          Why not reach out to people? I've been to some low points myself. Surrounding myself with good people and reaching out to family is what lifted me out of my hole. Unless you've got physical/medical conditions which make living agony you can overcome anything. The mind can be a prison but no trauma is greater than the love and kindness you will find if you seek it

      Please don't do it at the shooting range. You have no idea how much it traumatizes the other people there and even worse if someone brings their son to shoot their first .22 rifle. If you're going to have a nice day then please do it in the privacy of your own home so no one except the paramedics will see. Doing it at the range is incredibly selfish. I know you're hurting and I implore you to make true changes in your life instead of the rut you are in now in order to have the desire to go on (I used to wake up wondering if today would be the day I finally find enough motivation to finally go through with killing myself, I am 100% aware of what you are going through) and I promise you that it does get better, but you do actually need to put in the time and effort.

You will achieve literally nothing by doing this, there will always be another person to take their place.

          Leftists view everything through the lense of a power struggle, where the powerful constantly oppress the weak. If you've worked up ant amount of money or power it's because in the grand scheme you stole it from those who work harder and need it more than you, therefore they think they are in the right to just take it back. This is the actual core of the communist belief system. Don't ask them what happens when they become the oppressor though

          Church worked for me the best but if you don't want to connect that way then just going out to random Cafe's and bars works too. Something as simple as "How's your day going?" Can lead to some incredible conversations. Some people have so much bottled up they'll tell you in detail how their life is falling apart, they hate their job, relationships on the rocks/just had a breakup or even more. Empathize with their situation. Relate it to a struggle of your own. You'd be surprised how much people enjoy speaking with complete strangers. I love conversation but I'm a Kiwi. Not every culture has our same attitude

    >truri translation
    This summer resort near Vaasa swallowed up four Lund girls. Along with their small bones and sunbathed skins, an entire era vanished. Six kilometres of winding coastline, a popular swimming spot in the ’50s; rows of changing cabins, high reeds rustling in the wind. There you can find the era conservatives mourn. Back when parents could send their kids to the beach unsupervised with two reál for ice cream and bus fare in their summer shorts pockets. Worriedly shaking their heads and hiding the news from Messina, Graad, and Gottwald, where – so it seemed to them – every week tiny skeletons were found cast into someone’s furnace.

      It was a popular vacation area just outside of Vaasa that swallowed the four Lund girls. Along with their little bones and tan-lined skin, an entire era vanished. Six kilometres of winding coastline, a swimming spot popular in the fifties; rows of changing cabins, reeds rustling in the wind. Go there and find the age that conservatives long for. When parents could send children to the beach unsupervised, two reál for ice cream and bus fare in the pockets of their summer pants. Mum and dad would shake their heads in worry, keeping their children hidden from the news from Messina, from Graad, from Gottwald, where every week—it seemed to them-someone’s wee skeleton was found buried inside a stove wall. There, every week, someone’s daughter escaped onto the street after thirty years of captivity in a cellar and cried for help.

      Absolutely. The biggest theme/message of the game is overcoming grief. You are entirely responsible for the direction of your life. Drowning in sorrow and trying to escape your pain with alcohol/drugs will only lead to greater hardship. When I played Disco Elysium the first time I was in a toxic relationship and dealing with heavy addiction issues. It helped me

      Yes. I've only been playing DE for about 7 hours now, but the only way I can describe it is love at first sight.

      The writing is great, and it really contorts around whatever you want to be. I actually restarted my game about 30ish minutes in because I kept getting glimpses of physicality skills talking to me, and I loved it. I ditched my shitty generic detective I was playing and instead opted for an alcoholic bruiser. I'm loving it so far.

            It's absolute kino on the same level as Disco Elysium. The first third is entirely world building and can be a bit of a slog. Once you find the person you're looking for, things just escalate. Make sure you put all stats into wis/int/chr regardless of your class.

      I think he's just tired of Harry's shit. Look at his portait. This is a guy who works hard to have his shit together. Suit, tie, the whole thing. He's a professional. Harry has spent like 7 years going to pieces over a bad breakup and self-destructing on a regular basis. He fricks up hard, bumblefricks his way into cracking a case by all outside appearances(remember no one else is aware of Shivers), realizes he's gone too far, makes a round of apologies, tries to sober up and pull himself together, and is right back in the booze and drugs. It's exhausting. The only thing that keeps him from writing Harry off completely is that he was once one of the finest detective in the precinct who worked hard and had his act together, and even when he's face down in a puddle of booze puke and half-processed pills he's still a damn good detective. I dealt with a junkie alcoholic parent my whole life, and the pattern of abuse, anger, lashing out, falling apart, getting into trouble, begging forgiveness, and going right back into the trouble is a very familiar one. He didn't see my Harry stay bone dry and out of drugs for his whole playthrough, only permitting himself the occasional cigarette, all he sees is a near decade of a familiar pattern going around once again.

    I honestly don't know what to do with my life. I managed to pass my kali yuga, but now what? I feel utterly aimless. I wish I had little voices in my head like Harry so that I could at least have some direction. I get it that "a path is made by walking on it", but come on.

              Yes he does. She outright tells you that the Moralists are after her and if you arrest her they'll find her and throughout your investigation on her you learn that this is true.

                Klaasje is lying through her teeth the entire conversation
                Klassje is taken away by MoralIntern goons after she's arrested (because he has supernatural powers)

                Yes, that's correct. If we knew that sending a pedophile to jail would result in their death, we should not send them to jail. Your opinion on whether or not pedophiles deserve to live is irrelevant; they were not sent away to be killed and therefore their death is an injustice.

                Just imagine that there was no Shivers check after arresting her. Imagine that her fate is not beamed into your brain by the soul of the fricking City of Revachol itself.

                Your argument has zero weight, then. Because it's literally only that one check that makes you simp for her all the harder. If it was left unanswered, completely ambiguous, you would not be making these shitty arguments. The ONLY thing that says anything happens to her is tantamount to MAGIC.

                If there was no shivers check to confirm that the Moralintern had indeed caught her then the choice would have an ambiguous outcome but the morality behind the decision remains the same. To the best of your knowledge, you are sending a woman that is being hunted to her death. You no longer know with certainty that she does die but that isn't relevant.

                You're meta gaming. All Harry knows is that someone who has been lying to cover their participation in the obstruction of justice in a murder investigation is telling a story about how being punished will lead to their death. You do not take practiced liars at their word when they tell stories about their impending death. At no point in Klaasje's testimony do you suddenly break through to the truth and nothing but, she gives you zero reason to believe anything she says.

                She even tells you to go find her real identity in a safe place and what's there when you find it? Another fake identity. She lied. AGAIN. Even after supposedly breaking down and playing the "I have no more lies left" card, she keeps on fricking lying to you. Shivers is just there to expose the bitter irony of a liar lying herself to her own grave when the truth could've prevented all of it.

      I got out of the IT grind for the same basic reasons. Crap pay, crap leadership, everything is my problem, but any success gets attributed to someone else. Work hard, put on the brave face, smile wide and do the customer service voice, then get 2s and 3s across the board at my yearly review so they can deny me a raise. I quit and went blue collar. I'm outside a lot, I lost 70 pounds, and no one bugs me because I'm usually either somewhere you need a permit to access or I've got ANC earpro on, humming along to nightcore and swinging a 10 pound sledge into a piece of stubbornly secured broken equipment that needs to come loose for literally triple my old rate.

          I'm honestly in the best shape of my life at 35 of all things. Coach Physical Instrument would be proud. I was a chubby, awkward nerd that put on a bunch of weight in college, then even more when I went into IT. Turns out a high stress, low physicality job coupled with stress eating doesn't do your body any favors. I used to groan when getting out of bed and was constantly hurting myself tripping over my own feet. Now I walk about 5-7 miles a day, I can run an eight minute mile and steadily working my way towards seven, and I can easily hoist my own weight in steel. Luckily I'm with a company that appreciates my unique skillset of staggering violence against inanimate objects and technical analysis and troubleshooting, so I'm a "soft" tradesman that only pulls standard work weeks and am encouraged to take time off for both mental and physical health as needed. My manager grumbles sometimes, but in his own words "I'd rather have you here healthy tomorrow than here today and out the rest of the week in worse shape."

    Started DE earlier, only thing I don't like about the game is how hard you can skill into something and still fail checks. I feel like if you're very, very over-invested in something you should be given 100% chances. Failing a 95% check or even just an 80% always leaves me with a bad taste in my mouth.

    Then again on the other hand I also passed an 18% check once and I laughed out loud especially since it resulted in Kim giving me a high five.

      I mean, that's what 80% means. "Very good odds but there's a chance it won't work."

                ...Buddy. Do you not understand how the possessive apostrophe works? In the use of that oath and its many forms (Pete's sake, Christ's sake, etc) there is an entity whose sake is being invoked. The sake is possessed by the entity, thus, the possessive apostrophe is used. Holy shit dude, you're a special level of stupid.

          Talking to the corpse is an Inland Empires check which means it's full on inside his own head and based on things he already knows, or suspects, twisted through the lens of imagination

        I figured it was real because you needed to be sprayed with the pheromones to be able to talk with it. And the voice Harry hears is just how he interprets its pheromone messages. That's why it required an Electrochemistry and Inland check.

          It says right there it barely has the brain power to recognise the world around it, at no point is that thing having a conversation about the history of humanity and the impending extinction event of the Pale, on any level.

            But by your own argument, it could not be saying that as instead Henry would be the one thinking that. As for complex thinking, it appears to be well connected to other's of its species. That along with the fact that it uses and communicates with pheromones makes it similar to ant colonies, which also uses pheromones to achieve levels of thought outside the powers of their brains.

              >it could not be saying that as instead Henry would be the one thinking that
              Yes, the entire conversation is the fullest manifestation of Harry's personality disorder. He has created a new "outside" personality to give a voice to it, to "explain" things he knows but can't quite directly access due to his three day bender. Like the corpse talking about things Harry could easily have learned and then "forgotten" in those three days of binge drinking. In this case it's just a bunch of knowledge about stick insects and the Pale.

              I'd also point out that it also states it lives a solitary life and once ate one of its own children. The closest thing it has to a connection with another living thing is the addiction its neurotoxin causes in the Deserter.

                I don't disagree that Harry had created a personality to give it voice, but the conversation feels to real to simply be something inside Harry's head. With the way it acts around Harry, it felt like there was some kind of connection between the two.

                Also, I would not call what the corpse said as easily learned. That would have required Harry to have done far more investigating and interrogating than what was shown that he did during his drunken bender. A psychic/pale phenomenon would unironically be an easier way of explaining how had gotten that information. Especially since Revachol is located in an area with a growing pale presence.

                The thing is attracted to the pheremones sprayed all over him, it does nothing but stand there the entire time. Kim even says Harry zoned out completely for the duration.

                And the only thing the corpse says that's a stretch is that Communism killed him. Lely fricking Klaasje was common knowledge, in the autopsy you even get a Good Cop point for insisting he was "enjoying himself" at the moment of his death and later learning he died with his dick wet, so "love did me in" is a given. Inland Empire as a whole says a lot of things that are true like Encyclopedia, just filtered through layers of bullshit.

                "Love did me in" specifically refers to the motive of the murder, not the actual murder itself. The common knowledge was that the corpse was hanged by workers as an act of protest, not that he was fricking klajsee. That information was kept hidden to avoid suspicion landing on her. And Harry only arrives after the murder so he wouldn't have known about their relationship.

        The Pale is a stand-in for a lot of things. One of them is climate change. It's a reason why it's so horrifyingly described.
        You go and read Joyce talking about it, and you think:
        >how the FRICK are they just living there, completely aware that the world is slowly dying and there's nothing they can do?
        But we do the same thing. We just have our lives to live, and we can't meaningfully interact with climate change in an individual level. Just like you can go your entire life doing your damndest to be original and one frickass Innocence can show up and great like 3.000 times the novelty you destroyed your entire life in a single day, we can do all the stuff we do to be environmentally responsible and some corpo can show up and dump a billion tons of oil in the Pacific. So we just... ignore it. It never even passes through our heads that the world is collapsing.
        This applies to a lot of things, too. Do you think people didn't just pretend nothing was happening, during military dictatorships? Where every day your neighbor or your family members could vanish? Or during the wars in the middle-east or the Palestinian crisis, where every day an Israelite missle can level your house? Do you think those people worry? Of course they do. But they also try and not care. They try to live their lives despite the fact the world is ending, no matter what this end of the world is.
        It's all they can do.

        The pale is a psychic dumping ground for unresolved angst, it has tendrils in places like the church and the doomed commercial district because these places were always full of people in constant states of despair.

          Disagree. The game isn't about reconciling failure/defeat its about reconciling trauma and heartbreak. The Pale is not a reflection of trauma and heartbreak it's a reflection of your beliefs about spiritualism. If you view it as a reflection of reconciliation it's likely you hope to be reconciled yourself through spiritualism whatever form that may come. Christianity, Islam, Buddhism etc it's obvious you're hoping for that yourself. Tell me you've got true faith and prove me wrong. Go ahead and say it if I truly am

            Mob Psycho is great. FLCL is one of those anime that I watched as a young teen, again in my 20s, and most recently in my 30s, and I've come away with a new interpretation each time regarding the themes. It's truly a masterpiece of the animation art form.

    I'm starting to get better with my life. I have a stable job, been able to buy things I want for my hobbies and saving up for a beater car, probably a corolla or camry.
    I think once I start to stabilize myself, probably look into going to community college just so I have a degree of some sort.
    There's some nights where I just kinda fall into despair and want it all to end but if I do that, everything I worked for and all the effort and love my family and friends put into me would go to waste, so I don't wanna do that to them.

Now I'm starting to realize that maybe the friends I made in the Army are the ones I wanna spend more time with since I'm usually second fiddle to my friends at home. Got a dead end job til college starts so hopefully once I start school I can socialize again and meet new people but I can be pretty abrasive. So its not all bad but I just can't help but feel incredibly lonely for some reason. Oh well, at least the internet let's me play video with the boys still serving, and Anime Expo is coming soon so I've got one thing to look forward to in the short term.

      Do not under any circumstances take SSRI's. Absolute israelite shit that will make you feel like a zombie. Connect with others around you. Go out and get some sunlight. Improve your physical health. It's not an easy fix but pills are no fix at all. You're still going to have anxiety but if you have friends/family to lean on when you're struggling (because some parts of living alone will be a struggle) you can get through it

        Be more specific please? How do I make friends at 27? I work on a team of two other people that are constantly busy. I'm too nervous to go to clubs alone. I have two friends that live in town and one isn't adventurous at all, and the other never invites me to do anything despite me showing interest in accompanying him - although I realize this is with a separate group of friends. Can't get laid either because I live at home and I've been terrified of sex since I was 17.

Antidepressants and mood stabilizers both are fricking horrible and should only be offered after lifestyle changes.

      SSRI's should only be taken if your literally at the "can get out of bed or shower because your to depressed" stage and only then take them only until you get the momentum going on being a person again.
      Like 80% of the time depression is more a symptom of Shit Life Syndrome that causes minor brain damage which can be healed over time by not falling back into a shit life.
      The other 20% is like actual brain issues that you need to figure out how to work around for dopamine but at that point your better off just micro dosing on brain altering drugs and hoping that Universal RNG gets you into a better state of mind.
      Really if you need them just take them till you get into a better situation where your actually out and functioning but know that your going to need to get off them eventually and the sooner the better.

        Sleeping around won’t make you happy, anon. I personally believe doing so fricks anyone up in one way or another, but it’s specially harmful to sensitive autists, which most of us are. The best advice I can give you is to be the kind of person you think your ideal woman deserves to be with. Not for her, but because living closely aligned to your values will bring you contentment by itself. The cuties who may notice that and feel attracted by it are just a plus.

      >I tried to rush to a relationship with that person just because of minute things in common.
      Yeah, rushing into a relationship is usually a disaster in my experience, especially because women who enthusiastically accept getting into one out of the blue with some guy they don’t even know well are usually bpd. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t value similarities and feel excited about getting to know her. This is just me, but after two terrible relationships I decided I’ll either have the kind of cheesy relationship I always liked hearing about or nothing at all. Life’s too short to settle on the important things. Cool Johnny btw.
