Dyskolos

Screw a bad launch as long as the Dev delivers in the end and not just pisses off. And they did. It’s one of the greatest games of all times. And I’m gaming daily since pong and pacman.

There are tons of shitty releases that stay shitty but offer micro transactions and 2646 dlcs. CP has one add-on that is also fantastic.

Being an early adopter sucks in this industry. That’s why I waited over a year to play it and had not one single issue in 3 playthroughs.

It’s probably “everyone in school is playing it, so I have too”. Yet only 5 people actually like it 😁

Must be…

It’s really simple: don’t buy it but pirate it and enjoy it anyway. As the game itself is pretty solid for what it is, just works and does not sell addons and has no mtx-shop, which really baffled me.

I don’t like her stupid ass and can’t stand her silly propaganda. I don’t even like harry Potter at all, yet still enjoyed my time in the game. Like i highly dislike star wars, yet cherished the Kotor games very much.

I usually strip the art from the artist. And in those cases I won’t purchase but download. Me not playing it does absolutely nothing, but me not buying it does a microscopic tiny fraction.

And don’t forget that most people just don’t know And/or don’t care. Not everyone buying it or loving potter is some backwards yokel. Ignorance can be a bliss.

Totally bonkers, yes. But chill! It all will relax in the near future and go down to just 200% more expensive than before. And then stay there. And we will be happy-ish.

Oh yeah lucky! I evened out fate, as I waited to finally buy my GPU at the absolute peak for an insanely outrageous price only to see it fall day by day since then.

So, I’m kinda at zero (dis-)advantage now 😁

Recently upgraded my servers. 256GB ddr5 each. Was 1600 moneyz altogether. Now, not half a year later, the exact same ram is 6400 now.

I bought twice the amount by accident and sent half of it back…for which I now bit my left nut off…could’ve been a free bunch of gaming PCs.

That’s me. Except the cheese and it’s every day of the year 😁

Nooooooo that’s totally unlikely. It’s probably just for our best!

Yeah sure, I forgot everything is binary. My bad.

I have the time to do this and it surely couldn’t hurt OP more than others did. And it made an intellectually superior being, like you, have fun. Well worth my time 😁

Everyone with exceptions. Add people who are toxic to others to that exceptions. Or try to flood them with love in hope to cure their toxicity. Your choice.

And surely it’s not just black and white but gradual. You might be mildly toxic due to other toxic people and just haven’t reflected enough yet. Or you might be a cesspool of hate and poison, way beyond the point of possible repair.

I surely can’t fit all this into a simple formula. It’s a general guideline. And if it’s shit to you then just ignore and make up your own 😊

“I’m 12 and this is deep” would be a nice subreddit for this crap bordering incel-dogma.

Sorry, but everyone (except pedos, murderers and the likes) deserves to be loved. There is no international norm nor measure of love-worthyness. And it surely wouldn’t be defined by your face, your income, your schlongsize, your height or your whatever.

Just because there are legions of ugly (inside) people who define your worth based solely on above mentioned criteria, doesn’t mean there aren’t solid people out there who don’t. It just gets tiresome, sorting out the bad raisins. And if you’re absolutely adamant that you’re ugly inside too (which is probably just the work of others): be the change you want to see in this world, or be a pussy and give up.

Stop frequenting sites/people who pamper your already skewed worldview and drag you deeper into THEIR void…avoid toxic people by all means. No matter who they are.

Sure there are extreme examples. The “blue alien” also comes to mind or the Catwoman. It also might lead to peace of mind. In rare cases though. Like I said in another comment: if you feel your leg is alien and needs to be gone, chopping it off can simply solve the problem. But, considering there might be a pill available tomorrow to “cure” all possible body image distorsions, your leg would still be gone 🫤

I said in tendency. And gender-affirming surgeries is no exception to any surgery based on body-disphoria. Even worse actually, as the suicide-rate post-OP is like 20x higher than without.

If everything went perfectly, There’s a chance one might find some relief. But I think there’s a gigantic difference between a lip-injection leading to the “Fuller” lips you always dreamt of, and above surgery leading to the genitalia you always dreamt of. It might remotely look like it, it might even feel a bit like it, but it sadly would never be like it. Plus There’s no way back. A boob-job can be fixed, a lip-job can be altered. A cut off wiener can’t be made whole again. dunno if f2m is somehow reversible though. But that’s not the point anyway.

And before you scream “transphobic!” At me: I am not, i couldn’t care less what someone identifies as or what they have in their pants or with what they prefer to have intercourse.

Disphoria is no fun, in no form. But changing the body to meet the internal image of it rarely ends perfectly well. Or even well. If you can’t stand (no pun intended) your leg and chop it off, chances are good. As it’s gone and you need no alternative. But having an open axewound instead of a wiener or a sewed-on phallus-like skin-something instead of a working genitalia is hard (again no pun intended) to induce the same kind of relief. Maybe the hated schlong is gone, but you will be reminded of that thing forever anyway with the daily needed care.

Long story short: I would not bet my working genitalia on finding relief. And I’m empathic enough to imagine having disphoria. I might hate this schlong with all my heart, but it works. And chance of having an equally well working vajayay are converging zero. Just pure pragmatism, I don’t have a political or religious agenda.

I’d argue that possible relief is reciprocal to the complexity of the change wanted.

People with such a disphoria most likely won’t be happy after such a dangerous injection of a neurotoxin. Probably even the opposite and leading to more and more “corrections”. yet the actual self will never align with the self one imagines one has to be. A downward spiral OR maybe, if lucky, a botched experiment never to be repeated.

So, all I, personally, can see in those people is the sadness or even true despair. Surely not beauty. Not in the slightest. At best I see beauty in their public display of insecurity or weakness.

And besides that: people form prejudgment all the time about everything, and it’s a great evolutionarily trait that gave us an edge up to this day. Being able to deduct something based on the thinnest of evidence. And further strengthening or weakening this judgment by gathering additional evidence over time. This is NOT an inherently bad thing by itself. It becomes a bad thing if people stick to their initial prejudgment and could never be taught better. May it be out of ignorance, apathy or sheer stupidity. Then prejudice is the actual bad thing that this word always seem to connotate.

I can’t tell if your choice of words were intentionally punny or coincidental 😁

penis: GUITAR STRING

What the…who would…why…and even worse: how to get it out again? No wait, I don’t wanna know.

Why the downvotes?

This beats political posts and also was, literally, a damn shitty post. And it was so incredibly dumb that it made me blow air out of my nose slightly faster than normal.

Sure, I still have all physical media as a backup 😁 As for the NAS, I have a triple backup of it. I learned that the hard way a long time ago 😐
