    Ah right, that. Interesting name. Sounds like they're gonna make it Twilight Princess Skyrim Edition.

    I think he meant thematically, which means Coded would get roped into that as well. And maybe Days to a lesser extent.

    So whadya think? Did I describe it right? :'D

    Seriously though, this looks hella fun. Surprised Libre didn't make a thread about it yet (unless he named it something weird or typo'd).

    WHOA, sorry 'bout the delay there folks! Honest mistake, the time got away from me.



    Slowly, deliberately, you rise and make for the main hall. Confidence propels you forward—After many bitter failures, suddenly you've come into a winning streak. Some of you feel invincible... until you see who's turned up this morning.

    skull joke has been murdered. He was Joshua Abrams, undercover agent of the Treasury Department. The Crowninshield family has earned the Mafia's ire by helping to apprehend several of their higher-ups, and suspecting retaliation would come, he was sent to survey the ball and keep everyone safe; doubtless he did the best job anyone could ask for. He was the Town Cop, and could discern the alignment of a living player once per Night.

    Your heart skips a beat. A lingering voice in the back of your head told you this would happen, that it was inevitable, but you didn't want to believe it. Suddenly you all begin to feel a little lost. Is victory still possible? ...No, you can't think like that. Not now. Agent Abrams gave his life that even one of you might be spared; you must press on.

    With 8 players alive, it takes 4 to lynch and 2 to soft-lynch. Day ends Saturday, May 17th, 5:00 P.M. (GMT-5). Be aware that the Town is still on the verge of defeat; a mislynch will result in the Mafia's victory.

    Radiant Silvergun. Vagrant Story. Ogre Battle. Breath of Fire. Valkyria Chronicles. Lord of Vermilion. He's pretty much the most prominent RPG composer you've never heard of. Or maybe you have! His name could be right up there with Uematsu, and in fact they used to work together at Square. Sakimoto broke off in 2002 to form Basiscape, which has since become synonymous with the Vanillaware brand (Odin Sphere, GrimGrimoire, Dragon's Crown), but he continues to spread his orchestral brilliance to any game that calls for it—including later Square Enix projects.
    So whadya think? Any fans in the house? Anyone become a fan recently, or saw this thread and started looking up his work? Was he your favorite composer all this time and you never knew it?

    Anxiety

    That does sound kinda severe, actually. O_o Everything else is similar to my diagnosis which was minor. Before I started taking medicine... well, this is mad dorky, but I used to comfort myself with one of Inara's lines from Firefly: "This is just a moment in time. Step aside and let it happen." It reminded me that my suffering was transient, and these thoughts weren't so substantial that they would run my life. They're just chemicals firing off wrong in your brain, and if you give it time they'll usually settle down. That's not to say you shouldn't seek help if you feel a severe onset of anxiety, but when you have no one to turn to the best thing imo is just to focus with all your might on staying relaxed and walling off those worst-case scenarios. Don't let them have purchase in your head, 'cause that's how it snowballs into something worse.

    Well said. I let certain things on the site get to me and wiped all my follows, but in the end I couldn't bring myself to delete my account. It felt like turning my back on something I was passionate about. Speaking as someone who's spent a lot of his life searching for greener pastures, if something bothers you and you have the will and ability to affect it—and if you think you can't, you have no idea how much difference one person can make—then don't just abandon it. Don't ask for an ideal world, work for it.

    These worldviews, however harmful they may be, carry the consequences with them by nature. The cons are inseparable from the pros. If pro-ana disgusts someone, they have lost a potential follower; and seeing as they are controversial, they will be criticized. Whether that criticism itself comes from a good place or not is one thing, but if it bothers you, speak out against it. Unfollow the blogs that support it. Don't deny yourself your own voice, or the tools given to you; they're the best and only way to affect change.

    I won't claim to understand every disorder just because I had one minor one, but with my little cocktail of anxiety/depression I often thought I'd be an unstable freak all my life. I thought my issues were part of who I was, and knowing that I felt that I'd always be undesireable, the "how not to do it" example... which occasionally drove me to romanticize my problems, or appreciate art that did so. I think it's a matter of people seeking comfort in the only place left to them: If you can't be happy, at least your misery can be beautiful. Small comfort, of course, and ultimately harmful, but in the life of someone who feels so small and so cursed, it can be the only reason to make it to tomorrow.

    I read an article about the mindset of a poor/homeless person that seemed to follow a similar train of thought. When you get below a certain point, where you know your happiness, wealth, livelihood, or whatever can't be sustained, you simply stop thinking about the long-term because there's just no sense in it. For all you know, it will always be like this, and you have to take what comforts come your way. Which is why people in those situations make otherwise stupid decisions, like marrying some scumbag and having too many kids, blowing all their money on gambling and drinking, etc.

    Well good, glad they're continuing to get rid of the silly stuff (or at least give us more choices). Maybe I'll get an XB1 after all.

    Might seem a little... controversial, I guess? But all I can think is, I wonder how people come across the tools to do this. And why they'd bother.
