I dunno... Not much help really. Seems like a lot of malarkey. I would be very interested in a clear example with transcription or summary of dialogue if possible.
He waves a pocketwatch in front of their faces for about a minute while slowly lulling them into his control with his soft charmful words.
I don't think it always has much do with how smart people are, more so with how open people are emotionally. I don't think there's much inherent genius in manipulating people, it's very easy to take advantage of the goodness within people, there's nothing interesting or unique about that, it's just being an ******* / bad person (depending on the type of manipulation).
Foot x2 as a 6yr old (I jumped off of my backyard fort to impress the local girls...didn't work, this was the start of DangerBoy's downfall); thumb/hand x3; arm; nose; shoulderblade, collarbone, arm; nose again; fibula (stress fracture); rib x2; kneecap; rib x2 Ribs are the worst. Do not recommend.
Tried it again today just to see if I've still got it. Unfortunately, took one death in early part of Energy Zone (got careless). Smooth sailing aside from that. Usually if I die it is to the Waterfall boss or in Snow Field.
You better set up a twitch account and prove it to the CF community. Then again, I semi-believe you ever since I saw this amazing playthrough.
Good show, ol' chap. My senior year in HS I was well known for leaving school after homeroom and going to the beach with whomever wanted to join us. I was rarely in school after lunch. Anyhoo, one day in Homeroom we were given a sheet that listed all of the extra credit organizations and activities. I checked Every. Single. Box. I guess nobody checked because most are in my Senior photo accolades.
I was raised by a pack of wolves and eventually had to fight my own brother to become the leader of the pack.
I've made a lot of friends online in the past 15 years, and I've met 2-3 dozen of them in person. Many of them I'd never seen their face or heard their voice beforehand. People all over the country, and not simply passing through the same city and having coffee. Staying with their families, going to conventions, going on ski trips together, visiting their family's farm and hitting it off and then dating them for 8 years (2 long-distance, 6 down here in Houston), etc. I feel like the poster child for the antithesis of "the internet is full of scary people" mentality that used to pervade society. The internet is just full of people. Real people.
I'll go with the interesting aspect for these next few. 1) I do IT Support for a living, but I started off my work career at Krogers before believing in myself enough to get a JR level Systems Admin job. Once I got that in 2013, my career really took off. 2) I've yoyoed between 165 and 245 in the last 2 years. School stress (done in Dec 2019), work stress, covid stress and night eating will do that. Weird: 1) When working out, I'll lose track of reps and just work out until muscle failure. I lose track easily lol. Sometimes I'll go to arbitrary numbers of reps when I remember. If my goal is 20,I'll do 23 for example.
Here's one I completely forgot about. I tried psylocibin (shrooms) for a clinical trial for treatment - resistant depression 2 months ago. So far, it's made a huge difference. The medicine I got off and then got back on some of it works even better now. It was quite the experience for someone that tried pot twice for neck pain 10 years ago. Makes me consider microdosing as well.
