I find it all absolutely disgusting, and what’s even more disgusting is that these things can affect my unfortunate meat flesh prison

Nature is pain and agony

I’ve visited the French Alps as a kid and it smelled like pig shit

I much prefer the internet tbh, here I have control

These statements are all super dysfunctional, imo. You seem to be trying to hide from the realities of the world.

No, I’ve actually had pets. That said while I value the companionship I would prefer an artificial companion instead.

I think this says everything that needs to be said about the position this opinion is coming from.

Yeah there isn’t much official content for it in 5e.

I thought this was a pretty common opinion these days, but maybe that’s just in my information bubble.

Multiplayer: Quake.

Single Player: Half Life.

Absolutely unhinged take.

People don’t have a problem with the capabilities, they have a problem with the ethics.

What do you mean by DRM here? Are you saying you need to be able to pirate it?

ICO.

You don’t understand what censorship is.

Spend your money, travel, get outside your comfort zone and challenge yourself. Or get professional help.

I know, they just didn’t provide any details about how or where in that comment, though they followed it up with a link after I complained.

This is much more useful, much appreciated.

Very fucking helpful, thanks.

Is it even possible to play Tribes anymore? Are there any active servers, for any version?

Sure, just keep in mind that most of the answers you got are completely wrong :]

DO NOT ASK SOCIAL MEDIA IMPORTANT MEDICAL QUESTIONS. CONSULT AN EXPERT.

Almost all of the replies here are wrong or missing important information.

There’s a line running through the middle of this; on one side you’re strongly independent and on the other side you’re an asshole. I’ve veered back and forward across this line for most of my life (in my late 40s now). There’s no hard and fast rules around which side of the line you’re on in any given situation, every circumstance is different and needs to be assessed on its own merits.

If meeting somebody halfway means doing something I don’t want to do, I don’t want a relationship with this person.

Having this as a hard rule that you always stick to, will frequently put you on the asshole side of the line. Sometimes its nice to do something for someone, even if you don’t particularly enjoy it, just because it’ll make them happy. If you care a lot about them, making them happy is enjoyable (well, it should be!) even if the specific activity isn’t. As I said, you assess each situation on its own merits. Figuring out how much you’re willing to compromise on stuff like this, and for whom, is just something you’ll need to work on over time. If it’s something that you don’t particularly want to do but it’ll make your partner really happy, why wouldn’t you want to give them that?

Communication is key. You need to be able to explain to the person why you make these decisions, but also be able to listen to them about how they feel about it, and find some understanding on both sides.

But why must couples do everything together?

They shouldn’t, people who think like that are awful. But they should do some things together. Probably quite a lot of things.

If a person I’m dating feels entitled to try to change me, I don’t see how a relationship would work

Going from being by yourself to being in a relationship will always require changes. If the way you think in a relationship doesn’t change to include the other person, then you’re not really in a relationship you’re just hanging out. People shouldn’t try to force changes on people against their will, but you should be accepting that you will need to make some changes, just because it is a fundamentally changed situation from being on your own.

It does sound to me like you have some reflexive responses that are a reaction to your upbringing, that I suspect will make it difficult for you to communicate and negotiate through a relationship in these ways. Some kind of therapy can potentially help you work through some of this, but also being self aware (which you seem to have some amount of) and learning through experience should be able to mature these aspects of your personality over time, as long as you make the effort to self-assess and try and be as objective as possible in those assessments.

lol you’re the one who came in swinging with “for all I know!” “you could be lying!” as soon as I pressed you on a point. That’s the definition of a bad faith argument, you’re not acctually trying to engage with points of discussion you’re just trying to “win” the conversation.

lol do you always assume anyone who disagrees with you is acting in bad faith? Whst a convenient way to shield yourself from uncomfortable truths.

No wonder you’re desperate to lock someone into a relationship with you asap, you sound nuts.
