What's the deal with Ryan Upchurch?

I'm aware he lost a defamation suit against the Rodni family and was ordered to pay $17.5m.

I'm not really concerned with that, I just mean in general.

What's wrong with this dude?

Heard a lot of negative things about him and I'm not fully aware of all of it so I'm out of the loop. I used to listen to this dude years ago.

So I'd like some context.

IRL Nicole

This is basically Nicole today, but even this girl has more redeeming qualities than Nicole tbh.

A diagnosed sociopath has more redeeming qualities than Nicole.

"Not everyone is out to get you" Sure, but they will screw you over

I hate it when people say "not everyone's out to get you". I wish people would quit saying it.

It's just a shitty comeback to dismiss someone's frustrations to gaslight people who don't subscribe to their rose-tinted-glasses view of the world. That's all it is. Naive people with no life experience who have never experienced human nature and want to preach to people who have been through shit and judge them for their cynicism and jaded attitude.

People will fuck you over if it benefits them, that's just a fact of life. Especially nowadays where everyone is so out for themselves and doesn't give a fuck about anyone.

It's a cold hard world and I wonder when people are gonna wake up and realize it and quit it with the "nOt EvErYoNe iS oUt tO gEt yOu" bullshit.

There's very valid reasons to be cynical these days.

I finished LMDF... and I hate it

Okay I don't hate it, I do enjoy playing Devil May Cry as Leon.

But after rank 2 it goes really downhill.

Things I hate:

Removing the hatchet resharpening ability.

  • This absolutely cripples your ability to save ammo. Leon becomes as useless as wet noodle if you run out of ammo AND hatchet durability. He becomes literally defenseless.
  • The entire point of a melee weapon is to save ammo, but because you have to rely on either hatchet durability restoration tokens (which are scarce) or you have to constantly re-roll perks until you get a hatchet durability restoration one!
  • Good luck being able to effectively use your hatchet! You now have to save durability on top of trying to save ammo... which is the key resource.
  • Cravo Bapcom!

RNG!

  • Who needs actually being able to pick and choose what perks you get, right? Who would want that? Only losers would want that! Who needs actually intuitive and well designed perk systems? If people don't like it, skill issue, right? Oh wait, there is no skill, it's literally just randomized. Why? Because fuck you.
  • This mechanic is fine for ammo drops or even guns, not perks.
  • Fuck this mechanic to hell and back.

The red and blue enemies

  • Holy shit if nothing else, THESE fuckers were a mistake. They are just bullet sponges.
  • Worst part is you can't even do finishers or melees on them so you can't stagger and melee them to save ammo like you can in the base game. Literally the only thing you can do is use grenades (if you have any) or have fun wasting ammo on them.

THE RANKS

  • Holy shit this system exists just to piss you off.
  • Each rank gives you less starting time.
  • Rank 1 = 9 minutes
  • Rank 2 = 6 minutes
  • Rank 3 = 5 minutes
  • Rank 4 = 4 minutes
  • Rank 5 = 3 minutes
  • So on top of enemies becoming more and more bullet spongey and dealing more damage per hit with each rank, resources becoming more difficult to get, and ... you now have less time... Fucking brilliant.
  • Resources are much more scarce in later ranks. Enjoy not only not being able to save ammo with your hatchet, while also not
  • Re-rolling becomes very expensive in later ranks.
  • Red and blue enemies spawn more frequently.
  • It genuinely feels like playing on very hard in Fallout 4.

Believe it or not, just making a game harder doesn't make it more challenging or enjoyable.

Insanity mode in Requiem is frustrating but it's doable because it doesn't have garbage mechanics and actually requires you to play smart and use the mechanics, map knowledge, AI, etc, to your advantage. This gamemode literally does not give you the means to do that.

There is basically only one way to play this gamemode; to take the path of least resistance and avoid enemies entirely, stack firepower perks and find the best weapons you can, and half of that is entirely luck based.

It's decent in rank 1, but it becomes much more frustrating after that and it's problems become much more glaring. Many of the mechanics trip over each other and it's very clear Capcom did not playtest it and that they rushed it because there's nothing that screams 'low effort' more than using RNG as a substitute for actually intuitive mechanics.

It isn't even enjoyable or challenging, there's no gameplay loop or design philosophy behind it. It's entirely based on luck. You will have a bad time if you don't get the right guns and the right perks.

Honestly I wouldn't recommend playing this without mods beyond rank 1, because that's the most balanced out of all of them.

I really wanted to like this gamemode, and I do enjoy playing on Rank 1, but beyond that? Nope.

I can't wait for more mods to come out for this gamemode because it needs to be overhauled.

Here's some I use that I'd recommend, they will make your experience a lot less painful:

A lot of this is based on my personal interpretation and the sizes of their sprites.

I know I didn't include all of the characters these are just the ones I give a shit about lol.

What do you guys think? What are your height headcanons?

I don't even know where to start so I'll just make it short and snappy and list everything:

  • I'm 24
    • Already halfway to 30 and I'm really far behind people my age and I feel like a failure already
  • No job
    • One recruiter wants to set up an interview but idk not getting my hopes up that anything comes of it.
  • No car, a friend offers to drive me and I always pay him for gas.
  • No money to pay for anything
  • Can't afford therapy at all
  • Living with my mother
  • I live in a small town with 10k people at least 20-25 miles away from a city and I feel trapped in it.
  • Very little career prospects where I live
    • The only jobs I can get are retail jobs. My job history is working at a pizza place, Walmart, and generally doing stocking jobs.
  • I have a few close friends (all from when I was a teenager when I was much different) but only one is close by, the others are long distance.
  • Overweight (but losing weight slowly) and working out
  • My mental and emotional health is non-existent.
  • I haven't had a job in a year and I've left the house only once since then.
  • I overthink a LOT, feel hopeless, generally irritable throughout the day, anger issues from childhood trauma, among others.
  • Not a social person.
    • I struggle to make friends or find dates. I don't go out (even if I could) and I prefer to stay home and do my own thing. I only hang out with people I know, I generally view anyone outside my circle as a stranger at best and potential threat at worst.
  • I have disorganized attachment
    • Specifically an avoidant, but whether I'm a fearful avoidant, dismissive or anxious, I have no idea.
    • I am extremely independent and I obsess over self-reliance and rarely if ever ask for help.
      • My mother wanted to take me to a car dealership and get me a car but I said no because I do not want her to spend money on me and get me even a 5k car. A 24 year old should not leech off their parents. Living at home is bad enough.
      • I'm an adult and I need to act like it. I refuse to borrow money and when friends insist I feel immense guilt when I'm broke because when I go out with a friend (I have only done so once this year because I didn't want to cancel or say no over that and flake especially when we only see each other once a year) and I know that as soon as I get a job I'm spending my entire paycheck on paying my friends back.
    • I usually suppress feelings and rarely vent or tell my friends what's going on because they have their own shit and don't need to be bothered with my problems. My problems are mine to solve, no one else's. I also don't like talking about my feelings and feel weird when I do. It's to the point where I never cry in front of anyone. I generally view myself as a burden to those around me.
    • When I'm at work or anywhere really, I shut down and just go on autopilot and disassociate. I don't discuss anything personal with coworkers because they're strangers and I don't know them. Nor do I really want to, I have a major distrust in people I don't know. Emotional intimacy makes me very uncomfortable even though I want it.
  • No girlfriend obviously lol
    • Been single for the last 6-7 years but the older I get the more lonely I feel.
    • From what people have told me about avoidants, yes, I understand I am toxic to those around me and that I should not date until I fix myself. I know I'm a major mess and I know its for the best that I stay single. It's not like I have a good enough living situation to date either, no girl would date someone with no car, job or place of their own.
    • I want connection but I'm terrified of it and do not believe I can connect with people and I'm not even sure if I necessarily want to because I'm too scared of being vulnerable and I'm scared of finding the wrong person and being hurt.
    • I genuinely cannot see a woman wanting to date me. Even if one did I don't even know if I want to try how the dating market is going. No one wants to date anymore anyway. Gen Z is the most sexless and single generation in history and no one is interested in dating (probably not for a long time) so that's not helping me either.
    • Since I can't afford therapy, I'm unable to date because my issues are going to take YEARS of unpacking and coping before I'm ever ready to date.
  • The way the world is right now with the government and society I already feel everything's FUBAR anyway.

I know I have to make changes, I have to do something but I genuinely have zero clue as to what I'm supposed to do.

Being in your 20s sucks, you're thrusted into life at 18 and expected to know everything. You have all this responsibility that you don't know what to do with. There's no book to life, you just have to figure it out and hope you don't fuck your life up or make mistakes. It's depressing.

Anyone have any insight or advice?

If you want to ask questions to know more, I'll answer as honestly as I can.
