had no involvement with the site beyond his single repeated post so he was deemed an outsider.

The geopolitical posts made above are unique, on-topic, and the user seems to engage with the site in other ways.

Thesis:

Engagement with structurally advanced texts and excellent rhetoric trains and temporarily optimises the mind into recurring modes of organization, attention, abstraction, and inference; repeated exposure can temporarily or semi-durably bias cognition toward those modes independently of propositional content.

Or in simpler terms, in the same way that algebra & calculus trains the mind towards logical and methodical thought in the long term, I believe it's possible for works of illustration, music and literature to do so in the short term. If this is true, then it's advantageous to catalogue such art-efacts and optimise exposure to them.

I'm not talking about the first order; "no duh, I read something that told/reminded me of facts and now they're at the front of my attention" or involuntary emotional responses, I'm talking about the temporary mental structure. Meditation or such like, if it works, seems to work by selecting for facts and details, voluntarily emphasising inputs to get desired outputs. It should notionally be possible then, to exercise the mind in such a way that one or more patterns of thought and emphasis can be either cold stored, or reliably reconstructed with inputs on demand. I think genius lies in being able to do this at will and not rely on outside props, but i'm not a genius.

The inspiration for this idea came from reading Robert Carlyle in the morning and consequently having a very organised and effective day at work, but I've noticed it much earlier in the second and third novel of Kai Lung. In the later case, the pleasant but none-the-less non-trivial effort of very complex English usually leaves me in a "well spoken" state for quite some time. I originally put this down to simple mimicry but perhaps there's more to it.

Thoughts? Examples of useful material?

If this is true, consider the darker side - that it's possible to artificially construct and reinforce dysfunctional frames of mind, not just overloading the memory and attention with noise and conflict, but actually implant a structure of thought - at scale. If this was so, how well does it explain modernity.

I mean, that might have literally been me. I remember posting something about how pretending to be a ninja in training helped me do my calisthenic exercise like push ups and pull ups(and also how that same "pretending" did not extend into motivating me to for example lift weights in the gym, because that doesn't fit the conceptual framing).
Yeah, interesting threads for sure, but I never really ended up figuring out how to fully utilize it. The biggest issue I faced is the constant back sliding. It's like when you watch a movie and start acting like the main character; it usually lasts for a week or two, then you're back to your old self. When you use your imagination to conceptually reframe your self-image you end up with the same problem of short duration.

Not I, but this sounds interesting too. A decade or so ago I was reading the egoists with a view to brute force a change in perspective away from thinking of myself as a subject seen by others and instead a self actualising subject. All it came to was the big 5 and practical applications but perhaps I was just too young.

>>228611
Which is why i'm looking for external tools to solve the problem. I've reached roughly the point of diminishing returns on CBT and so on, and I'm "better" after having had such external interventions but now - after not being in a constant state of disaster management for the first time in my adult life, i'm aware that altered mental states can contribute to a useful end, if managed effectively.

I don't know, I'm 24 years old and basically I haven't done anything but stay in my room. I'm usually on the computer and reading books, although lately I've let myself go and just been eating snacks and using Steam. Being flooded with strange thoughts, I've tried to write to you all, but the writings are even stranger. I also know I'm very slow because I'm contemplative, and in general, I find it hard to adapt to anything or do anything. I don't know how to do anything particularly well, and feeling like everything outside is such a rushed, chaotic, dangerous world… I don't know, it scares me. I feel worried about my future. Although I feel good walking in the woods, I don't even know why I'm writing this. I don't know, like many other things, I just wanted to write it, maybe with a hidden reason inside me. I haven't been feeling well lately, although it's been an interesting and incredible trip. I'm sleepy. Hugs to everyone, I love you all.

A slightly unusual hobby for a wizardly man, but I've always had an attraction to it.

What I like about it is the extremely large variety of tricks that can be learned. It's like the Path of Exile skill tree in the sense you can pick a direction and learn that way. You can build up your foundations, or you can go the straight and narrow all the way to learning your favorite trick. The large variety of tricks also mean there are a ton of easier ones to learn, and learning these tricks provides such a strong feeling of accomplishment.

Cruising is very nice too, I intent to get a bigger old school board with soft(?) wheels for nice and easy transport.

The art on skateboards is also quite nice, there's something for everyone. Also you can buy blanks and draw on it yourself. I think the level of creativity in all aspects of this hobby is so amazing.

All things skating related welcomed, I'll try my best to answer with great care to everyone.

Thank you for participating

It's a great hobby! I bought my first board (cruiser) last summer. I remember the first time I came back from the skate park I felt the most joy in recent years. It also helps you stay present in the moment and get some exercise - I was into lifting prior.

It took me an entire month several hours a day learning to ollie, that's when I was a kid and was extremely motivated and had the energy for it. It is the hardest trick to learn as it's the first "real" trick you do. The falling aspect is scary, especially with age. I've fallen a few times recently but luckily they were controlled, and I did that roll. A sudden impact might take me out for months at this stage.

>>70655
Very nice! I bet the cruiser feels very smooth and amazing to ride? I will be getting one soon as all of the parts are cheap enough, very slim variety of soft wheels for sale which isn't very nice. I'd like to get really good at doing manuals, and potentially being able to carve bowls later with slash grinds. Getting some exercise has been recommended to me by doctors as I've spent the last 10 years kinda doing nothing but work

I'm playing Jackie Chan: Stuntmaster on PS1 and it rocks. It's a simple 3D beat 'em up with a few platform elements, a product of its time for sure, but I don't see any issue in that, beating people up is satisfying and that's all a beat 'em up needs to do right, it needs to feel good when you hit things and it does.

been playing this game, witchfire. rutracker has the most updated version of it but id advise to not use the exe you see in the root folder but dig into the binaries folder and use that one, just in case aha.
Its pretty fun, I like how they blended in the rouguelike/soulslike elements hat they chose to put into their shooty game. Id call it doom but with souls mechanics. Most of my time is spent running through the same 2 levels shooting he same guys trying to git gud and to unlock what secrets I can, and grinding for souls before getting filtered by the next level. I enjoy how its tuned, the loop has hooked me. Its something nice to play after the wage.

I'm trying to finish Coraline on DS right now, it's fine, but a bit boring, you just explore a bit and play some minigames here and there to make the story progress, nothing offensive, but nothing inspired either and not something I'd see myself revisiting with fondness, I mostly "like it" because I like the book and film, so the IP, not the video game itself.

I've been playing Darkest Dungeon. I didn't care for it when it first came out but now I'm enjoying it enough. I like the fact I can play it with one hand and since it's turn based I can take my time to read items descriptions, comparing characters, analyze trinckets, effects, etc. I like games that let me take my time. The only thing I don't care for is the art style.

Canada got rid of the D-glucuronolactone in the original Monster and Monster Zero Ultra. How does this make you feel wizzies? Imo that was one of the defining ingredients in the Monster energy blend, and taking it out makes Monster not too dissimilar from every other energy drink on the market. (It was what caused that specific feeling of stimulation in your cerebral cortex that you don't get with other beverages.)

Also energy drink general I guess

Haven't seen my fav energy drink ever for years, apparently it was discontinued in favor of meh artificial fruit flavored shit like Strawberry Kiwi. Looks like normalnigs have no taste as usual.

That regular-ass veggie juice goes well with caffeine, which works in part by increasing the body's metabolism rate of food energy/nutrition. The green tea extract they used gave excellent clean feeling energy.

Would they? I've been thinking.

My mom is already LDAR'ing due to the debt and she's already lost one child, so I think either by suicide or stress she would die. My dad? He didn't seem to care that much when my stepbro died, but I am his firstborn. I don't know really. My little brother would probably just turn into me. That's my only concern. Everyone else, would cry for a day maybe.

I thought that at 44 years old this stuff wouldn't get at me anymore but I was wrong.

All those cute couples rollerblading. Young mothers pushing strollers and smiling. People laughing in the park. People playing soccer in the field. Everyone is so happy, so content with their lot in life. They are so well-adjusted to this life.

People talking in upbeat tones. Groups of people socializing, laughing, smiling.

Everywhere I went today it was like this.
Its amazing how easy life is when you are neurotypical. It's like everything falls into place without much struggle and effort. You are always pre-programmed to get the most out of life without having to do anything special to make it happen.

What i'm hearing is you're not happy with your lot in life.

Are you missing rollerblading or pushing a stroller, or are you missing something that it represents?

This is just a small visible percentage of social reality that mainly consists of well thought out, intentionally demonstrated „personal well being and a competition of showing to others how great and awesome (your) life is“. This is not representative of truth, it is an aspect of one part of reality and it has some biological evolutionary functions and it is not a bad thing per se but it’s not necessary to live a good life. Have you grown up in a family? Have you witnessed neurotypicals being in a bad mood, angry, sad etc.? In my family there was so much dispute and troubles but I always was silent one, the person who witnessed all the problems but never took part in these interactions. But even in public sometimes you can witness the stress and dispute families and other gatherings go through, I'm glad to not be part of that. People in public normally make a good job of hiding all the suffering, the imperfections, the socially incompatible side of life. In fact you can find solace in the insight that you don’t have to pretend, don’t have to act as if everything is great, you don’t have waste an ounce of energy to participate in this showcase of socially acceptable behavior. Mind you, a sub-percentage of the displayed behavior actually is people being happy without having to pretend. But don’t think this is permanent or the usual case. Most normier suffer because they have been part of this percentage of social reality and only then know what it’s like missing that, the work you have to put in to keep it going, the fear of losing touch, the knowledge of how fragile and often times dishonest, artificial, superficial this whole thing is. We have none of those worries. So that’s nice.

What is everyones thoughts on leaving a suicide note? Is it necessary for closure for others? A way to get everything off your chest before you ack? Or just a waste of time?

I have been staring at my .60 cent retirement plan, and am not sure if I would just like to go out and just have everyone guessing. Or if its right to leave a note. Most of my family thinks I am useless or lazy. However they have no introspection on that they are the ones who raised me.

Ok i gonna give you some advice around hypnosis and mind (the thread of magick tech have some info books and etc around this)
>how its works?
Just imagine a kid waking up by her mom/father/tutor in the morning yelling out him with insults while maybe hit the kid, this kid will have the day ruined maybe with bad humour and negative ideas (imagine this everyday, of the childhood) and it will feel like a total piece of shit, the other personal thing of this kid doesnt matter for now but get the outcome.
now compare this to a kid waking up by her mom/father/tutor with a warm -good day, today is a good day!- in a soft loving tone voice while try to maybe hurry the kid a little or help the kid to wake up (or even try to wake up the kid with more time to not hurry you too much)

These two kids in the waking up (even adults) are incredible suggestionable, just imagine who of the two will have a more good outcome in the day, and even in the next day if the first phrases they listen when wake up and enter in the mind are like
-Wake up little piece of useless meat-shit asshole fuc…! hit and yell the kid*-
and
-Good morning, honey, kiss in the forehead while some family touch* its a warm day, wake up you need to go to prepare for school!-
You get it?

>Mind Hygiene
Try to no listen to sad music, sad pop music etc (lana del rey, billie eilish and etc)
Try to no listen to sad music before bed/before sleep/when wake up
Try to no listen to music that trigger rumiation or bad sad ideas, even before bed
Try to no listen sad music when you just wake up (you still can listen happy energy music)
Try to no rumiate before sleep or have bad sad ideas bacause maybe you can wake up with that idea in mind in the wake up and this maybe can ruin your next day
Try to no watch sad or deppresive things in media, or get straight out of the media and ignore it
Try to listen to happy energy music in some activies to make a constant trigger for you when you need it (the same sad trigger of music can be made with a happy trigger of energy happy music)
Try to NO have negative ideas or rumiation when you just wake up (next tip explain it why and how to use this in a positive way around hypnosis) and if you got into it, try to use a reality check technique later i mention

Discussion about the lucrative, dangerous, and interesting hobby of Dumpster Diving.

High priority finds: Anything worth $$$, duh. Here's some examples:
-PC/Electronic equipment
-Sealed products, boardgames, clothing etc
-Food(sealed and safe)
-Anything you can use

Every day at my job I throw away several thousands of dollars of supermarket goods that are still good but we cannot legally sell them. Sometimes the seal is slightly broken and if anyone gets sick from that, that's a 6 or 7 digit number we get fined, so it's easier to avoid that altogether and claim insurances. Every single night people raid our dumpster. It makes sense.

I also used to use this method to survive decently while I was homeless.

Please post your thoughts and experiences

Games you played that were not as good as the mainstream masses/reviewers would had you believe.
Also games that were recommended by "patricians", that turned out to just be games that cater to their autistic taste.

While I didn't find the gameplay or aesthetic of borderlands bad. The writing is so god damn cringy, it's like a boomer trying to write something he thinks modern teens like. After 2 hour I just couldn't stand it anymore. Gearbox were veterans and they had the backing of 2K a major publisher, this was the best writer they could get?
The deigns of banished isn't bad. It just that it felt like doing homework instead of playing a fun game. Many hours of planning, trail and error. Only an autist could think about spending the weekend for this.

In precise way, the guilds are focused in the roll skill they use, fighters are melee etc, mage use magic or related to artifacts and books and Thiefs rogues use any tricky way to things, i remember read this in a Dev book or something that they try to keep the roll focused in the guilds but yeah you can do mage guild thing without magic in general lol.

That makes sense, but then they should have designed the quests around that decision in a more immersive way.

You just see these popular games for what they are. Honestly many of these "masterpieces" arn't masterpieces. What I noticed is that people tend to like them for doing amazing on a few parts or impress them with few gimmicks.
For example Final Fantasy 6, people treat it like a masterpiece just because of the story and music. The gameplay or graphics is nothing to write home about. FEAR had an adaptive AI, horror atmosphere and bullet time. Apart from these gimmicks, there isn't anything special about it compared to other shooters. The levels were okay, I wouldn't call them amazing.
Basically if you want to have chance of being in people's top list, do amazing on a few parts(be it gameplay, graphics, sound or writing) or have a few impressive gimmicks on a okayish game.

Bought this game during the recent Steam sale. Remember playing it when I was younger on the Xbox, so I figured I would relive some memories and pick up the PC port since it was dirt cheap.
Unfortunately, I didn't live up to my memories of it, and I have to conclude it's quite a mediocre game.
The conceit of the game is that it's basically a first person shooter, but instead of a normal gun, you have a crossbow that shoots a variety of critters (which are the different ammo types).
Spiders that tangle enemies in a web, wasps that are like a rapid fire machine gun, bats that explode, the furballs that have sharp teeth and function like proximity mines, etc.
It's a nice idea but it doesn't really work, because the game doesn't seem to be designed nor balanced around it, which is unfortunate considering that's the central gimmick of the game. I think what happened is that the developers had an interesting idea on paper, but then weren't able to flesh out it into a successful execution of said idea.
One of the ammo types, for example, is a talking chipmunk which acts as bait for enemies (there's a very rudimentary stealth system in this game). The tutorial introduces the idea of luring your enemies into a trap using these noisemakers. Except, throughout the rest of the game there's absolutely no reason whatsoever to actually do this. Sure you can lure an enemy to you and then shoot them, but there's basically no added benefit; you might as well just shoot them, straight up.
There's also some balancing issues in that there's a default infinite ammo type which is this electric bug, which if you let it charge up, stuns most enemies. The most efficient strategy then is to stun enemies with this infinite ammo type, while walloping them with the ammo type that does the most damage.
There's also bosses in the game which you can either kill or capture (there's a sort fantastical Wild West theme throughout the game, and you're a bounty hunter). Here again, the most efficient way to capture bosses is to just spam the stun and damage ammo types in quick succession. It would be much more interesting if each boss required a different approach e.g. this one needs to be stung with the wasp ammo before you can tie him up with the spiders, another might need to be bled out using the furball traps with sharp teeth before you can stun him, etc. Unfortunately, that's no the case.

I finished Saint Seiya: Soldiers' Soul on PS4 with my older sister. I hadn't come visit my parents in a while and she still lives with them, it was nice playing some video games with her again and finally beating this save of ours that was just waiting for us to sit down and kick Hades' ass. It's not the best title, the cutscenes and presentation are laughable, but it plays alright, even if we both thought Saint Seiya: Sanctuary Battle on PS3 captured the IP better, I'm still glad we play through it really.

Now if only we'd get another Saint Seiya title that isn't mobile slop, something based on Lost Canvas for PS5 would rock.

I always see Call of Juarez on sale on Steam, and I remember this game from back in the day, so I figured I'd play it.
Honestly a so-so experience. It's essentially a first person shooter, with some curveballs thrown into the mix.
You play as two characters, Reverend Ray (a priest obviously) and Billy Candle (a young man on the run). Every chapter you alternate between these two characters. Ray is tanky gunslinger priest (who even wears a steel breastplate) while Billy is a more agile stealth based character. All the Ray chapters are hectic shoot outs, while the Billy chapters try to switch it up with stealth and platforming sections.
The stealth is the classic tedious trial and error kind, but the sections are mercifully short and this game has quicksaves so it's just about bearable. The platforming sections are okay. I didn't mind them, but reading reviews for this game other people hated these chapters and I can totally see that.
This game was an early 7th gen title and it shows. A lot of the levels are open yet linear; like a straight tunnel that's just extremely wide (metaphorically, the actual environment mostly consists of open plains and mountains, etc.) There's a level in particular were an Indian (feather not dot) tells you to collect 3 rabbits, and you just end up riding around in this huge open space for a while. Story wise, that chapter follows are really hectic action set piece so I understand they wanted to put in a quieter beat, but this also feels like it was put in to show everyone "look, we can do large, seamless open environments with no loading screens and long draw distance, next-gen baby!". You're even tasked with climbing a mountain in this level. A real sort of proto Skyrim "see that mountain, you can climb it" type of moment. Incidentally, it was also my favorite level. Climbing a mountain just felt much more unique to me than the rest of the game which is a pretty mediocre shooter.
In line with the early 7th gen feel, this game tries to do a little bit of everything, while doing it all poorly. There's objects you can pick up, but there's never any use. There's a couple sections where you can fill up buckets and put out fires. You can use a whip to swing from trees during the platforming sections, but it's clunky -basically "look at our physics engine" type of stuff, that's all pretty poorly implemented.
Gun variety is mediocre. Couple of six-shooters as you would expect from a cowboy game, which havePost too long. Click here to view the full text.

I just finished Michael Jackson's Moonwalker on Arcade and on SEGA Mega Drive, still looking forward to getting a 1CC on the former and finishing the latter on Normal and Hard, as I could only do them with infinite credits and on Easy respectively, also want to give the SEGA Master System port a try as I absolutely love that console.

What games do you play on your box, wizzies?

Starting out with a classic, Minecraft works flawlessly. Really enjoy it on my machine, especially since I can afford more generous RAM allocation.

I switched to linux specifically to play games, you have options now so you can ditch windows.
You have Bazzite if you're not technical
And there's CachyOS and Nobara Linux
I use Nobara because I found out about it before CachyOS

As of right now most games play great thanks to proton and bottles, whatever doesn't I just add as a non steam game and try again, it's how I got FF7 rebirth to work.

Currently playing:
KCD 2 no problems.
Stalker 2 did not run as I hoped so Ill wait a bit and try and figure out what combination of settings can help me run it better.
Even Res Evil 9 ran great.

If you can only play 15+ year old games on Linux, then why not just use an old version of Windows to play those old games and not deal with all the hoops and compatibility workarounds? It seems that to pirate Windows 7 and install a pirated game from a mounted ISO has fewer steps to follow than just getting many games to run on an already installed Linux distro. The performance, accuracy, and stability is most definitely going to be more stable on that Windows machine too.

is linux gaming even a thing anymore? I can literally play everything without issue. The only stuff you can't play are the rootkit cheat prevention games that you shouldn't be playing anyway.

Recently I've been playing a bunch of the 2000s nihon falcom games like Xanadu Next. Really love it

love the ost

The only workaround I've ever needed to do was like go on proton db and run whatever console command they have listed (on really weird/old games). It's shockingly painless even when I'm using an nvidia gpu now. Using cachy os, I literally did 0 manual setup for nvidia gpu and didn't install any drivers it just all automatically worked.

I especially love how I can use the PSP/PS3's XMB as a hub for all of my ROMs, so cozy.

So much seething and coping, also lying. Remember folks, the guy who takes hours to make a doodle witch, is they one telling you to not learn the fundamentals. Because he is a crab who wants your skill to remain on his level.
>I didn't read any of your post beyond that.
lies, how do i know?
>The witch (drawing) is a better contribution to the drawing thread than the cat (conversion of medium)
you got triggered by this line, didn't you?
>Your 2d cardboard witch clearly shows how good your mind is at rotating an apple.

Here's some stuff I drew recently. I am taking a break today though because I managed to hurt my wrist drawing on a small tablet in bed for too long, and I made myself paranoid about developing some sort of injury. I realize it probably isn't productive at my level to be painting/coloring yet but it's too fun. There is something really appealing to me about the color palette of deep sea fish/siphonophores so I wanted to paint some of those. Also I was looking at some Jap Zbrush artists and was so entranced with how their models looked I copied them.

Having fun is really the only point of drawing. If you're not having fun, then why bother?

I've also made this Coraline piece I'm really proud of, based mostly on the book, which I prefer to the film.
