@Tony imo only reason to pay for benefits is if you're taking care of a wife/kids. Especially kids. If you're just a single dude you can just tough it out.

Probably bad advice but that's what I've been doing lol.

@p @vriska yeah these are all pretty accurate translations actually lol

@Labubu what did you vote for?

@LittleTom i mean i've like, watched so much stuff about ff7 on youtube with all the lore and theories and stuff lol. i'm sure it would be different if i actually play it but i just don't think i'd get AS MUCH out of it. i've heard literally nothing about 9. the only things i know about 10 are that it has blitzball, tidus has a weird laugh, and he might be dead or something.

@LittleTom i've always loved the soundtracks for all of these games lol, way before i even touched a final fantasy game period.

the thing with 7 is that i already know the entire story lol, so if i'm playing for the story that feels kind of like a formality. i'm most drawn to 10, but 8 and 9 seem pretty interesting too. i've heard lots of good things about 9 but man that art style is really offputting to me lol. i'd probably get used to it though.

Finished my second playthrough of Silent Hill f. The NG+ is actually pretty different and adds a lot to the story. Like, a lot of stuff gets completely recontextualized, through different cutscenes and new notes you can pick up. There are some different areas and new puzzles as well.

I played with some mods this time around to make things a little less tedious (no weapon durability, higher stacking for items, lower upgrade cost, longer respawn timer which turns out wasn't actually even necessary lol), since my main focus is just getting all the endings. Right now I have ending 1, 3, and 5. I can load a save file to get 2, and then I'll have to play through the game again to get 4. So that one won't happen for another little bit. Even then, it won't be too bad since I have this OP weapon now lol.

It's probably because I already had the shaders built up, but the performance of the game had absolutely no issues whatsoever this time around and I never had any visual bugs. It was a much better experience all around.

I still like the game quite a bit, don't know what everyone else is smoking. Maybe I'm the one smoking shit, but either way I still enjoy it.

If you're going to do a playthrough, I absolutely would recommend getting the item stack mod so you don't have to constantly run back to save points all the time to exchange them. Durability mods aren't super necessary, but I think it would be good to increase the durability by like 2x or something. Now that they added Casual action difficulty, I would actually recommend playing on that just because the combat isn't the most engaging thing in the world. The story and atmosphere are where its at here.

What's the best of the mainline PS1/PS2 Final Fantasy games? I haven't played any of them other than 12 and I've never beaten that one.

@Mr_NutterButter @vriska it do be like that, gotta just keep chugging along.
I've been losing a lot of weight while simultaneously being able to lift more and I'm hoping I can get to the point where I'm gaining soon. The body is weird lol.

@Mr_NutterButter I don't want to

@teto @jeff TL;DR i basically left because it didn't sit right with me spiritually. it wasn't until after i had already left that i started finding stuff like the CES letter and learning about the freemasonry stuff and abuse cover-ups, etc. it was never because of the actual people in the church or that i wanted to do things against the commandments/word of wisdom or anything like that.

i kind of always felt off spiritually but just went along with it because it was THE culture here. basically everyone i knew was mormon, my entire family was mormon, etc. if i left i knew it wouldn't be good.

when it came time to go on my mission, that's when i really started to struggle because i really felt like i should not go. i had prayed about it over and over again and just kept getting the answer that i was on the wrong path. i talked to a bunch of different local church leaders about it and they all gave me the same boilerplate "all men are required to go on a mission and you're being tempted by the devil." parents told me they would kick me out if i didn't go on a mission and i was fully prepared to basically just run away.

but i ended up doing it anyway, after a lot of back and forth. pretended to be excited about it. went to the temple and that was legitimately the worst i've ever felt in my life spiritually speaking. my family that went with me couldn't stop talking about how great they felt and i felt like complete garbage. when i was in the MTC (missionary training center) i failed the emotional screening so i was put in therapy and the therapist basically just said "pray to Jesus and you'll feel better." i got extremely sick, like some of the worst sickness i've had in my life. when i got out into the field i was only there for 3 days before i basically was like, well, i feel so horrible inside that i'm either going to kill myself or go home and leave the church, and thankfully i chose the latter.

when i got back home my parents didn't let me be with any of my siblings alone and i had to sleep on a mattress in their bedroom for about 2 or 3 months. everyone kept trying to pressure me to go back to church and go to therapy and shit like that and it took a very long time for people to stop pushing me so much.

i had no idea what i believed in after that, just knew that it wasn't mormonism. i pretty much went the agnostic path. i don't really identify with any religion or anything like that, but I do love Jesus. people have said i could be like an agnostic Christian or something like that but idk man i don't really like labeling myself. i'm not a fan of religion in general and i don't think Jesus was either.

@teto i'm still mad i lost my virginity because i can't be a wizard anymore man fuck
