    First World Problems

    Frying in cast iron is really tricky, that looks as good as I'd expect from someone that's not cooking professionally like that.

    First World Problems

    Here's the quick version.... "Honey, polite people don't fart around others - women tend to be more polite than men - and some women are really stupid and exaggerate the heck out of things"

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    Not fond of EA, but considering how much language assistance I needed even in Germany with 4 yrs under my belt, I imagined Japan was similar or worse.

    Depression

    Well, gaming and other "constant problem solving" situations do that for me - but it's just self medicating the problem rather than addressing the core issue. (And honestly turns the gaming compulsive and not really fun most times - I think I'm making addiction quotes there aren't I? Thankfully...

    Depression

    Ah cool, yea you could've just said CBT fits mostly, they had us watch This Emotional Life from PBS and it covered a lot of concepts. I'll have to see if my therapist is familiar with the concept or can refer me to another that would. (Note: excellent program for understanding all the different...

    I wasn't excusing it or implying it's easy, but it must regularly get in the way. Even if it's something like making a bilingual friend.

    Depression

    And I'm noticing even with no one really giving me any tasks or worries, my brain during idle times is going back to running me through the past to try to improve things or attempt to fix things that are really bad risk vs reward. Ugh... only been out 36 hrs or so and starting to feel some...

    To be fair, it does seem weird to live there and not have the ability to read it or a translation resource on hand. You probably are a fraction of a fraction of their potential sales there.

    Heat often cooks out to a degree, not to mention you could've thinned the mix it was in with buttermilk or something.

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    Shrug - you made a statement to imply he intentionally held off the review for Destiny to "correct it" when reality is he always holds them off for that sort of timeframe. That's all I was correcting. Perhaps you're right and it's intentional - he does tend to play through complete games though...

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    Uh - 1 to 2 weeks after the game comes out is his normal review timeframe rather than rushing to get it out for launch and half-assing it - that's part of why his reviews tend to encompass full games better than most.

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    Did you actually listen to his review or did you just skip to the end on Destiny? He says that it's a solid game that could become a 9 or 10/10 (or something like that, I'm not rewatching the whole thing for the quote exactly, but I remember that from watching it ages ago) with more time and...

    Psst - DA:O was a good game, but it wasn't perfect, it had MANY flaws.

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    Well, it's not fine it was made in 18 months, but yea - the core of it was good enough that if they'd had a proper development schedule (3-4 years, right?) it would've likely been polished into a masterpiece. For how quick they pumped it out it was pretty amazing, but there's no reason they...

    He insulted me trying to learn something in 5 days while super emotional while handicapped quite a bit - keep in mind the other 3 bad fingers kind of just hang there and get in the way - it's not like I've got only 2 fingers, it's like 2.5 per hand with the other 2 fingers getting in the way...

    Well bridges will be burnt if I don't show for sure. Sitting in with the doctor now and he's saying up to 72 hrs i'll be stuck. If so I'll have to miss it I think. Can't drive it in that time.

    Yea, do those sometimes when I go to a place with a Coke Freestyle machine - one of those combos that doesn't sound great at first blush, but works.

    Dunno man, your dad's "playing along with it" thing really hit home with me - that's always me - nervous in crowds etc. If I hear someone talking in a room even looking remotely in my direction I worry they're being critical of me (just random people). Etc. I've been bottling alot of emotion...

    Man, fucking shit just continues to mount - and still waiting to hear back on a few funeral preparations so still can't hospitalize quite yet. Fucking brother, my idol for my entire goddamn life just tore into me because I had the nerve to ask him if he could help me to tie my tie for the...

    Honestly, I'm assuming he's just taking Skyrim's timeframe and assuming it's basically Skyrim - pretty sure Skyrim took me right around 20-25 hrs but then another 150+ of just dicking around getting extra stuff done in the world.

    You sure you're not talking about me here? Shit man... whatever boat you're in is the same one I am or definitely in an adjacent canal. (Well, besides dick jokes - mine's more observational humor... like the 7-11 I saw once with a "Now Open" sign... it's a fucking 7-11 it's never closed...)

    There was a host of problems with DA2 and Legacy didn't fix all of them (although some) - but yea, I'll looking forward to DA:I - if they screw this up I'll be in the Utnayan camp for Bioware again though, but it looks like they're doing everything right by taking their time this time.

    Depression

    Minor update: Getting some more of the funeral travel plans set up, then heading out to the local ER to see an emergency psych. Called up and they won't force involuntary admission unless I'm in a stage past my own - so shouldn't have to worry about it interfering with the family. Wish me...

    Depends on which, I've found there's plenty that come up regardless of desire even after using the disable option on the ... thing in the corner. Some of the widgety things really have a mind of their own. But I personally appreciate the functionality enough to just swipe those away when they...

    Depression is damn confusing I'll agree 100%. All this psychological stuff is, my dad dying plus these quick friends we made down here after the move shutting us out without even trying to explain why, and now them attempting to firebomb the other friendships we've made through that Meetup group...

    Venting is quite possibly something that is part of taking steps towards doing something about it - acknowledging the problem is a step towards getting the impetus to get proper help. See my response above? Before I started venting that shit I wasn't committed to seeking the help of a counselor...

    Christ, Kreugen - reading stuff like that hits somewhat close to home (not so much the Dad part - but the effects on you - my causes were different) - you're involved with a psychiatrist or something for that stuff right? I'm thinking I really should start with one as well, and assuming that's...

    Holy crap, my dad was a huge fan of theirs - and my dad died the day before and apparently the same age of 77. So weird. (And Parkinson's is what took my dad, so not even that far off in the cause of death...)

    Grumpy Cat's Worst Christmas Ever

    If it's like all the other stuff they've done so far, really doesn't make them anything substantial - small amount for travel fees and hotels goes to them and all the rest goes to animal charities from what I'd seen when they first started doing talk shows and selling small trinkets. Maybe...
