I've just bought a low powered laptop for web browsing and other low powered activities and realised that it can play AAA games from around 2010 to 2012 or more modern low graphic games like Overcooked 2 etc. but probably not enough oomph to run GTA V I'm guessing and to give you an idea of the what I'm working with power wise. So am looking to buy a few games to play from a variety of genres depending on the mood that I am in such as: car racing, FPS etc and just anything great from that time to kill a few hours. Hopefully can be done with $20-$30 given their age. Suggestions most welcome!

Super Monkey Ball Banana Blitz was the first Super Monkey Ball game I ever played, and it holds a special place in my heart. Many consider Banana Blitz HD to be the better version of the game, due to it axing the motion controls, but I believe that Banana Blitz HD is inferior to the original for a few reasons, which I will explain below:

The physics

The updated controls are generally touted as the main improvement made by Banana Blitz HD, however a lot of people don't realize that this came at a cost. The physics in Banana Blitz worked really well with the level designs, however in HD, there are numerous gameplay issues. The physics are generally much more bumpy and bouncy than they were in the original. The monkey will often bounce off the ground going over tiny cracks and bumps that were mostly absorbed in the original game. Platforms that move up and down, such as the segmented ring platforms in Jumble Jungle 8, which are extremely frustrating to navigate in HD due to the bouncier physics. The points where the rotating tiles meet in Cobalt Caverns 4 are another example of the bouncy physics messing up the gameplay, but there are many other instances of this happening.
In addition to the generally increased bounciness of HD, the physics also feel a lot less tight. It feels like you have a less precision in narrow sections than you did in the Wii version, and the controls feel kind of loose in general. Thankfully Banana Mania is a significant improvement over Banana Blitz HD in this regard. Another dumb change to the physics was the addition of a hard-coded speed cap. While it doesn't come up super often, it really shouldn't be there at all, and the original game got on just fine without it. This problem is also removed in Banana Mania. One last problem is that characters generally seem lighter than they were in the Wii version, getting knocked around by enemies, bumpers and bosses a lot more than they used to, but more on that later.

The visuals

The best way to test whether a HD remake of a Wii game does a good job at remastering it is to compare it against running the Wii game on Dolphin with the resolution upscaled. BBHD fails this test. A lot of the textures and colour palettes feel a lot more oversaturated and contrasted than they were in the Wii version, and in my opinion they are generally worse overall.
Additionally, some of the world designs look worse as well. Smooth Sherbet's skies are less varied in colour compared to the colourful auroras of the Wii version, and lacks the purplish hue it had in the original. Detritus Desert now lacks the dustiness that the original version had. Pirates Ocean is now bathed in a bright and warm yellow light, making the stage feel much more inviting, which flies in the face of what Pirates Ocean is supposed to be. Cobalt Caverns' colour palette is less varied, now being mostly blue instead of a mix of blue and purple, and the water is now dark and opaque, instead of the more aesthetically pleasing translucent appearance it has in the Wii version. Ultra Heaven's lighting is much worse, having less of a twilight feel to it and being more evenly lit instead of the varied lighting it had before, and the clouds also look worse now.
On the bright side, Sinking Swamp definitely looks better, no longer having that sickly green colour to it that it had in the original, and I also prefer Space Case without the purple hue that the Wii version had, but on the whole, I prefer the way the original looked. Another visual change I don't like is the coloured side of the balls being slightly more opaque. Finally, I generally prefer the original UI design of the Wii version, than the generic modern design.

The level design

Banana Mania was not the first remake to change the design of levels, but while Banana Mania generally tried to make excessively difficult levels easier, Banana Blitz HD tries to make levels harder. The problem is it did this in a stupid way. They made a blanket change to all levels that use parallel rails. Parallel rails were a recurring stage element in Banana Blitz, that you could ride along. They were pretty interesting and generally a fun mechanic. In HD, they are all replaced with generic balancing beams. Not only does this generally make the game less interesting and unique, but also while this certainly makes the affected levels more difficult, the other levels were mostly untouched, and this results in HD having noticeable difficulty spikes and drops within worlds. I think the worst offender for this is Cobalt Caverns 5, which is quite a bit more difficult than the other levels in that world. This maybe wouldn't be so bad were it not for the aforementioned different physics, which make balancing sections generally more difficult.
One other notable level that was made more difficult is Volcanic Pools 5, which is a really weird stage to single out to make more difficult, as it was actually already one of the most difficult stages in that world. To make it even more difficult, the width of the non-rotating tiles was almost halved. This results in this level being a very noticeable difficulty spike for no real reason.
Overall I think the original designs were not only more interesting, but made the game's difficulty more balanced overall.

The bosses

The bosses were the worst part of the original game, so it would be pretty difficult to make them any worse in this game, but they found a way. In this version of the game, bosses now do significantly more knockback to the player through attacks, missiles, and contact with the player in general. This makes the bosses more obnoxious to fight, making this already bad aspect of the game even worse. In addition to this, some bosses also got specific changes. You can no longer skip the boring and tedious whack-a-mole and cannon sections of the world 4 boss, as the energy barrier now appears on the outer edge instead of the inner edge. In addition, the missiles fired in this boss now move much faster and turn in much tighter arcs with generally more aggressive targeting. This makes them way harder to avoid and makes the last section of the boss more frustrating. The world 6 boss now spawns far more falling meteors, making the fight more RNG dependant. You also can no longer run between the legs of the world 8 boss with smaller characters, forcing you to have to go around him.
One other change to the bosses which doesn't affect gameplay is that the world 7 boss is now less expressive during the opening cutscene to that boss for some reason. Kinda lame imo.

The music

You knew this one was coming! Apparently due to licensing issues, most of the music from the original game was replaced in this game. Some of the new songs were original compositions, but most were recycled from older games, Super Monkey Ball Adventure style. The new compositions are ok. World 1 and 8 are decent and world 4 is pretty good, though I generally prefer the originals, and world 9 and 10's new music is not very good. The rest of the worlds, and most of the boss themes were given recycled music, with the sole exception being world 3, which thankfully got to keep its funky music. The original music in Banana Blitz was really good, some of the best in the entire series. Most of them, except again world 3, were remixes of the already great songs from Super Monkey Ball Touch & Roll, and they were given a ton of love by the composers for Banana Blitz, re-imagining them into amazing compositions that were super catchy and fit their respective worlds well.
The recycled songs aren't bad, per se, but they generally don't fit the worlds they were put in as well as the originals did, which is not surprising seeing as how those songs were specifically designed for their respective worlds. The biggest downgrade is Cobalt Caverns, which went from having an amazing theme and complete re-imagining of Studio One's theme to using a boring song from Monkey Boat.
But the biggest crime was the changing of the boss music. The originals all had a really unique feel to them, while their replacements were...subpar. Their process for selecting which songs to recycle seemed almost random for the bosses, like world 1's boss getting the credits theme as its music for some bizarre reason. The replacement music doesn't even come close to matching the energy and uniqueness of the boss music from the original game, with the exception of world 5's boss, the only one to receive an original composition which is actually pretty damn good.
The party game music is also recycled, and generally not as good in my opinion.

The lives exploit

With the changes to the design of some levels, you might expect Banana Blitz HD to be more difficult than its predecessor, but on that you would be dead wrong. Banana Blitz HD is actually much, much easier to beat without continues now than it was on the Wii, because of 2 unusual changes made to the game which allow for a ridiculous exploit that lets you attempt harder worlds like Sinking Swamp and Ultra Heaven with a huge stockpile of lives. In the original game, whenever you started a new world, you would be set to 3 lives, and would have those 3 lives, and any additional lives you could pick up within the world, to beat that world's 9 challenge stages without using a continue. However, in BBHD, this is no longer the case. Now, when entering a new world, you get to KEEP all of the lives you have already accumulated in that play session. This means if you start at world 1, and keep gaining lives overall during your playthrough, by the time you reach world 9, you will most likely have a pretty large stockpile of lives. Alternatively, you can keep replaying the early worlds over and over again, and build up as many lives as you want (the in-stage counter caps at 99, but the game actually lets you store over 1000 lives). Yes, that's right, if you want to, and have enough patience, you can enter world 10 Ultra Heaven with hundreds, or even thousands of lives, and completely obliterate it. As long as you don't restart a world or exit the game, you will keep your lives.
This gets even more ridiculous with the new ability to instantly re-play levels you have already beaten in a world without having to restart that world. This was most likely implemented to compensate for the removed practice mode (more on that later), but it allows you to pick one level, play it over and over and over again, and grind for more and more lives, as the bananas respawn every time you beat the level.
Now for the exploit: struggling with world 10? Do the following steps:

1. Restart world 10
2. Immediately exit the world
3. Go to Jumble Jungle
4. Pick stage 5
5. Repeatedly go down the narrow path with the 6 banana bunches, and then jump into the goal
6. This will net you 3 lives. Now simply hit "retry" on the level clear menu
7. Repeat until you have as many lives as you desire
8. Destroy Ultra Heaven!

Beating Ultra Heaven without continues in the Wii version, where you had to start the world with 3 lives, was a real accomplishment. In this game, it's a complete joke, thanks to this ridiculous exploit.

The missing content and lack of new content

Generally, when you remake a game, you want to add more features that weren't in the original game, to make the re-release worth getting. Banana Blitz HD does the OPPOSITE and removes several features from the original, while only really adding a time trial mode and a crappy mini game rush mode.
The first missing feature is a practice mode. The practice mode has been a staple in the Super Monkey Ball series since the first game on the Gamecube. It lets you pick any level you have unlocked, and play it over and over again with infinite lives to practice it to your heart's content. Banana Blitz was no exception to this, allowing you to practice levels on the level select screen by holding B, which would even let you practice bonus stages and bosses. You simply can't do this in Banana Blitz HD, for reasons I do not understand. This means you can only replay levels with lives enabled, and it also means there is no way to practice the bonus stages, as you only get 1 attempt at them after beating 4 levels upon restarting a world. Since some of the later bonus stages can be quite difficult to get a perfect on if you're not familiar with them, it really sucks that you can't practice them at all. Practice mode is such a basic feature of Super Monkey Ball that it is honestly kind of absurd that this game does not have one.
Another missing feature is the banana count. Banana Blitz introduced a banana count on the level select menu, telling you how many of the bananas in the level you have collected at least once throughout your playthroughs of it. Additionally, collecting all of the bananas, AND all of the hidden bananas in a level got you a complete message on the level select. This added a ton of replayability to Banana Blitz, and it is completely absent in Banana Blitz HD for some reason.
Replays are also missing. Another staple of the Super Monkey Ball series, the ability to save replays is completely absent from Banana Blitz HD, despite being present in the original. Not only that, but the instant replay has also been removed, which really sucks.
The total number of mini games has been reduced from 50 to 10, a massive reduction. I wasn't expecting all 50 to return, and frankly not all 50 of them should return, but now the game has fewer mini games than Super Monkey Ball 2. And they made some terrible decisions about which mini games to keep and which to remove.
Masao Shirosaki basically admitted that Banana Blitz was chosen to be remade as it was the most realistic for their limited budget and time, and this attitude definitely shows with regards to the content present in the final product. There is also version exclusive content, such as achievements that aren't present in the Nintendo Switch version, and the ability to play in different shaped balls being exclusive to the Steam version, and needless to say this is a really crappy practice that needs to die, especially since all the games share the same price tag.

The minigame selection and minigame changes

Since they were only going to put 10 mini games into Banana Blitz HD, you would think they would pick only the best mini games to bring back. Unfortunately they did not. A bunch of great games got cut, including Asteroid Crash, Disk Golf and Monkey Golf, Monkey Bowling, Monkey Race, Monkey Squash, Spaceship Landing, Treasure Submarine, and the best mini game from Banana Blitz: Monkey Wars. Meanwhile, they decided to keep several crappy mini games, like Hovercraft Race, Seesaw Ball, Slingshot and Whack-a-mole, as well as mediocre ones like Hurdle Race and Banana Blitz's rendition of Monkey Target.
In addition to this, several of the returning mini games are now noticeably worse than they were in the original. Dangerous Route's controls are now much worse, as you now no longer control the monkey directly, but control its acceleration in a frictionless environment, making precision movement extremely difficult. They also made it so that you have to be constantly collecting bananas to stand a chance at beating the levels. Hammer Throw and Hurdle Race are both victims of the game no longer supporting motion controls, as Hammer Throw is now controlled by twirling the control stick, which is a surefire way to wear down the notches on your controller if you use a notched controller like I do, and Hurdle Race is now an awkward button masher, which not only again damages your controller, but is also more awkward to play, as you have to mash buttons to move forward, and press a different button to jump, as opposed to there only being one button you use. In Monkey Snowboard, your monkey now takes FOREVER to get back up after falling down, and your hitbox in general seems to be a lot larger, making it harder to not hit obstacles or crash into other players. Though I do appreciate the fact that jumping off the ends of ramps now gives you a speed boost, as it is no longer better to just bypass the ramps entirely, which ruined the fun of the ramps in the original.
​
And that about covers it. There other minor nitpicks I could make about the game, but overall I think these are the important points about why I think it is a bad remake, and why I prefer the original game over it, despite the motion controls.

I have been playing this game for weeks, I'm actually at 179/180 emblems and didn't have this problem until the end. I left the chao races as the last emblem to get and then I noticed that the music in the chao race menu suddenly stopped working, I felt that it was weird but the game continued to play normally so I left it at that. Then I decided to save just in case so I quit the races and press start to save but the game crashed and screen turned black. I didn't save so I lost like 6 races but that's whatever. The problem now is that every time one of the songs in the game gets stuck I can't press start or the game crashed. I have played this for so many hours. I even made an all S chao and I didn't have this problem before, why is it happening just when I'm about to finish the game?

So I have Warhammer 1 and 2, and I mostly enjoy the units in Warhammer 2. I'm curious if I should buy WH3 while it's on sale. I'm asking because I don't think I'll have any interest in the races that come with WH3, so im curious if there's anything of value it would bring getting it if I still only play WH2 races like Empire and High Elves. I have personally never cared for Chaos or the Eastern inspired races in game.
Thanks again for any input.

It's about a movie in illegal racing where the first scene is they hijack a truck afull of cars (AUDI TT- RED) and I also remember a scene where there is a Mustang (or idk, it's a muscle car in older like Vin diesel car but in green color) speeding up in a high way and caught by a speeding camera and they find a place to chill out while resting at the hood of the mustang. Then I remember the main character is a detective that goes undercover to exploit the racing but in the end he chose to race and his car is 911 turbo in the end.

Any recommendations for games where you play thr cop in car chases.

Just as it states we are looking for some friends to just have some fun while playing. I feel like cod has become so focused on winning and trying as hard as you can. Me and my friends are looking to get back into having fun. Just doing fun stuff in a game for the sake of having fun. The win loss and k/d at the end of the day does not matter. There will be games where we try to win but other times we just want to goof off and have fun. If you have any ideas we are always open about something you want to try we are open to suggestions. We are open to any race, sex, gender, or orientation. We are pretty accepting of anyone but keep in mind if cursing bothers you we are not the group for you. Other then that we are pretty relaxed and just looking to bring back fun to cod again.

Long story short I thinking about sign up for this race call the Florida keys 100 miler and there is no aid stations no water stations . The race is held in May every year and it Hot and no shade . Starts at Key Largo and goes to the road stops .
Any way I need a crew of two or three people to drive the car with all the food I need and water and so on . My dad is going to help so that one person.
However I am going to ask my uncle to help he runs so he can pace me at night time . The thing is he probably do it but I don't want him to feel like he has to .
I am paying for his flight and hotel and all he has to do is buy his own food . I think that fair right ? It's a free vacation 🤷‍♂️
It is a lot to ask because it going to take 26+ hours maybe more I got 32 hours to complete it. That a long time to be awake no sleep for me my crew can sleep in the car I be awake until I finish.
Like I said I don't want people to feel like they have to help if they don't want to the issue is people will say yes even though they don't really want help .

I heard a song that made me remember this racing game that I used to play a lot when I was kid.I can't remember many things but surely had these cars with flashing colors,racetracks were completely made up as the cars(I'm not sure)and there wasn't tuning...and it had those lobby songs(giving you Gran Turismo vibes)and lastly if I'm not mistaken the graphics were realistic for that time.Im not sure about the release date of the game

Hello, I'm Audrey. I'm (MtF) who is looking a relationship. I'm 5'8, brown eyes and black hair, non-HRT yet. I feel a relationship needs time and effort put into it. I love playing video games mostly on my Switch ( Mario Kart, Mario party, Zelda!!!, Indie games) and Xbox (GTA, Rainbow six seige). I love gardening and yes the pandemic caused my indoor plant collection to grow greatly hehe. I have been called an old soul since I love records, vintage styles, very rockabilly loving girl add Old classic cars and im there. I started learning to dance with a friend and that was wonderful and id love to dance to records again. Love the outdoors and going hiking and to be honest just being out and about. Hope to hear from you soon ❤

So I came back to MK11 just to finish up some collectibles and complete my favorites just for fun, and it was fun for the most part....until I got to the final match of Kabal's Jinsei Essence augmentation platform, the endurance fight.
I know we've all said our piece on these CPU match modifiers but I'm freshly mad so one more time from the top: I can deal with a modifier or two every once in a while or even one or two per match, but when you make a match where you spend 20 minutes fighting 4 different opponents each with their own unique brand of BS, then the last one has the cherry picked most annoying one (a Chaos one of course) AND gets faster every time he hits you, AND becomes unlockable at seemingly random AND has firework that not only grant said bonuses but can also hurt you even when he isn't controlling the fight? Add on to that that you basically have to use valuable konsumables just to have a shot at winning at all, but every time I nearly beat him, even when I'm in the middle of a kombo, even when I have armor on, even literal SECONDS after using a 50% life Krystal and he hasn't hit me once? I still die to bonus giving stage hazards anyway. Either thator I basically am forced to block them and just cede control of the match back to the unblockable f*ckface who'll kill me in 2 seconds anyway and gets stronger as he does, add on to that that again the AI in this match isn't exactly stupid either and catches rolls and get up attacks like nothing and doesn't overextend even when he is "vulnerable", you've just created the most unfun experience in gaming history or one of them, genuinely there's a certain line crossed where saying I'm even playing a game is a stretch because it's more of a cutscene with worse graphics where plot armor chooses the other guy 🤷
Anyway just wanted to say it one more time before MK1 comes out, no more please, I'd rather just good AI that has the same rules as me with maybe a SMALL tweak to the match than this diarrhea Christmas lightshow, mess up your buttons, hold you still and never reward you for even doing the right thing waste of recources that some of these matches are. Inb4 "it's optional tho" you should still consider the experience for the people who will choose to use the option

I am living at home with my brother and my mom, my dad passed away two years ago. Both my dad and my brother showed narcisstic traits, and my brother has some kind of sensitivity disorder and is just an egocentric asshole.
Growing up really wasn't that nice. I wasn't beaten and was materially well supplied, but my dad was an asshole, and my brother is a massive one.
He sees me as some kind of gift that was made to him because he wanted a little brother. He is and was really strong and seven years older, and as long as I can remember, he used to do some kind of violent hugging against my will that for me just hurt and I never wanted it. Through that and other things, my personal space was constantly being invaded and my borders ignored. It was terrible for me, since I felt like some puppet he did with what he wanted. He often punished me when I broke stuff or didn't did what he said, he often asked me into his room or pushed me into his room and - ... well captured me there for hours sometimes doing that violent hugging shit or just forcing me to stay there. He also did this violent hugging breaching into my room, not going out, and just pressuring himself on me.
He also hit me several times, did disgusting things that included him being naked, smearing feces on me, twisting my nipples, throwing insects on me knowing I have Insectophobia, gaslighting, lying, invading personal spaces, guilt tripping me, punishing me, imposing his views on me, checking all the boxes for toxic relationships, namecalling me, etc.
For as long as I can think I had an aversion against him. I never showed that for long time since I wasn't strong enough, and he said he would punish me several times when I was about to call my parents to get out of situations were I freaked out because it was so uncomfortable and bad. And when I showed emotions, cries, screamed, etc., he did all the book toxic masculinity stuff, calling me girlish, a pussy and whatnot. I many times just tried to play by his rules as long as I could before it became to uncomfortable. Additionally, since my parents are a bit weird and shielded me from all the cool stuff my peers did, he was the only way to watch a movie or him playing games or stuff like that. Classic toxic receive-little-suffer-a-lot situation.
My hatred for him was always there. When I was like 6 and he and my dad went on vacation, I wished both would die in a car crash because living with them was hell for me. A 6 year old wouldn't wish for something like that for nothing, at least not me. I was a really peaceful and good child.
When I was 12, he joined the military, and short time after, my dad was diagnosed with cancer and died in early 2021. Not to mention the trauma from this, it's a different cup of tea. It's just important to know that this time was traumatizing as shit as well.
I then got severe depression, suffering immensely for the last two years with several really bad episodes including suicidal thoughts and self harm. Simultaniously, after my dad died, my brother kind of took control over my mom and now studies with minimal effort, does some household things and thinks he is the new 'family patriarch' now.
Well, and I have developed such a strong hatred over time, especially since ca. 2018, that I barely talk to him. Most times talking to him are when he complains about stuff while constantly using techniques of emotional abuse and just judging, controlling, giving fault, etc. Long story short, even he noticed that I don't like him, and from my side that's the result of growing hatered and is unchanged since at least 2018/2019.
I recently got into therapy, and my mother told my brother about that. And now he keeps gaslighting me saying that my current aversion only appeared after my dads death in 2021, that I used to be a happy child who loved him and loved playing with etc, that he did absolutely nothing that would ever justify my hate for him, that that's all just me being ill, and that he just wants me to try my best to be nice to him (what's macabre since he actually means I shall shut up when he plays patriarch again or even talks, follow his rules, dress and act like he wants etc).
It is wrong! I have had so many traumatizing experiences, I am full of vivid memories, I have diary entries etc, I just know I don't hate him for no reasons since two years.
But he just keeps imposing all of this onto me, and it feels so bad. I don't trust myself anymore, I hate myself for everything I am, I did and experienced. I subliminally don't trust my perception any more and I just really suffer emotionally and from stess because I have to live with him. I have zero self esteem, a broken identity and everything, and the only thing I always had for myself was my hatred on him.
But my mom snitched the therapy thing and now he invades my last fortress of privacy. My therapist is on vacation for 4 weeks and I just don't know what to do anymore. I feel like the last bits of me are dying, and because school is off due to the final exams, I also don't have this safe space anymore where I could escape him and talk to my friends. What can I do? I am so mentally fucked right now...

I’ve recently gotten a new puppy, I have always wanted one and an opportunity arrived when someone I knew was giving away a batch of German shepherd’s. I’m seventeen and I’m on my summer break I had been watching countless amounts of videos thinking that that it would make me prepared and I had worked up some money. But now that I have finally gotten the puppy I have felt miserable and I’ve also realized that I’m not prepared at all.
The first couple hours weren’t bad I enjoyed playing with her she had accidents but I cleaned them and wasn’t to stressed about it. And then the night came by, I barely slept, she whined about an hour every time after she woke up. The next day I was tired and i had already started to feel some puppy blues. And now that some time has passed and it feels like everything I do with her and for her is a chore which it’s kinda supposed to be but it feels like the only time that I can have fun with her or at all is when we play soccer or when she’s asleep.
Then there’s other problems which came with the dog. I’m seventeen and my parent said that if I wanted the dog I had to be financially responsible for it which as the days go by it seem more and more daunting. I want to buy stuff that I had been wanting for months or years beforehand but now it feels like I can’t or am not allowed to anymore because of her. I can’t really do anything I used to. I can’t go out to eat with my family like I used to, I can’t really play video games, I can’t take care of myself properly, and I can’t even focus on hanging out with my baby brother who was my favorite person in the world but now it’s like I have to keep my brother and dog distanced because she’s too rough with my brother and he’s too rough with her at times and so now it feels like I’m separating myself from him.
I also had plans that I was really looking forward too and now it feels like I can’t do them. I wanted to take a vacation with my family, I wanted to buy a car and learn how to drive I wanted to get a job that would let me achieve all of this without working for my dad. And now all I’m left with is regret and anxiety. I just needed to get this off my chest but I’m really struggling on what I should do and I feel like I can’t tell my parents or anyone that know about the dog because I feel like if I tell them I want to re home her they’ll be dissapointed in me and think worse of me but I’m still a kid who wants to live out the last year of his childhood and not spend what feels like 24 hours on taking care of someone that makes me stressed and overwhelmed. You guys might think I’m an asshole as much as I think I am but I’m just really scared of the decision I made.

Do you ever just completely lose the desire to try to go out and do things anymore? I'm pretty much housebound at this point, can't even get in my car to pick up groceries so having them delivered.
I wanted to work towards getting better, to have friends visit and to be able to go see my family, but now I just don't even feel like trying anymore. It feels so pointless, like it's not worth enduring the stress or how disheartening it all is to not even be having a good time. The last time I visited a friend was nearly a year ago, spent a couple of days and cried so many times just wanting to go home because I just wasn't having fun. I was, occasionally, but it just wasn't enough to outweigh how miserable I felt. It didn't feel worth it. And now I don't know what to do, because what is the point in striving for that if that's how it's going to feel anyway? Am I really just not ever going to enjoy a social activity again? Sometimes it feels like I'm just going to have to learn to adapt and cope with life alone and I don't know how to deal with that.
In my case it's not the panic that's the problem. I can so easily sit through just pure heart racing head spinning panic, but in my case, my particular manifestation of anxiety has come in the very cruel form of feeling like I'm going to vomit instantly. I get a strange feeling in my throat that feels like I'm going to gag. I can't suppress that easily, so I'm just at a loss at this point as to what the path to recovery even is or if I even feel like pursuing it anymore. When I still feel just as shitty and empty and miserable, what's the point?

So I'm starting a new game with a new character at level 3. I've decided to go for an artillerist artificer. I plan on styling them as an botanist, because carrot cannons sound like a blast! Im mainly looking for ways to optimize the build while also staying on theme. As far as creation rules it's standard array and I get a free feat. I've never played an artificer before any and all suggestions will be appreciated. The only race I can't use is loxodon for lore reasons.
PS sorry for any weird formatting or grammar things I'm on mobile right now and very excited!

Step 1, get Acid lab and upgrade it. Need to do stupid dax missions for upgrade. Step 2, use it as much as possible to get max payments per hour. 300k ish for a full load. Can call mut on phone to resupply when not indoors, no need to go anywhere, and can call in acid lab from interaction menu to anywhere. You can get an idea of how much you have to sell if you pay attention to your stock when you leave your bars and how much it costs to resupply.
Step 3, have 3-5 cars you care about,, super, bike/tuner, one armored. Sell rest of cars if u make money from it. You will be able to buy 50 of each eventually.
Get nightclub and biker businesses, link them. Not forgery office or green house. Then Forget the biker bizs, stock is separate from nightclub stock. Sell acid lab and night club regularly and spend money on 3 things if you have no properties that have them to get. Bullets, armour, and snacks (Health) .
You'll be a millionaire in a month or less.
Source: me, bad at the game and brain damaged. I make 50k on accident regular at this point.
I haven't even finished cayo once yet have had sub forever.
Save a lot, grind money a lot, look up what to invest in (first) that suits how you play. And have fun. 🤝👍
