Good evening anonymous, I hope you're having a good week so far.
For those of you returning, welcome back to the Lunar threads! Let's pick things up where we left off last time.
As for any of you newcomers, here's a quick rundown:
We're a bunch of anons dedicated towards trying to help other anons become better versions of themselves. Towards this end, we meet here on Jow Forums periodically to discuss any particular issue, hang-ups, difficulty, or struggle life may throw at you. Sometimes it's something relatively trivial and all you might need is to 'get-it-off-your-chest'. Other times, it might take some more strategizing. In either case, regular check-ins are important to gauge progress; hence the periodic nature of these threads.
So, that being said, if you feel you can benefit from these kinds of threads or simply wish to serve as good company, join in on the conversation! You're always welcomed here.
Have you made progress in 1.8? I'd like to get some games in tonight, but I don't think that's going to be possible. That Seris skin is calling my name though.
I was just playing it, while waiting for the thread! I've taken to playing Kinessa and Strix more, since I thought I'll practice my aim a bit. To be honest, while I prefer Kinessa's design and character, it's just more fun to snipe as Strix.
I'm fairly good; Al unfairly challenged me to be better than an enemy Kinessa who was level 26. Surprisingly enough, I rekt them pretty hard.
And that Seris skin is awesome! I had a feeling you'd like it.I like the Strix skin; it'd get rid of the only problem I have with him, which is a design that's not to my taste. Yeah, I'll most likely go to bed by then..
Ah I just wanted to check in and say hi. I'm not that great at giving advice but I hope you all are doing well. I hope everything goes alright tonight!
Hello Ayano. Just got my little one to sleep. Poor little guy, he keeps saying daddy when I say mommy. He doesn't seem to understand what's happened to "daddy" or who's supposed to be "daddy" now. Sometimes he calls me daddy and other times he calls himself that.

Evening Mantis!
Back? Who are you and where did you go?
Evening Mama Bear.
Strix seems like a better sniper in every single way, so I don't blame you for choosing Strix. But if you're anything like me, you're having a hell of a time trying to let go of aesthetics for the choice of a more function. I totally get you.
Maybe this weekend I'll be able to witness your sniping skills?
Hey Jack, how's school treating you so far? Also, I really like that illustration of Sayaka. It's very clean.
That's interesting. How did you come across this opportunity? You absolutely must share your findings with me when you return.
NICE! I've read about those. Heard its very therapeutic. Enjoy

Good evening 2B

That sounds really interesting. Please let us know how it goes!
Ahh...I understand. That must be a little difficult to observe. It must be a faulty cognitive process being used as a coping mechanism. Pretty strong of you, being a single mother and everything.
Hah, yeah. Strix is just a little quicker, even though Kinessa has a better escape. Probably because I used to play snipers in COD back in the day, and I'm a little used to that kind of play style. (though Kinessa does have the hitbox of a truck)
Well, you know how much I enjoy impressing you, so I'm glad we'll get to at least spend some leisure time then. And this is going to sound arrogant, but you WILL be impressed.
...Unless the enemy team has some very effective flanks.
Ah thank you for having me! I thought the same thing. It's very nice. It's been going alright. I don't plan on continuing to the next semester because I want to get an apprenticeship to learn a trade and aslo I might be relocating soon too. How are things on your end? Ah hello. Thank you for the warm welcome!

I'm going to be perfectly honest, I was reminded about the idea from The Simpsons. I initially was going to book myself for a spa treatment, even. It turns out there's a sensory deprivation clinic that's not very far away from me.
Epsom salt, soundproof chambers, pitch blackness.. for 90 minutes.
Will do~
I've heard that too. I also heard hallucinations are not uncommon as well.
Thanks Ayano, I'm a lot stronger than I ever gave myself credit for. He turned 4 in recent months and it's a new change for him. He's also ASD/SPD so he sees life differently and expresses himself equally so. His father was an enormous part of his first 3 years. It's been a difficult transition for him. A few months ago he told me daddy missed his plane and was at the airport. When I've said "Mommy has to go to work" he'll say daddy is at work. Now I think he realizes it's just going to be the two of us and he's trying to figure out his family. I'm mommy and he's he so where is daddy? And it's like he doesn't understand but seems to want to say daddy everytime he hears mommy. His therapist said he might be viewing me and trying to figure out how I can be both mommy and daddy now. My heart breaks for him because there's not a whole lot I can do aside from love him as much as I can and allow him to be and feel whatever that is in the moment.

That makes complete sense though if you think about it.
Our minds, since birth, have been flooded with sensory input. Take that away and it'll go "wtf?" so it creates its own sensory.
Fascinating actually. I hope I'm on when you share. I'm eager to read your review.
Justin Carter
user, you should do it with some LSD or shrooms
Tyler Wood
You think 'Nessa has a better escape? I think it takes too long to complete, and sometimes it gets a little buggy. Strix can vanish and simply run away/reposition.
Ah? What kind of apprenticeship did you have in mind? Sorry that the EE thing didn't work out for you. But that's perfectly okay, so long as you're being honest with yourself.
As for myself...quite a few things are up in the air as of this moment; I haven't had to cope with this much instability in a while, but it's kind of exciting. New job, chance for relocation, among other things.
Speaking of disquietude...and it's remedy. They also heat the air and water in the tanks to body temperature as well, don't they? That way you cannot feel the interface between the air, water, and your body. Let me know if you find God in there, won't you?
I'll pass for now. But I'd be interested to see someone else try it and tell me what their experience is.
That's exactly right. It seems interesting to try once, even as a novelty. The only thing more frightening than finding God in there is finding myself in there, right? Hehe~
That's...rough. I'm glad he's seeing a therapist, that should help him. And I agree with their assessment; he's definitely going to start seeing you as a replacement as well. And loving him is basically the best thing you can do for him, as well as providing him therapy.
That's fair; it is super buggy. I just like the distance it provides. Strix vanishes but the second they get a hit on you, which they tend to get you're pretty screwed. I do like that his pistol is OP and it's VERY satisfying deleting a Koga when they get the jump up on you.
Before any kind of advice can be offered, I'm going to have to be skeptical of your motives. Why do you want a relationship so badly?
... Well, you are *pretty* terrifying, Yuki. You bring me pause.
Hold on, do you have the Unauthorized Use talent unlocked? Are all my matches with you going to have perma-reveal from now on? I might want to try adopting flank champ in that case.
Relationships have a huge communication component. If you can't talk with girls, you won't be able to maintain one. So, I suggest practice with speaking to others until you feel more comfortable doing so. I think the best way to overcome any fear is to face it and face it with frequency. Don't do it once and leave it alone for weeks, giving it a chance to control you again. And be easy with yourself. If you make mistakes or feel like you messed up talking with someone, don't beat yourself up over it. No one is perfect and communicating is a skill everyone has to learn. Some take to it a little more naturally than others. Once you've got that mastered to a comfortable level you may find that you're not so lonely after all.

You have to take small steps first. Try talking to some random people first. Don't be afraid, tell yourself that you have confidence and that your fears are irrational.
Not yet! But I'll make sure to use it with you when I get it. Also, if you're playing Seris and I'm playing Strix together, we both can be equally terrified of competent flanks!
I've never had one before and being alone for so long is really taking its toll... I'm 21 & all I think about lately is having a girl to hold in my arms... makes it hard to do good in my studies.
Tyler Moore
Im fairly sure of my decision of not I was thinking of being an electrician but I'm not so sure. If I relocate new opportunities may arise so I'll remain open to possibly learning a different trade. Ah that sounds nice 2B! Some instability can be a good thing. I hope everthing works out for you!
Justin Ross
of not doing EE*

I can empathize with what you're feeling. Loneliness. Now I'm not exactly sure what kind of person you are, user; a romantic partner could be just the solution here. But I think it bears some warning in saying that the old adage, 'the grass isn't always greener on the other side' has some applicable truth. To temper those impulses of yours, you really have to establish a dialogue with yourself to find out whether you're willing to give up some of your freedoms. When you have a significant other, you're going to have to take their thoughts, feelings, and will into consideration. You're going to have to cooperate with them when it comes to making decisions and planning. If you're anything like me, this might prove to be slightly difficult and not worth the perceived comfort a romantic relationship might bring.
What Mama Bear and Nyan mentioned should really be taken into consideration. Perhaps try to deepen your current friendships or make new ones to manage your loneliness, rather than opting for a romance. If it doesn't work, if you still find yourself terribly isolated, then you could start trying for romance in earnest.
Thanks. And where does your doubt with being an electrician lie?
You aren't anons, you are attention whoring namefags. fuck off to /soc/
