Basically they're both babbling, bigoted morons and therefore there is no reason to use their speech patterns/mannerisms as a reason for who to vote for. That's a fucking stupid reason to choose who to vote for anyway. Vote on policy, not style.

I ultimately voted for Biden because he promised to stop financial aid to the genocide in Yemen, which he is currently doing, so I'm actually quite pleased right now despite despising the man.

Hi

End Roll and Tales of the Abyss have my favorite endings, I think.

End Roll literally made me cry myself to sleep after finishing it for the first time and I still can't get through it without sobbing like a little bitch to this day, so... *shrug* No other game has ever hit me that hard, and I consider it to easily have the best downer ending I've ever seen in a video game, but man it's rough. I can't even listen to most of the OST, and that goes tenfold for the music that plays during the final sequences.
https://vgperson.com/games/endroll.htm

Tales of the Abyss, on the other hand, is probably my favorite ambiguous/bittersweet ending.

The FF series has quite a few solid "feel good" endings, like FFIV, V, VI, and IX. I sort of think of LoZ: ALttP and FFIV as having the most classic examples of feel-good endings that actually... you know, resolve things at the end compared to games made before them.

FFVI deserves a mention for having some great ending music, as does Nier: Gestalt/Replicant for Ashes of Dreams.

I really hate the fairy stuff, completely breaks the game but also is agonizingly grindy.

That's fair, but one of the other things the fairy nukes are good for is that if you play multiplayer (I play these games with my sibling) the nukes can make up for the decrease in enemies showing up on the screen. Without the fairies it can actually be kind of hard to get the kill/time requirements if the game isn't putting enough enemies onto the field for you to do so, and the nukes bypass that issue.

Personally I think the real problem is that the fairy nukes should have been on their own meter instead of on the magic meter. They're too easy to spam as they are.

Also I got a fairy, and I can feed it food to level it up, but idk how to find food? I found a square with mushrooms on it, but I captured every fort and got no food so idk.

You have to break the brown pots in the keeps to unlock food. There are guides on which keep each food in each mission can be found in. After you have unlocked a specific food type, the enemies that food corresponds to will start dropping them. If you want to guarentee a drop, play an adjascent mission to the square where you unlocked the food, or turn your system off and on again after exiting the game to respawn keep food drops (if I recall correctly, anyway... might be wrong).

You also get special fairy food if you level up and then release a fairy, though that is grindy af and unnecessary unless you want to be completely, utterly broken.

If you want some recommendations on useful fairy skills:
Special Sponge -> Fill Special Attack -> Special Fountain/+
Magic Sponge -> Fill Magic -> Magic Fountain/+
Wall of Water/+
Repair Technician
Health Sponge (if you get hit a lot)

The first two listed serve the same functions, but with varying degrees of usefulness. You can use more than one to replicate the function multiple times on one fairy, resulting in some pretty hard curb-stomps of missions. I ordered them from least powerful to most powerful.

The first two on the list are very useful, all-purpose skills that help both against any high-end foe and mitigating kill count issues.

Wall of Water helps with damage requirements/survival. It's VERY useful, but it will disappear if you swap to a different character so use it carefully.

Repair Technician can salvage an otherwise hopeless mission by healing your base if it starts dropping health rapidly.

Health Sponge is... meh, but if you're using the weapon skill that increases your damage when you're at full hearts, you could use it early own before you have wall of water, I suppose.

You will typically get the most use out of 2x Bombos (fire) fairies, btw. That is an extremely powerful set-up. Other fairy element nukes are a bit more circumstantial in their usefulness.

Chickpeas/garbonzo beans are a typical addition to curries my mother makes, which helps with texture/flavor variation as well.

I recently had a vegetable curry with tomatoes in it and that was pretty good. I tend not to like cooked tomatoes so I was surprised.

We typically keep banana/pineapple, mango chutney, and coconut and peanuts around when eating curry. Those are all good to use with curry though it does depend on the nature of said curry, of course.

Trying not to overlap with other posters...

Bayonetta 1-2 have some great tracks.

The Castlevania series in general is great for music.

Journey to Silius has one of my favorite NES osts.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rh7WeK6oaJI

Lord of the Ring Vol 1 on the SNES has some REALLY good music even though the game is garbage.
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL876FDDE7954E14B6

Pretty much anything Go Shiina and Michiru Yamane have worked in is good. So Tales of Legendia/Zesteria... Skullgirls...

Dead Cells.

Darkest Dungeon has some GREAT music.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ja1texxSyj8

Edit: Forgot another obscure ost I like. The SNES version of Dungeon Master had some music made for that particular release and I've always liked it.
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-vD6rIjXrcJyIR6CgKB7JJnKL4j7VoGs

The Sonic series, Fire Emblem series, and Dragon Quest series all have some great tracks though I think their quality is a little more inconsistent than some others mentioned.

This is why you should ignore most things about politicians save for their political actions and whether or not they've committed crimes; you don't want your perspective to be colored by the apparent personality/mannerisms of the politician. The only exception is that you should pay attention to the nature of their rhetoric because of how it affects the populace (Trump being the poster boy for why).

Attacking Congress is literally the worst possible thing someone could do in the event that one thinks the democratic process is being subverted. There is a reason why there is a Constitutional Monarchy movement among the Trump supporters and it is NOT because they like democracy. You're being too generous with that 2.5%, imo. XD

Doing the thing that is less scary is cowardice. You are afraid to keep living through the pain.

This is the stupidest statement in this topic so far.
People aren't "afraid of living through pain." They are sick and tired of living through pain, and, for the record, ableists spewing ignorant bullshit at them 24/7 while they're suffering does not alleviate that exhaustion.

Being miserable is a phase.

This is projection. Good to know you get relief. Many do not.

You will break the chains and grow one day. Chapters change even if it takes years of pain.

"Just grow out of your diseases and traumas, guys! Absolutely everyone can do this and if you don't, it's because you're weak! And if you can't, you're supposed to just suck it up that you're going to suffer every day until you die and I want you to live with that suffering as long as possible because if you don't it makes me uncomfortable and to avoid that discomfort I'm going to dehumanize and insult you when you're dead to make myself feel better."

I do not look down on the mentally weak by the way.

People are at the highest risk of suicide BEFORE/AFTER their lowest low, because they still feel the same way, but now they regain their ability to take actions with effort. Cognizant of the fact that they are going to lose that motivation in the future as their condition worsens again, treatment for suicidal ideation INCREASES suicide risk.

aHappySacka posted...

It's cowardly, shameful and self-centered, while there are legitimate reasons for it like terminal illness and such there is otherwise never an excuse to do it.

It is an insidious notion that there is a noteworthy distinction between being expected to live with chronic physical pain and being expected to live with chronic psychological pain that makes one more legitimate than the other. This idea is not supported by science and indeed there is research that outright contradicts it. You're just wrong. Terminal depression is a physical illness because illnesses of the mind ARE illnesses of the body.

As for cowardly? You either believe pain is a valid reason to want to end one's life or you don't. My aunt was not a coward because she wanted to die. Overriding survival instincts is not something cowardice plays any part in. It's usually the opposite; fear of death will stay a sufferer's hand, though not indefinitely as your condition deteriorates.

Self-centered? Well, let's look at the main reasons people commit suicide, then:

They're in pain. We already covered this.

Trauma. Wow, how selfish of them to be traumatized. Fuck those people, amirite? Socioeconomic factors such as financial or social ruin (abuse, or familial rejection, for example). This is just a more specific variant on trauma.

They believe they're a burden/the world is better off without them. Huh, that's literally the opposite of selfishness. *

They are experiencing some sort of delusion/hallucination/compulsion. No selfishness there.

They are experiencing some sort of religious/philosophical crisis regarding either life, death, or sin (for example, if you tell a child that children aren't responsible for their sins until they come of age, you've inadvertently taught that child that they are best off killing themselves before they grow to adulthood in order to avoid Hell). Not as common, but this has nothing to do with whether or not the person is self-centered and more to do with the person's upbringing or religious environment.

.

Really, it seems to me like you just want to piss on people who are suffering to make yourself feel better.

* I've literally seen people say shit like what you just said in one breath and then in the next say the world is better off without them anyway. This attitude is literally part of the problem. I don't know why the fuck so many people think that treating dead people like shit for killing themselves will somehow encourage those who struggle with suicidal ideation to not do so. It has the opposite effect, because you are invalidating their pain and showing them that you are not someone they can trust with it.

---

Hi

Physician-assisted suicide should be destigmatized and more readily available. My aunt, who was terminally ill, went through the whole approval process of it only for her doctor to block her because of his own religious beliefs. So she tried to kill herself at home alone instead and failed. That was fun.

I've struggled with suicidal ideation since I was eight. There's nothing selfish about losing a fight you never asked for. It's just sad.

Everyone should have a rehab clinic

There are multiple towns in that area that have pretty much nothing, not just in terms of drug treatment, but in terms of health care, period. I mean they have a dearth of HOSPITALS, and what they do have is notoriously poor quality. The nearest hospital has been rated as one of the worst hospitals in the country in the past and I haven't heard that it's improved at all, though I admit I haven't lived there for years; my friends who still live there indicated that it hasn't changed at all. The region is in desperate need of more medical facilities of every kind.

Hi

ParanoidObsessive posted...

If the town as a whole doesn't want it, an argument could easily be made that the person who was fired was effectively abusing his own power and influence for personal agenda and was rightfully removed from the position.

No, because that's not how the law works. Stop being a contrarian; you're embarrassing yourself.
Bush literally would have had to break the law by illegally rejecting permits and authorizations to do what you're suggesting. You're literally suggesting that it is appropriate that he was fired for not breaking the law because following the law and the obligations of his position is "an abuse of power."
Btw, you would know this if you had actually clicked on the links provided.

do the people in the town actually WANT a rehab clinic?

Yes, because they have a horrific drug epidemic and need appropriate facilities to address it. A wealthy minority just wants the addicts to die and the Q-anoners like fearmongering about the Native Americans in the area.
