you haven't lived until a random little kid ask you "how do you make love".
Ninja theory's DMC is ass this game has terrible frame rate dips. And it just isnt fucking fun. I don't care about new hipster dbag Dante (Dino).
I enjoyed the combat and level design. When you start really getting deep into the combat it feels like playing an instrument. New Dante was cool but all of the other character just seem like wasted space. But yeah NT needs a new engine cause some of the technical issues couldn't be overlooked.

The part of me that's been posting on GAF too long is like "outie would not bang," but the rest of me that has some damn sense is like "Shall we dance? Yes we shall."

Damn.

It's true though, some of the women in my family deal with depression and the older folks are really dismissive.
No one in my family seems to take mental health issues seriously either. I feel like this is a real problem in the black community but not all of us can afford to go see a therapist :/

My theory is that the older black generation had to be resilient to survive. They had to overlook and ignore and dismiss anything that didn't kill them. Broke my heart watching 12 Years a Slave (& The Butler), when the slave owners would come for the girls and they would just get up and walk away to get raped. Just apart of another day. Want that long you just had to take a lot of shit and keep it moving.

Now, that's not an excuse. But I see a big s denial problem in my family that is learned behavior. We don't talk about any serious problems. People just up and die from terrible cancer and it allegedly 'came out of no where'. That is bull shit, of course, but we can't come together and share the bad experiences. This can happen in any family but seems to happen too often with our folks.

I suffered with it and it's no joke. Like sound the alarms, no joke. There are other, less expensive options. Hell, I bargained my therapist down. Many wouldn't even know you could do that but some therapists will. Especially now when volume could be more helpful than margin. Or just seeing a doctor and starting medication could be a big difference.
 
Tell me why I'm watching bowfinger and laughing my ass off. Too damn funny.


EDIT: That Facebook shit I hope she gets slammed into next century for that dumb shit.
 

This sucks so much, actually discussed the mental health situation in Ghana/UK among Blacks with a friend who's a nurse. Its scary how uneducated/ignorant we are about these situations. In Ghana, its such an uphill battle and even the medical practioner community do not put as great an emphasis on this as they should. Its downright sobering when you realize the default solution for many people is going to a church instead of taking a doctor. So many patients slip through the cracks because there aren't enough trained specialists or locations to help everyone's needs. Apparently, suicide also gets underreported.
