I loved Undertale but I never publicly announce it often because it invites a lot of "yeah but it wasn't the best game ever" or "the fandom is so crazy" nonsense.

There's an LP series of Lisa on YouTube by this goon called thevoiceofdog, and he did a pre-LP video about Earthbound-likes which you should check out, he touches briefly on Undertale but doesn't want to spoil anything about it but it's a cool video about these games which all have quite a similar tone

Not really annoying, just different! Music can be such a huge draw for me with games.

Talk to her about it?

I really wish I could. Unfortunately, the situation is complex. I'm single, she's not. I've known her a lot longer than her boyfriend has, but I wouldn't want to come between them, and I certainly wouldn't want to risk losing her completely. She's my closest friend - my only friend - and I love her to death, but seeing her happy makes me happy, and if that means seeing jet off to Spain, well, it's worth the broken heart to see her happy.
 
Men and women can't be friends. I strongly believe this. I don't care how progressive you think you are. One of the two wants to bang the other.



I've gone country.

I'm going to listen to Blake Shelton all morning.

Sounds painful. But I think you are making the right choice in this case.

I mostly remember music in games when its repetitive over long periods of gameplay (the sims, civilization), its a part of the mechanics (Zelda OoT, Zelda WW), its heavily tied to a specific event (loading a match in battlefield), or they make a huge point of it and the song is catchy (Life is Strange Episode 1, Tales from the Borderlands Episode 4)

pretty much all other songs I have to hear a few times outside of the game to remember them

It's not just a case of wanting to bump nasties with her. I want her. I want to be with her in each and every way. Hell, we started talking six years ago and we hit it off instantly. She'd randomly ring me and we'd talk for hours. She's a gamer, too, and we often have little nerd sessions. For Christmas, I bought her a Deadpool plushie, a Superman rubber duck, and some other little nerdy gifts, and she loved it. I'm hooked on her and this is killing me. I never realised it until now but I am addicted to her.

That's what I mean. You love this girl. There's no reason you should have ever just settled for friends.

I dunno, what if you're both super uggo?

I've only ever had one successful friendship with a girl that didn't devolve, it's still ongoing and there is zero sexual tension between us. I'm very bad at recognizing when someone's attracted to me though so WHO KNOWS.

It's awful because I often relate better to women than men, I find most men completely insufferable.

The fact you want to bang the other doesn't mean you can't be friends though.

The thought 'would I bang her?' does always come up. Sometimes the answer is yes, sometimes no, but in both cases I can be friends with said person.

Problem is if you fall in love with the friend and that seems to be Toasted's problem.

The Last of Us music was so brilliant and stuck with me so much that I bought the limited edition vinyl.

Incidentally, I played Oxenfree yesterday and the music in that game is rather awesome as well, it really went a long way to establish the unique feel of the game -- I'd probably buy that soundtrack too.

Absoluuutely false. Not sure if joking though.

For starters, I don't want to bang every girl I'd be friends with or am friends with. For seconders, even the ones I would like to bang -- Doesn't mean I'm not their friend or can't enjoy their company without banging them. I think yous got me all figgered wrong, cuz.

yea i guess there are stipulations. Are you both ugly. Who's uglier. Is one attractive, is that person the single person.

I guess I just don't think it's a good idea, rather than I think it's not possible.

Sounds like you have a good idea of what's best for both of you. Being just friends with people you love is tough, I've been there, but sometimes it's worth it to keep the friendship.

Love her? I'm crazy about her. Yet there's nothing I can do about it. But I'm happy to 'settle' being friends with her if it means keeping her in my life. I'd rather has her a friend than not have her in my life at all.

I haven't been in love. hard to understand how something exists if you haven't experienced it yourself

so far everyone's been interchangable. when the other person starts getting more serious, I lose interest and move on to someone else.

Well what level of friends are we talking about.


I mean there's "meet at the bar" friends, then there's "help you move" friends, then there's "spend every waking second with" friend.

Whatever helps man. I've been there. I fell in love with an exchange student from Norway. We clicked right away like you were talking about. But the unfortunate reality of her needing to move back got in the way. We stayed in contact and would Skype after she moved. But eventually I had to watch her fall in love with someone else that was available, and needed to just move on.

It's hard as fuck, but time helps.

It's a dangerous gamble that's for sure. If one or both of you invest in the friendship with a lot of emotion then you're setting yourself up for failure when one or both of you wants to bone.

We're animals.

I dunno. I don't have a lot of "help me move" friends because that's something I'm too good a friend to ask someone to do. So I guess we skip that step.

Honestly though I'll be friends with just about anyone if they're a cool/nice person. I don't care if they're a guy or a girl. If I saw some possibilities I'll make my intentions known or probably not pursue a friendship, but if one happened anyway it wouldn't be the end of the world.

I get what you're saying -- That sexual tension is going to get in the way of friendship -- That may happen sometimes but it's not going to happen every time, especially once you're a bit older and more chilled out like I am.

I've had to deal with her finding someone else already, I can deal with that. It's going to be the distance that will kill me. Right now, if I want to see her, it's a quick text and we can be together in five minutes. But that's not going to be an option when she's living in Spain. She has said she will try and call me on Skype whenever she can but, well, she's going to be working promotions over there, so who knows how often that will be? It could be days, weeks, or even a month or so before I hear from her. God, I hate it, I hate feeling like this.

I can see that. It was just my knee jerk reaction to Toasted's situation. I used to be in friend zones and it drove me insane.

There was this time I was fat in high school and I tried to profess my love to my friend by writing in her yearbook. The captain of the football team got a look at it though and let everyone in school know. I was a big joke. Then I became Ryan Reynolds.
 
Kind of funny this got brought up. One of my girl's childhood friends asked her out to lunch the other day and confessed his love to her. Even said he would marry her and be a dad lol. He got shot down and hard.

Sex and friendship aren't mutually exclusive. I have guy friends who I fuck and are nothing more than friends. I have no romantic feelings at all. And I have guy friends I don't have anything for. People have the capacity for friendship with anyone.

I just don't know what to do. I find it incredibly hard to make new friends, and I'd love to be able to make new friends to help get over her leaving. I'm jealous of everyone with friends. Literally, everyone. I'm not even a bad person. I just suffer from crippling anxiety issues that prevent me from doing, well, anything.

I consider this true also. Being attracted to your friends does not have to be a significant problem or even wanting to have sex with them.

But when one wants more than a friendship it becomes a problem.

Story, now.

It's not a long story. When I was a teenager I was at some gathering -- Some dude had been sorta giving me shit all night (he was drunk and trying to impress some girl he was with and for some reason targeted me) and it culminated with him coming up behind me when I was playing Dreamcast and putting his dick on my shoulder. He was a cartoon high school villain.

I recoiled but didn't really make him pay for it. Ever since I've fantasized about elbowing him in the balls like he deserved. No one wouldn't have said he had it coming. I'm not a violent person but there comes a point when you need to defend yourself.

In my group, a strong disrespect is often called a "dickshouldering" to this day. "Yeah that guy totally dickshouldered you just now"

Are there any hobbies you have that could give you an excuse to be social?

I'm an awful, aloof prick who doesn't like most people but I do a weekly board gaming group at a local comic book shop where I've made a couple of good friends.

I don't have any friends. I haven't made any guy friends since high school and all those people have moved away.

My wife and my father-in-law are literally my best friends and they're required to be. By law.

Eh, speaking from experience, you can deal with it if you're mature about it. I'm still friends with my best friend after all.

There's a Pathfinder thing at the board game cafe near me which I kind of want to go to but I'm worried they'd all be awful nerds

I don't have any fuck buddies and I'm not sure if it'd even be for me. For some reason, and perhaps ironically since I'm a guy, I have trouble decoupling sex and emotion. I could do the fuck buddy thing, think it went great, and then later be hurt when she doesn't want to do it again or goes out with another guy or whatever.
