BritGAF |OT6| Dark Souls? More like Arse Holes

£26 a month is a lot for a streaming service and I may be uncultured swine but I find it really hard to tell the difference in FLAC files.

Apple music really is totally legit and rad.

Does the new amp go to 11?

I couldn't until I switched to my "Hi-Fi Dad" headphones, even then I'm completely open to it being psychosomatic.

10, as far as I know. Which means there'll be a bunch of 11ers who can always go louder :-(

How does Tidal work with paying artists, then? My big issue with Spotify (and the primary reason I don't pay for Premium) is that I could give them £10 and listen to nothing but Metronomy for a month, and yet half my money will end up going to Kanye West.

It's why I still buy CDs. At least that way all the money you spend goes to people who were at least vaguely involved in releasing or distributing that specific piece of music.

Tidal pays a bit more on the normal rung and double on the HD rung. Definitely not worth it unless you go HD.

don't feel like a swine, blind tests have shown almost nobody can hear the difference.

See above. Maybe not worth it even if you do go HD. I'm just testing it out, that's all. It's a month free so I thought I'd give it a try. I can tell a difference, but it's so subjective. Like I said, not sure it's worth the extra money and like Poetronic said, Apple Music has some really good features.

Got destiny for my ps4,i have caved

Oooo. Let me know if you want a friend. I think Jed + Jimbor + SelfishPizza still play quite regularly. I'm less so these days but can always be persuaded for a raid or a Prison of Elders.

I have next week off too, where's worth going for a few days?

I was going to go skydiving on a whim but it was more expensive than I thought it'd be, at £250.

Random, exotic suggestion: Iceland or Morocco? (they're probably both expensive relative to periphery Eurozone countries).

You should look at booking a flight on a glider. Great experience, did it years a go and I loved it (planes / flying are one of my things). Not TOO expensive either, considering.
 
That does sound interesting... got any links I can check out?

try exotic manchester.

But I want to go somewhere nice
ohmygodiamjoking!

It's my birthday in a week and I've got fuck all people to go with so seriously, if anyone has any recommendations of places I can go on my own and not be totally miserable for a few days I'd appreciate them. It's why skydiving was a thing in my head. It's a thing I can go do alone and actually have an interesting time.

I'll probably just go home and see my family or something.

Not really mate, all depends on where you live. If you just Google gliding clubs in your local area then there should be a couple of options. But for example this is the one that I used.

Roughly they are about £100 for a flight, the down side is the flight can vary from 20 minutes to 45 depending on the weather (gliders use thermals to stay up in the air so the warmer it is the longer, in theory, you'll be up for *adjusts glasses*)

But I can vouch for it being a great experience.

I didn't drink a single irn bru. Nor whisky. Nor fried mars bars. Nor hagis.

it was when all is said and done a 1200 and seventy something mile round trip. Four hundred up, four hundred down. And the rest is the in between bits.

Fuck.

Do you want to talk?

Yeah, maybe in a day or two. They wanted to keep me in but have agreed to me coming home provided I go to some appointment thing tomorrow.

Right now I'm just dead inside tbh and disappointed I wasn't successful.


Ashes- quetiapine. It's a prescription anti psychotic. I took a mound and when they didn't work enough took the rest, woke up in hospital next day.

Suicidal ideation is one of the side effects I suspect.

Probably best if you move off it to something else.

bitch I'm taking calls.
I'm sorry sploatee.

As an aside, how come anti-depressants and anti-psychotics have side-effects like causing suicidal thoughts? What kind of fucked up shit is that? It's like how cancer treatments basically equal poisoning your body and hoping the cancer dies before you do.

Humanity's grasp of medicine feels so pathetic sometimes =(

Thanks guys. Sorry to downbeat the thread so much. It's easier sometimes just to use the Internet like this. We're just trying a day at a time. It's hard because my instinct is to try again. I'm not sure how far I was off on Friday, the whole think hasn't sunk in yet. X

the brain is a super complicated thing, i suppose.

Ahem

Sorry about that guys. I'll try not to post too much about it. Crisis team visiting at 11, it's so shit. I wouldn't wish this on anybody. Waking up in the morning and then you have like 2 minutes where you feel ok before your brain starts cooking up plans and methods. Sigh.

-

Streets of Rage 2, eh? It's quite good in the 3ds?

I played Journey last night, it helped. I'm going to try playing a bunch of those kind of games, maybe it'll help. I want to go meet up with new band tonight but my brain might just pack in from all the new stimuli.

I'm not sure I can 😕.

I might be being put in a crisis shelter for a little while.

I wouldn't threat the shelter too much, I know a fair bit about them and actually they're filled with some wonderful people and actually sometimes the best place you can be in.

The idea sounds shitty, but being in one you'll see they're a really great support network.

Thanks. The whole thing just makes me feel like even more like a failure. X

Failure? Your body just survived a deliberate attempt by your mind to kill it self.

* Be kind to your self.
* set up a safety plan
* know your triggers. & avoid going down those routes.
* Work out how to manage suicidal thoughts.
* set up a good support network

Are you a doctor?

I'm trying. To be honest I thought I'd taken enough on Friday to at least have a decent shot at not being here. I guess not. I guess the shelter may help. At the moment my moods are so all over the place I don't know what's going on.

Depressing thought though, death is actually really easy. Every time I've ended up in hospital it just goes black and it's like going to sleep. Good times!

on a completely unrelated and unimportant note, i have so far spent my little week off by purchasing a playstation 4. oh.

Wahoo!!!

You know what to do. I'm 20 hours in and it's starting to get good now - it's a bit of a slow burner but the more the world starts to unravel the more it makes sense. It's also way more like Demon's Souls than Dark Souls, but has some nice additions.

gonna trade in a load of playstation stuff and get bloodborne, batman and dragons age. yep, gonna 'double dip' because i am a stupid idiot.
also i told my partner that i bought it and she told me she was going to get me one for our anniversary, which is so out of the blue and crazy and thoughtful and now I ruined it. so yep!

anyway don't go anywhere splotee, we can talk bloodborne soon!
