Correct, this is not the same bridge

I've said this elsewhere in the thread, but I have had suicidal ideation... 'events' as well, never called though. If you want someone to talk to (anyone else, too! yes, that means you, hi!), reach out and message me. I know this shit all too well and I don't mind in the slightest, talking to someone who needs - or just wants - to communicate with someone who 'gets it'.

No pressure, I just want to help others like myself.

:( I've been in a similar situation, but I've never called; I have friends that I can talk to openly about this stuff, and not freak them out or have them be judgemental. I don't know you, but I hope you are doing better, and can persevere. Life can be awful, brutal. Being alone in a time of need is... I can't even think of a word with enough emphasis.

If you want, you can send me a message. Might not be helpful, but maybe it will. Just say hi, if you want. You aren't alone. :)

*by default. It's not "unrootable", it's just not recommended.

Are we talking silky-smooth succulent hands, or those of a construction worker who doesn't buy 30 grit sandpaper because he always carries his own brand?

personal rant

"we've tried nothing, and we are all out of ideas" comes to mind

I had a relative who was a smoker; I'd visit and they would try to keep it out of sight, but everyone knew. As the years went on, it became more and more of a problem (financially and health), and many tried to push back and help, support, them. Fought like a child at every step. Fucking developed copd and still didn't seem to give a fuck, wheezing and struggling with each breath, until just a couple of years before they died; when it was way too god-damn late to do shit about it.

I don't want to sound like a heartless bastard, but some stupid fucks just won't listen to any reason, and so they need to feel the consequences of their actions. This person would likely still be alive and in decent health, even years later, if they stopped being so fucking defensive/lying/deflective about it.

I get yeah it's hard - I'm a fucking stroke 'survivor' who is suffering every day I'm alive, incapable of doing basic tasks and body control, stuck in the prison that is my own malfunctioned body and brain, so don't go crying to me about how hard it is to do things - but you know what's harder? Waking up in the morning when you're dead.

Well, and because 2 is fucking abysmal as a game. The starter car shouldn't feel like it's on rails regardless of speed, mostly - it's a fucking racing game, get it right. (modern nfs is in the corner giggling but that piece of shit is always trying to force me to drift, again with an un-upgraded starter car with like 150hp, so it's no better)

I was a closed beta tester for 1 and 2, and was very excited for both, but going from 1 to 2 is a huge step backwards in handling alone. Whereas I pre-ordered 1 and got several others to as well, I told everyone I know to avoid 2, bought it on sale a while after launch, was immediately disappointed they never addressed this, and it sits with... 13 hours on the clock. As a reference, I have 4,048 hours played in Forza Horizon 5.

I have no idea how they fucked up so badly. It's a travesty.

(I play with keyboard/mouse out of preference but also because of physical disabilities, so while I /could/ use a controller and maybe mitigate this, grab a controller and try playing with one hand, see how great that experience is x_x) .

For everything else, there's Mastercard
