GilesHabibula: We've been giving this person good advice for a long time now, basically the same advice, over and over again.

If he refuses to take it, I'm not sure what else we can do.

I mean, if he wants to talk about it, I'm sure some of us would be willing to listen. But he never really tells a complete story, just fragments dropped here and there, so all we've got are vague bits and pieces that we can't assemble into anything meaningful in order to have a decent conversation.

So I'm at a loss here.
XeonicDevil, if you are absolutely refusing to talk to a professional in person, I think you need to type up your complete story into one long document, and then post a link to it so we can read it. But even doing that will probably just end up with us telling you that we can't help you by ourselves. Most of use are not lawyers or psychologists. But good luck with everything.

XeonicDevil: it just doesn't work out or play out the way everyone thinks.
lawyer has to take the case..
professional help.. needs to exist to be used.
and is not free.
Do something. "These systems are failing". They're not how they're supposed to be, that is far from ideal and a bit too much removed from widely usable, I agree. So, an alternative or an oblique way is still needed, because speaking about it to ultimately justify complete inaction won't do, even if reasons brought to motivate this conclusion are, alas, very close to facts. Do something.

you are 100% correct and i have tried everything.
i promise i have done everything i can to fix the mess.
those hospitals are using people like test subjects, it's horrific.

marcob: I've already seen this. It's quite weird that sometimes "we" intend life as competition to an absurd degree (not a faceless, spontaneous struggle to do something or to thrive-that could do- but something about placement and opposing one another). So much that things like this, a general and generic complaint followed by a challenge (a "fighting game power scaling"??) between "my misfortune and what I did" VS "you and your troubles and how you fared".
But, again, this is not. Someone's problem is a real problem, since it's that in context and you can't fully put yourself in their shoes (it's still nice to try)

"Gamer" is now less of a self-made statement about common hobbies and more of a marketing/trends category with some strain of deprecation euphemism (= nerd?). Many want to have a bold, clear-cut identity (back then we'd said "pop subculture") but no one wants to be (self-)stereotyped.
Right. And I've separated them even further mentally.
The G amer will complain about games they were never going to buy and are toxic individuals in the games they do play. The g amer just plays games and is there to watch Mario (or whoever) do funny jumps and such.

I'm trying to self-improve to be more like the latter, even if I will flick popcorn towards most GOG releases, but that's more razzmatazz, rather than outright galling. (That's mostly down to most releases on GOG having quality issues.)

There's so much noise and quite a bunch of actors that try to prosper spreading it. Gamepad- samurais will eventually learn to hone and cherish quiet, proficiency (..and fun!) and satori will be upon them :-D

I'm not really saying test subjects! It seems you've been disappointed and ended up polarised quite a lot.
That's more about like an evident need of genuine care in so much places but it's time, labor- and money-intensive (think for example, housing, truly well-made art, schooling, and of course improvement in social policies) so you can't take it for granted, sadly, especially when resources dwindle.

But "I've done" is not doing something: that''s the past, how about the present?
That's dejection and is worrying, even if I understand you don't have someone to trust (it happens and it's not that rare)

it's easy to speak.
what i can do for myself and others, i will do.
the rest is up to humanity.
because i cant make a 27000 patient backlog.. disappear.
i can't make a person admit their hurting people and playing victim either.
can only do what i have control over.

cant bring a marketer/developer/scumbag/thief come to justice if their hiding behind the very people tasked to defend us.

it's sad because everyone starts joining in on t and some know their in the wrong and others think their in the right.. because the image painted is to their advantage.


they push you off the far edge.. then point at you.. and say.. look how he is acting.

you find the mistakes, the flaw and the problems and they want to not fix it because... it's all according to plan.

T.T

and when your that perceptive... they burry you because you can cause them problems.. and all you wanted was a good game and a stable future.

I can't really fully dismiss these issues.

But why here?

And, above all, what do games have rationally to do with this?

And, afaik, speaking and analysing about something is useful most of the times... except for these types of situations, when the more you think/speak/post about it, the more you remember to yourself what's wrong
(but not necessarily in a way that can move forward a block or avoid a deadline: no way for you apparently and especially no will on the others' side).
Could be that you're bloating the whole thing by reflecting on it, so much that you can't enjoy what was meant to give you at least a pause.

i have been online for 25 years, active every day, because i had the time.
cyberpunk 2077, doom eternal and dark ages, league of legends, i can name many many games.

i spoke to these developers i love and care for.
and they turned me into a monster so they can get away with grabbing idea's and data.
and when they realized they may be liable they took precautions.
i have sat in voice to text chat on forums giving them the spoon to eat, the vision to see and the idea's to strive.
and to defend that fact they may be caught.. they destroyed my life, my image, my love and respect.

and you knw what... i keep forgiving them T.T like a idiot...

what did i get? fear.. fear so bad anxiety caused me to collapse and shatter my arm.

i dont want a sorry, i dont want a game, i want my arm back, i want my life returned.

and now i can never ever trust any code on my pc.. because everyone is in on it.
and all i ever did was inspire people... :(

i dont do anything evil, or illegal, i pay for games, i dont hack or cheat.

why... why...

did you know, all anti cheat systems have a backdoor.. and hackers break these.
and then the developer.. plays stupid.
