Anyone else? My backlog is way too big. Plus I'm not all that good at games so it's annoying to get stuck when I just want to know what happens next. I remember even sections of the last of us drove me insane because I'm so shit at third person shooters.

Was Crysis a good game? My PC couldn't handle it back in the day, but the only thing I ever heard about it was the graphics. Was the gameplay pretty standard or was it actually good?

it's painfully obvious

a masked violent vigilante who hates batman and knows all his tactics shows up out of nowhere

it's extremely obvious it's thomas wayne

It's even more predictable than that.

I liked the game enough I guess, just no where near as much as Origins and City.

I already pointed out Druck's problematic line of "the cost of making popular entertainment that challenges conventions" as insinuating that this game is some groundbreaking genre-defining narrative instead of what it really is. The only thing this game seems to challenge is how much player contempt one can take

Someone that hasn't played a game is trying to claim he knows what it really is because he read spoilers

The closest I get to soda anymore is ginger every once in a while when I'm getting drunk. Most sodas are just too sweet for me now that I don't drink them regularly. I drank a ton when I was a teen though. Thank God I was involved in a lot of sports or I'd probably be a real fat kid.

I wouldve played Metroid Prime 2 on my 60 inch TV but it only has HDMI inputs and a GameCube game does not work on a Wii U without some serious coaxing

You should look into getting an HDMI to RCA converter. Not sure how well they work but Walmart has one for $10.

Okay what the gamers are doing to her is wrong but why is she acting like she had no idea what she participated in

She was literally a model. She lent her likeness to a game. That's what she participated in.

You're basically making "Don't dress that way if you don't want to be raped" argument and changing it to "Don't lend your likeness to a video game character if you don't want death threats."

I dont get what's so hard to understand about MGS's plot. Every game has a theme that it revolves around, and if you pay attention during the cutscenes it's not hard to put it all together

It's not really the plot from each game that's difficult to understand, it's everything that's not explicitly in cutscenes or required codec convos. There's tons of behind-the-scenes stuff going on that you have to go out of your way to read or listen to discover about the story that plenty of gamers just aren't going to see that ends up being important in other games. Didn't 2 have an entire book in it written by Natasha that you have to read to get the entire story? Most gamers aren't going to read that, they're just going to play the game.

You guys are forgetting about ACID 1 and 2 as well, those games were great.

I know they aren't canon, but I agree. I only played, but it was like the only card game I ever got into (besides the Pokemon one on GBC when I was like 8). That game was just pure fun on the PSP.

Who has ever said the word manslut, what lol

I gotta say though, its pretty wild to claim the term "slut" is gender neutral.

It's a pretty old term tbh, haven't heard it in a while.

Why wouldn't you say slut is gender neutral?

Agreed. It's more about your mindset than your actions. If you have a high body count, good on you. Everyone wants to have sex, and you're clearly good at achieving that. But if the quality of people you're hooking up with is consistently low, you're catching diseases, or you're cheating wholesale on your partner and don't care, that's a problem.

While we're at it, abolish the word manslut. Men that are sluts are just that: sluts. There doesn't need to be an identifier before it, slut is a gender neutral word.

Actually I take it back I don't understand 5 because I never listened to the tapes. I wasn't about to have a games story dictated to me.

Honestly? No. And I love that series. I understand the first MGS just fine, but I haven't played Sons of Liberty since I was like 12 and a ton of that game went over my head. Then I played Snake Eater which was straight forward and understandable, and then 4 was a continuation of SoL's insanity I didn't understand just like 5 years later so I forgot everything.

I understand 5 fine enough, but that's because there's not much story there anyway.

Dudes literally been one of the biggest artists for the past DECADE. Not knowing his music is definitely a sign of being sheltered unless you were like 30 already in 2010. You don't have to actively listen to him or like him. I don't do either, and I still know his music, because I don't put blinders on to current pop culture.

It is alarming how many times cheating has been brought up as a solution to this problem. I mean, you do you, but if you'd like to take a more moral path, here are some suggestions.

First, and I cannot express this enough, marriage counseling is absolutely necessary here. It seems you have already tried on your own and she gets defensive. The issue is more on her than on you now (based on what you've shared). A marriage counselor can give her a more neutral third party opinion and likely support you if you've been doing things right. But I get not everyone can afford a marriage counselor (or even convince the other couple to go).

My wife and I have gone through dry spells as well. There have been times I just didn't want it, and times she didn't want it. It can happen for a multitude of reasons, from stress, fatigue, to hormonal problems as others have stated. One suggestion I may recommend is try some foreplay, but without the expectation of sex. Spoon her, touch her seductively, tell her she's beautiful right before bed. I think the other user was right in that she might be self conscious about her weight gain and that affects her sex drive. There was a time when my wife was depressed due to her job being terrible. She wasn't wanting it either. Little romantic things like that in the bedroom, without pressuring her into sex, really helped. It made her feel special. I've learned that a lot of times women don't want full on sex as much as men do, but they do want the intimacy that comes with sex. Give her that intimacy, let her feel good, and she's more likely to give you sex. Probably every other time I did this, she'd get turned on enough that we'd go all the way. Eventually, as her mental health started getting better, she would initiate it herself. Now we're doing just fine. Our sex life was active even when we fostered three difficult toddlers for a year.

If it truly is hormonal, the above may not work. Medication could help. She could have cysts in her ovaries, which affect sex drive. Or thyroid problems. or IBS. There are so many conditions that affect a woman's sex drives and it can make them self-conscious and defensive. There are treatments for this that really help, but she would need to be willing to see a doctor. It's a good idea to see one anyways, sex-related or not. <_<

If none of that seems to work, then I think the problem is more than just sex-related. At that point there is a completely lack of intimacy in your marriage, and if she refuses to even try, then there are deeper-rooted issues. It's up to you at that point if you think the marriage is worth saving or if it's time to call it quits. Fortunately, if you have documented evidence of going to therapists and doing what you can to help her, it will make the divorce easier on you if it comes down to that as judges like to see which party tried harder to make it work.

It's true that marriage isn't easy. It requires a level of maintenance that you don't have to worry about when single or simply dating. For some people, marriage is just not worth the amount of work required to keep it healthy. Personally, the rewards of having a spouse vastly outweigh the work required to keep them happy and your relationship healthy. To have that one person that knows you inside out, that supports you through your toughest times and you with them, to cheer on you during your victories and hate on your enemies for you even though they don't know them. It's amazing. I can't imagine myself in a life without my wife. We have both boosted each other up and have both picked each other up from a dark place at some points in our lives. I just felt I needed to say that because this whole topic puts marriage in such a negative light that it's easy to forget why people do it in the first place.

I admit I skipped to the end of the topic, but this is absolutely the best here.

I used to make a habit of doing it in the middle of the day to clear the day, but my schedule doesn't just let me drop everything and spend 20 minutes doing nothing anymore. Really should find a place to fit it back in though. I don't know if it helped my mental health, but once you can figure out how to really banish excess thoughts while you're doing it you feel amazingly light afterwards.

I've been dating my current girlfriend for over a year now and we met on Bumble.

When I'm single and just want to use them to hook up, I don't have a ton of luck. I live in a college town and I'm out of the general age group that uses the apps for hookups only. When I'm actually looking for a girlfriend, though I have a decent amount of luck. I've had a few relationships start through them.

Try taking the ASVAB, or a sampler. You can keep the score to yourself if it's embarrassing, because the point is you still wouldn't get anywhere close to 20s.

But 20s are the limit for allowing a person to enlist. That is well below the mental capacity required to get your GED without special needs assistance.

I remember when I took the ASVAB my recruiter was shocked I scored in the 90s because so many people walk in, take a shit in their hand, sign their name with it, and walk away. You really have to be one of the dumbest people around to not pass, a sixth grader could ace it.
