Try convincing yourself that it's not chores to be done,but that it's something you really really want to do, for the sake of the outcome.

Will try.
I think in our modern age technology has evolved to become more addictive. The things that don't give us pleasure aren't used as much. Work was never meant to be fun, but doing it makes us happier in the long run.

God. Those are so cpu biased builds. And extremely intel favored. Unless you plan on rendering and converting a bunch those builds are really meh. Much better to skimp like 100 bucks and use it on the gpu. Unless crossfiring 290x's, cpu is rarely a bottleneck in gaming.


Edit: in my haste I totally forgot about amd fx series. Go with that instead of A series. Fx 6350 should be price equivalent.

Discover things yourself, once you discover what is good and what is not the game become very boring and easy. Don't read guides and don't read wiki (maybe only read the wiki on how to get access to more ships)

Heroes will be fast, fun, and include awesome Blizzard characters! Basically the exact opposite of LoL.

Dota 2 will continue to thrive since it is the high alternative to the casual MOBA games. It's entertaining and has respectable, talented professionals.

this is one of those "I'm cancelling my pre order" guys, I also love how Dota fans continue to ignore the fact that sc2 transfers have had a very small impact on the lol pro scene.

I would never call FTL boring or easy but sometimes it can be extremely frustrating when the dice just don't roll your way and you don't get the better items. I wasn't really done with the game until I had beaten it on "normal" mode with every ship and its alternate, it's a fine game and only really easy if you use one of the better ships or, well, set the difficulty to easy.

FTL is indeed incredibly RNG. If you find the right weapons once you have some scrap it really makes the entire game much easier.
It ignores such insignificant forces as time, entropy, and death

There are some virtually unwinnable scenarios like sun or asteroids+unlucky hit in your first map but if you can survive the first sector I don't find that the game gives too much resistance. You can get screwed over and never have an access to anything that can possibly beat the final ship, but that is 1. quite unlikely and 2. has nothing to do with difficulty.

I have played with all the Engi, Zoltan, Mantis, Fed and the basic one ships. Not sure if any of them are considered weak?

Actually, the game becomes quite difficult if you do not ever pause. Haven't actually won a game trying that challenge, but got pretty far.

I have no idea how I DPed so well. I even confused the Shit out of myself.when I caught up on this thread. I was super fuckin faded on Friday. I lost my phone until today haha. that'll happen when you start drinking at 1 I suppose. apparently my homemade alcohol was stronger than anticipated. (and suck it soniv - drunk 2nd post FTW)

<3 Teut for bein on the deja vu ball.

@req dude. I dunno. I kinda wanna pull a caelym - you need to calm the fuck down man. you talk about how you have a family that loves you (which SO many people would kill for), you got a lot of people on TL that care about you even. I assume something happened with your girl but man the fuck up and fix whatever Shit is going on. I'm stuck in the middle of fucking Africa wishing on shooting stars I had a family that you speak so highly of (2 divorces OP). we're all fucked up. everyone has problems that are worse than yours. I don't know what's going on in your head, but we all have our demons. stop feeling sorry for yourself and start feeling bad for all the fucking posers who AREN'T you. they're the real fucking losers.

Has "manning up" ever actually worked for anyone ever? I admit I never tried to use it to solve any of my problems because it seems like it wouldn't be helpful at all but perhaps some more cock up my bottom could relieve a grief for gf I never had.
