To tell you the truth, no I'm not. I'm disabled and live below the poverty line, and i'm trying to raise money to move interstate so i can live with my children again after 5 years of fighting my ex in court and trying to save money, but it cost so much and theres no way i can afford to do it without resorting to charity AND finding a way to work from home but I'm not good at asking for help. My hobby of SM64 Hacks is basically therapeutic to help deal with the stress of my situation - and I guess I put all of that into the story in MCR.

[@zacclark5945]

@@Quills64 It seems like you have a lot of pressure building up and not asking for help is self destructive at best. But if you are fighting for your kids, you have to ask for help on their behalf. Confronting fears in the face of danger is the ultimate test of self and the situation calls for it. I know that if I didn't use every possible last resource for someone that was of the upmost importance I would be devastated. Everybody is a mess to some degree and we all have our personal struggles. Yours are just more challenging than others at the moment so there is no shame in needing extra assistance. Good luck bro.

About that triple triad quest which you get a giant carpet card you need all 312 cards which i have 287 and im gonna finish but in next expansion sadly. About the relic im focusing rn to finish the weapon 1st than doing the save the queen story but this 1st step will make you feel despair because you need to grind 180 times in total, 60 in alexander,omega and eden raid but think of the good side do the ones which include free tomes, i already have 156/180 and need just to do 24 times on eden to farm white crystal. About my run i farmed 100 but i would stop in 117 yesterday but i ended early because of a user with a cringe username which i dont have patience to do in the same party with me and i found him again today which he kept following me every pf but i was about to do a break and do some IRL walkies but the walkies will be later after i finish watch this Dad video. After IRL walkies i finish my 180 raid grind farm then do the next relic quest until i complete then i do the save the queen questline which include the new area and farm for Basch set, i would farm for Larsa if he was a sam but i got dissapointed because he switched places with penelo and giving penelo as SAM set i got really mad and hurted my soul so much because its like you wanna give Sakura a katana, so yeah i found it useless, so only Basch set to farm.
