GeForce 3 Ti 200.

Combined with a athlon xp 1800+ and blistering 512 MB DDR Ram I was simply TEARING through Warcraft 3 and Half Life. Thanks mom.

Also, the technical limitations and specifications of each console gave the games a distinct look. You can tell a SNES from a Genesis game, a PS1 from a N64. Even just game ports had their own charme, differing sometimes less, sometimes wildly between each console.

It all converged in the PS2 era and now it's just differently branded PCs.

Of course. He's not genetically evil. Essentialism is bad. He grew up in the most cold hearted, disgusting, bourgeois circumstances at the heart of capital and just kept going with it.

It's in fact another damning argument against capitalism and patriarchy. It produces evil in people as a byproduct.

That's great. We could make it our ironic mascot and name it hogshittestes.

Tomb Raider 1 was my absolutely fav game on the PS1 back in the day, I was so good at it too, did speedruns and everything.

That's wild and I'm curious what captured you. Even in 1997 I found tomb raider 1+2 to be almost unplayable. The controls are some of the worst I've ever seen and Lara plays like a stiff puppet. I've looked into the remake and I struggled to get past the first two levels. Trying to jump across certain gaps is just destillated frustration. Mario 64 came out the same year and after 5 minutes of running around in front of the castle, it instantly made Tomb Raider (and any other 3D movement before it) look ancient.

I genuinely believe Tomb Raider only became a success because of the sexualized "mature" design and marketing. It does some atmosphere right and being proper 3d at all at that time made it stand out, but with a character design that's not pure gamer brain or just the generic John McShoot it would have been all but forgotten.

Eradication is really hard. If you just kill mosquitoes in a certain area, what's gonna stop them from coming back? You're just not gonna get all of them.

This way you introduce a mutation that can actually propagate through the gene pool, disabling the undesired trait for future generations. It's also highly selective, so that you don't accidentally get rid of other species or poison an area with pesticides.

Also living beings have no "purpose". They fill an evolutionary niche and shape the ecological system around them. The piss off us, so we play a little god, but nature has no opinions or morals whatsoever.

I just want to stop feeling so bad but i know it’s because i still haven’t properly moved on. It doesn’t help that they told me there was a possibility of rekindling it but i know that’s not the right choice for either of us and I really don’t want a FWB type situation either.

The fact that you don't give in to this, is a great sign of moving on. You're not blinded by desire or false hope. Your brain understands and your heart will follow. It's just a little more inert.

There’s always something that reminds me of them every day whether it be a bench we sat on, a gift, song, food, etc you get the idea.

The biggest cry I had after a breakup was a month after I she left me. I was walking home at night and something reminded me of us walking the same way and I just stopped and cried sitting on a wall for 30 minutes or so. It hurt so much but now I know, that this was pure catharsis. I've tried to fight the sadness, "get over it", move on, not feel bad anymore. But what I needed was to bawl my eyes out until they burnt with snot spread all over my jacket. And when I was done I was okay.

Embrace it. You're alive and you loved and this what you get for that. It will pass, no matter what you do, but until then it's yours.

The only real advice i got is to listen to your favorite sad songs a lot and to take an hour long shower until your brain had dissolved in the mist and your skin is almost peeling off.

From the boring point of view of an office worker, who worked in a yellow office with furniture that was older than me....

The renovation of my office was a truly appreciated. Ergonomic tables and chairs, new carpet, actual white walls and getting rid of 80% of the old file cabinets make life so much nicer. I put up a union poster, a painting, two plants and i do not miss the yellow plastic stains one bit.

Edit: also this forum isn't the worst place to start. User ReadFanon has written great posts and comments about ADHD and AuDHD, which I found very helpful.

Here is a way to rethink the word lazy:

Lazy is if you can enjoy inaction: It is Sunday, I wanted to clean up my basement and work out. The sun is shining and a friend wants to hang out by the lake. I agree and we spent half the day loafing around, drinking beer by the lake. I was lazy and that's alright because I had a good day. Maybe I feel a mild sense of guilt but so what. I know I will get around to it another day and no real harm was done.

Lazy is not: I want to get up but can't. I want to clean my room, but don't know where to start so I don't. I want to do my work but can't. I want to do things for myself that I know will be good for me, but yet I still have only moved from bed to couch and back. For days, weeks, months. Years?

If your chronic inaction creates suffering and regret, you are not lazy. Your brain fails at providing you with a baseline of motivation, often stemming from both a chemical imbalance and long term acquired behavioural patterns.

ADHD is a very typical reason, depression another one. Sometimes one masks the other and autism correlates so strongly with ADHD, that people have coined the term AuDHD.

Please be kind to yourself and if you can, seek help from a psychiatrist or other mental health provider.
