Mine always wants to be held down a bit to take the screen shot. fallen You have no way of knowing because you make your games too damn big ... I'm kidding, but scope scope scope :-p I thought it was weird that you, Cory Trese wouldn't know what a mesa was... thanks for clearing up that you meant which apparent mesa on which map.

Brelehem pass one map out of town... there is a mesa with no stairs... What is a mesa? Do you have a screenshot? Mesa (spanish) is a plateau (French) generally. Both are common use in English.

Friends: that'd be you guys as much as anyone besides my wife and kids atm. Music: yes, that helps at times. Unfortunately the link doesn't seem to work for me. Basic things like sunshine, warmth, rest, good food etc all affect my depression as well. Just got rest... Music and food sound good right now.

Definitely - right now that is TBgames, podcasts, animes, sci and tech news, attempting how to human here on the forum. Trying to learn the basics of programming and art, I'm barely better than a stick figure maker atm so things like perspective and shading are my current challenge, of course have to work on basic lines for those things to work right ... Unfortunately mood swings and years of autoimmune disease are not super conducive to learning - Adorable kittens help with the mood swings .

Well for now my energy has ebbed away from a night of insomnia. I'm not wanting removal of life - just discussing some of my feelings - there's only so much my tired body and sore legs can walk it out, though activity helps. My mind is not focused enough for games to distract - I did manage to make it through a couple short animes which were amusing. For whatever reason, certain animes are a more reliable treatment for me at this point in my life than English or Spanish language programming. Got a bit of sunshine to deal with the S-A-D portion, though will continue to need more. Can have my meds adjusted after I see my mental health professional next week.

wascalwywabbit we're here if you need us. As we're all nuts, this is the best group therapy session on the web. It doesn't cost, no need to leave home. A few minutes with us wackos and you'll feel a lot better when you realize how normal you are I second (fourth?) this. Mental health is no joke (no matter how many times people would like to believe otherwise) and there are available outlets for discussion. Instead of swinging around the bush, why not jump into mental health directly? What is it you want to discuss? I wasn't trying to swing/beat around the bush. I speak in generalities to avoid my own personal biases up front as much as possible. Then through the back of forth of conversation I get into more details because the other party helps me form my thoughts as a sounding board, and allows me to view things from their new (to me) perspective. Without that give and take I'm afraid I still haven't learned to be a good conversationalist - it took me most of my life even to develop that much communication skill. A lot of what I try to communicate has to come out through inferences unfortunately.

Not to interrupt your battle of silliness ... But during my depressive episodes I find animes helpful positive engagement. Specifically, romance, comedy, sports and slice of life. Any recommends?

I second En1gma's post. Let us know if you need an cyber-ear. Something about the first sentence of Wascalwy's post is a bit concerning. So many questions in the rest of that post... really interesting questions, but they stray into the land of religion and politics. Deeply held beliefs not easily influenced by discourse or debate. Death by chocolate. 1. Yeah I felt that come across a little while after posted. 2. That's why philosophy, ethics and civil discourse exist - to get around the inflammatory politics an unthinking positions of rote religion (which I distinguish from sincere faith). 3. Um not for me, I've honestly gone that direction for a bit, and you tend to get sick instead, I couldn't stomach enough alcohol or any poison without severe nausea of pain, including pain killers and of course awful foods. No, nothing ingested, not a good way to go, that experience really put me of poisons for pest control as well - it's cruel for sure. Maybe asleep or by guillotine something quick or unconscious...

First and foremost, I hope you're OK. If you ever need an ear to talk to, you know you'll find no shortage here. Death by Ratkin death squad or nothing at all. 1. Yes, for the most part, my emotional swings are generally less than impactful now that I've; been through enough before; have gotten help for long enough; learned better coping strategies; have a family of my own choosing rather than one that merely wanted money or pride from me becoming some great and recognized scientist, and neither were forthcoming... I do appreciate your asking, and that only because I'm at least that well ... There have certainly been times where I was not well enough for words such as those to have meaning, so anyone concerned for those who may suffer from depressive streaks be aware they may need a constant and always available friend. Many friends to fill all hours are more practical than one vigilant life guard, professional training can help too, but in some cases professionals are less wanted than "ordinary" folk. 2. If I didn't respect and appreciate you all then like many I'd suffer in silence so to speak. Tho as I said my suffering is light atm. I just thought since it came to mind and I respect discussing fascinating aspects of both games and life with you guys I'd use it as a springboard to conversation about mental health; what is death and what constitutes a good death. I discussed mental health a bit in the paragraph above so here I'll talk about my abbreviated thinking on death ... It's good to have fortitude to last as long as possible, so death by chance/fate is good imo. It is also good to have patience and loving enough to forgive your persecutors, so death by your enemies is also good in that case. It is good to exercise self determinism, so death by one's own hand can be good as well, as long as it's not because they are unable to exercise self determined life in this world. Finally, if friends are impartial, it is good to die in the company of friends and want their friend to be happy, it is good to die at the hands of friends - Sorry if this seems too Greek philosophy and morbid for modern times... 3. Unless you're holding out on us some great knowledge of the fountain of youth that can be eternally protected from entropy and disintegration, we're all gonna die, at least bodily. I used to think those who couldn't face death in this life while they live it were emotionally immature, but now I think as long as they learn how to have friends, grow as a person and contribute to society then, except for some partial aspects of "An unexamined life is not worth living.", It does not matter much if they face death while living or it comes on them unawares. They're motion is set for positive growth as a human in so much as they have benefited themselves, their progeny and all that is touched by them compounded and diffused throughout time.

En1gma there's a trick to the nordhall ambush. Stay un grouped. Move all your squishy as far left as possible without exiting the map and move your tank to the ambush trigger That trick works in lots of situations.

So... seeing as how my manic depressive moods are acting up a bit how about the yeas and nays of assisted suicide, and or mental health and gun control.
Maybe the zombified dearly want to be blown away with a shotgun to relieve their undying hunger for um... knowledge.
Edit: ways to die - (No worries, darkness is just shadow, absence of light, and mystery, absence of knowledge, not a thing itself...)
By enemies By friends By chance/fate By one's own self
Which is best, why? Is it too intensive an emotional response to look closely at?
OK, maybe does the mind continue after death? Does it exist in an embryonic state before consciousness of this world? Is it emergent from a non-temporal world of Ideas, a Logos or is it emergent from matter? Is the body receptive of a more original qualia and brain activation is just correlated to that or the other way around? Do we exist in the "many worlds" theory of quantum mechanics or merely the uncertain probabilistic appearances we can test of quantum aggregation? Is knowing the answers to such questions an important factor of how we live, or is it meaningless in the short time we have to live compared to cosmic time scale or any perceivable eternity?

Yep, you can watch it on PBS.org too iirc. No Netflix required.

Thanks wascalwywabbit . One thing I hate about the English language, to many words that sound the same but are spelled differently. Yeah like their, they're and there. There there, its ok, English is not anyone's first language... We're all still learning it - my native tongue is loneliness or manic depressive qualia ... or well, I know it's definitely not English.
