I guess it's a broad meaning. but I take it as a reflection period. what happened? what'd you do wrong? what mistakes were made and how can I fix them foe the future? I look at all the dumb fucking Shit I could have avoided/fixed and moved on. it's in the past and you can't change it. you look to the future and focus on the present. | ||

I get that, and we've all had our share of depressing/down moments. but just saying "I'm depressed, I might do something stupid" is silly and borderline drama queen antics. I don't care if you're upset, but say WHY, instead of just saying you are. we all read it and go whelp, no idea what's wrong but I hope it's ok. it just seems silly to me. maybe he doesn't want to open up to us and cool - but the teaser/cliffhanger posts are dumb imo still <3 req. sorry if I seem harsh | ||

I kinda feel bad 'cause last time I talked to him I was critiquing his play while he duoed with Asmo and apparently it was the first time he got even remotely ragey at the game in a long time. | ||

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. The ships I had most trouble with were zoltan B, stealth B, slug B, and engi B in decreasing hair-pulling order (engi B wasn't *that* bad, zoltan B had me ranting to everybody who would listen). Everything else is decent, some of it is amazingly good. IDK, it'd be interesting to compare notes and maybe you had a better strat going, but honestly despite some of the hair-pulling I liked FTL a lot. I'd boast about my winrate but it probably wasn't amazing to begin with and I screwed it over further by restarting a lot more than was probably necessary. In the end I still like FTL a lot as a game and would recommend it, but after beating it with every ship I consider it "completed". Still listen to the music a lot. | ||

As for manning up, sometimes it's the right thing to tell someone like if they're being a drama queen or just nervous about something. Sometimes it's just the wrong thing to say. Judge accordingly. | ||

I probably jumped the gun, but the point i was trying to make is we had nothing to judge by except a drama queen esque (as I read it) post. in the short time I've been a part of TL lol this seems to be a fairly common thing for req to do.

To be honest. Manning up means multitude of things depending on who you talk to. Maybe for some it's as simple as letting their frustration out by doing productive things, like gym, work, projects, etc. For others its talking to their closest friends about their problems, life , etc. Perhaps it's dealing with the problem ddirectly. Sometimes it's doing something completely random, going skydiving despite never doing it, or go fishing for the first time, and so on. The most important part is doing something. And that's the hardest part. The cycle of depression is so hard to break. That's what friends are for. They're there to help push you out of a negative spiral. | ||

They're there to help push you out of a negative spiral. sometimes your ego won't allow you to open up to your friends. then it's time to seriously consider a therapist. there's no shame in seeking professional help if you need it. I actually went to a psychologist/therapist for a few months 2 years ago because I was in a bad funk and insurance covered it (and I'm pretty sure a lot of insurances cover mental health visits). Going to the sessions and talking helped me lay out my problems and "man up" to get my life back in order. | ||

I didn't find Zoltan-B that bad, except for when you get into a solar flare before you buy your shileds (the first thing you always buy), then it's most of the time an autoloss, nothing you can do about it. Basically the 3 ways to win I found most reliable are Ion weapons+anything, mass lazors (probably not wise unless you start with some nice lazors; you're unlikely to get 2 good lazor weapons during the game), or a bomb+transpoter. Bomb+Transporter is the one you'll most likely to go for, almost any bomb will do, the one that does 4dmg or the ion one are the best tho. | ||

Depends. "Manning up" is just getting over being gunshy and going in. Too often people misconstrue "manning up" for what I like to call "anime mode" where even though they've been getting smacked around, they believe now that they picked up their shiny new longsword they can win if they JUST. TRY. HARDER. Aaand of course they get slapped around again because the game doesn't give you power for effort. Derp, I thought we were talking about league. Silly me. | ||
