I haven't played Monster Hunter in years. Started it, got to the first mission, got sidetracked, forgot to go back.

I'm a mother hen

found a new game and never went back

I have a special place in my heart for Dodogama

Anyone cool if I drop a paragraph on something I'm thinking over in life to be scanned with the analysis visor? Or should I maybe not? Pretty personal. Maybe I shouldn't. Not a great idea to?

I use hunting horn, charge blade, gunlance

I have a speed run build of me killing lucent nargacuga in mh3u in 3 min and 4 seconds using hammer

I need a job because I don't want to go insane and money=better control but I don't want to get one because I'm scared I'll go insane there or someone there'll be mean and I will let time go by and not focus on my writing. There, I said it to a bunch of people.

It’s very valid what you’re feeling

I didn't play much monster hunter but I loved the lagombi

True, Ronin. True. Also autocorrect tried turning Ronin into Robin just now

humble marsh
craggy canyon
# dusty hedge That's not insensitive

Well, I’m glad. But whatever you’re feeling it’s pretty normal and those “idk how I’ll feel” feelings are nothing but anxiety telling you lies.

slender quartz
#

...I've been called worse.

craggy canyon
#

It’s been like 16 years since I played it

humble marsh
#

I've only ever played world and rise

wise stream
#

But fatalis is awful

craggy canyon
#

I can say I’m pretty knowledgeable

#

And good at it

steady vale
dusty hedge
#

Yeah. I agree for the most part about the anxiety. Independence is so important to me in life. But I gave it up. I shouldn't have. But I did.

humble marsh
#

also insect glaive is the best and if you disagree you are wrong

steady vale
#

His blank stare is so precious

primal kelp
#

should i get rise or iceborne

humble marsh
#

rise

wise stream
#

Iceborne imo

steady vale
primal kelp
#

im not made of money >:[

steady vale
#

Iceborne was great bcaCoolThumbs

dusty hedge

And without making money or Independence the existential terror has really ramped up. And I hate being bullied in my current living situation.

I dislike the changes they made to the glaive in rise though
I liked collecting all buffs at once :(

It's alright. Nothing physical. Many people have it worse.

True. I mean like... being 36 and having no friends barely leaving my environment and having cut out all the toxic 'friends' I used to have... anyplace is better than no place, possibly.

Another thing I'm thinking about is I could get a job with my degree eventually. But I have 7 years retail experience and could probably have a job far sooner doing something I highly dislike the thought of, but I'd be making money at least.

can we go back to games that are max 50gb

Have the attention span of a goldfish with games, but I enjoy rise

elder shale

I went on this cruise a few years back though and after my grandfather died, I don't understand why, but I silently promised him I'd never go back to retail. Don't know why cause I wasn't close to him... he was my last grandparent that went though.

Can you play MH offline?

Yup the game was originally offline actually

rotund finch
# craggy canyon Exactly

I learned a word from a friend on a mobile game once, remember the word forget the language 🤣

Multiplayer is like a plus feature

The game is originally meant to play solo

It has always been

I've been on a Minecraft thing lately.

then why does it have so many raid bosses?

MH is very grindy, lol. MH Rise is the least grindy one and the easiest to get into but even then there's plenty of grind

primal kelp

you can play mhw offline

craggy canyon

Mh isn’t grindy at all

Idk what you’re talking about

Mhr makes multiplayer easier at least

dont think mhw is it the same vein of grindy as lets say warframe

I'm more convinced I need to get a job for control now, but I'm overthinking it now I think.

I can either wait to get a better job with my degree, or definitely get one faster since I have retail experience, but hate my job. And I kind of made this silent promise to my grandfather after he passed away that I'd never work retail again. Dunno why since I wasn't very close to him, but he was my last grandparent.

anyway for those who are interested

#

I wrote about an interesting and somewhat sad piece of history found in an old tavern in New York City in #1143857526132199495

#

I have a feeling you like history

#

I also have a feeling you have an English long sword somewhere in your house

flat echo
modest meadow
#

Close enough for me

#

I feel like all history lovers have swords

#

Is that accurate?

flat echo
#

a lot of them do lol

#

although I only got mine a few months ago

modest meadow
#

To be fair, swords are cool

flat echo
#

prior to that the only bladed weapon I had was a WWI Bayonet

vague hawk
#

One of my older friends has a longsword.

flat echo
#

a real one or a reproduction?

vague hawk
#

I feel like he's told me it's real, but I have a feeling it's most likely the latter lol.

flat echo
#

I highly doubt its real, because if it was we'd be talking about a sword worth 20k - 50k

vague hawk
#

Exactly.

modest meadow

Although there are also old reproductions as the Victorian era was famous for making reproductions of old medieval weapons

How come?

My uncle has a katana that he was cleaning one day and sliced his hand quite badly. He had to get his fingers sewn back on apparently.

Man, life in the old days looks so much more interesting. Except for the famine, disease, patronage, slavery, and uhhh doctors

Mainly the doctors

This is a German Two handed sword from the 16th Century

found at the Metropolitan Museum

vague hawk
#

That's sick.

flat echo
#

Some medieval and renaissance weapons have been expertly cared for, probably owned by wealthy families for centuries

#

although those are rare, and usually found in museums

modest meadow
#

Makes sense

flat echo
#

you'd be surprised the kind of stuff that survives and in good condition too

#

This spearhead dates to the time of the Trojan War

#

making it around 3000 years old

modest meadow
flat echo
#

It was found in Cyprus, and beyond that archeologists dont know much more about it

vague hawk
#

I saw some amazing things when I visited family in London as a kid. We went to France and Belgium as well, sadly not Germany despite us having extended Swiss German Family members. But while I was very young, visiting the castles definitely stood out to me the most. Especially when you see the torture chambers and dungeons.

modest meadow
#

Could they tell which side used it? Greeks or…Turks? (They were Turkish right?)

flat echo
#

No not Turkish

vague hawk
#

I was also obsessed with any and all old Dragon art that we saw. I remember that too.

modest meadow
#

Damn

flat echo
#

Turkish people literally didn't exist at the time

modest meadow
#

Wow

#

What we’re they then? I forgot, might’ve been Finnish

flat echo
#

Remember, we're talking about a spearhead that dates to about 1200 BCE

modest meadow
#

Oh yeah

#

Hold on

flat echo
#

Most likely it was Greek

#

but due to its age, historians are unsure

modest meadow
#

Yeah, apparently Troy was in Finland

I knew I..knew it

#

How did people survive 16-17tj century doctors

#

One scrape and no more arm

flat echo
#

that's the thing

#

they didn't.

modest meadow
#

Makes sense

#

Doctors in that era had to be somewhat mental to actually think those were good ideas

flat echo
#

they believed some weird stuff

even up to the 19th century

Like bloodletting right?

I have a medical book from 1885 and half of the remidies are downright insane

I like speaking to other individuals who are passionate about things like I am, but not necessarily the same things as myself. I was interested in History more as a kid, but I've always had passions for very specific things. History of Space Exploration or Aircraft for example... History of Elevators lmao.

Dinosaurs don't count I suppose. Well, they're part of Earth's History, just not human history lol.

The individual who owned and signed it was John Northwood

Do you have an antique bible anywhere?

a soldier who fought in the early years of the war before he was wounded at the Battle of Gaines Mill in 1862

#

I see America.

#

He actually had his arm amputated after the battle

flat echo
#

In the 20+ years between the Battle and this book he learned how to write with his left hand

Good for him, he’s like me

#

Except for some aspects

I assume you still retain your two upper limbs?

This is him

Oh wow.

Also do you have any of the Roman slingshot stones with the messages carved into them?

But right now I cannot, obviously.

Or rather, how small of a plane

I have a collection of old ocean liner items

My favorite item

an origina letter written aboard RMS Olympic

#

Titanic's sister

#

The letter is on an official White Star Line letter card

#

dated September 10th 1932

#

It reads

#

Saturday, September 10 - 32

I Have been on the ocean since Thursday night. We are sailing along fine. The weather is perfect so far. Expect to reach New York Wednesday night. I hope to hear from you upon arrival. Will stop Hotel Bristol for a day or so. Hoping this finds you all well.

modest meadow
#

Is it like a wife talking to her husband? Or the other way

flat echo
#

Husband to wife

#

This letter was written during the Battle of Okinawa by Lt. James Winter who served aboard the ship USS Pasadena

#

He was writing to his wife

#

That last page reads

#

My work goes on as usual - no better surely, but no worse either, and I have plenty of pictures of you on my desk, and they help a good deal. And maybe, before too awfully much longer, I can quit work each day at a decent hour and come home to my Beloved - and each step homeward each evening will be exciting and wonderful; each kiss will be as new and fresh as if it were our first; and each moment we're together will be a lifetime of happiness in itself -

Goodnight, Dear Heart - my wife! -

Always

Jim

#

I have a whole collection of his letters, from his time in the Navy Reserves Academy in 1942 to the last year of his service in 1945

#

They were written to his wife Pearl Winter

#

Pearl passed away in 1990 and he passed away in 2006. They were married for 48 years

#

He ended up becoming a horn teacher after the war, and was so popular there's still a scholarship at the university he taught at in his name

#

the James H. Winter Brass Scholarship

modest meadow
#

Man you’re making me want to go on Wikipedia and just look up random things related to WW2

#

I keep forgetting we’re currently making history with this whole Russia V Ukraine stuff and pandemic

#

I wonder if that’s how they felt back then

flat echo
#

maybe it was, but who knows

#

they certainly didnt talk about it really in their letters

modest meadow
#

Guess they didn’t want to acknowledge that they could die from a nuke at anytime

#

Now that they were created

flat echo
#

well in James Winter's case, more regular bombs

#

In fact

#

there's footage on Youtube of his ship shooting down a Kamakazie pilot literally a week after that letter was written

#

It crashed just behind USS Pasadena

I'm so glad I spent money on Cyberpunk and not Starfield

formal hawk

They did the same thing with Fallout 76; released a terribly overhyped buggy game and by the time they fixed the game everyone stopped playing

primal kelp
#

i bought it played it, they nerfed melee and did a shot job of updating the game to feel good unless you do specific things

#

5/10 game for me

#

I don't game on Steam.

#

At least, not for years.

formal hawk
#

I game on steam because I like to keep my games in the same place for the most part

#

I don’t really play a lot of games so it’s easy to do that

tardy juniper
#

I game on steam because it was the only game in town, and I'm not abandoning my library

slender quartz
#

I don't really use my PC for gaming. Too much hassle, and I can't do keyboard controls.

i like being able to play and use discord and the internet all in one package

tardy juniper

that was an odd noise sequence

#

there was a loud thud, then the bang BANG of fireworks

I’ve been playing through Far Cry 3 recently and I’m gonna be sad when it sits in my steam library when I play through it

formal hawk
tardy juniper
#

You can hide games from your library

tardy juniper
formal hawk
#

Yeah but that doesn’t get rid of the fact that I spent money on it to only play it once

primal kelp
#

then play it again

formal hawk
#

Even though I got it for $5 it feels like I got scammed 😭

tardy juniper
#

I think of it this way, a movie ticket costs $15+ here, and that's a mere 2 hours of entertainment, so if a game gives me more than 4 hours entertainment, it's worth $30

formal hawk
#

I seek new experiences like it’s candy

#

I watched a really good movie recently and I am so angry I can’t enjoy it again like it’s my first time seeing it

formal hawk
#

I’ve found that if I play less I can enjoy the game for a longer period of time

#

So I’ve stopped playing for as long as I usually do

tardy juniper
#

I'm so stoned most of the time, I can almost always replay a agame

formal hawk
#

Even when I’m high I get bored of them 😢

#

It’s like my brain needs new things constantly

nasa Astronomy Pic of the Day: Afternoon Analemma

Explanation: An analemma is that figure-8 curve you get when you mark the position of the Sun at the same time each day for one year. To make this one, a 4x5 pinhole camera was set up looking north in southern New Zealand skies. The shutter was briefly opened each clear day in the afternoon at 4pm local time exposing the same photosensitized glass plate for the year spanning September 23, 2022 to September 19, 2023. On two days, the winter and summer solstices, the shutter was opened again 15 minutes after the main exposure and remained open until sunset to create the sun trails at the bottom and top of the curve. The equinox dates correspond to positions in the middle of the curve, not the crossover point. Of course, the curve itself is inverted compared to an analemma traced from the northern hemisphere. And while fall begins today at the Autumnal Equinox for the northern hemisphere, it's the Spring Equinox in the south.

Extremely off topic. But has anyone else watched the new season of the Wheel of Time? Bc I am not okay. I’ve suffered extreme emotional damage

tardy juniper

It’s on Amazon prime. It’s worth it. If you like game of thrones you’d like this too. Very comparable in some ways. Wheel of time is a bit more fantasy driven but depicted in the same realistic manner that GOT is

# inland grotto Who’s that? Another WoT author?

No, she’s another fantasy author. She wrote A Court of Thorns and Roses series, Crescent City and Throne of Glass. I loved ACOTAR.. I’m reading Throne of Glass series now but it’s kind of youthish. Not crazy about it. But people are theorizing that her books are something like a multiverse. Therefore I am committed. I’ll read crescent city last just bc the second book was just released. And i know I know it’s a sin amongst book nerds but i like paperbacks. And it’s not out in paperback yet

inland grotto
#

Oh.

#

Paperbacks are cheap, I can see why you like them in today’s cost-of-living-crisis world.

swift cradle
#

That’s fair too.. I mainly just like the feel of paperbacks.. but i want hardbacks now bc all the pretty dust covers I can buy

inland grotto

Hardbacks are admittedly a whole ton better in terms of durability, and I love that they come with inbuilt bookmarks because of dust covers!

swift cradle
#

Do you read mostly science fiction or fantasy? Etc

inland grotto

It’s “dogear,” lol. I like fantasy, but have a ton of Halo novels as well.

#

I also tend to write in the margins about little things in the background that could have lore stuff bound into them.

Ha! Lol I never knew that. I’ve been saying it wrong forever 😅

#

I read a few of the halo novels years ago

inland grotto
#

Which ones?

I read them back in early HS

They were probably the early Nylund set. Halo: Combat Evolved, the book, and so on.
