When you start the game up, it doesn't ask you if you want to play online. It just logs you in automatically.
big, big point loss there—had it actually asked me, it would've solved my #1 biggest problem with the game

so my switch remaster came in finally
YOU CAN NOW PAUSE THE FUCKING GAME because nintendo consoles have a universal pause button
so already, this particular port is objectively superior to ANY version of the game

nah i do, just being facetious
in terms of how i connect with him, i think i mostly just connect with suffering people in general, or at least with people who are trying to be a voice for a group of other suffering people, and i don't necessarily have to be black or be born where he was to understand or empathize with him about life on that base level, where shit just kinda sucks and there's no hope in sight, but at least we can stick together and pull through it, as long we stop killing each other
it's kinda feel-good in a way, and the consciousness of his lyrics certainly beats the FUCK out of every single other rapper in the game right now, with the notable exception of danny brown—but even he, sometimes, would do well to tone it down on the glorification of drugs and shit, because the opioid crisis has really driven my tolerance for drug-happy music to a whole new low
even so, i don't necessarily need to connect with a rapper on a personal level to fuck with their music, they just need to be super talented and rap over a nice-ass beat (most of the time, bare minimum)—i consider being able to connect with an artist on an emotional level to be a bonus, not the main thing i look for
you might like DAMN. more because it's more about internal struggle as a human being rather than as a black person, which is what TPAB is all about—but it's also more "pop-accessible" with a mixed bag of songs
GKMC is pretty good too because it's like TPAB except he takes a more "cinematic" approach—it's a concept album where every song plays kinda like a scene from a movie, and they're all part of a grander overarching narrative which is pretty engaging

because he has bars like "Life ain't shit but a fat vagina" at one point, which really hits me where it hurts

I'm just saying a lot of employers are looking for more than a bachelors if you want something more than a transitional job
how would you know that, and why do you want more than a transitional job anyway

Ugh I’m barely making it to my bachelor’s degree
Bachelors are fucking worthless but the addition time and money going for a masters and beyond makes my head hurt
if a bachelor's is worthless, what's a high school diploma
Obligatory
which makes a degree not obligatory
Have fun with that bachelors in English then
and that is the only subject it is possible to get a bachelor's degree in, which is why bachelor's are "fucking worthless"

perhaps sometimes by doing things you don't really want to.
i had a really long response to this particular part typed out, but i decided to delete it, so i'll just summarize it in two points 1. philosophically, it is impossible to do things that you don't want to do on some level—i'm not trying to be pedantic, i actually think that's an important thing to note for a variety of reasons that are hopefully obvious so that i don't have to type them all out again 2. the advice given in this post is the same advice you'd give to someone who has always wanted to make money and to have a successful career, and went to college with "gainful employment" in mind as a goal—i am not one of these people; i went to college for one reason and one reason only: to learn. therefore, my kneejerk response to all of this is, "i don't care about any of this," because as far as money goes, i've only ever wanted to make enough money to live a reasonably comfortable yet quiet and modest existence, where i can just play games, watch movies, listen to music, and read/write books for the rest of my worthless life—that's all i ever want to do, i'm not materialistic and i'm not ambitious—i JUST want to live my life, that's it, i don't want luxury but i can't do that—somehow, that's too much to ask, because of one very stupid and very spineless life decision i made several years ago, as a result of my parents always threatening to kick me out if i didn't go through with it—and because i simply wasn't ready to get a job and live on my own fresh out of high school, i had no choice (in my mind at the time) but to go through with it basically, i was given some very poor parental guidance, poor enough to fuck my life into oblivion, yet i'm the one being punished for it—and i've been taking it up the ass for the past four years as a result peradventure that helps you understand why simply telling me to "put in the effort" doesn't exactly inspire me very much—because not only are you telling me something i already know, you're telling me something that i never should have had to do in the first place, so it just makes me angry oh, what's that? my life is only gonna get slightly better in the distant future if i make it substantially more difficult to bear for the foreseeable future? and it's not even guaranteed??? WOW, LET ME JUST GET RIGHT ON THAT THEN!!!! fuck

I don't know what Microsoft's updates are doing, but the OG Xbox 360 version is beyond fucked up now. The Blightown Mosquitoes are legit flying through the floor and walls and agroing from ranges i've never seen before.
i think i've seen something like this before when i was playing on ps3—maybe not so much going through floors and walls, but definitely the wide aggro ranges thought it was normal

No i would be tempted to hit a rewind or reset button if i had one, though, if i could retain my hindsight

Education is a waste, fuck that off and climb the retail ladder and earn more in the long run without the giant debts you have to pay back.
little bit late
How deep are you in?
And uh, do you actually want to do what you're doing? Basic retail isnt exactly exciting but money is better then loans, books and 2 minute noodles.
4 years, 8 semesters
and no, hence the thread
Youre way too deep dude. Consider homicide?
if you meant suicide, yeah that wouldn't be the worst option

That might be unfair, but it's reality. protesting reality has always been my thing besides, there's no reason i can't convert the things i do in my spare time, like writing all the reviews i write for random stuff, into something i could turn into a makeshift career soon—i'm still gathering material for my eventual dark souls review, and after that, i have a bigger project in mind that may or may not involve video, and i'm learning vegas pro for that and it's been going slow, but since basic video editing comes naturally to me anyway, so it won't be too long before i can get that off the ground if i weren't in college right now, though, i'd probably already be on youtube with 5,000 subscribers—and i'm just the kind of person who likes to whinge about what could've been others don't see a point, i view it as a form of release so yeah i know you mean well or whatever, i'm just explaining my perspective on this

tbh it's the little things that made me regret it
it hasn't aged too well imo, and i just hate how unlike 2 and 3, you can't select multiple souls and STILL stay in the menu. It kicks you out. Easily little quality of life things they could have added in that don't change the core gameplay that people loved
I'm very critical of 'remasters' when it comes to games, and this was just the laziest you could possibly be. I felt they didn't deserve my money, so in the future i'll be smarter about it.
oh, i'm very critical of them too—which is why the other reason i got it is because i have a friend who i've been begging to try the game for the LONGEST time, but when he got a switch, he fell in love with it to the point where he said he's never going to buy a game on another system again it's a shame about the item souls thing, though i wasn't aware it was better in future games (haven't played any of them yet) what i would do is just equip a bunch of them so i could bolt through them faster, but it was still a little tedious having to re-equip all my normal stuff again—and honestly i never used them much anyway menuing in the first game was kind of a pain in general, especially with the bottomless box being clunky and useless, but i've played enough gen 1 pokémon to develop a high tolerance for terrible game menus

and before you give me a million different examples of college-bound authors, journalists, and youtubers who are attending higher education while having a successful writing career on the side: yes, i'm aware that stronger people than me exist, thank you for rubbing it in my face
i work at my own pace, period

that's the dream, but i'm not in a position right now where that's the easiest thing in the world to just do
This won't happen on its own though. You've gotta take steps to get there and put in the effort to achieve something like this down the line. I'm surprised to see you haven't done any of that yet tbh.
because college—like any job—saps me of all my time, money, and energy to work on my true passions i literally would love nothing more than to work as hard as i can towards building some kind of self-generating revenue for myself, and becoming the artist that i've always wanted to be, even if my "art" is just being a youtube critic or some shit but I CAN'T FUCKING DO IT without a time machine, because i was too fucking stupid and afraid to stand up to my parents and say "fuck you i'm taking a year off of school to figure things out first before i put myself into crippling debt THANKS"

What are you interested in
writing, nothing else
journalism is out of the question, i don't want to work for anyone and i don't want deadlines
ideally i'd be a novelist writing for the sake of the art itself, not to get money—but i'd have a patreon or something, so if i were to actually manage to build some sort of following, people could support me that way if they're interested
that's the dream, but i'm not in a position right now where that's the easiest thing in the world to just do
What exactly is the difference between getting paid to write by an employer or selling a book, and having a patreon?
i get to work at my own pace

Aren't you willing to work for someone else to get a footing in the field?
No
