    Jeff

    I mean it makes sense, I can't remember what it was on but I know he's talked on the past about early game spot/giant bomb video days where he was putting on like a stage persona and got to the point where he wasn't sure who was the real Jeff, him or the persona or something like that.

    I mean I have tons of self-confidence issues and like there's no way I could do some of the shit giant bomb does. My brain would never let me be free enough to go truly dumb.

    Jeff

    I think it's hard to be truly self-confidence without having had issues with it in the past. Like, it's something you have to confront and deal with and work on, I think. Or at least it was in my experience. I am a very self-confident person these days but when I was younger? No way! And people will always tell me that I can't believe I have not always been confident. It's something I've had to focus on and work on.

    Both sides of my family tree are RAGING alcoholics

    My dad and step mom got drunk nearly every night, with my dad frequently passing out in his arm chair at 9 PM

    My grandma (birth mother's side) and uncle get drunk at every possible occasion, with only my other uncle who went through AA and got his shit together and has stayed sober abstaining from alcohol

    so basically I thought if I started drinking I would fall down a deep hole and basically be a horrible drunkard and abstained from alcohol until I was about 20ish

    but even then I don't really like drinking like a lot of my friends do and did when I was first starting out, largely because alcohol is fuckin gross so if I am gonna drink it I am gonna drink enough of it to get proper drunk. So if we're hanging out and watching Netflix or something I'll drink Orange Soda or Pepsi. If we're gonna be capital D drinking, I am gonna drink like 3 mixed drinks and do some shots.

    but I know that's a good thing to do often and have only done it, god, like maybe 2 times in the past 6 months?

    Basically, I was paranoid that I'd become an alcoholic and turned out to not really like drinking often at all and only get drunk when the stars align and the hellgate beneath my apartment springs

    Roll For Your Lives Episode 3.1 - Rope Play
    For this next mini-campaign, we go back to the familiar territory of Dungeons & Dragons as filtered through the Pathfinder system. Our "heroes" this time are a frogman gunslinger named Henson (played by Shane); a warrior princess who's built like a tank--and has the armor to match--named Hildegard (played by Luke); a summoner named Inara who loves to party, has a giant spider for a buddy, and harbors a shocking secret (played by Tyberius); and a monk named Mogukyo whose true joy in life is tying every living thing up with rope (played by John). In this session, they team up with the city guard of Magnimar to track down a serial killer who seems to be targeting priests of Sarenrae and stealing their hearts.

    thank you for sharing!

    it's interesting that your experiences are sort of the opposite of mine. Only one member of my family is an alcoholic (at least that I know of), and my parents have always had a healthy attitude towards drinking. They typically have one or two drinks in the evening and that's it, so I've always been pretty comfortable around alcohol

    then when I was in college, I went through some real bad times. A bad relationship ended with a bad breakup that exacerbated my untreated issues with depression and anxiety. I started drinking to deal with it

    I started drinking a lot

    we're talking "being at a shitty dive bar from 2 in the afternoon until close" and "sneak home for a shot of whiskey before dry social engagements" levels of drinking. I was dangerously, dangerously close to being a fully fledged alcoholic

    fortunately I was able to recognize that what I was doing was incredibly dangerous and unhealthy, so I started going to therapy. Therapy led me to a psychiatrist, who helped me properly medicate my mental health issues. I was able to cut back on my drinking, and walk away from the abyss. I don't have that compulsion to drink anymore

    but consequently, I hate getting drunk. I hate the way it makes me feel, and I hate that I can't trust myself. Past a certain point, I completely lose my ability to stop. I will quite happily tear through an entire bottle of liquor if nobody stops me, and I hate that

    so if I'm out at a bar or hanging out with friends, I am strictly a two-or-three beers kind of guy. Enough to loosen up and enjoy the moment, but not so much that things get dangerous

    also I like to have a beer or two with dinner, because I like the taste

  • turtleantturtleant Gunpla Dad is the best.Registered User regular
    Even though I drink kinda on the reg I've never gotten drunk. The amount of alcohol I have to drink to get drunk is way past the point where I no longer enjoy the drinks.

    The closest I ever got was when my brother talked me into doing a couple shots of this 80% alcohol shit he had, but that tasted like murderous chalk so I only did 2.

    The fact that, between weird work schedules and medication stuff, I'm the only person in the house that can deal with family/friend emergencies a lot of the time has also contributed to that.

    On this week's episode, the gang gets all Father Merrin as they attempt to exorcise the silly Exorcist wannabe, Stigmata! Well before her Boyhood nomination, Patricia Arquette starred in a film with music by Billy Corgan and wardrobe by Jellies! What's with all the freaking out here? Why is Gabriel Byrne's character such a jerk? And how close is too close before you're ripping off a cinematic classic? PLUS: Eric reveals the best kept secret of the popular computer game, Diablo!

    Stigmata stars Patricia Arquette, Gabriel Byrne, Jonathan Pryce, Nia Long, Enrico Colantoni and the great Rade Serbedzija; directed by Rupert Wainwright.

    It sounds like its one thing his upbringing drilled into him, which is great and super useful

    His ideas about how money should work in a relationship are

    Well he hasn't been in a really serious one so perhaps that will change

    Saw there was a new Danswers. Remembered I sent a question in. Had an anxiety attack about the possibility of my question even being read and discussed. Probably won't listen to the podcast for the next few episodes just to avoid hearing it.

    Yup.

    Justin was legitimately upset for most of it

    then they showed us some vore youtubes and nobody was happy ever!
