Definitely not, I played GoW 2018 first. I loved it so much that I went back and played every other previous GoW before GoW Ragnarok came out. The others are very different (but still very fun) games, and it definitely makes you appreciate Kratos’ story better, but they are by no means essential.

It’s from the best car commercial of all time

I see this rhetoric a lot and I really dislike it and find it actively harmful to people with ADHD.

ADHD, at least mine, would absolutely still be a mental illness outside of modern society. My doesn’t care if I’m remembering where I put down my phone or where I put down my sandwich, I still misplace them either way. At work being without my medication makes it difficult to keep track of my responsibilities. At home it makes it difficult to keep track of doing laundry, washing dishes, cleaning the house. You don’t suddenly lose all responsibilities and idle tasks without a modern society, your responsibilities and tasks just become different. And my ADHD couldn’t give two shits what those responsibilities and idle tasks are, I’m going to struggle with them either way without medication.

Dismissing ADHD as not a mental illness but a symptom of modern society is not only incorrect at it’s most basic level, it also implies that people like me could be “normal” IF “x, y, or z” conditions were met. That idea is just blatantly untrue and just perpetuates the dismissive and uncompromising stance that many people take towards individuals with ADHD.

I don’t have a computer nice enough to play games, so I’m going to have to wait for it to come out on console again anyway.

You sound like you’ve already closed your mind to the discussion, but in case you’re actually still willing to healthily engage in the discussion here is a really good video about why calling people who utilize AI in their work “hacks and grifters” is a very narrow minded (and often factually incorrect) way of looking at AI utilization.

I love how that article had plenty of other explanations for why a person might wear out their heel counter, but you jumped straight to him having deformed feet lol.

When I was 15 my grandfather took me out into the woods to teach me to drive stick in a 30,000 lb dump truck. I had never driven anything bigger than a golf cart before. My space to work with was a clearing maybe three times the size of the truck. I did not learn to drive stick that day.

I’ve had my 40 oz Contigo for maybe 6 months. I honestly don’t like it that much because it leaks a little, but it was the only design at Walmart that I liked and I don’t exactly have the money to buy a different one.

I’m genuinely shocked that you’re the only one in this thread who picked up on “I’d never heard of narcissism until I recently watched some YouTube videos and concluded that both my parents and several of my relatives are narcissists.”.

I’m not going to say it’s impossible, but I’m highly skeptical.

Regardless of the reliability of the definitions used, I really do think you have provided the best advice in this thread. OP, if you read this, I agree with them full-heartedly. Seak out whatever counseling you can and look to more than just YouTube / the internet for information.

Really? You find it accurate that many people who want biological children want them over adopting because they dislike/hate orphans?

That might be those people’s answer to why they wouldn’t adopt, but I’d put a lot of money down that the majority of people who want their own kids feel that way for reasons that are far more nuanced, and far less rooted in hate, than “fuck orphans”.

Wow, that’s a really horrible and judgemental take.

Oh yeah. That one caught me off guard as a child. Did not expect to leave that theater crying. 9/10 movie though.

Believing in God and believing the Earth is 8000 years old are not the same thing btw

Wow holy shit I’m glad you went to the vet, urinary blockages are a life or death emergency. I’m a senior veterinary student and your description just screames blockage, but I was worried I was late to comment since your post is already a day old!

Yeah, part of it is that I’m in a medical field and still in school. Unfortunately my hours are going to get worse with internship/residency before they get better. Even still, 4x10-3 would never (honestly could never) happen in my field.

He’s not getting downvoted for presenting an interesting analysis of the Christian themes in the movie, he’s getting downvoted for claiming the use of those themes makes the movie Christian propoganda.

What job do you have that 4x10-3 would be a reasonable option? Coming from someone who works 5x6a-6p (though this week it’s been more like 6a-8p) those hours seem like a fairytale.

You just use toilet paper to dry

Technically they’re just over the 5000 monthly listeners limit (6955), but Xanthochroid is still relatively unknown and my favorite band of all time, so I can’t not share them.
