Dank Souls II Scholar of the First Sin

Ya. It's a handy thing to be able to lift your own body weight. I started out this year in piss poor health and worked over the last 10-11 months to get back in livable shape again. I surpassed being able to lift and carry my own weight a while back a few months ago. But still pushing it.

Couple days ago I picked something up and moved it. Figure it was pretty close to my current maximum limit for lifting things. A 280 pound generator. I weigh 220. So, not bad I guess.

I honestly couldn't say. I see your name every now and again but I mistake you for Nexus for some reason.

PS U Mad

As you can see, my profile picture is a clear example of darkhorse/10 artwork

Sad thing is that the art in the last few issues was actually pretty nice



Clearly it got a decent budget because the series was ending

Spoiler

I notice that AI has three different coloured "eyes."

We know blue shit for Forerunners was likely Builders.

Orange is military.

Suppose green would be Lifeworkers?

Colors don't represent the castes of Forerunners. They represent states of being/status for Forerunner devices.

IE, we associate green lights with functioning/activated electronics in our society, that doesn't mean green = electronics.

Not to mention the simple answer of the colors chosen are aesthetically pleasing. The blandness and grayness of Forerunner structures is not the status quo of their architecture. It's really only used for installations of a utilitarian nature [like military sites] because there's no reason to have them look appealing. Civilian structures used a larger variety of colors and aesthetic features than just grey/white metal. Most common of which is hardlight decorations.

(The Didact's home is a pretty good example; it was constructed out of bedrock with radioactive fossils interspersed throughout that glowed at night)

Maybe so. But the Forerunners seem pretty proud of their high level AI's. The one portrayed there is interesting if you start to look at it's design.

Look at the three colours on the eyes and take my colour theory into account. Notice how they're ringed and connected to each other. Forerunner society had three big powerhouse classes. The scientists, Lifeworkers, Military, Promethians, and Engineers, Builders.

So, if we take a look at that big interconnected ring, what does it encompass?

The symbol in the middle of the machines faceplate. And if I remember right, that's the symbol of the mantle, no?

See where I'm going here?

I don't, really. It's a little bit like quicksand. I try to shrug them off but they get worse instead.

fuck this thread is still happening?

you guys are truly the worst community on the internet

Can't be the worst community if we're so bad that you can't call us a community.

Checkmate, mein frande.

I think most people forgot the point of the thread here though Ender. You asked for the baseline physical difficulties. Not the social difficulties. Everybody here mostly seems to be talking about the social issues.

Which, again, has its ups and downs for both sides. I'll comment on my particular side since it's the only one I can accurately know.

As I guy, socially, I have a metric fuck ton of responsibilities to uphold for myself to even vaugely be considered by any woman I bump into as somebody worth being with.

I need to have a house. Or a property. A home base, basically. I need to have an income and to be able to support myself.

I need to be in prime fucking shape, not a lazy bone in me.

If I want to start a relationship with somebody, I have to take the initiative because they won't. If you come on too strong, a woman gets spooked and backs off. Play too weak, and you lose your chance. Even if I have a good personality, a woman will not so much as look at me or consider me if I do not project interest in them.

Which is an issue for me because my sex drive is basically gone at this point. I don't project attraction or show interest anymore. Neither do I feel it. So, no woman is going to look at me, study me, look at my flaws, and say "I wanna hang around with this guy even though he's got some off bits to him."

In order for a relationship to be considered, I basically have to have this entire fucking base set up, be it myself, or a home, or anything really. And I don't even want a kid. I realize that I'd make a poor father at the present time. Maybe at all times. I don't even want sex. I gotta do all this analytical shit, be absolutely on fucking point, and essentiallly, Mr. Fucking Perfect in all avenues, to even be considered.

It'd be nice if I could bump into a lady with a real damn good head on their shoulders who was a little bit of a social anomaly and not like the common crowd, so that maybe they'd look at me in a different light and not think only about their own physical needs and wants. But those are rare finds. Further lowering my chances of any success whatsoever.

Social pressures for ya.

There's a lot of reasons why I'm depressed. That's one of them. A societal mantle that I'll never be able to live up to even if I tried my best. Cause that's what I'm doing now and it's not good enough.

And what does a woman have to do? Look nice. Be friendly.

Hell. For simpler people she doesn't even have to have a good head or a personality. Just look pretty. Which, if I read through this thread, is another load of bullshit in itself for ladies to have to deal with. My point, both sides have shit to them.

Men. Say I had no job and stayed home all day, would an attractive woman want to marry me and provide for me? No, but women can get away with that.

You're skewed there. Wrong actually. I know cases of reversed roles. Obviously lazy guys who are well past healthy who have a woman who supports them.

And I know that I myself would never stand for a woman who couldn't handle herself and wasn't afraid to get dirt on her hands and join me in my day to day business.

I knew Harlow and Jay had gotten married

But I never heard of this cheating and breakup thing

It's new, apparently.

Hard to say. I can only comment from my side of the spectrum since I haven't walked in the other's shoes before. But ultimately, both have their ups and downs in specific areas. I wouldn't really say one has a leg up over the other.

Not gonna lie, all the ghosts I'm getting makes my penis hard. It's such an underrated and underplayed vehicle this time around. And I recently unlocked the sword variant which makes me happy. Literally one base capture into the game and I can start running around making the enemy team unhappy.

I just sell all my req packs except for ghosts and vehicles since there's no point to using power weapons whatsoever.
