i really wish they would make another system shock
i remember SS1 being this really lengthy cat and mouse sort of game, where shodan would do A, and i would stop A, then shodan would try B, and i would stop b, and so on
SS2 just blew my fucking mind at you-know-what-part
I would settle for a remake
like, I don't get how hard it could possibly be: the actual gameplay, in terms of the shit you do, is pretty modern. it's just shitty graphics and controls. but it's got crouching and going prone and throwable objects and so forth. it's fully voiced. just remake the levels in Unreal, add controller support and sell on xbox live for fifteen bucks or whatever and it would be a winner.
Fuck it, put it in the damn Crytech engine for my PC. Make the damn zombie monkeys hyper realistic.
I may never sleep again but it would be so worth it.
I've come to the realization today that my constant level of physical pain has created a horrendous combo platter with a pretty major depressive episode I've been in since late February. Contrary to the position I generally held, this level of physical pain (due to rheumatoid arthritis mostly but also a lifetime of bad personal decisions as well as nerve damage from having the Shingles and a stroke) does not become "white noise" that my brain naturally filters out.
Man I had shingles thanks to a suppressed immune system. It was hell. Constant unmitigated pain for weeks on end, livened only by brief spikes of even worse agony. I used to laugh when I heard those ads on the PA in the supermarket about shingles vaccinations if you're over 60. Now, as soon as I'm eligible for them I'm going to fucking get one. Two if I have to. I never want shingles again.
I have a lot of sympathy for you. I got myself addicted to opioid painkillers for a few months because of it and that kicking that habit was, shall we say, fun.
Having been in your shoes for a brief period I hope you pull through it fine. Chronic daily pain is something you eventually think you're just used to but it does impact your life in a profound way, it's just that most people are too nice and/or afraid to say anything about it. Me, I didn't find out what an asshole I was until after the fact. You're in a better place already and you have my support.
The sad thing is that shingles pain is neuropathic in nature, and opioids are less effective on neuropathic pain than they are on pain from muscular problems or injuries.
So doctors (usually ER doctors or GPs) prescribe opioids at typical doses (say, 5mg of vicodin twice per day), but they don't work as well as expected which leads people to take more...
:P
Well the thing is, percocet didn't do much of anything for the actual pain. It just made me high enough to not fucking care.
I had the initial prescription from wisdom tooth removal (that was rather complicated) and when my doctor refused the first time to give me more because of the shingles pain I lied to him in order to get more.
It wasn't actually that sketch in reality, but as long as I keep telling myself it played out that way I know I'll never pull that shit again. I have real, intermittent pains from a tangentially-related condition on a daily basis but it's low-grade and ibuprofen is usually enough. I still keep a couple percocet around for when it isn't but I only need one maybe every couple weeks.
But for a while, it was 2-3 a day or I couldn't even function.

I really liked the power progression in the System Shock games. It was a really satisfying curve. They basically start out as survival horror, where you are a tremendous pussy and even basic enemies are better off avoided. And then you trade in your lead pipe for a gun with three bullets, and things start to look up a bit. You win a fight or two. And then you find an upgrade, and suddenly you hit a bit harder or have more HP or something. And then a little later you find an assault rifle. And so on and so forth, till, without quite realizing it, you make the transition from prey to predator.
