  • I had to stop playing when I saw the review for AC 3 (I think) from Zero punctuation.

    He pointed out that the quests were almost entirely “gofer” quests… You know, you go over there and get that, then go fer that other thing and go…

    I started the game not long after and I have to say, he was right. And every time I was given a quest to go somewhere only to talk to someone with little to no reason for doing so other than, I have nothing better to do in the game… When that happened, I heard his voice in my head talking about how annoying gofer quests were.

    It annoyed me, and I stopped playing as a result. Never got past the first chapter.




  • Yeah, I have a ton of time into HL/HL2/CS:GO/Audiosurf/PvZ

    Pretty much all of that was lost.

    I did a quick Google search and according to some commenters on websites, the great reset was around 2010.

    I’ve been on steam since the early days, I think I installed it around the time that blue shift came out? I forget. But back then, if you had any HL2 title, and you put that into steam, you would get what is now known as “the orange box” (more or less). So, yeah, I got a bunch of valve games basically free and I’ve only expanded that collection.

    Recently I’ve tapered my spending on games because life/work/family doesn’t allow me a lot of time to play. Which is probably why I like satisfactory so much. If I get an hour, I can build my factory, save it half complete and go back and continue building later.

    The biggest thing that I feel like SF has going for it, is that they give you all the tools, tell you the objectives and let you figure everything else out. You have 100% control over how you accomplish the task at hand. You can save/quit anytime you would like, and there’s no demands to get things done in a particular timeframe.

    You can save halfway through a build, and you’ll come right back to where you left off. Most games now-a-days are match based, once you’re in a match, you feel obligated to finish the match, and there’s seasons or limited time objectives that you must play a minimum amount in order to even have a chance of getting… There’s just so much pressure, micro-transactions, and effort required.







  • Concerta works for me, I know others that it does not work for.

    Some that I know who have had issues with concerta either switch to Vyvanse or Adderall, usually they can find one of the three that works for them.

    I’m sure your doctor can better inform you as to what options you have, and by no means would I suggest or imply that I know what you need. I am not a doctor. With that said, you don’t know what you don’t know, so if you can at least be aware that alternatives exist, and the names on a few of them, it can start the ball rolling.

    I sincerely hope you find something that’s effective for you. It can truly be life changing if/when you do. I’m hoping you get there.

    All the best.




  • Accounting for that, the hostel guy seems to have a rucksack or similar. They’re quite distinct and notable bags. If it’s not actually a rucksack, it’s something with similar design elements, maybe a knockoff, since rucksacks tend to be rather expensive.

    Rucksacks are popular with people who hike/move around a lot, the kind of people who would stop at a hostel for a night before moving on to another area/location/city/country, usually by non-typical means (hiking, walking, hitch hiking, etc).

    That’s just the personality type for one such person who would use such a combination of products, and by no means should describe, or imply a description, of the individual illustrated in the image. My entire point to saying any of this is that it’s a very district design.

    The shooter has a very simple backpack that lacks most of the notable features that I can see from the backpack/rucksack that the hostel person is using.

    They’re both backpacks, but one is notably different than the other.

    While it’s feasible they just switched backpacks, IMO it’s far more likely that they’re simply different people.

    To me, this kind of naming and shaming attitude of a person of interest in an ongoing investigation by the press is disgusting.

    If the images here depict two different people as I suspect they do, then the individual in the hostel images is likely to suffer consequences as a result of the brash and hasty release of their images by the press. It will likely affect them for years to come.

    It makes for enticing headlines, that’s for sure, but it’s abysmal journalism. They don’t seem to have any standards left regarding the truth, only whatever will attract the most views/clicks/reads/whatever.
