You're comparing VC to Unity? Because they are SO similar in gameplay style right?

wpwpwp

No, because they released at the same time. Video games aren't like some other forms of media where you can only fairly compare sales in similar niches.

I never liked button mashing fun. My game controller gets damaged after some time and buying a new one is a pain in the behind.
But you liked Kingdoms of Amalur...
I didn't mash buttons there, my gear was so op I just clicked attack and it was quickly over.

You totally did for the first 25% or so of the game. Everyone did.

I didn't mash buttons, honest !
In RPGs like that I usually click with mouse

My gamepad was totally safe

And my keyboard was safe as well, it was just, 1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,5

LMBs are buttons too! Don't discriminate!

Boring day at work. All the students have half year tests, so I'm sitting in a small room watching over some pupils.
Gonna be sitting like this all day. Thanks heaven for work-laptop, or I would have died of boredom.
Brought my Kindle, but not sure what to read. I need something dark and provoking. Any ideas?

Into the darkest corner by Elizabeth Haynes.

Been listening to the audio book of it for the last few weeks and its depiction of domestic violence is pretty horrific but an engaging read.

Goldfrapp · « **Reply #3465 on:** **Today** at 07:15:06 AM »

Just looked it up on Amazon, looks promesing. Thanks!

Pros and Cons of being sick:
Pros:
Lots of free time for animu and games and other stuff

Cons:
Feeling bad, not being able to go out too much, medicine costs a lot in Poland

Sick leave has lowered wage over time.

Gotta get better fast or I lose money, so the only good thing is I get to watch more anime and have much more free time to do other stuff like spreading my illness to others to make em suffer with me.

lucky in Australia, medicine is cheap and visiting the doctor is free

My dad still expects me to read even when i'm feeling sick, he's just an ass.

kurandoinu · « **Reply #3469 on:** **Today** at 08:39:04 AM »

I like reading when I'm ill, unless I've got a headache in which case I usually just sleep. Done fairly well and not been properly ill since last January though which is pretty good considering I work with the general public and handle their money and phones.

I almost never get sick. I do however, have bouts of sinus-induced dizzy fits, which reduce me to a bed-ridden mess, with constant major headaches, to the point I need to lay an exact way, or else I can't stop the throbbing and vomiting. The pain is indescribable, closest description I can give, is its probably like someone swinging a shovel into my brain, as hard as they can, every half a second or so.

I get it once or twice a year randomly. Usually Saturday's, and usually lasts 24 - 48 hours. Just had it last weekend infact, but this time I can still somewhat feel the effects of it even a whole week later.
The problem is, the medicine to ease it (never cure it) is worse than not taking medicine at all, so there's literally nothing anyone can do about it.

kurandoinu · « **Reply #3471 on:** **Today** at 09:09:42 AM »

I'd count that as being ill tbh

blackhole · « **Reply #3472 on:** **Today** at 09:16:51 AM »

In my book, being ill/sick means not being healthy. So yeah, that is being ill.

Luckily in Norway seeing the doctor is free if you can wait 4 months. And the medecine is only really expensive, but it's not like you can buy them without visiting the soctor and get a reciept. You can get like 200mg painkillers without one. I remember our trip to Poland where they diddn't have anything below 500mg to sell us.

kurandoinu · « **Reply #3474 on:** **Today** at 09:24:38 AM »

I've only had to buy a prescription a few times, usually when I am ill I just need some good painkillers for my sinuses and to go to sleep. When I was a kid I just used to get dizzy. I've only thrown up one day over the last... 14ish years.

I did start experiencing migraines for a while and got a lot of headaches but that turned out to be from my birth control pill. Changed you an implant just over a year ago and suddenly have about 10x less headaches and no migraines.

blackhole · « **Reply #3475 on:** **Today** at 09:26:14 AM »

Yeah, pain killers and cold medicine are on top of everything, after that there are diet supplements and supplements for supplements and supplements to get rid of supplements.

There are so many contradictions here it's funny how people fall in that.
My only supplement is vitamins for seasons when I don't get to buy a fruit with lots of that vitamin for normal (not overpriced because importing in say winter or something like that) price and magnesium and sometimes iron depending on my current diet.

Basically in summer and spring I don't even take vitamins because I get that all from veggies and fruits, I only take mag because I drink small amounts of coffee (with milk) so I need to take vitamins in fall and winter when some fruits are not available.

Sounds like a sinus infection. And, yes, like the others said, this is literal definition of being ill.

Krudda · « **Reply #3477 on:** **Today** at 10:58:02 AM »

I never said I don't assume it as being ill, I said I don't count it as sick, since it's not contracted through a virus, but rather a problem with my body to begin with.

kurandoinu · « **Reply #3478 on:** **Today** at 11:02:09 AM »

What on earth are you using to separate sick from ill? They're both the same thing unless you take the British meaning of sick to be vomit which you also covered. :/

If it's sick, it's Timbaland
If it's ill, it's Beastie Boys
