/late/ - Late Nights

My pshyche is breaking down. Unfortinetly I'm remanong totally lucid the whole time, able to understand what's happening but not to stop it.

>>4142
Me too anon.

>>3151 (OP) 

Yes I think I have experienced genuine love and I completely changed even though it was horrible for a long time due to my drug addiction. 

>>4138
I really like this viewpoint and I agree with most of it,

>>4142

Love exists, but does it ever work out?
Every time I fall in love, it ends in such a stupid fucking tragic way. I hate that I just can’t have something work out for once. Why can’t it last longer than a summer? Why did she have to move back home without even telling me

>>4239 (OP) 
Thanks, Anon! Sleep well, fren.

rest well dude

>>4219
>may have seen a fireball, *

>>4220
It would be cool if that's what it actually was. Unfortunately, I didn't get a very good look at it. I was standing out beneath an open sky, but there were trees off to my side where I saw it. At first I thought it might have been a firefly, but you'd think there would have been more if that were the case. In this place I've only ever seen fireflies one other time in all the years I've lived here, and I don't remember them glowing white. This was a few nights ago.

Last night I went out to look and see if I could see anything, but the stars weren't visible at all. It sucked, since I was hoping I might be able to see something.

>>4222
R/n is the peak of the Perseids this year, so you have a really good shot at seeing several if you're patient Anon. >>4150

Good luck!

>>4223
I just decided to go outside and got a clear view of one after being out there a pretty short time. I think there was another not long after, but I didn't have a very good view of it.

I'm glad I was lucky enough to get a good look at one. This must have been what I saw the other night too.

>>4224
Congratz! BTW, this 'peak' is more like a bell curve. The Perseids will go on for a few more days (though rn is the peak). Long story short, go out in a dark sky and you'll see more. Good luck, Anon.

In the dream I was outside this weird motel-rental store hybrid place. I saw that there was a big obelisk-like advertisement for Herzog Zwei that had been there since the game came out, and I was talking to someone about how neat it was that it was still up. I think it was my brother who I was with. I ended up coming across a praying mantis and being curious about it, having never seen one in real life that I can recall. I ended up getting attacked by it. For such a little thing it sliced me up pretty good. 

 Anyway, the establishment was stuck in the past in a way that appealed to me. I remember wood-paneled interiors.  You could rent rooms at the place, whether for the night or as long as you wanted, and there was a central building where you could rent movies (I think they were on VHS) and presumably games.  They also had snacks you could buy, and there were restaurant-style tables all around where I remember sitting. They must have served meals too. There was a lady who seemed like a waitress I interacted with. One thing I remember was how friendly everyone was. Later on the separate rooms turned into one big open area where everyone’s beds were all laid out like it was some kind of homeless shelter. There was a kind of sleepover atmosphere, where people could sit in their beds during the day and talk to each other. I remember some guy playing music on crappy speakers, which would be annoying, but people got on really well with each other for being perfect strangers. T

Earlier I dreamt that I was just about to leave a restaurant and was handing over a credit card (preloaded with a million dollars on it, so it was more like a debit card) I found to an employee working at a desk at the front of the building. The guy there reminded me that it was given to me by some member of the Rockefeller family. Apparently I'd written a harshly critical review of some stage musical he'd backed and let me use the card as a token of his lack of hard feelings after a discussion we had. I was informed that I was allowed to spend on the card if I wanted to, although the Rockefeller guy wouldn't be pleased if I used the whole thing up.

There was more to the dream before that, but I'm left only with very sketchy impressions involving a movie musical scene taking place on a city street and someone falling through floors at the restaurant.

It's a very odd thing for me to dream about being a influential theater critic when I have almost no interest in that sort of thing.

>>1669 (OP) 
No you can't

I had a dream about my terrible driving skills leading me to graze an older man with my car and almost kill him. He ended up taking me fishing, and we became friends. He had kind of a gruff, crusty personality, but had a lot of life experience and was a great guy deep down. I was uneasy about the whole thing due to feeling guilt about what I'd put him through.

>>1669 (OP) 
 I have a dream about Deltarune ch 6 

Toby newsletter said that it's going to be a short chapter

So my dream was 

Dark world Susie and Kris were in light world, we ( the soul) controlled Kris. Everything were covered in black smoke - imagine in game like a black to transparent gradient. The only available path was from up to bottom screen - like the path to the shelter, and all of the houses (and other props) of hometown were on the sides of the road. 

You can walk to this houses and props. In between them were random words in DT fonts, white color - I can't remember clearly any of these words. Kris can interact with them, but he doesn't give the player any text. Soul controlled Kris to read everyone of this, and Susie asked Kris - "Hey, are you seeing anything?" - concerned, as if Kris is looking at something that isn't there. 
In my dream Kris went all the way down to shelter and examined the last white text. Is said - Did you noticed that the houses sprite were at different levels of opacity?
And the soul rushed to check every house to look for clues 

And that's it

>>4101
that's 100% correct. It's been 3 weeks and I'm being consistent so far, even on the days I don't feel like getting up... let's see how long my old self can stay buried

>>4104
Thank you anon, indeed is hard... but not impossible

>>4104
Yeah, but sometimes all you need to do is find the right perspective.

>>4154
Proud of you anon

>>4096 (OP) 
you're still the same person. the trick is to feel differently about yourself. sometimes changing everything outside yourself can convince you you're not who you thought you were.

>>4176
Why do you kick them out? Whatever happened to the more the merrier? Have your encounters been negative anon?

>>4177
just dont like having them around, they are not courteous guests

I have had many absolutely fucked encounters with the supernatural, but like a skeptic in an episodic TV show I am quick to dismiss and forget them, then say to myself, 'ah, if only I could see it with my own eyes.'

feels weird tonight anons, be on your guard

any connection to the GATE program? I've heard they were testing kids who might be able to communicate with allyums or drive their spacecraft.

my last character was a socially inept savant who taught herself how to speak properly (1 CHA, 9 INT) crit energy weapons build. used the YCS/186, Holorifle, and the Q-35 Matter Modulator.

what's your favorite DLC? mine has to be Dead Money.

>>4098
Probably Honest Hearts or Dead Money. The enemies in Old World Blues and Lonesome Road get so tanky they can become obnoxious and drag down the overall experience for me a bit. I wish enemy health and your own, etc. didn't scale with your level, at least not as aggressively as it does. This gets annoying in the base game too, all super mutants becoming Masters, etc. but it's especially annoying with robo-scorpions and deathclaws in the Divide.

>>4105
chems exist for a reason, friend. nothing like downing jet, psycho, slasher, med-x, turbo, and some mentats before clearing out quarry junction.

energy weapons sort of trivialize the game honestly.

>>4107
>energy weapons sort of trivialize the game honestly. 
There are a lot of decent options for energy weapons. Even the upgraded laser rifle is shockingly powerful.  I think setting up your character around Super Slam or And Stay Back might be the most overpowered way to go though.

>What games are you playing lately?
cyperpunk 2077, its pretty good, netrunning is really strong

Sometimes I get bored and follow ambulances around small towns. (Safely, slowly, from a distance.) This weekend I ended up watching someone getting airlifted. A bit grim but I get to see things I don’t usually see every day

>>1970
That's actually a good idea... I could just get the subway and stop in a completely random town and talk to people

>>2388
Nice comfy sodium lit scene.

>>3208
I feel like it's rude to talk to people in the library. Though, I do wish I could have thought of something to say to the girl in the leopard print trench coat at the book store crouched down to look at the erotic literature section.

>Pic used to be what the rant page looked like back in the early-mid 00s. He's since toned it down, but he's kept the yellow text and Doom texture background to make it hard to read on purpose.
That type of sincere anger is a breath of fresh air these days. The way people get their drawers in a knot about being perceived as "cringe" or "edgy," even if it's only half serious or even completely exaggerated, is so gay. Everyone's so afraid of showing any personality or exhibiting any traits that could potentially fall outside of consensus-approved characteristics.

I've never been very big on most of the raging AVGN type of video humor (Tourettes Guy excepted), but written stuff like that pic does genuinely make me laugh. It reminds me a bit of Maddox. I actually used to be a big fan of The Best Page in the Universe, although I discovered him after his heyday (although thankfully still before Maddox totally jumped the shark).

Now that I just thought of him, I might as well post a bit of his material I thought was comedy gold back in the day:

Kookaburras are so funny to listen to.

>>4023
I've always thought it was odd how their laughing sound became so associated with jungles across the world that are nowhere near Australia. I guess sound effects guys back in the day just didn't give a crap.

>>4050
The jewish owned syndication shows of the 50's - 70's probably all had standard libraries of SFX & lafftrax they shared.

>>4051
I decided to look up the history before I made that post, and it apparently started in movies with some Tarzan flick in the late '30s. I imagine they just continued on from there.

Unless my memory's faulty, I first remember hearing it in a Sesame Street bit in the '90s.
>lafftrax
A while ago I watched a YouTube video about those. It was pretty interesting how they had dedicated machines for those. Exactly as you'd expect from their operation, Hanna-Barbera really cheaped out on theirs.

>>4052
Interesting research. Thanks Anon! Cheers.
