You got a shit hand with autism and fibromyalgia, but you're a sensitive loving person and a great artist, and those illnesses haven't been able to stop that 👍🏾 Who we are and what we create mean everything

Were just as fucked in England, for a while the tories were declaring all sorts of people "fit to work" people in coma's (no joke) people with severe autism or downs syndrome, people who couldn't move their arms or legs etc.
It was a fucking epidemic, i swear to god I would hear about at least 4 suicides a week because of it (it was probably way more but that was just the ones I heard about).
Yup. And I've been fighting with them a good chunk of this year because they've been messing with my benefits. For a couple of months, I didn't have any health coverage at all because I lost my food stamps due to paperwork nonsense and I had to choose between health insurance and food. It was riveting amounts of fun.
(It goes without saying that the money I do get still keeps me very thoroughly at the poverty line. I make it work.)
You're sweet. Thanks. <3 It's more that I'm a stubborn ass, honesty.

That is something I fear greatly, yes
Jesus man, i respect your attitude towards that, I'm known for breaking down in circumstances like that, the last time my family went completely broke I had a mental break down and had to cover it up.
Seriously fuck financial stress.

Oh, I flipped out for sure. Just like everyone with autism, I don't handle sudden change very well. But I eventually had to hunker down, get on the phone and deal with it. It just took forever and hours upon hours on hold.
Alright heres what you need
Tub of bleach
comfortable place to die
I promise you that even though it will hurt incredibly, the real pain of having to be bored will die faster than you.
Yeah i need to hunker down right now, my family is falling apart and in financial free fall, i need a job and I need to start helping them out and slowly working to get out of the house, my brother is 25 and in the exact same position as me, still living with us, I won't fucking be like that, if I'm living with my mum and dad at 25 I will hang myself.
Ps that last part wasn't knocking older people who live with their parents, times are tough thats just how I personally feel about my situation, i can't stand the idea of burdening them much longer.

Huh, fair enough. And fuck anyone with so little empathy and/or intelligence to say shit like that. If someone says they can't do something because of an actual diagnosed illness, they can't fucking do it. Ugh. Sorry you have to deal with so much shit pal, you really don't deserve it <3
I understand. I'm on my own but I don't think I can take care of myself much longer and am in the position of having to move back in with my mom (which would be torturous). I keep telling myself I'll jump off a cliff first. It's a horrible thought.
Thanks, breh. People don't really understand chronic illnesses and pain until they have them themselves. And I hope they never do. I just got used to people saying shit out of sheer ignorance.
TBH I simply need to get out more but living with my parents kinda mess with that and also not having money. Florida can't come soon enough tbh.

Just stay optimistic about shit.

What sucks for me is I have no idea with my life besides put in a bunch of applications and hope I get hired.
My ability to learn and remember important things suck beyond measure. I start to wonder if going to college would be worth it.
I really should hire one of you to teach me how to program and shit. I just hope you have the patience of a saint. Having ADD sucks ass beyond measure.

You should try youtube tutorials. You can go at your own pace and replay stuff if needed. I did hello world a basic calculator and a pacman clone before dropping it. lol

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who picked up on this.
Speaking of which, the bombcast video should be up soon for this week.
I really wanna re-do that AM2R stream I did the other day, I think I can nail completion time under 2hr
YOU NEVER FINISHED IT.

It wasn't good enough!
hahaI gotta be at LEAST 1:30 when I first see the Zeta Metroid, if I can nail that, the last sections (Omega Nest and Genetic Labs) are EASY PEASY
Just wanted to +1 this, especially the bolded. We've been talking for a while jb and you're an amazing person. The hand of life you've been dealt is super fucked
Ayo. haha
Yeah man, not having you and jb together in the chat doesn't FEEL right (cue lewd joke), don't think I haven't forgotten about doing a Killer7 stream either. The want for AM2R just too strong though
There are other things you can nail feng.
Me of course.
I will try to be around for the next stream. Been missing those streams dude.

It's not the way I wanted my life to turn out, for sure. But it's not all bad, honestly. It really forced me to realize that lusting after material shit is ultimately, in the end completely immaterial. I really started to prioritize the people in my life and that's kept me going for years, made me a stronger and better person. I probably would have figured this out eventually but it was a good lesson for someone in his early 20s.
And I have little doubt that you'll kick Metroid ass. You always do.

You mean, how many gaffer-made games are there?
Also it kind of goes without saying but I'll say it anyway: josh you are a god damn champion. it is totally inspiring to hear about you pressing on despite the difficult hand you were dealt and it encourages me to do the same.
You are also right about illness giving you perspective. Life is so much more about experiences than it is things and when I get well enough to travel again I'm coming your way for beers and/or coffee

A2MR isn't too difficult, you just have to fight the controls if you are using an XB1 controller (like I did).

I don't have a list myself, but SteamGAF might. You could ask JaseC?

I have never played a game like Devil May Cry.
Should I buy DMC4SE??
Should've I played DMC 1-3??

Go for it. It's quite fun and you dont really need to play the other games to enjoy it. Sure the stories have connection but they are unimportant. If you get it on Steam you might be able to refund it if you don't enjoy it. You have 2 hours to decide if you like it or not (Do not pass the 2 hour mark)

Guy wants to buy my SF Giants tickets.
He lives in Nevada but has a private seller that will get the tickets for him.

Honestly, once Trump gets trounced here in November, he should go to France. He'd be far more successful.
