Eons ago on Skype (or maybe it was in this thread) Lisa talked about how she once had a headache and masturbated to relieve it, but it ended up making it worse.

I mean. Increasing blood flow to relieve a headache doesn't seem like a good idea.
It's a terrible idea.

I mean that is kinda how aspirin works.

Aspirin doesn't jolt your brain at the same time, though.
Every time I've gotten greased up when having a headache I've ended up much worse. Pulsating temples and everything. Hangover sex is never a good idea.

Umm do you have any idea how easy it is to drop money on kids
I spent $150 on the last ones birthday and please God don't ask me about Christmas
And I'm just the uncle
I think I want to take a class on watercolor. Considering I still hated myself during my last drawing class I cent imagine it would help with that but at least maybe I could have more direction
Actually maybe busting out the chalk pastels would be nice. Wish I had a lot more color though
Ahh but its too messy. No way that goes well
Art is literally the most stressful thing ever

It's easy to avoid spending money on kids when you don't like them.
Why? (I didn't look into my employer's background when I worked there but it was a bad time nonetheless)
But still, $450?
I fuckin' pay for everything. I don't care though
/sugardaddy I guess
again, I could take a 7 year old or whatever to a store and spend $450 with my eyes closed
On school supplies?
Will you be my sugar daddy?
Or if the kid was me. I never wanted anything. Id have three item long christmas lists which were basically a game, a lego set, and a book. Id be set for the year after that

I played a little over three hours today. It's really solid. Not as characterful nor well written as Double Fine games tend to be, but much better designed mechanically. The controls are really nice, the environment is fun to explore, the combat is decent, and the puzzles are great. I dunno. It's been a good, strong distraction for me today.
Do you ever worry about that being the only reason someone likes you?
you get a kid into a store with a mandate to pick things out and yeah, easy, you only spend less than that if you say no a lot
what's the recipient of the sugar daddy called? in any case I only have one of those at any one time, it's like the sith

Metroid money $$$$$$$$$$$
OKay, I'll check it out, maybe later tonight. Sounds interesting
Do you ever worry about that being the only reason someone likes you?
No, since I'm mostly joking
I mean, I'm sure the fact that I'm not broke and have a quiet place to myself have to factor in, how can it not, but what can I do about that?
I only watched a stream of it and it seemed like a lot of the puzzles didn't have a specific way in mind for a solution. But you just kinda mess with it till you get angles that work. Not really a fan of that for puzzle games.
Though some of the larger view for the puzzles seemed neat like switching between different robots to accomplish different things.
My parents issued me ultimatums all the time, usually with the promise that whatever I didn't pick would still be there when I came back. Sometimes it was, sometimes it wasn't. The important thing is that I never saw that Sonic Adventure 2 Sonic action figure again and that Babbages became an EB games which became the Gamestop that it is now.
The solution is to become a decent negotiator.

I used to have long-ish lists, but I got more modest growing up

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
It's nice to be able to afford things.
And by things I mean beer, to numb the pain of living.

oh, okay. It's something I struggle with sometimes. I think it's why I tend to prefer hanging out with people who are more like me.
Yeah, I like it because it's not always puzzles with exact solutions, and there are often several ways to do something, but it's not immediately obvious what the thing to do is. Plus the world design is so complex that navigation itself becomes a puzzle!

i.e. the rich?
The puzzles seem more angry birds to me than portal though. Like figuring it out a different way than intended isn't some clever thing using the environment differently, its more like if you brute force it something might eventually might work due to the thousands of different combinations of positions
But yeah the navigation looks amazing. Seems like a very good take on metroid style exploration though a lot more guided (and guided by puzzles!)
Sorry if I'm messing with your fun. I didn't have anyone to share my observations with when I was watching it
I'd like to have friendships where people put in equal amounts of effort but that doesn't happen very often. It's gotten to the point that I expect so little of other people that virtually any form of effort is genuinely surprising. My aunt surprising me by sending me that replacement Coke bottle with my name on it was one of the nicest things someone's done for me in a while.

Welcome to The Other Drunk Thread
P much.
Just replace beer with wine.
One of society's problems is that rich people section themselves off from poor people and no one understands eachother
I've heard some girls say (Erica's even said this) how humorous it is when men will find ways to display their status to her by talking about their income or something expensive they own or whatever
I don't do any of that, so I don't know what else I can do
I'll be generous at times but in the case of early relationships I consciously am not going to put pressure on it by spending a lot of money.Professor Beef

Just got back from D&D, shit was rad
One of the party launched an airship with a couple of improvised shitty molotovs into another, bigger airship, jumped off onto the airship everyone else was, walked over to the pilot and started making out with her while the two airships collided and blew up
While this was being described I put on Don't Wanna Miss A Thing by Aerosmith
It was glorious

...I need some context...for all of this
Installed Headlander and preordered No Man's Sky -- After feeling ambivalent about that game since its annoucement, I finally gave in and as often is the case zeitgeist is what pushed me over. Everyone's going to be playing this highly ambitious gimmicky thing, so I want to share in that for better or for worse.

Perch for The Last Guardian instead.
Oh that's been preordered forever, child. Shadow of the Colossus is one of my favorite games. I love Ueda + co.

It kills me that they didn't manage to ship a product during the entire bloated 7th console generation.
So I went out tonight with some old friends and had a jolly time seeting them again. We ran into a 'buddy' of mine with whom I went to Shanghai (actually we graduated together from the same high school and even started the same bachelor program simultaneously). We planned our stay in China together, travelled during winter break in south east Asia, I invited him over for Christmas to my flat...and then he doesn't acknowledge the necessity to properly greet me. Like, dude...really? I know you've built up your own social environment during our stay and you started to isolate yourself from me after the second week in Shanghai and had plans behind my back to travel with somebody else despite me stating and reminding you of us teaveling together during holiday. At least I know now what kind of person he really is.

financial stability is certainly a part of it (without the showy status partI don't care about that), but I would be sorely amiss to claim that finance is the only privilege I've been given. It's easier to hang out with people who you're not embarrassed to be yourself around. Like it's embarrassing for me to talk about days when things are going really well for me in this thread when there are other people who constantly go on about their depression or job problems or illness or a lack of confidence or relationship drama or death of family. Because it's not fair. And the very last thing I want to do is make light of other people's problems, so it's just easier to avoid confrontation for the most part.
so most of the time we can talk about general issues and interests, and most of the rest of the time I censor myself. But ignoring that disparity is harder to do in real life when you're in it and living it.
(to be clear, I'm not trying to say I think I'm always humble, nor that I think I ought to be. It's a tricky balance)

Yeah. I'm a mess right now and I'm overthinking everything. I've rewritten this response a dozen times because I can't figure out what to say, how to say it, or even why it needs to be said. I can't fix all the world's problems but I can fix some of them, and I try to take note of that when I can. But in the mean time I just want to come home to and spend time with people who love me for who I am, not what I have.
when you say "it's gotten to the point", how did it get that way? Why is your kindness not being reciprocated?
I'd guess it's different watching it than playing it. In any case, it's not at all trial and error if you're paying attention.
Word.
Furthering myself in my career and working towards finishing my degree had helped tons. She hasn't tried to contact me and that's probably for the best as I would most likely explode into a fit of blind rage. I know the only way to get over this is to forgive. And logically I know we were not going to work out but the way she ended things was horrible beyond words.....
The next step for me is to allow myself to pursue creative ___.
And the reason I can't I've realized is another reason I'm so angry about the whole thing. Over the course of the seven years we were married, I let her diminish my voice. I thought it was noble or whatever to put adult things first (providing for both of us) and any kind of fun creative things were an indulgence.
Maybe this doesn't make any sense but that's where I'm at.
Sorry for rambling :/

No, it makes a lot of sense! And it's very astute of you to realize where you're at like this. Thank you for sharing
