| Kenri 07/25/21 8:14:03 PM #12 | 4/10 I feel like it spends a long time building towards a conclusion it never reaches. As a series of vignettes it's... okay, but I don't feel like most of the individual stories can stand on their own. Unfortunately by the end of the game it feels like they can't stand together either. I was pretty disappointed with this one. --- Congrats to BKSheikah, who knows more about years than anyone else. |

There's a reason why everyone with Jenova cells, including Jenova itself, is drawn to Sephiroth, not Jenova.I don't feel like there's a meaningful difference there if you're already assuming Seph is being controlled by Jenova, though? Again, I know the official line contradicts all this, but if I'm assuming death of the author and all that, this is what I got out of the plot --- Congrats to BKSheikah, who knows more about years than anyone else. |

| Kenri 07/25/21 1:55:49 PM #43 | andylt posted... I'm in the minority here but I think Sephiroth is the absolute worst villain in this game. I find Shinra to be way more interesting and thematically strong, Jenova and the WEAPONs have a cool freaky eldritch vibe, but I just never felt anything positive towards Seph so when the game shifts away from Shinra entirely I kind of check out.I definitely agree with this. Shinra (and particularly Rufus) is one of the most compelling villains in any video game I've played; Seph is just a really strong dude with a sword. They handle it well but it's a step down. --- Congrats to BKSheikah, who knows more about years than anyone else. |

First of all its iconic as hell because of the anime and was a feature in not one but TWO of Joeys duels (remember when he forgot to take it out of his deck after the Weevil duel so he had to summon it against Mako?)I feel like that's not how it should work, not that that ever stopped the anime before lol It's a cool card but it feels really underpowered to me. I assume the face-up condition is so your opponent can't pretend to have not drawn it, but it doesn't seem strong enough for anyone to risk getting caught cheating just to avoid its rather minor effects. --- Congrats to BKSheikah, who knows more about years than anyone else. |

| Topic | Any B8ers have experience dealing with sleep paralysis? |
| Kenri 07/19/21 11:15:15 PM #26 | davidponte posted... I very rarely experience this sort of in-between state of sleeping and being awake, which may be sleep paralysis, where it feels like my body is asleep but I am awake, and it usually comes with a sense of fear but not physically seeing something. I always try to move my body but it's stuck in place despite what feels like a tremendous amount of effort to force any movement. It sucks but I've found that if I really exert myself and focus I can eventually move and kind of snap out of it into a state of being fully awake.Yeah, this sounds almost exactly like what's been happening to me. The one hallucination that really messed me up the other night was when I didn't put in that effort to move and snap out of it, so uhhh lesson learned. pjbasis posted... I had one where I fell asleep on my bed in the middle of the day, so when I hallucinated I thought my friends had come over to pick me up from plans we had made. I heard my mother greet them, walk up the stairs to my room, and even saw them poke their head in. They laughed at me and told me to get up, and my inability to respond just made them laugh harder. I even thought it was pretty funny at the time, if a little embarrassing. They're not always terrifying! Though I've had a few of those too.I've had a couple like this too! Definitely less scary when it's someone you'd be happy to see, haha wg64Z posted... Defintely get tested for Sleep Apnea as well, this can make you feel like you're bouncing between dream land and the real world since your body never settles into a deep enough sleep.I've been tested for it before and apparently don't have it, but it would explain so many random problems in my life that I'm definitely considering being tested again... Llarian posted... Does this happen before sleep? I have an undefined amount of time before I actually drift off where my body feels like it can't move but I am conscious. No hallucinations or anything, just lucid thoughts like 'I wish I could sleep', haha.Yeah from what research I've done it can happen either before fully falling asleep or before fully waking up. For me personally it's hard to tell the difference. --- Congrats to BKSheikah, who knows more about years than anyone else. |
| Topic | Have the past six years changed your enjoyment/perception of media? |
| Kenri 07/19/21 11:03:31 PM #54 | To answer the actual topic, the biggest change for me has been in liking asshole characters less. Like there's still some clear appeal there if they're otherwise well-written or funny This goes double (or like 10x) for media where the entire point is shitting on other (often amateur) media. "Angry Youtube guy" as a genre seems like it's lost popularity in general so I'm probably not the only one who feels this way, but it's definitely something I just find immature and mean rather than funny these days.

My girlfriend had it happen once and she said she saw some shadowy nun looking things in the corner of the room.God, these sound fucking horrible. I've got pretty much every other kind of hallucination but I've yet to actually "see" anything like this.

VintageGin posted... Are you a back sleeper or a side sleeper? From what I've hear it's more common among back sleepers. Maybe something changed in your sleeping position in June?Side usually, sometimes stomach, I can almost never fall asleep on my back though I sometimes end up on it during the night. The first time it happened in early June I was jetlagged, had been up for about 20 hours, was on about 3-4 hours of sleep per night for the previous three nights, was drunk, and was sleeping on a couch, so like... no surprises there that it happened lmao. Unfortunately since then it's been happening without any of that stuff to explain it. TheRock1525 posted...

| Topic | Any B8ers have experience dealing with sleep paralysis? |
| Kenri 07/19/21 12:06:07 AM #1 | This is something that just started happening to me back in early June, and it's only been about once every two weeks and typically goes away pretty quickly. But last night was different and I basically tried all night to fall asleep, but every time I just started hallucinating and woke up a few minutes later. The hallucinations were pretty standard sleep paralysis stuff: loud noises, flashing lights, out of body experiences, and feeling like "someone" was in the room with me. I'm not typically easy to scare but some of these hallucinations left me so panicked/paranoid afterward that I ended up trying to sleep with my desk lamp on for the rest of the night... lol. Luckily I didn't have work today so I finally got some actual sleep around 12pm. Even then my dreams were super vivid and I woke up a lot. Just wondering if anyone else has dealt with this and has any advice on what to do next time it happens! --- Congrats to BKSheikah, who knows more about years than anyone else. |
