I’m a borderlands fan, and I will say that the first one is a little meh. The second one is where it’s all, although it may feel a little date now. The presequal and 3 are fun but they fell a little lacking

Point I’m trying to make, if 1 felt fun but a little meh, I would recommend playing 2.

It’s both

Copious amounts of caffeine and nicotine tend to do the trick for me lmao

“Masking” and “natural” kinda contradict each other

No they literally don’t. It is in my nature to mask. Whether it’s engrained in me since childhood, or it’s part of my DNA, I only know how to mask, and it’s very difficult for me not to. It’s MY nature, it’s natural to me. I do not make a conscious effort to mask.

Also for your first point, I typed out a whole article, realized it was preachy and entitled, then deleted it. Tbh, I probably shouldnt have made the comment at all. But Ive been fortunate enough that my depression never affected my need to shower. I attribute that to my autistic nature of 1) masking and 2) routine. Whether that’s the truth or not idk.

The point I was trying to make, and failed to do so, was that autism comes in many flavors. Mine apparently does the opposite of yours where I’m very self conscious about how I look, sound, and smell. I am confident that I don’t stink and I’m not nose blind to it cause I am so worried that I don’t smell pleasant, that I constantly take additional measures to fit in just like everyone else would.

I’m pretty fucking autistic, and I’ve never used nose blindness as an excuse to carry my stink out of my house.

Now to be clear, I’ve also dealt with depression, and my environment has not always been the cleanest. I have had a depression den in the past. But I always put an effort into separating my clean clothes from my room stink, and making sure I always showered before I left the house.

But I also have the high masking flavor of autism, so maybe that’s why that level of effort has come naturally.

LMAO, brother fucking stinks and nobodies bothered to tell them.

We use soap to wash away the stubborn oils that cling to our skin. Water can wash away the dirt and some of the scents, but over time that oil and musk is gonna build up and give you the sort of funk that’s reminiscent of dry aged beef and a crawl space.

You may think you don’t stink, but thats cause you’re nose blind. I’ve met many people who don’t believe in soap, and they all have the same muskiness to them. It varies from person to person, sometimes it’s not THAT bad, but it’s always there.

Yeah, I’ll fucking pirate it LMAO

He may be doing illegal shit that people want to put a stop to, but half the government backs him completely, and blindly. And the other half is a bunch of spineless pussies who care more about their donors and their own optics than bettering the country. Nobody is gonna do anything about it

Small correction, it’s an event that happened 5 months ago. The United healthcare CEO died December 4.

I already knew the struggles that women have to endure that most men don’t. But playing this game really put that into perspective, with how immersed I became. By the end of the game, I felt emotionally wreck.

Very much a “girly” game, just in an entirely different sense.

I was on the same boat as you forever. I came back to ow2 late last year. I’ll say this. OW feels better than it ever has. Very balanced and very fair, while maintaining that very chaotic and energized feeling. They added tiered perks which really break up the monotony of the game, and also brought back loot boxes.

It feels like they realized the game became stagnant, and they’re doing as much as they can to bring it back to peak, and past that.

They also are bringing back 'classic overwatch", and I’ll say this… After you play classic and go back to regular you can feel the difference. The only thing I miss is 6v6 but it seems like that’s coming back soon too

Put a hundred toddlers on an island. Leave a few older children that will disappear a few years later that are taught to fish/hunt/gather. See what kind of language develops, or what kind of civilization. How many survive?

It is VERY unethical. Add variables to other islands, such as the amount of children, and what you teach them.

Also worth noting, segregation may have “ended” in 64, but there’s still soft segregation to this day. There’s a massive divide in culture, that’s left over from administrations such as Reagan. Racism still hasn’t ended, although it has gotten a lot better just in the time I’ve been alive.

Worse thing? They changed the formula and they taste like shit now.
