I finished FC3 yesterday. It wasn't very good.
I should try and finish something else while i'm on my 1 week off. Not sure what next.
Did you get far into GTA5? That has basically eaten up all my time.
Starting to get fucking irritated by the little quirks.
Trevor cannot buy a helipad or airplane hanger in Los Santos, yet Michael & Franklin can.
Also you cannot share garages/hangers/docks between characters. Which means a lot of swapping and driving to get what you want.
Trevor is banned from the airport for life, only because he can't buy a hanger.
Cops will be called to your current location if you stand still for too long.
Cops will be called to your current location if you shoot a lone hiker in the middle of the wilderness in the back of the head with a silenced pistol.
Cops sometimes check bushes. Sometimes they don't.
Cops will search an area for way way way too long at 1/2 star. I can understand a major manhunt for 60+ seconds if you have shot someone but fuck, some scuzzy bitch doesn't like me reading my text messages standing still on a footpath and I need to hide behind a dumpster for a minute while the cops scour the area for whatever fucking thing they would charge you for? Which results in losing money and all your weapons? For standing there looking at your phone? Obama's America.

Also, as someone who never really played on public servers, but knows the reputation because I've been gaming for so damn long, but still. Damn. Time from joining to first gay slur over mic was about 4.5 seconds. Time to "I'll shank you for real asshole" was about 8 seconds. Fucking teenage boys eh?
Yeah that's why I don't have a mic/headphones on consoles. Even playing L4D2 with Kritz was enough to learn half a dozen or so new racial slurs
Also thanks everyone for the kind words about my comics. You have no idea how nice that is to hear right now.
I can honestly say that I have really enjoyed them lately. The topical ones have been brilliant, when you put a part of yourself/your life into a comic it really shows. After all, who hasn't stood on a piece of fucking Lego? That fucking hurts! Even if not Lego, every parent has stood on some kind of toy that just happens to direct trauma right into the soft, meaty spot.
Our son has taken to hiding pencils or other small, hard to notice items under rugs just to fuck with us :/
It's worrying that your sister hasn't been able to get the help that she clearly needs. Even more worrisome is that she doesn't seem to be able to have that forced upon her, as bad as that may sound, it may be the only way she can be helped. When you were telling the part where she was evaluated by the psych and they were informed about her actions not being a one-off, I thought "yes, now they'll have to help her!" It's frustrating, to say the least, that she was released given what they were told. My jaw literally dropped as I read that. It was my understanding that if someone is demonstrably dangerous to either themselves or others that action must be taken. It's part of the country protecting its citizens.
I'm just glad that the police are involved now, so hopefully they keep an eye on her and don't less shit escalate again.
I'm never shocked at how mental health is treated here, I work in an industry that profits from it so I've seen it all sadly.
Not to say we aren't making progress, we have come a long way in that regard over the last decade. Just a long way to go.
I hope you can eventually put your mind at ease about where you are in all of this and the day-to-day with you family. Although we haven't met, I am sure you're a wonderful husband and father and you don't need to question yourself there in any way. The fact that this worries you speaks volumes. We can ultimately choose who we become and choosing the right friends is integral to how we turn out. With a stable and loving home life, your son has every chance to turn out exactly as you'd hope. While this may not help, I feel it is worth mentioning.
Yeah I know, I know I'm doing the right thing but there is never a way to silence the "what if" voice in your head, even though I know it's a balancing act to keep things together regardless.
Does anyone know the cheapest place to buy David Cage 3? Might grab it after uni.
Pretty sure I linked the other day, Big W has it for
$68 (if you guys have Big W down there).
