 This is Quebec's health minister.  And this guy? He's Saskatchewan's health minister. Seemingly nothing wrong with him except for his hair right? Welp, in 2009, he was the minister of tourism, parks, and sports. And through some dammicky shit he's now our health minister.

You notice how she's your ex?
There's your fucking answer.
We were young and I was dealing with depression.
Rule of thumb with people. If things ever hit the breaking point once, then they will again. If you can't keep a relationship stable going and surviving past the rough times, then the relationship will never work no matter how many times you try again on a rebound.

Besides. Products will show themselves for what they are. As a whole if it's deemed as shit then it won't do well. If it isn't, then it will. These things sort themselves out on their own No, they don't. I'm sick of this argument.
The average person is not a good judge for what is or isn't shit. You simply can't rely on them.
If the game was censored at gunpoint, worldwide, I'd probably be against it too. But that example couldn't be further from the truth.
edit:
I can't fucking type for shit today.
Well, I'm an average person. I know I wouldn't buy the game. You're an average person. You wouldn't buy the game. All this really ends up coming down to is a matter of opinion because on one hand you might have a group of "average" people who will buy the game, and another group who won't. Take it a step further and you realise that "average" has different standards in different parts of the world. In japan this game might sell like hotcakes because it appeals to the average population over there. Over here it might do better or worse because of the differences in people. Using the word "average" to describe people is such a shit way because there is no actual answer to really define what the fuck an average person is. Unless of course you can pull out an official handbook and cite to me the exact rules and definitions of what an average person counts as.

All of the worlds sin is contained within this face patting mini game.
Yes.
Well, if I were to use your logic here, technically the only people who should have any say or right to modify on the respective "vision" of their game or content are the creators themselves.
Which would therefore define censorship as an outsider alteration to the dev's true vision of the game. Which would merit a no from me, then. Even if the game is shit because of it.
Finding a balance between vision and business, to me, has artistic value in and of itself. It's admirable when your artistic vision can be enjoyed by a large number of people.
Any chucklefuck can express him or herself in whatever shitty way he or she pleases, with no regard for what other people think. That's fine. I do that all the time.
But anyone can do it, and there's nothing particularly impressive about it.
That still technically doesn't give anybody the right to censor something because of their personal opinion on whether or not something is shitty. Besides. Products will show themselves for what they are. As a whole if it's deemed as shit then it won't do well. If it isn't, then it will. These things sort themselves out on their own. Besides. The last thing we need in the world is more pretentious fuckwits who think they have power through having the ability to judge and control something.

I know a certain someone might joke that warzone would be better if it was removed from the game. But you know what it needs?
Fucking gear specific req packs. The req system in itself is basically almost identical to Mass Effect 3's weapon packs.
Bronze, Silver, and Gold packs, while Mass Effect 3 went up to Platinum. But it also did something else. There were certain packs released into the game that had higher chances of unlocking certain things, like weapons, or characters, or gear.
The same system could easily be implemented into Galo 5. You like vehicles? Put out a req pack with higher chances of unlocking vehicles. You like cosmetics? Put a req pack in with higher chances and more unlock slots available. You like weapons? Req pack.
But that means 343i would have to be competent
Somewhere in an alternate universe, there's a 343 that doesn't suck.

Remember when you paid $10 for three new unique maps? Those were the days.
I also remember paying $10 for maps that never showed up in matchmaking a week after release because no one else bought them.
Honestly I'd rather take that over what we have now. On release you play the map so much that after the first few days it becomes cancer to play on. At least with DLC maps, when they came up, they were actually a welcome godsend and cherished joyfully instead of what happens now. "Oh look, cancer."

The Halo 2 BR is technically the strongest BR in the game as it's four shot bursts instead of three.
Now I can literally enjoy melting on eye contact while half the population enjoys their luck based draw while I just sit here and furiously tug on my weiner over the number 12 I unlocked for an emblem from a gold pack.

Able to recognize that yes, I do indeed have particular spots of the day and things that make me happy. And trying to contend with things that would otherwise drag me down.
There's some medical stuff lately that's starting to get under my skin a bit.

Just walked around Riptide. It's Fathom, thematically, with an entirely different layout. It's basically a destroyed version of Fathom that washed up and filled with sand. It's asymmetric and smaller: they opened some hallways up, blocked others, added some terrain, and redid the middle.
Uhhh...I mean 343 lied, people died.
Not washed up. The oceans evaporated.
Oh so it's like their version of normal working Midship and then crashed abandoned Midship. Great. Their idea of a new map consists of opposites.

I didn't even know that stuff existed on GMod.

I'm gonna have to ask every single fucking person in this thread to drop the insults.
I don't care
That's okay because whatever I talk to him about will be done in private. Not out here. If people are going to cannibalize him and kick him when he's down then I'm not going to let that happen. Simple. Me and him can sit down and discuss things in private. You never talk over serious stuff like this in public anyway. So you can sit the fuck down and piss off. Do you care now? Because you're not going to get what you want from this.

Okay. I'll have to do this in chunks. But right now I can talk a little bit about what's up with your noggin and the way it's functioning.
For starters, this is depression. Plain as day. Now, keep in mind, depression is a natural aspect of the human emotional spectrum. But, when you go too low, it muddles you up a little bit and it warps your worldview.
Now, to break down what's happening to you. You don't connect to being loved. You just don't feel it. But you do want it. And you want somebody there, for you. This is hard. Multiple facets to discuss. But here we go.
Your depression is taking a golf club to your self esteem. Your life is in disarray and you dislike mostly all the facets of yourself. But you want somebody beyond your family to contradict that. You want somebody to pull you out of the mud.
But this is the thing. You're conning yourself. Sub-consciously. You don't even know it or likely see it.
Let this sink in here. We as people project signals to each other all the time. Through body language, through attitude, you name it. And, human brains pick up on it, sub-consciously, and actively depending on how astute the viewer is.
So, here is one of the issues. In order for people to become interested in one another, you need two things. A physical, and mental attraction. In well over 90% of all cases, a physical attractor is what starts key interaction between two people.
Now, your current state, of messy self loathing, and feeling unloved, is creating a signal that you give off to anybody who looks at you. Remember. They don't see it with their active mind. Their sub-conscious does. And do you know what that signal does to you?
It nulls your physical attractor. People will look at you, and pass you over, because you want to be passed over. But you have a brain and it knows something is wrong. Which is why you still want love. Your head is now in the middle of a fight with itself. One part of your active mind wants to be fixed.
And there's another part that's hidden, that doesn't want that. That's the part that you're sub consciously projecting at all times. So right now, you're actually caught in a feedback loop.
You want to be loved. But you're projecting a sense of disinterest and disconnection. You don't feel loved and so therefore you can't find that spark to give off that lure. Which will never attract anybody to you. EVER. You're conning yourself. But you're not, not really. This isn't your fault.
That's the first portion. I'll see what I can get later when I wake up. But think about that for a bit, and see if it rings any bells to you and makes some kind of sense.
This isn't wrong.
But it isn't right either.
All a doc will do is either therapy or throw pills at him. Both don't get to the core of it, unless he is chemically depressed.
Therapy barely works. Drugs are a band aid on a gunshot wound.
He feels he needs affection to validate his self worth. The worst thing he could do is get advice that doesn't apply and change himself for someone who won't accept him for who he is.
It's better by far to just worry about tomorrow, and let the rest of the week sort itself out
Wrong. Fuck off. Jumping to conclusions. I'm not gonna tell him to go to a therapist. I know his situation inside and out. And if he talks to me, we can break it apart. If I was going to tell him to go to a therapist I would tell him to stall off the pills as long as possible. Unless it's chemical inbalance. That's not in my range. But for now, there needs to be a lot of talking between me and him.

Before I go to sleep, I'm gonna have to ask every single fucking person in this thread to drop the insults please.
It's not helpful.
All of you. Blunt force doesn't work on something like this. Chill.
For me, please. Everybody. Give it a rest here.
Eli. I will get back to you. I promise. I'll take it in private too. I didn't see your message until I posted. But I need sleep.

Okay. Let's slow the train down here. For starters I don't know quite what we're talking about here. I need some context. I'm tired and my eyes are bleeding. I'm not gonna go through that many pages.
Can you give me a quick summary?
I'm no specialist, but hey. Let's give it a shot. Discussion always lands somewhere.
Ill do my best but im on mobile.
It's been a long time since I've been loved. I've been in varying degrees of romantic periods individually but I haven't had my love reciprocated in a very long time, and this just dawned on me.
I want someone to love, who also loves me, so that I have a reason to get up in the morning (see, a purpose). That purpose being, to provide for them. That obligation will force me to get my life together.
I also said I hate myself and want someone who loves me to tell me why they do.
Additionally, though i havent said it yet, i believe that the human experience is not genuine if you arent depressed. I believe depression is unfiltered reality, and that getting over it is fine and all but its fleeting. The Human condition is defined by suffering.
Well, fuck, there's your problem. Right there. RIGHT FUCKING THERE. I could give you a monumentally long post. I can cover almost every single aspect of what you just said and dismantle it. Completely. Guess Nuka's right. The doc you visited was shit. But, I'm not going to waste my time. Do you want me to write a post? I dunno if I can do it now, because my head's kinda..... messy. But after I wake up and maybe sort out some of my problems. I can break everything down for you piece by piece. Again, it might be messy and come insegments. But I hear you, okay.

Maybe because it's slightly relaxing occassionally. Maybe it's nice to talk to people so that you don't feel so fucking hoplessley alone in your respective issue.
People are social creatures. The internet is a safety barrier. You can say things that you couldn't bear to say to people close to you. And you yourself can get a freer sense of expression and figuring out where you're at.
Talking helps.

Short and sweet:
The psychologist didn't say "so tell me about your parents" like psychologists do, implying he wants to get information.
He said "ok, so this is all about your parents is it?"
He made a conclusion.
No you dope. What is eli's issue? Why is he going to see psych's in the first place?

Or maybe not. Maybe they were telling you the truth.
"Why did you want to come see a psychologist after all this time?"
"I really want to figure out what's wrong with me on a fundamental level so that I can do well in school, set up a bright future for myself and increase my level of communication and friendliness with my friends, peers and family. I don't want to waste my parents time or money."
"Oh, so this is all about your parents, is it?"
One thing however, is that with docs, you need to voice your point very clearly.
Well thats one of my problems yeah. I feel like im talking some basic shit but people dont understand what im saying. Its infuriating.
What you just posted up there is a really poor example. Dude, the first place you look is the parents. Then you look at the childhood.
Parents, whether they're there or not, give, fuck.... 90% of your traits to you.
Well im actually very different from my parents. Like, so much so that they used to joke that i was adopted.
But besides that, how do you get "its your parents fault" from what i said
Thats LITERALLY how it went down
See. Bingo. You're quick to judge and extremely quick on the defense. For starters, I never said it was your parent's fault. Nor insinuated it. But that is always the first place you look for clues in order to start deconstructing. Second. Just because you're different for your parents doesn't mean that you didn't get that from them. For example. Say somebody has an asshole father. They might grow up to be a picture image of their father. But sometimes, you get people who are driven to go the opposite path because of the example set. There's variables here. The key with docs is to talk. Over and over again. And try to break things down. I won't lie. The field is plauged with shitty docs. If you're an american then chances are you're gonna get a bad roll because your medical system is literally pants on head retarded that way. But don't discredit right away. It takes time.
