I'm bummed because I got spoiled the deaths in marineford... I just need some kind of motivation to continue. Marineford is cited as the peak of one piece and Im upset I got spoiled the best arc of one piece. The one moment where it peaks. Are there any peaks after that for me to look forward to? Any other surprises or twists that are notorious that I still haven't been spoiled on? Some reassurance will help me cope with the pain of having this spoiled.

I'm around the start/middle of chapter 2 and so far I have not been enjoying the combat of this game whatsoever. The final boss of ch 1 with the black bear was genuinely one of the most boring bosses I've fought in a while. He was easy but most importantly, I got a sense of, "damn, that felt super unsatisfying" after beating him. Then I realized that's how I felt for all the bosses in the game so far. There has been no adrenaline in my body playing this game. But I want to hope it's because I'm just at the start of the game and it gets better in the future? Anyone help?

US obviously dominates across all mediums with its music, film, tv, and video games. They've got Disney, Marvel, Taylor Swift, Hollywood, Michael Jackson, Game of Thrones, the list goes on and on.

Japan is the other big one. Anime, video games, manga. Music's probably their weak spot, but they completely dominate the comic industry now with Manga. They've got Pokemon, which is the largest media franchise ever. They've also got Nintendo, SEGA, Mario, Sonic, Zelda, One Piece, Attack on titan.

What other countries have I missed?

I'm on a journey to find more video games that would fit the SCD community because I believe video games are an underrated genre for scd.

Here are the big ones:

Ace Attorney

Danganronpa

Super Danganronpa Another 2

Zero Escape

Umineko no naku koro ni

Your turn to die

Anyone know of any other scd adjacent games?

I'm looking for mind game scd media. These are the ones that come up a lot on this subreddit. Would I get mind games with clever feats for these series? They seem kind of action focused, so I'm on the fence....

I've been pretty much friendless my entire life but recently after maybe 9 years of being a complete loner, I have infiltrated an established friend group that's been going strong for 2-3 years... I think theyre all great people and I enjoy spending time with them but holy I am absoloutely terrified of them. Every time before our hangouts, I'm always DREADING the hangout. Once I actually get there, it's all fine and I'm enjoying myself and I feel like I'm a part of thisfriend group but as soon as I'm done and I get home, the very next day my entire brain completely resets. I'm absoloutely DREADING the next hangout. I have these constant thoughts of self-doubt and crippling fear and I keep thinking about all these things and the future of these hangouts and how many more of intense social situations I'd have to deal with and it's just so much.... I keep thinking about all the inconveniences that will happen as a result of me going with them. I keep thinking about my inability to meet certain expectations. I keep thinking about all these different things, to the point of spiraling out of control. I just don't know.... It's just.... so hard.... I'm evaluating every interaction. Every time I fuck an interaction up, I have intense guilt and regret. THEY KNOW EACH OTHER A LOT LONGER THAN THEY KNOW ME AND I FEEL LIKE AN OUTSIDER AND I FEEL LIKE I'LL ALWAYS BE AN OUTSIDER BECAUSE IM MISSING SO MANY OF THEIR HISTORY AND COMMON GROUNDS. I wanna go back to being a complete loner.... It has been 8 months since ive been hanging out with them. Nothing's changed.... I can't take this anymore... I want to fucking kill myself.
