Why does this make you sad?

Why doesn't this make you sad?

I would guess it made him sad because France is so douchey as to invade a nuclear wasteland just to add insult to injury.

[Lord Inquisitor]

I have no homebrew beer!

So in other news, I accidentally nuked Iraq today. Then I on purpose nuked the USSR, Red China, and the U.K.

Why the U.K? Because I wanted to see what would happen. And I did. France issued a statement of condemnation towards them, cut off all trade, and invaded the irradiated slag heap that was the remnants of the British Empire.

France is such an asshole.

What gaem?

[Skyrunner]

I guess Civ 5 or EU III.

Gæm~

[Descan]

EU3 doesn't have nukes.

Civ5 doesn't have Iraq.

[Sirus]

I predict Shadow President. It sounds like that sort of game.

[Skyrunner]

Superpowers II?

I know it has lots of nukes ...

[SirAaronIII]

This is probably it. Most stories I hear about Shadow President around here involve nuking many places.

Either that or real life.

Feeling heartbroken for no reason; Not even got a crush on anyone at the moment. This is the second time in as many weeks too. Weird.

Not looking forward to work tonight. My wrist hasn't given me any problems for the last few days and I hope it's healed. I guess I'll find out during my shift.

In the morning I am going to pick out an urn for my stillborn baby brother. I wasn't going to go, but several people have insisted that I should go so I don't regret anything when I am older. I don't know why, but I haven't really cried about it at all. I am always good in emergencies involving people with mental breakdowns and head wounds, but sometimes I worry. I am sad about it, I truly am, I just haven't been uncontrollably so. I feel like I should be breaking down and going insane, based on the number of people who have asked me if I am okay. But I really am at peace with it, despite it only happening a few days ago. I just don't know.

I'd claim it's IRL as a joke but the military is going to be checking through EVERYTHING soon (I need top security clearance to be a linguist for some reason?) so none of that.

Shadow President, a game which proves that I probably should not be commander in chief.

Also Civ V does kind of sorta have Iraq in Babylon, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Oman, UAE, and Kuwait in Arabia, and Iran and Pakistan in Persia. Following that train of thought, the Aztecs become Mexico, the Maya could be Brazil/lowland South America, and the Inca could play as Chile up through Honduras. The poor Iroquois had their whole empire razed by america and Canada is a citystate (?!). We have all the scandinavians now, plus Austria, which mostly fleshes out Europe. We have China, Japan, Siam for indonesia + thailand and associates, Korea (only one, and the ability makes me think it'd be South Korea), Mongolia, and Russia would need some seriously massive culture to have Siberia without any major cities. As for Africa, we have Egypt, Mali, and Ethiopia, which makes Africa the least crowded continent in the game. No, wait, Australia is a city-state. The continent has and will only ever have one, lonely city.

 The poor British isles have the celts and the British crowded onto a tiny little island that can barely support two cities though, since Ireland is a city-state. Not to mention the Byzantines and Ottoman Empires are THE EXACT SAME CIVILIZATION.

I've always been the same way. For some reason I don't get sad. I have fewer posts in this thread than anyone.

 Sorry about your brother though. That's terrible.

Some people handle grief a bit differently. You may uh... Well, be less sensitive to grief. Not to say you won't grieve, but it may not be as intense for you. I believe I know how you feel, because I've never been super upset over a family member passing, I was sad, sure, but it wasn't overwhelming.

As a side note, I also have anhedonia, which makes me sad when I see happy/excited people.

I would make you depressed.

My sister may actually really kill you though. Saddest I've seen her is when a pet dies and that's over within ten minutes.

[Hanslanda]

Well, you would probably just make me momentarily sad until I could recover my 'I'm a happy and productive member of society' mask, then it would just fade into the depression backround noise. But yeah, you're sister might drive me insane if she's that happy a person.
And anhedonia means unable to feel pleasure, so I might have made an incorrect statement, but saying, 'I get sad when I see pleasured people' would sound kinda fucked up.

Thanks for all the nice responses, they really help. My aunt is coming out in five days, which is neat, even if it is because of a depressing reason. So, there's the bright side to this problem!
