It’s weird cause I’ve always been like this ever since I was a kid and I just can’t seem to figure out what the issue is, and now that I’m in my 20s it’s starting to take a toll on me.

Complete alienation with everything getting worse and absolutely nothing going my way.

But when you say “the slightest slip up in fidelity”, are you referring to cheating? Because I think that’s a bit more than just a simple slip up, your pretty much ruining the integrity of a relationship in my opinion.

Comment on The body’s immune system responding to a COVID vaccine, and not the vaccine itself, is likely the cause of menstrual cycle changes experienced after vaccination in ~health
sky_Pharaoh Link ParentGlad I wasn’t the only one that noticed that, I think they were just trying to avoid directly saying that the vaccine caused it maybe to avoid potential backlash.Glad I wasn’t the only one that noticed that, I think they were just trying to avoid directly saying that the vaccine caused it maybe to avoid potential backlash.

Never did get my hormones checked so that’s something I’ll definitely consider the next time I have an appointment. It’s just weird cause I remember all of this kinda started when I started drinking a bunch of coffee towards the end of 2021 and I got some pain in my lower abdomen and it just got progressively worse with random symptoms, completely out of no where. Doesn’t help that i always had some kind of mental issues that I didn’t really pay any attention to in the past that probably contributed to all this. Anyways I don’t want to go on another rant but just know that I’m really thankful that you responded, it means a lot!

I have been going through something similar for the past year with similar symptoms and with all the other things in my life going on I genuinely don’t think I have the strength to continue at this point. I’ve been to so many doctors and none of them can figure anything out as my symptoms and tests keep fluctuating, and now my primary care doctor is just throwing everything under “anxiety”. Plus I have a bunch of mental issues that I can’t get any help or diagnosis for because I don’t have time to go to the doctor a million times a week any more and I spent all the money I saved two years ago on meaningless doctors appointments and now I can’t afford to go so I need to start work again to build up more money. I get looked at as a joke now since no one thinks anything is wrong with me and they think I’m just making stuff up, and everything outside of my mental/physical health is going to shit too, like my social life. I’m sorry I just went on a rant but I have to keep everything on the inside cause no one cares. Im only 23 but im already done for.

But the navigational aspect of the game was so poorly designed in my opinion and it really hampered my enjoyment of the game. Would it have been so hard to maybe put fast travel into the game? In the beginning I was having a lot of fun and couldn’t put the controller down but by the end I was kinda tired of it and was relieved it was over.
Still a really good game but it got kinda tedious so I can’t give it more than an 8/10.

A lot of those tracks on that jungle beat battles page are really good, can't believe I haven't heard of it until now. Definitely feel you on the whole "producer music" thing, sometimes it seems more like there are more artists than casual listeners in these spaces lol.
Here's my soundcloud if your interested, haven't posted anything in a couple months cause I've been busy but I got a couple of tunes I want to release soon.

I always drum on things and make beats in my head and it grew into a love for jungle and other forms of electronic music and I started to make my own music when I was 18. Drum programming and writing bass lines is like therapy to me lol. Original Nuttah is such a banger and helped me discover a lot of that old school sound, Venetian Snares and Autechre also influenced a lot of my sound. A lot of contemporary artists in the hardcore scene like Thugwidow, Sewerslvt, Bakground, etc all add their own flavor to the genre and makes it feel so fresh despite how old/unpopular it is now.
Is there anywhere I can hear any of your music? It’s so hard finding other fans/artists in these genres, especially cause I’m American and these genres were never popular here.

Gonna be focused entirely on trying to just be healthy and in shape rather than powerlifting and PRs. I slacked off on my diet as well but I’m getting back into my older, healthier eating habits. I’m going to be trying low carb, moderate fats rather than the other way around and see how I feel about it.

I was really hoping that Altus would improve the alignment system from SMT 4, which was one of the aspects of that game that I felt really fell flat, but they somehow made it even worse. Instead of the ending you receive being a culmination of all the choices you made throughout the game, it’s literally just a choice you make at the last minute, which takes the fun out of wondering which ending you’ll get. The story isn’t interesting at all, even with all the side quests, and the characters are boring and super predictable. Also, the music in these games are very important to me, and I felt like even though it had some good tracks, overall it wasn’t as good as it’s predecessors in my opinion.
I don’t want to rant too much more but even though I had my issues with SMT IV, I at least had a lot of fun with it, plus the soundtrack was phenomenal. This game in my opinion has nothing good about it at all, not particularly bad but just very average.
Definitely the Josh Groban rendition of O’ Holy Night
