Honestly, while I am excited and happy to see Mr Puzzles back, and while I do enjoy the direction SMG4'S taking with him now more wanting to directly change the SMG4 show on his own (as well as have these kinds of episodes becoming a recurring thing in his attempts), I would have honestly rewrote his return to where, when SMG4 realizes what just happened, he looks around only to see the Puzzlevision Box missing as he quickly disregards it as we then cut to Mr Puzzles in what would be akin to Alastor's breakdown in Hazbin Hotel, with Mr Puzzles making it out by a hair and still being relatively weak.
He attempts to use his powers, but they don't work as well, similarly to when Mario busted up his screen in Puzzlevision, going through his own breakdown as a result of all that has happened including his defeat... That is until he has an epiphany with the episode playing on his screen, with him then smiling creepily while the darkness of the room he's in surrounds him as he says "So, I can't get my own show? Fine... I'll just have to take yours..." as the screen fades to black... only for an old man holding a shotgun to turn on the lights screaming "YOU KIDS BETTER GET OFF MY LAWN" as Mr Puzzles screams in terror, with his loss of power and cowardice indicating that he won't nearly be as much of a threat... Atleast for now
It would also be pretty funny if he, just like many struggling artists, ended up getting a job as a barista (I mean, he doesn't have his power and he still needs somewhere to live as he puts his plan into action)... Particularly if it was III's Coffee and Bombs, as I can just imagine Mr Puzzles putting on the most fake disguise possible and nearly everyone (except Mario) immediately knowing it's him but playing along due to how little of a threat he poses and how pathetic he seems, with SMG3 definitely having fun being able to boss him around.
I think this would be a nice way of integrating him into the main cast while still having him be a recurring antagonist with his plan. Heck, maybe have Karen also have a job at the cafe (which wouldn't really be surprising for her) and have the two actually become friends, with both hating their jobs and being easily annoyed with the antics of the SMG4 Crew (particularly Mario). The idea of Mr Puzzles genuinely becoming friends with someone would definitely be interesting to see as his obsession with television was started by the fact that he didn't have any friends growing up.

Dude. I forgot how much i loved this game. Started a new profile on my ps5 to get the full experience again, and i beat the game in six deaths.
It was.. shockingly easy second time around? I beat the first three bosses on my second death, only dying the first time to the big lunging guy, and i think that’s kinda scripted.
Gonna keep returning (see what i did there?) to relive the rest of the story, but I’m glad i did it
Also, after two play throughs, i think the dreadbound is garbage— electro pylon all the way. Anyone actually use the dreadbound??

I just beat it a couple of days ago and got the true ending. I can now say with confidence that, in my opinion, it was one of the best feeling and playing Metroidvanias I’ve played in recent memory. Since it’s on sale now on the PS store (until 5/23), you would be doing yourself a disservice if you haven’t already picked it up.
From what I’ve heard, the original DG was solid in its own right (albeit with a rocky launch), but Afterlife adds so much more to the point where it feels significantly different and more polished. The combat is some of the best I’ve seen in a 2D soulslike, with parrying and perfect blocking feeling just as fun to pull off as they do in 3D FromSoft games, the controls are tight, the MV exploration and abilities (although most feel like standard fare for the genre) are utilized flawlessly and only add to the combat. Also, a couple of these bosses are some of the most cleverly designed I’ve seen in a while (e.g. fighting the Tundra Lord on an icy seesaw, and the polarity mechanic with Bysurge).
Also, in my opinion, the story, writing, and voice acting (shout out to the 🐐s Matt Mercer and Aleks Le) blew me away with how excellent they were. If you plan on playing this game, I urge you to go in as blind as possible, especially if you plan on going for the true ending. Trust me when I say that you do not want anything pertaining to Ending A and this game’s main antagonist ruined for you.
However, some non-spoiler advice I can give is to start with the soldier class (prioritize blocking and perfect guarding), and if you want the aforementioned true ending, beat 5 heroic boss rematches, keep “that” stat below 100 before the final boss fight and go from there.
My only real gripes are that there are a couple of noticeable bugs that had me stuck in the geometry from time to time and made me utilize the suicide blade to get out of it, and that unless you choose to play as the Acolyte class and can mend broken death idols, the boss runbacks can get annoying if you’re reckless. Also, the platinum trophy is a pain to unlock thanks to the Perfect Run trophy.
That aside, I urge you, beg you, to give this game a try if you haven’t already, especially for the price. Show Jean Canellas and Alex Kubodera some love.

First time played kenshi and feel like sharing its story.
Decided to play mainly solo character RPG style. When I learned about fractions i was scared to make any of them enemy. As they are all very cool. Then I discovered holy nation and wow fuck these guys.
I started my endless solo cruciate aganist them with satisfying progress during it. (being on level of holy sentinel up to being stronger than inquisitor ahhh so good). First goal was military base next to Stack. It was going good and then they hurt my leg badly, couldnt run away and took me prisoner and steal my eq.
Easy peasy prison break time. My eq was in box next to my cell(idiots!) but without weapon. Resteal it but couldnt make it fist fighting, back to cell. Break again but they moved my eq(Smart!) and i had no idea where it was. I tried steal eq from sleeping soldiers but my stealing level was to low(and didnt know then how to cheese it) and i get only free toughness training.
Next day i was mining stones as obidient slave should. Outside the base. This is my chance, i tried to run away but learned the hard way shackles movement penalty. Guy throw me to the ground but he was crazy, for some reason he didnt stop beating me while yelling "work harder! , arbait macht frei! " or something. I lost my arm and was barelly alive. Lost my hope for escaping.
Solo escaping that is. Took one of my "characters" that is cooper miners and decided to make it ultimate assasin, thief, lord of the night. After extensive training went to base during night for rescue mission. And it was going great. Stealth killing is op. But I failed at some point and landed in cell next to my hero. That night there was a lot of other prisoners. We opened them all as much at the same time as possible and run away when soldiers were dealing with them. That is my hero run away, assasin sacrificed himself and will be forever remembered for this.
Getting myself robo arm and went on exploring and training. When I come back i relatively easly destroyed Stack with Seta. I was feeling confident with blister hill but oh boy I was wrong. Infinite army respawning(?) faster than i was killing them. After hours city was full of crawling people and it seriously became depressing. Like im on the real war but im the bad guy. I have seen holy phoenix, even managed to lure him to 1v1 but he beat my ass without taking any damage.
Went exploring again, got meitou weapon from fishman boss and discovered crossbows. Gave the crossbow to random copper miner nad he was kicking ass from the start. Now with team of 2 blister hill got obliterated and received princess as reward. I havent seen half of map but called it a day with this run.
I started few other short Self restricted runs and boy, this game have much potential for roleplaying. So much is happening between fractions, especially on United cities territory. Its a mess there. You really have read it all? Thanks.

do do do do do do do do do
I'm packed and I'm holding, I'm smiling, she's living, she's golden and she lives for me, says she lives for me, Ovation, what a motivation, she comes round and she goes down on me, And I make her smile, like a drug for you, Do ever what you want to do, Coming over you, Keep on smiling, what we go through. One stop to the rhythm that divides you, And I speak to you like the to the verse, Chop another line like a coda with a curse, come on like a freak show takes the stage. We give them the games we play, she say, I want something else, to get me through this, Semi-charmed kind of life baby, baby, I want something else, I'm not listening when you say, Good-bye. The sky it was gold, it was rose, I was taking sips of it through my nose, And I wish I could get back there, Some place back there, Smiling in the pictures you would take, Doing crystal myth, Will lift you up until you break, It won't stop, I won't come down, I keep stock, With a tick tock rhythm a bump for the drop, And then I bumped up. I took the hit I was given, And I bumped again, And I bumped again. How do I get back there to, The place where I fell asleep inside you? How do I get myself back to, The place where you said, I want something else to get me through this, semi-charmed kind of life baby, baby, I want something else, I'm not listening when you say, good-bye, I believe in the sand beneath my toes, The beach gives a feeling, An earthy feeling, I believe in the faith that grows, And the four right chords can make me cry, When I'm with you I feel like I could die. And that would be all right, All right, When the plane came in, She said she was crashing, The velvet it rips, In the city we tripped, On the urge to feel alive, But now I'm struggling to survive, Those days you were wearing, That velvet dress, You're the priestess, I must confess, Those little red panties, They pass the test, Slide up around the belly, Face down on the mattress, One, And you hold me, And we're broken. Still it's all that I want to do. Just a little now Feel myself a head made of the ground, I'm scared but I'm not coming down no no And I won't run for my life, She's got her jaws now locked down her in smile but nothing is all right, All right, And I want something else, To get me through this, life baby I want something else Not listening when you say Goodbye, Goodbye, Goodbye, Goodbye The sky was gold it was rose I was taking sips of it through my nose And I wish i could get back there Some place back there In the place we used to start I want something else

So we all know its beautiful, we know it has an amazing story, but what i wanna know, how's the gameplay?
I remember seeing some trailers on this game way back that looked pretty awesome, but it only now came to pc, and im alot less sure, i want a game that feels like im playing out the fights in vagabond or something y'know?, quick and dangerous feeling sword fights, where one wrong move decides the entire battle, (something i believe seeing quite a bit of in the trailers) but more recently im hearing its sort of just assassin's creed but better, which is alot less interesting tbh, along with it being described as tedious im worried it'll disappoint as im someone who really likes sinking their teeth into a games combat and having to really learn it, did the people who call it tedious just not pick the hardest difficulty or does this games strengths not really lay in the combat?

Hello and thanks for stopping by. As the title says, I am searching for that person who will complete me. Someone who is as passionate and loving as I am. Someone who wants to invest in me as badly as I want to invest in them. I want a partnership. Companionship and support. That person who will make the sun a little brighter when it rises each day.
A little about me. I am 22 years old. I work full time right now and I really enjoy what I do but it's just a stepping stone. I was going to school to be an actor and that is still what I plan to pursue professionally. I'm hoping to move to a more theater heavy area and break into the industry someday in the near-ish future. I am very passionate and easily excitable. I am a person who loves to talk about anything and everything so if you prefer a quiet partner, this would be a good time to move along lol. I am a huge nerd and I enjoy a lot of different things. Movies, video games, crafting, writing, journaling, singing, listening to music, traveling are just a few things that really capture my interest. I am definitely a homebody but I am willing to adapt for the right person. Theater has taught me to be very extroverted when I need to be although I am an introvert at heart.
I am looking for someone who is kind and caring. Who isn't afraid to express how he feels and get in touch with me. I am wanting something that will last. So if you are looking for short term I'm afraid we won't be a good match either. If, however, you are ready to find a meaningful connection that we will hopefully carry with us for a good long time then please feel free to reach out. Just a few other things. I am 420 friendly and it's important to me that my future partner be as well or is at least comfortable with me doing it. Also, I would really prefer something in person at this time but I'd be willing to try something online if I meet someone I just really connect with. If any of this has caught your interest, please reach out! I am looking forward to hearing from you.

I'm 18f and I'm the eldest daughter and middle child, probably a nasty mix but regardless.
I have 6 siblings but only really interact with 4 of them because we live together along with our parents 0
every since I was younger I've always felt like I was a second priority.
Since I was the child that wasn't trouble and obedient I guess I just was given as much attention as my siblings.
My dad isn't to consistent with being around us but me more, he acted like he was annoyed or didn't care or he did care but didn't bother.
When I was born I guess he was happy, he and my mom and grandma named me after a chick who was allegedly murdered.
When I was 2 he sat me down infront of horror movies and by the time my younger sister Emily was born(i was 4), he was already having me watch things like snapped or talking about a case were children like me were murdered. I was practically desensitized to horror and gore by 8 years old.
My sister and other siblings occupied his attention.
Even my 2 eldest brother who aren't his occupied his attention more than I did.
As tike went on I grew distant and I went through thing I refused to mention. When my sister started dating he was protective, but when I was being stalked he simply couldn't care less, actually none of my family cared.
Apparently being the ugly child means I can't have that stuff happen to me, that's what I got from there lack of concern.
Graduation came and he came and I was happy but quickly left and hung out with my sister after while I went out and ate with my mom and her now ex, and then went home, teared up and went to sleep, because while I was home and sad that I wasn't the center of attention at my graduation my dad and sister were hanging out, my brothers were gone and my mom also left.
As time continued to go on I just gave up on life, lacked hygiene, any substance of importance and just wasted away. He didn't notice and all my mom did was complain I have no life.
When ever he got home and wanted to go somewhere he would let my sister tag along but I was a second though, even when I was next to her, he would only ask her, and they would go.
When my mom confronted this behavior my dad was shocked and stuttered by I could tell he was annoyed.
The behavior continued.
When ever I was around my dad he would do the bare minimum to pay attention to me and more so pay attention to my sister.
Meanwhile on the other hand my sister would give me attitude, probably because she didn't wanna lose dad's attention but regardless, it wasn't a excuse to treat me like that.
Today something happened, I was decluttering, My dad force me to come out Into the kitchen while I was already stress and mad over decluttering things, to strip corn, he already knew I had been trying to get rid and clean. then while helping my sister with the corn I said "instead of lathering thw corn in butter, just put a glob on and roll it up in the tin foil, because wee gonna put more on anyway"
We started to debate on it which let to her says she was right and was gonna be the bigger person since I wanted to argue like a brat.
I told her "no your not the bigger person and I'm not angry I'm just say this way is more efficient, and quick, and this is the way I did it with dad last time"
She keep say she was the bigger person and better than me, I couldn't even respond and then my dad came into the kitchen, I asked him about it and he said the same thing i did to my sister about the way I mention being the quicker way and ther being no wrong way nessacarily.
But my sister continued to spout that she was right and alway gonna be better than me. I turned to him and looked him dead in the eye while my sister was still spouting bs about being better and bigger person. And said "she makes me wanna hang my self" I said it so it would end the now, because I say it jokingly when I start to get annoyance wanna move topics. And then from behind me I hear her say " I hope you do"
And I kinda froze, me and my dad were still making eye contact, I knew he saw my eyes start to water, but he ignored it, walked away and started to cut potatoes. I stayed calm, trying not to cry in front of them, I was also in shock, like my body just froze and I started to tear up more, so I calmly spoke as I held in my tears and ask if I could go to my room. He Asked me if I want to I said yes and got up but he ask for a hug so I walk up to him, hugged him and then went to my room.
I got into my room turn off my lights and rolled up into a blanket and cried, I cried so hard I couldn't breathe
The worst part is that my thought process was "I hope my dad comes to comfort me like he dose my sister"
But already knew that wouldn't happen.
He just stay in the kitchen and continues what he was doing with my sister.
So I'm laying on my bed angry and crying, because of them and crying harder because I'm thinking of the most grotesque ways die, and even more angry because I lost the keys To my safe which my knife was in.
I never was able to get the knife out of my safe, I fell asleep crying and then when I woke up I just layed there, thinking "I don't understand why dad didn't come to comfort me, but I already knew he wouldnt"
When I got up for dinner I decide I wasn't going to speak, so I tired to eat and thye left soon after.
And so while eating i kept thinking about the situation and I spat up for back on to my plate. I couldn't eat. So I threw away the food away and left back to my room and now I'm here.
I haven't spoken a word to my sister in 5 hours and haven't spoken a word to my dad either.
The situation dosnt feel real, I cant believe she would say for me to do it over corn.
Maybe It's a bad joke to make when I wanna change topic, but that coldness and anger in her voice.
It's surreal, I feel fuzzy and hungry, I still haven't eaten. And have a headache.
My body feels restless and I feel tired.
Urge for death has left me now and I've only every wanted to die passively, but regardless.
I thank my cats for playing with those keys and losing them, because my head wasn't in the right state.
It is now but I'm still recovering, I'm gonna go to bed, sleep it off. Maybe things will be back to normal.
Even now, I can help but feel remorse for my sister, our mom excuses her behavior as being a Teenager and out mom might wanna move out of our childhood home, meanwhile my dad is still acting like it's fine. She feels like our parents coddle her, and I feel bad, more than I should considering what's she's said and how she's treated me.
I don't know what to do.

All the great things about us and all the things we need to improve were on full display and in the end, it’s just not quite good enough to win a championship… yet.
The foundation is there. A team that moves the ball and plays the right way. They play for each other and defend hard. Not to mention the two way superstar leading the charge from the front.
But the lack of size and experience was also on show. Not to single out our two rookies but Chet not being strong enough to grab defensive rebounds consistently down the stretch and Cason going 1/7 on mostly great looks were two things that lost us this game.
And that’s okay. They’re rookies. We’ve been spoiled by how awesome they’ve been all season. There’s no shame in the moment being too big for them this early in their careers. The lessons and growth opportunities these two guys as well as the rest of the team will get from this experience will be what leads this team to success… but only if they take them.
There’s a lot of work to be done this off-season but I have complete faith this exhilarating season and great playoff run will be the making of this team.
Congratulations on a fantastic season OKC. This is only the beginning.
Thunder up.

So my friends and I are playing the game with mods and we are experiencing crazy lag but our pong is still low, never going above 100.
Does anyone know what's going on, or how to improve it?

Total budget (in local currency) and country of purchase. Please do not use USD unless purchasing in the US:
Up to 5000 USD
Are you open to refurbs/used?
Yes
How would you prioritize form factor (ultrabook, 2-in-1, etc.), build quality, performance, and battery life?
2-in-1 MUST, no compromise.
How important is weight and thinness to you?
Not at all
Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A.
Big, I like 15 inches or larger
Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run.
Nope, but I don't mind maxing out my machine's specs.
If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want?
Nope
Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)?
Fingerprint reader would be nice, touch screen MUST. nice keyboard would be nice. I also MUST need a pen that comes with the laptop but fits in the laptop chassis. No lugging around a separate pen that I might forget, just stick in the laptop and forget it. Doesn't need to be a fancy pen or anything, just needs to work on the touchscreen. Good sound quality from the laptop would be nice too.
Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion.
I have a Lenovo Yoga C940 15.6" and I LOVE it. If I could swap out these internals with a moden system I absolutely would. This is the perfect laptop other than the aging processor. If you guys could find something similar-ish that would be awesome.

When Gloomhaven Came out we were overwhelmed but quickly learned we needed more of that in our lives. If became our weekly game (with extra fit in where/when we could) for almost a year (ended by covid). Eventually we were running six player games and having a blast. We're currently running Frosthaven and have run into the problem that another of our old crew wants to come play. That puts us at 5p. No biggy really, but a quick look online tells us that Frosthaven is built more around retirements and having more people means more retirements which may unbalance the game. Several questions follow.
In what way does it unbalance the game? Provided everyone does their quests and makes progress doesn't that mean they retire at their normal times? We may get more retirements total but other than speeding up the unlockable buildings how will in end the game faster? In what way would it actually unbalance the game?
Many people say in 5p increase the level of the mobs by 2, they don't actually explain what that means though. For instance are we taking our average level and adding two (ie. 5+5+2+7+1=20/5=4+2=difficulty 6) or is it adding two to the average (ie. 5+5+2+7+1+2=22/5=4.4 rounded up to difficulty 5). We attempted the former in a mission last night (2+2+2+1+1=8/5=1.6+2=difficulty 4) and we all lost a card on turn one from the damage done. This could have been much much worse if one person had gotten hit more times than another. If we had done it with the latter difficulty it would have been (2+2+2+1+1+2=10/5=2). What I'm finding is that "adding two to the final difficulty" is more punishing to low level character while "adding two to the average" is easier on lower level characters while still making a difference at higher levels. I'm not sure which way people actually expect to run it and wanted to know what others were doing along with what other options (if any) people have found that work.
5P (and 6P) Gloomhaven absolutely works and is a lot of fun and regardless of anything else 5P Frosthaven is a must for us to continue playing with our group of friends..

You make me absolutely sick to my stomach the way you lie about your family and the problems they might have…. this may be an unpopular opinion and you can delete this if you want, but I would like to figure out how we can exchange people like Lisa for sick dying children in this world. I am so tired of looking at her and listening to her and watching people fall for the sick game she plays, I have prayed and prayed and prayed on ways to have empathy for this woman, and I cannot find it. I am very angry, and I don’t know how I can even attempt to care about what happens to this CREATURE. I’m sorry but I can’t even find a way to wrap my head around the fact that this a human mother. And I will be very grateful for any positive comments that I can get to make me change my mind. Because I desperately want to

It's 1987. A old dingy couch sitting in an unfinished basement a noisy boiler cranking in the distance. Darkness, just the light from an old cathode ray television, This alien soundtrack that sounded like nothing we had ever heard before. It is blaring out a beat up 4 inch television speaker, no bass all treble. My brother and I actually progressively becoming more nervous knowing one false move and its over. Dying over and over again, pressing on just a bit further each time. Probing the unknown discovering yet more and more deep lower areas of a seemingly endless maze as we hunt for Ridley's hiding spot. We know he is down there somewhere, but our kid brains were struggling to internalize this cryptic level design into a cohesive understanding. Outside its the silent cold of winter frozen bleakness. We are Inside Just chiptunes bleeping away punctuated by the sound of a pingy jump followed by the trademark fuzz of the screw attack sound effect. All perfectly orchestrated looping endlessly into itself in circles, just like the cryptic world design.
Sure, some of the level design can be attributed to the limits of its platform, and its developers simply treading into as yet uncharted territories of game design. They were also confusing us ON PURPOSE. Wait. this looks familiar did we loop back? have we already been here? No Its different see the bush thing right there? We began to notice the smaller details. Subtle changes in the patterns. No, there was no mini map. The idea literally had not been invented yet. The game is not worse for this, the game is only better for this. The player is made to be confused, tricked, second guessing themselves, made to feel nervous. Frankly, it was horrifying down there, and we were lost.
I always roll my eyes when modern reviewers talk about this masterpieces flaws. For me its a holy grail, and I get it, modern reviewers will never be able to review classic Metroid with the proper context. Its impossible for them. They expect things. We had never seen anything like this before. For my Brother and I, we had Mario sure, but this was something else.. this was dark. It had atmosphere, and really cool permanent upgrades. The power ups were cool, and we had no idea how many existed. There was no walkthrough. We had no internet, not even a Nintendo Power map to go off way down there. Getting lost meant you had to start weak and build up energy tanks again. grind. In fact that was probably the first game I had to grind anything. I loved it.
In fact, I loved all the things people hate about it. Its still my favorite game of all time, and that's all. -NF

1. The TCG battle he promised us to hold later. He is a main character of TCG, and I expected to play a match with him since at the forest he said it wasn’t a good time, and that he will invite us to it later. Never happened…
   
2. A permanent (however tiny) buff to Cyno’s base atk. He received a freaking Ba Fragment, the other half of Hermanoubis’s power. One could expect for him to actually get stronger as result, similar to how the traveler got a base atk buff after absorbing the knowledge capsule with Alhaitham. Not that it could ever prove useful, I just think it would better fit the game, since a similar event occurred to the Traveler too. But alas, Never happened…
   
3. NAHIDA. This quest was VERY important from the aspect of unifying the desert and rainforest people. As the Archon of the region and someone who promised to tend to the desert and it’s people in order to bring prosperity, she should have at least appeared in the quest to formally welcome back the Temple of Silence into the Akademiya, and thank Sethos for offering the biggest source of knowledge about King Deshret to Sumeru. NEVER HAPPENED…
   

What do you think about these?

First of all, this post took way longer than expected. No post button whilst using old reddit :P
Anyway, as it says on the tin, I'm looking to upgrade my PC, treat myself a bit for my upcoming birthday! Whilst a GPU would be a natural choice, it comes attached with having to upgrade the rest of the PC basically, along with the high cost, since I'm aiming high. So, I imagine it would be better to wait for the next gen that's coming late this year.
This is my current build. What would you change? What could do with some upgrading? I had made a post discussing some parts I was looking at, but now I just feel unsure. Hearing that the newest gen of Intel is now the one running hot, contrary to old, popular beliefs? At the same time, not a fan of getting 'stuck' with my motherboard if I go Intel, just like with my AM4 one right now. On the other hand, games generally optimise for Intel.
So yeah, just a tad unsure of how to move forward, what to go for! Any help and talking about it is sincerely appreciated!

Hi I’m Jake and I’m a 5,2 average build, 21 year old nerd from a small town in Queensland Australia
I am a complete homebody so I’ll probably be available most of the time and I have PC
Also a little bit of a furry. Just letting you know. Also also I do have ADHD but bot heavily, or atleast I think 😅. I definitely tend to have hyper fixations.
Also also I am an aspiring writeanimatoYouTuber. Emphasis on “Aspiring” because I have a tendency to over analyse a subject to death and the fact that if I do anything then it’s gotta be good!
My interests include but are not limited too
-Gaming (I love the classics like COD/Halo/Bioshock/dark souls/ all that stuff. And I’m a Xbox guy mostly but I’ll play anything as long as it’s fun!)
-Movies and shows ( marvel/DC/Transforms/pacific rim/a lot of war movies/star wars/star trek/How To Train Your Dragon/Fight Club/Heat/Doctor who/dragon ball/Naruto/Bo Jack Horseman/gravity falls)
-Animation both 2D and 3D
-Philosophy and psychology (I love learning about social economics and geopolitics)
-Military stuff (I’m from a military family on my dads side
-Vehicles (both land, air and sea)
-sports (Group B Rally for ever!)
-Writing (I’ve got a few stories)
-music (my favourites are Hanz Zimmer and John Williams) (also I have a tendency to think up entire stories when I listen to music and daydream) (I mostly prefer soundtracks and instrumentals)
food (I love cooking healthy!, specifically anything to do with spaghetti Bolognese!)
And much much more!
What am I looking for? Well I’m I’m looking for some honest and genuine long term friends (preferably around the same age as me) to hang out with and play games like halo/COD/ whatever. I want friends who I can rely on and be relied on and can confidently confide in. I also am fine with calling and chatting on discord and stuff.
(Please don’t respond if you’re just gonna ghost me. You’ll be waiting your time and mine.)
So if you wanna game and chill with a big ol nerd and play some video games (preferably FPS) then hit me up and a summary of you like age/sex and who you are as a person would would be very much appreciated!

I've found myself in an unfortunate position where I am a long-time gamer who now has carpal tunnel. Because of this, I'm searching for more games that are going to be easier for me to play. I'm hoping the community here might be able to recommend a game that will be playable and also scratch an itch for a certain type of shooter.
I was watching my buddy play The Division 2 recently. I was thinking of how awesome it would be to play a game like it but where there is some form of automatic combat. Essentially, let the RPG 'dice roll' determine how the outcome of the battle goes. Then, my role as the player would be to manage my character's guns, gear, loadout, and perks. Like any RPG there would be a proper leveling system.
The game I'm looking for would have the following criteria:

• Third person shooter (ideally)
  
• RPG mechanics such as a leveling system, gear and loot with statuses/buffs
  
• Some element of an automated combat system, where I either watch the battle unfold, or where I have very little clicking to do to make the combat happen
  

In other words, something like The Division 2 but with little or no clicking for me to do during combat. Does this game exist?

I've never been good at school, and since elementary school my teachers have been having a hard time trying to teach me stuff and getting me to remember it. I'm terrible at basically every subject, especially math. I remember there was so many times my teachers had to talk to my parents about me not being able to add or subtract as fast as the other kids, and from 1st-5th grade i basically spent all of my time after school sitting at the table with my parents yelling at me trying to get me to understand my homework but for some reason i was just too dumb to understand simple math.
With stuff like reading and writing, I was pretty average up until sixth grade, now I have to reread things a couple of times to fully process it because it feels like I'm just looking at the words and writing things like essays is very difficult for me because I will get bored or find it too hard and get distracted.
I graduated high school a year late because I failed every single class sophomore year, passed 2/6 classes junior year, and I spent my senior trying to make up the classes I failed but couldn't complete them all on time because I found the work really difficult. Before the start of my senior year, I was sent to an alternative school that was supposed to make things easier for me but I never made any progress, so I got put in independent study as a second time senior. In independent study, you don't actually have a teacher so you have to teach yourself, I got very lazy and bored of having to do my classes so I ended up just cheating which is the only reason I didn't become a third year senior.
I've also never had any interests or hobbies. As a kid I would just play with my dolls when I had time during school breaks or the weekend, but I was never in any clubs. I have no hobbies because honestly I don't like anything, and I never really have. I secretly don't want to do anything with my life and would rather spend it rotting away in bed and on my phone, but I know that's just because I'm incredibly lazy and unmotivated.
I've had tutors, I've been put in support classes, and I've made no progress. I have no idea what I want to do with my life, or what career I could tolerate having. Most of my friends are in college and even if they've changed their majors they at least have had some idea from the start what they want to do, or they're not as dumb as me. Also, this isn't an insecurity thing where I just think I'm dumb, I literally am. Most people think I'm so dumb that I lack common sense and can't do things that anyone with a brain could do, like being able to order my own food or driving a car.
I don't think it would be a good idea to take a gap year because I'm already turning 19, and don't want to be a 20 year old freshman. I'm also incredibly embarrassed about this because my friends don't really understand how I could possibly not like anything or have literally no idea what I want to do with my life and everyone just thinks I'm lazy (which I am but I really don't want to be). I have no idea what to do because I don't want to waste my parent's money and end up dropping out because I'll be too stupid for the work, but they're making me go. My parents are acting as if this is an easy decision to make and keep saying I'm the only girl in the world who doesn't know what she wants to do.
tl;dr
never been good at school, never had any hobbies, i don't like anything, and i'm very dumb. i need to go to college, but i'm not sure what i should go for and i'm afraid of dropping out and wasting my parent's money.
