Add the Hardcore SK modpack, it completely changes the game.

I'm going to figure out this French chimera of a game if it kills me, but just as an example of what I'm dealing with; same "DNA Profile", different stats, no explaination. Wat.

E.Y.E. Devine Cybermancy for anyone wondering.

>>22742
Same character classes but they rolled different stats?

>>22743
I'unno.

The game does a dozen different things that wouldn't be too confusing on their own, but put together are so disorientating. For instance, there are 20+ tutorial videos, which is a bit rubbish, but whatever, but then trying to watch them with the intense, ambient drone rock that makes up the soundtrack is a bit too much. Then everyone talks to you like a N64 character for good measure.

>>22742
Brilliant game but it's basically what happens when you trap a bunch of French veteran modders in a room with too much speed. They based the game off a tabletop RPG system that doesn't exist.

It's absolutely fucking mental and the game struggles to tell you anything. You can hack into everything: enemies, yourself, co-op partners. You can go insane and start halucinating enemies and it'll stop you using your weapons. You can teleport inside enemies and make them explode. You can have 64 players on a mission.

The story is insane, the translation is so bad I thought a dialog option with a random npc was a joke but it ended up adding in optional levels and changing the endgame drastically.

Going off my crap memory one of genes is simply better than the others so you just use it for all three slots; can't remember if it's because one of the stats it is weak on is pointless or if you have a reasonable chance of a roll that'll give you really high stats.

Probably seek some water fast, If I haven't already died of dehydration.

1150mg/day Lithium here, diagnosed bipolar. Aside from the mild tremors and the fact that alcohol is an even worse idea than usual I haven't had any really terrible side effects from Lithium.

That said SSRI's and SNRI's (escitalopram and venlafaxine) sent me completely loopy whereas Lithium seems to keep me nicely balanced out.

I have full bloods done every three months to check for liver, kidney and thyroid problems. I had to have lithium blood level tests every month until we dialed in the correct dose for me.

I'm still moderately to highly depressed but at least I no longer suffer from bouts of life-threatening mania, which can only be a good thing.

Of course for every person who reacts badly to SSRI's and reacts well to Lithium there will be a person who has a totally opposite experience. YMMV.

>>28237
>>28238
Thanks for sharing your experiences. Can I drink alcohol on lithium? The information book they gave me said nothing about it, and when I've looked online it said it's fine as long as I stay hydrated.

>>28239

You'd be unwise to get absolutely wankered, but sensible drinking is fine.

>>28239
Within reason, alcohol can cause your mood to shift. Restrict yourself to social gatherings and a couple of drinks or the odd pint down the pub. Don't endeavour to get drunk, tipsy is your glass ceiling.

>>28239
> it's fine as long as I stay hydrated

Correct. The problem is, if you get properly drunk to the point of a hangover then you're already dehydrated as it is. Dehydration causes the level of lithium in the blood to spike dangerously which can cause a whole host of problems. Obviously if you're exercising (and you should be, it helps depression a lot) you need to keep well well hydrated there too.

Incidentally, what you want to be most worried about is anything serotonergic, particularly drugs like MDMA, LSD, psychodelic mushrooms, etc etc (and potentially anything in the cocaine or amphetamine family is probably a bad idea too) but also some over the counter medicines such as cough syrup containing dextromethorphan. If in doubt check with your doctor etc.

What you do is head North from Victoria St up Broadway until you reach St James's Park Station then you take the tube from there to somewhere else.

Can't have a good night out in that London. What you wanna do is get on t'train to Wakey.

Go watch some autistic hipster mutants doing some deeply pathetic 'sound art' at Cafe Oto in Dalston, their circle jerk clique is 24/7 and there's weird shite on every night, has to be seen to be believed. Many attractive and confused young art hoe ladies there.

>>22739
Innit?
Looks like it's the same for me, 7 years ago. Wasn't it like yesterday?

Whining thoroughly checked.

This inspired me to see what my server looked like 7 years ago. I have never played regularly; rather sporadically throughout that time but it's still cool to see the evolution.

It's also striking how many of the shots in the video look like old paintings.

DRAMATIC SCENES IN LOOKING LIKE PAINTINGS OF DRAMATIC SCENES SHOCKER

Yeah but the paintings that look nothing like dramatic scenes look nothing like the dramatic scenes that look nothing like dramatic scenes.

Wasn't the government keen on everyone having access to at least a basic bank account, regardless of their standing? Do these count?

>>6964
They're not banks.

>>6964
They're useful for situations where you might not trust the person using them, or the situation you're using them in.
For example some parents give them to teenage children for spending money, you can top it up with just however much you want them to have. They're good if you're travelling and are afraid of losing a card, there's less hassle than losing your main credit card. They're also useful for buying viagra from dodgy websites if you're into that sort of thing.

Some banks allow standing orders to count too instead of direct debits. If you've got a pension, chucking a few quid in there by DD would work.

>some of the community prefer life on the streets living on one's wits, to one in temporary accommodation navigating the benefits system.'
Surely it should say something about how shite the benefits system is if anyone would prefer living on the streets to living in a kafka tribute novel by the DWP?
the most powerful force in life is inertia. If it's a reasonable guess that you're going to go homelesss > benefits > can't get a job fast enough > govt decides you're a scrounger and cuts benefits > homeless, why would you bother? That's a lot of upheaval just to live a shaggy dog story.

>>62696

The jobcentre truly is that useless. Even the well meaning advisers who want to help can only really show you a list of random jobs their local centre has in a file.

The fact that you can't sign on while homeless is entirely unforgivable to me - how the fuck do they expect that to work? I truly don't understand that policy. What's the reason for that, fear of fraud? There has to be a better way to solve that than to just simply not help anyone who's on the streets.

>>62697
>THERE HAS TO BE A BETTER WAY TO SOLVE THAT THAN TO JUST SIMPLY NOT HELP ANYONE WHO'S ON THE STREETS.

I know Mike Skinner quit performing, but I don't think he's fallen on that hard times.

You need to adjust your tonearm for the new cartridge. There's probably too much vertical tracking force and too much overhang with the new cart.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WM-aIDwfrhc

>>27059
VTF and alignment are fine, I hadn't though much about overhang. I'll see if that helps, but I swear it used to sound OK and now it doesn't. Maybe I just didn't notice it.

>>27060

I'm almost certain you've checked already, but if two different cartridges sound the same, my instinct that the problem is somewhere else, half unplugged cable, dodgy amp, bad wiring, that sort of thing.

>>27061
Two different styli sound the same - the original cartridge isn't great sounding anyway but there's definitely a lot more treble there.

Turns out it's my amplifier's phono stage. It's a Denon from the 90s and that means capacitor leakage.

Derby County Football Club can confirm that officers from the Derbyshire Constabulary were called to the Derby County Training Centre at around 11:20am on Thursday 10th January 2019 following reports of a man acting suspiciously outside the premises.

It has since been confirmed to Derby County that the individual concerned is an employee of the footballing staff at Leeds United Football Club. The club is now in discussion with Leeds United club officials in relation to this incident. At this time no further comment will be made.

>Wayne Hennessey: Crystal Palace goalkeeper charged for alleged Nazi salute

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/46980752

It seems they haven't bought his excuse.

All 28 current members of the United States women’s soccer team have filed a lawsuit against their own governing body alleging years of “institutionalized gender discrimination”. The team, who are the reigning world champions, are seeking equal pay with their male counterparts, who failed to reach the 2018 World Cup.

The lawsuit, which was filed in a federal court in Los Angeles on Friday, seeks equal pay and treatment, in addition to damages including back pay. The group, which includes some of the best players in the world such as Megan Rapinoe, Alex Morgan and Carli Lloyd, are also seeking compensation for any player who has appeared for the US since February 2015. If the lawsuit is successful it could cost the US Soccer Federation millions of dollars.

“Each of us is extremely proud to wear the United States jersey, and we also take seriously the responsibility that comes with that. We believe that fighting for gender equality in sports is a part of that responsibility. As players, we deserved to be paid equally for our work, regardless of our gender,” Morgan said in a statement.

I remember vividly in the 80s Hibs having the only "respected" firm in Scotland, the CCS, and they went on a reign of terror. My mate watched them lock a black man in a shed and set it on fire when he was 10 looking on from his bedroom window. This is tame in comparison, don't get me wrong, but the escalation in incidents of this type in Scotland makes me think the bad old days might be coming back around in the Scottish game with attacks on black players like this and people throwing bananas at players, making monkey sounds, throwing coins, bottles, etc.

Absolutely no excuse for this. I'm glad I made the switch to watching Ice Hockey last year, good riddance. At least the fighting at EIHL games is on the ice where it belongs.

I know it feels shit now but it was only a couple of months. It's not like she is the only girl you'll ever have. You'll get over it. Go out and have some rebound sex to feel better.

>How do I stop myself feeling like shit about this? How do I prepare myself for the bad news she may not want to see me again? Should I just put it out of my mind? How?

To be honest lad, regardless of what happens, you can always put a lot more effort into yourself. Times like this, when you're particularly worried about something external, are a sign that it's really time to do some self-care. Read a book, take a walk, go to the gym, etc. Your friends aren't here- that doesn't stop you going to the cinema or something.

A full schedule really helps and reduces rumination. Stepping back and seeing the bigger picture is always helpful.

>I fucked it up in a couple of months. I was overly sensitive and revealed an ugly side to myself.

I don't know the specifics but saying that you "fucked it up" says a lot about your approach to this, it could be that you need a bit more confidence and resolve. Additionally, texting her when she asked for space shows a little lack of awareness of boundaries, I'd refrain from that.

>>28222

Correct. It was only the one message after a couple of days, and I'm not inclined to harass people. If it gets too much... I don't know. Straight to the gym, I guess.

>>28223

I sort of feel like it's all in my head at the moment. Attraction usually is. I don't want to sound like a showoff but my social life has picked up a lot in the last few months.

She was just the first after a long, long, long dry spell. Hard not to get emotionally caught up in it.

>>28224

Totally right. Luckily I live a very busy life and have a packed week ahead.

I just need to find a way to feel "likeable", you know? I shouldn't let it affect my self esteem so much, but when you get really intimate with someone and they decide that don't want you... Not going to lie, it hurts.

>>28226
> I just need to find a way to feel "likeable", you know?
That doesn't really work as expected. You'd better not.
I'm knackered beyond recognition to elaborate on it right now, maybe someone else would.
