(A lot of others that have been mentioned above would also make the list I tried to pick some that weren't already mentioned that I really liked).

I wont bother naming foreign films because I'd be here all day :( lol Classic Russian and Japanese movies are my favorite.

A few tips from an old man who has had a lot of friends suffer with anxiety/depression - and the occasional bout of the same himself

1. Make your own rules. A lot of folks I've encountered who suffered from depression had some success with thinking in this way. Maybe it will work for you. As young folks, we're faced with a huge amount of decisions to make and a lot of pressures to do certain things. You do you. If you're happy doing x rather than y, then so be it. If that means you take a job at village pantry and play video games all night instead of going to college then so be it there's nothing wrong with that.

2. If you're with a therapist or psychiatrist and it just isn't working for you (give it some time obviously) then switch doctors. A lot of people end up in really messed up situations because they worry it's some kind of an insult to ghost a physician, but again, you have to do what is best for you. In time maybe you'll find somebody who can help - that's literally the worst case scenario (which is a pretty good one, it just may require jumping through a lot of doctors). I had a friend in college who has been through 16 different therapists before she finally found the one that worked (anxiety). If money is an issue there are PLENTY of psychiatrists who will do work pro-bono or at greatly reduced cost, or at least with greatly deferred billing. Sometimes they'll even recommend other therapists/physicians/psychiatrists who do the same.

3. Change your environment - if that means going for a hike or wandering the streets - try to change your scenery every now and again. I'm aware that that's often difficult to do, but it can be a pleasant diversion. Even staying over at a buddy's house for a few days would probably be fun. Staying sedentary and stewing in how awful you feel isn't going to help.

They did - for the most part the US Constitution imagines that almost any white man (again we're talking constitution as it was at the time it was written) would also be a self-supplied soldier whenever the need arose. That is true for a lot of our history (at least through the US Civil War ending in 1865) where a large proportion of soldiers had all or at least some of their own equipment - and it's still a tradition in the Marines where each soldier must individually buy every piece of their uniform - and even in other services soldiers are expected to buy or at least *can* buy various pieces of equipment for use on their own. Though those typically don't apply to firearms (as those are government issue).

As a result it is also legal (but not easy) to buy large calibur AT guns, and even tanks themselves. Though one major limitation is that civilian air craft aren't allowed to break the sound barrier so you can buy a mig-15 but it's illegal to take it super-sonic without special permission nor can one equip it with missiles.

The ESEA oriented side of the community is very insular so it's not at all surprising that one person wouldn't be aware of UGC admins or Etf2l. I'm certainly not (and I was one of them once). I really only remember 3 admins from my time there, and I can name possibly one etf2l admin because he is a meme. Naming ESEA admins is easier because we've only really ever had 3 - excepting the first 8 seasons or so lol.

I can concur it is fairly difficult to obtain an automatic weapon it's both extremely time consuming and very expensive. If one has the skills necessary to fabricate one illegally - the required equipment and skills aren't exactly cheap either, but they say the guy had recently won a lot of money gambling, so maybe that's part of it?

I still don't get why anybody would do such a thing though.

I've seen a lot being written about societal problems and mental healthcare inadequacies, but if anything - we have far better mental healthcare facilities than we did in say, the 20's when a huge portion of the male population had military training and plenty of reasons to be mentally unstable, not to mention non-existent mental healthcare. Why didn't it happen more then? For most of the 20th century there were handfuls of mass shootings (of the spree variety) every decade to be fair, but around ~1980 there was a sharp increase that has sustained itself throughout.

I was a UGC admin for like 2 seasons - so I guess that makes me the only one.

Being as you got power out of the PSU - but not power into the motherboard, my assumptions would be:

The cable between PSU and MOBO is defective.
The connector itself between the MOBO and PSU is bad (that's worse unless you want to solder in a new one).

Your power button from the case has become disconnected from the MOBO
The cable or connector between case and MOBO is bad

I would wager since you cant get any signs of life (hopefully you've got some lights or something on your MOBO or the MOBO speaker plugged in) that it's the cable itself or the connector.

If you have a spare PSU laying around I'd try plugging it in (it's always good to save odds and ends like that) if you know anybody that's into computer stuff too they may also have a spare laying around to see if it's just the cable.

If you can get two PSUs to fail to feed power to the board then there's something wrong with the MOBO's connector I'd assume.

An alternative would be to find a very shitty computer (something nobody cares about - again odds and ends) and try to plug your current PSU into it and see if it tries to come to life lol.

If you can't find a spare PSU to do the testing - you can pick "new" crappy ones up on ebay for 18$ or so - not a bad thing to have around. And if it works you've got a stop-gap until you find something you like better.

Rhy.,.. A story for you:

A friend of mine is a neurologist and a few years ago they had a patient suffer a stroke and through some quirk of the human brain the patient could not remember anything beyond 2010. They were fully aware of events taking place in 2010, and could also tell that it was football season - and was a big Bears fan. So after a few days they asked my friend "How is Cutler working out?"

He didn't have the heart to tell him.

I carried those water chips with me the ENTIRE game the first time I played because I was convinced there would be a use for them lol.

No khaki, back in the late and mid 90s and ESPECIALLY in the 80's every RPG had a rather strange UI that you had to learn independently. Sometimes devs would take inspiration from one bunch or another, but typically they would still do pretty strange stuff in general. Now that we're experiencing a rebirth of RPGs, at least now they tend to make the UI modable so you can sort things out the way that is most intuitive for you because it's still really hard lol. Also, there were lots of things included in RPGs that were "expected" or perhaps more content was planned for, but then it was either never fleshed out, or simply put in for appearance's sake. So sometimes things like that can be real land-mines for the uninitiated, but back then we considered having to restart the game because you made a useless character part of the fun. Honestly, a lot of "classic" RPG games could really benefit from tutorial videos being included with their purchase where a robo-voice walks you through how to use the UI because that's probably the largest barrier to entry since people don't typically expect a manual to contain anything helpful/useful - especially with more obscure titles where you're unlikely to find anybody on hand to answer questions.

Even to this day a lot of the features available in fallout 1-2 simply aren't in recent RPGs (even isometric) for example, right clicking to get the drop down to "examine" an item - most games you either have a new window that pops open to give you some info on an inventory item (which fallout 1 has also) OR there are set spots in the game where your cursor changes somehow to alert you to the fact that there is some flavor text you can read in an area. Whereas fallout 1-2 decided you may want that flavor text to be present for literally every object in the game world lol. They're typically used for comic relief. It's fairly uncommon in recent games - and it would be maddening to use the modern "cursor" change trick because it would be impossible to move lol.

It was hard even then, but once you get the hang of it it's not that hard, plus fallout 2 did little to change the UI so you won't have to relearn anything for that game (I suspect that's one reason fallout 2 was more popular).

It is a good idea to either A. read the manual (I would highly recommend at least browsing it because there is lots of pretty funny text - and a cook book - inside!) or B. watch the first episode of a lets play/walkthrough so you can watch somebody else fiddle with the UI.

Such a good game - if you've not played it you owe it to yourself. The UI is a little unintuitive at first, but that's only a few mins of frustration lol.

If those 6-8 teams use the discord it's nbd - we still used the IRC for Main and there weren't really that many teams in that division - IM teams also used the IRC exclusively for some time. It's no problem so long as people use it. The added benefit being that you can scrim crappier teams if the choice teams aren't around instead of waiting forever or not playing. That's the real "scene" benefit because you can give that mediocre team a chance to play somebody who has 1/2 a clue and maybe they'll end up getting one too. It's only scary because a huge portion of the community now never used IRC and are scared of switching over to the much superior system - in fact - that's why it changed to begin with because the generation that came up from UGC was young enough that they'd never used IRC and then it spread over the whole game as they chose not to figure out how to get IRC working. Well, that and having to mask your IP in irc to not get constantly ddosed.

If you hate pre-arranging scrims just don't do it and simply instruct any leader that tries to arrange things with you to meet you in discord lol. A spark can start a prairie fire :D Otherwise pre-arranging scrims will just continue to be the awful norm.

A lot of the, say, zanier, modern art pieces are essentially the result of artistic boredom. Most folks who are at least quasi-known artists, or who at least could get their stuff shown in a reputable place, tend to be quite talented in their chosen medium - but they've simply grown bored of it so they take to doing wacky stuff for a while. The ones whose boredom really catches on tends to be because they're weird in a new way - so people talk about it.

Don't really see anything unusual about that.

If you're a person who likes realistic paintings or really any other kind of art, there is plenty of consumable art out there for you - people are making all kinds of stuff, and thankfully, most of it doesn't cost 20 mil.

Especially since a huge portion of the demographic here is either in university or headed to university, I would strongly advise you to drop in on student art exhibits; sometimes there's some really quality stuff hiding out and you can make a new friend and have something neat to show people, and if you're lucky you won't grow to hate it.
