WQHD & 60 Hz (and fhd & 144 though there's been some CPU bottlenecking with the 1080 I had). Currently but aiming for the 4k (60) when upgrading next year but I've really become a sucker for high graphic settings (£££). Oh, and currently I have no card whatsoever lol. And ill be upgrading mid /end of January the earliest. On October 05 2018 10:02 Orome wrote: If you liked it, watch Valley Uprising.

This one is on my list but I haven't got a Netflix account so I'll have to find it somewhere else. | ||

This morning I was sitting there, working. When I come in I usually fully open the window when its warm and leave the door open. Then I put my in-ears in and focus. He came in at about 10:50, noticed his code he started yesterday to work over night aborted due to some error. Really shitty since he needs the results really bad for his masters thesis. Then he ran outside, came back a few minutes later (I still had my in-ears in) jumped onto the desk behind me and wanted to jump out of the window form the 3rd floor. I stopped him, let him cry a bit and tried to call the psychological consultant of the university for him, although nobody picked up the phone. Now he is gone for lunch and I am not sure what the fuck do I do. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + If you see someone in high emotional distress it is advisable that you create a safe surrounding for them. The safety is not restricted to physical safety but also emotional safety as the individual is going through turbulent emotions. If you feel that you will not be able to control or maintain a safe space, it is advisable to call for professional help. A person who undergoes a breakdown will benefit if you listen to them in a non-judgmental and non advisory way. This will give them an opportunity to open up and feel that they are being really heard. If at any point you feel that you cannot handle them you should get them to consult a healthcare professional. It is also advisable to get them to a mental health clinic for some expert care. If you know someone who is going through situations like losing a job, failing in school, or dealing with long-term illness, talk to them let them know support is available. There are support groups for such problems; get the person connected to one of these groups. Meditation and other stress busting activities like yoga have been known to be helpful for people susceptible to mental breakdown. Hope i helped. Also what the fuck | ||

I think I'd call one the suicide prevention hotlines (Telefonseelsorge) and ask what to do. 0800/111 0 111 0800/111 0 222 good on you to have taken action! major props. | ||

It's rough because open world games are starting to come into their own and offer some actual really compelling stuff... but there's so many of them... and a whole legion of amazing indie games behind them... and an RPG revitalization (or continuation of one). Nowadays there's just constantly a lot of awesome games you have to completely pass up. DotA playing lost me with 7.00 to be honest, though it was difficult anyways to dedicate 45-65 minutes in one continuous chunk even before that. | ||

Kind of agree with this although the solution for me leans towards "just be really discerning about what I play" I think I found the linearity of God of War kind of boring, which caused me to never finish. Thought HZD was pleasantly open-world (option to run around forever, but can follow the semi-linear story if you want to wrap it up). Spiderman seems similar. I only have room once every...long time for an Elder Scrolls-style "do whatever you want" game :p Fuck man there is not enough time in the day | ||
