LTTP: The Messenger aka Castlevania 2: Messenger Boogaloo

I was having a ton of fun with this game then it just turns into some bullshit ass Simon's Quest metroidvania bullshit. What the fuck are all the musical notes? How am I supposed to tell them apart? Why am I teleporting back to the same areas? What the FUCK is this stupid ass bird and why can't...

For what it’s worth, Shantae Shantae , I keep seeing your posts and really enjoying them. Judging by seeing things like a bunch of likes, others agree.

I don’t know what has you wanting to quit so much, but you’re a valuable member to many of us.

Thanks. I appreciate every like I get on here, it's brightens up my day a little, it means something I said meant something to someone. My problem is mainly manic depression, and anger issues. I don't just feel like I don't belong here sometimes, but anywhere. I don't think I'll fit in anyplace, and that I'm never going to. When people say something that makes me feel attacked, I just wanna shut down after I have an outburst. Before it was just irritability, but I'm getting concern more that I have actual anger management problems now. I let things get to me too much.

I'm a rough spot, a lot of people are this year I'm sure, but I've been feeling like this for a lot of years. Can't really seek help or more therapy, because I can't afford it. I had an easier time affording it when I was unemployed, but now that I'm working, paying for therapy is something I can't even do because my insurance sucks. So I'm constantly coping with my own insecurities, and I'm not doing a very good job of it.

Relate. I think it’s important to not rely on likes as validation, a trap I fall into every now and then, but knowing you could contribute a little bit to someone’s day, whether it be a laugh, a smile, or just something really interesting, feels good.

Me too, on belonging. All the time. I don’t even feel like I’m the same species. There is so, so much stupid in the world right now, that I feel like belonging is the truly insane, worrying thing.

All you can do is be the absolute best version of who you want to be (assuming you don’t want to be Bin Laden Jr. or something 😋 ), and strive to that every day. People are going to get on board, or they’re not. Take good criticism, but understand there will always be someone riled up by you, or that doesn’t like you, unless you blend perfectly into the crowd, socially manipulate, and never make a peep, which is no way to live a life.

Yep. People like the ones that were insulting you and calling you names for having a perfectly valid opinion the other day... you have to be able to tune that shit out, and focus on the people and things that do matter.

Which I meant to say earlier — finding the right people in your life, and loving, caring for, or sharing friendships with them, is the real goal. They are out there.

Not the first time I’ve heard this on Gaf. The US really needs to do a better job of getting help to those who need it. I’m not a practitioner of anything, and my ability to help is limited, but I can say that you’re not alone. Either as someone going through these things, or a Gaffer.

Much love, and don’t let people that really aren’t worth anything, dictate how you feel about yourself.

Scored a pretty sweet deal on an NES action set, 2 controllers, the gun, the system, complete in box with original posters and everything, plus Mario 1,2, and 3 for $100 CDN and the remainder of a box of rolling papers I wasn't using.

Purchased strictly for NES Tetris of course, I could have found a cheaper one but this was a great deal and it was from a buddy of mine so I know it's in tip top condition. Picked up NES Tetris at the flea market today for $15, good to go. Kind of interested in hitting up a Tetris tournament at some point.

It's literally all I've been playing for months now. I even play at work when I have time with my GB lol. With nothing else on my plate after Doom Eternal and FF7Remake, I picked Tetris Effect back up and got sucked in big time. I feel like the time is right for finally trying to seriously level up my game and seeing how far I can take it. The game never gets old to me and I feel like there is this massive skill ceiling that I am nowhere near reaching.

I know that feel, and once you catch the bug you have to chase it. Happened to me with a handful of games over my lifetime.

HDR can be mangled on cheaper sets. Its not quite a perfect, reliable standard, like 4K, right now. I don't agree with the decision, but I understand it.
