Same course it took the first time, only sped up by three years:
• Confront my "fiancee" about what the fuck his problem is, and make clear that if the relationship keeps going like this, there's no point in keeping it.
He won't care any more than he did the first time around. He was too pigheaded for that and he never believed I'd actually do it. But I would have given him an overt shot.
• A bit more mindful of the bc, perhaps.
• Take an ex-friend up on their romantic offer much more quickly. I wasn't ready to jump back in at the time, but in my head I would now have been single for years.
He'd probably have the same reaction to this that he had last time — evaporating from my life completely — but I figure I might as well while we're still talking and I'm not going to lose anything I haven't already lost.
• Consider transportational/long-distance options in regards to the same college as before, as I am magically aware of one single existing career option that I'm actually passionate about instead of just performing for sustenance. Don't drop out this time.
Also fight tooth and nail to take A/P like the requirements suggest is necessary. There is a fuck up either in their system or in the counselor's brain.
• Call my dad/accept one of his calls.
He has an impossibly hard time not being abusive at pure random, and I don't think there was ever any choice I could make that he wouldn't find fault with. Telling him all the above may make him proud but probably not. But he kills himself next year and he turns out to be the parent that loved me.
• Persuade him about/do not dawdle on what little he leaves you in the will he never signs.
• Put your inheritance in the stock market where it belongs, not in "good people" who "really need the help" so they aren't "legit starving bro" like you're starving. Two legs bad.
• Cry substantially and more than once. The best baby kitty you will ever meet is at the helpless mercy of someone you don't want to share a state with, much less "date" in order to care for her.
What do we do. She has no one else, so now she has no one. Do we have an obligation to pretend, in the hopes of taking the cat when we leave?
Anything in a menu that you have to do a lot, but still requires multiple inputs to achieve. Think resource management in No Man's Sky or Dark Souls. Crucial to the game, but breaks your flow over and over again.
Not being able to pause and rewind cutscenes. I’ve got ADHD and my attention wanders even if I’m interested in something. Let me rewind to see what I missed when my brain seeking dopamine told me to check my phone.
And being forced to walk slowly in a scene for reasons. It’s not fun; it’s frustrating.
If I wanted to fucking hold down a key while wiggling a mouse or tapping an arrow key, I wouldn’t need a game to do it. It isn’t fucking fun for me. Yeah, yeah, what about those graphics as you travel? Well, the first dozen times, that’s great. But it gets fucking old fast. Give me a fucking mount already, or do a quick cut scene, whatever; just don’t waste five+ minutes of my life watching fake things scroll by. If I wanted to watch scenery go by, I’d call a fucking taxi in the real world.
Having basic features like split screen, or even the settings themselves, locked behind progression walls.
This one is kinda specific to Bethesda games but fast traveling to a point only to have to load again because it put me right outside a door that is a load screen instead of putting me just inside that door so I only have to load once for the actual fast travel.
Not having an FOV slider.
Constant bullshit popping up on screen. Damage numbers, kill streak messages, onomatopoeias, etc. That shit is distracting as all fuck.
Games with special currencies you can pay for with real money but can also be earned by playing, but limit how much you can earn by playing.
