Its going to be okay. We all run from our feelings sometimes.

I know it’s hard, but you’ll get through this. One day at a time, step by step, things will get easier. Some days it might not feel like you’re making any progress; Some days you’ll feel like you’re moving backwards. But time heals all wounds. You’ve got this, eventually you won’t even remember their comment existed. Stay. Strong. Keep fighting.

Off topic, but this is why I love Lemmy; Look at this comment section. Many people here have a logical stance, either for or against the genAI use. Both sides are making good points. Reading through the article alongside the comments, my opinion was really teetering. It’s nice to be able to come in with an open mind and be challenged like this.
- Comment on Sometimes devs intentionally punish players for struggling with the game 5 days ago:
I believe they could have done this between the easy and normal difficulties because there’s not much of a difference between the two other than health regen and numbers for you and the enemies. But two reasons I see that they didn’t.
Madhouse difficulty changes so much it really wouldn’t be possible for you to swap difficulties mid playthrough, so maybe they just ignored it for the other ones. Or, the reason I think is most likely, RE7 has adaptive difficulty. So even if you’re on normal and struggling, things will get nerfed or you will get buffed after dying a few times.
If you had the preorder bonus(?) it unlocks Madhouse from the start which I guess could be a trap if you’re not ready for it and pick it.

This one would have been a lot less confusing and a bit funnier if she wasn’t actively holding a copy of Half-Life in her hand. I’m trying to figure out why they did that, maybe I’m missing something?

This reminds me of something I did when I was a kid. I put together a Windows XP shortcut that would shutdown the computer on a delay and pop up a message that told you that you were infected along with how to cancel the shutdown command, if you were quick enough.
Well, I was showing my friends in the computer lab and the teacher came up behind me and saw the message. He freaked out, I freaked out, so I didn’t get it canceled before the PC shutdown.
All of the sudden I was in the principals office accused of uploading a worm to their network. Coincidentally, there were issues effecting their entire network and I was the easiest target.
To this day I’m still furious at that teacher. Instead of listening to what I had to say and realizing it was a simple windows shortcut, he berated me and told me it WAS a virus because anything that shuts down a computer like that is.
He could have taken a look and been impressed that someone at that age had the ingenuity to put it together, but instead assumed the worse and killed my passion for computers for many years after. I have half a mind to find his contact information and tell him that he was, in fact, wrong and what that did to kill my passion.

That is awesome! Small world, both with the same idea on the same platform. Previous homeowner left a pink rotary phone downstairs, thing is worth some serious cash in working condition. I thought about getting one of those base stations that turn your cell into a landline and hooking it up, for the full experience you know?
- Comment on My PS1 died today 2 weeks ago:
I wasn’t even aware of that mod chip, definitely worth it. I’ve had this goofy idea for a while now to set up a corner in my basement with an 80s theme. You know, vintage flooring, lamps, blankets, one of those old futons, and a CRT with my classic consoles. Having something like that down there would be a nice modern convenience without sacrificing the aesthetic.

Fingers crossed, maybe I’ll make my first post here documenting their story and where they’ve been. The ps1 specifically though is one of those boxy ones with the big side vents, and it was sticking up out of the box caught right in a draft. I’ll be really surprised if I can get that one up and running, I can see the amount of dirt and moisture that settled in that vent.
- Comment on My PS1 died today 2 weeks ago:
Sorry for your loss, I feel your pain. I recently discovered that my ps1, Atari 2600, and most importantly, my VideoNow were put in outside storage and not indoors. They’ve been exposed to the elements for literal years. Have yet to test them but things weren’t looking good.
- Comment on Hey look, a giant sign telling you to find a different job 2 weeks ago:
This. Don’t forget about the evil that is HR. I was making good money with a nice career path in that field, but I had to quit because I couldn’t handle how they made me treat people. All my coworkers? Absolute robots. They hid behind the “I’m just doing my job” excuse and couldn’t identify right or wrong, just passed the orders down without sympathy. We had one guy that they couldn’t control with strong connections so they couldn’t fire him, and he really fought for his employees. They verbally tore him apart every day until he couldn’t handle it anymore.

- Comment on What's a recent game you've tried playing that isn't worth the hype? 1 month ago:
To me, the Souls combat does best in a tightly knit and highly curated environment. I really enjoyed Elden Ring but I do not think it was a step forward for the series. Open World worked to the detriment of the game IMO.
- Comment on For those of you who enjoy open-world games, how big of a world is too big? 1 month ago:
The copy-paste dungeons were a big issue for me. And the amount of reused enemies and bosses. There is definitely a way to “optimally” play the game for the best experience. But I’d say that goes against the nature of what an open world is supposed to represent.

Hot take, but the open world nature of Elden Ring drove me crazy. Coming from a series grounded by its tightly knit and highly curated environments, I never understood why Elden Ring is so unanimously considered the “peak” of the series.
I enjoyed my time with it, but I couldn’t help but wonder what the game could have been without the open world inclusion. So for me it’s not necessarily “how big is too big”, but whether or not the gameplay necessitates an open world.
