Is it weird that I feel more upset because a GAFer just died than my neighbour a few weeks ago? A person for whom I have exchanged at most two hundred words?

Damnit, it should not be this hard to talk to a girl you like:
Wish I could be like some guys and just go for it.
Because you're thinking about everything that could go wrong and pretending she's way better than you instead of realizing she's just a person too and that if things went poorly it wouldn't be the end of the world.
I guess it depends on how well you knew your neighbor. With the amount of members GAF has, probably five or six die every day.
(172890 days is about five full life times, so that's what I'm basing my math on)
Not really no, i feel no connection to my neighbors at all, and I barely know any of you but I would be sadder to hear that you died than to hear that Kevin at number 22 died, fucking Kevin mowing his lawn at 7 am every saturday.

DrDrizzay. Don't know what other communities he was involved with (if any) but was a pillar of the community of Destiny players. Thread on gaming and the past 300 posts in the OT are remembrances.
Have lived here five years. He would occasionally give me a lift to work when I worked downtown. I generally don't feel much when people die, so reading everyone's reactions has been the most moving thing vs my neighbour, I think.
I love twinks too, but older hot men get me really hard. By older I mean older than me and until like 40yo. Fitting I'd say since my bf is 8 years older than me.
Though a nice twink ass is godlike too. Guess you can't have everything in life.
And I guess?! Gotta say he looks unbelievable hot in that lab coat heh
Well then you gotta work on it man. Having a nice ass is like very important!

You're right. It's all in mind. The only way to do it is to just fucking do it I guess.
Wow, RIP. So young, and such a rough way to go.

God, Cena's STF is so bad
Ouch. They promised so much in No Man's Sky but was only able to deliver on half, from what I can tell.
I had something similar to that when I bought The War Z, but that was significantly worse because that was basically unplayable in its released form. It was the only game that I asked for (and got) a refund on Steam.

That's what I've heard, but it still like right up my alley so I'll pick it up eventually. The dev lying doesn't make the game bad.

The dev lying doesn't make the game bad. The game not having anything new to offer past a couple hours in despite being heralded as an infinite experience is what makes the game bad. The first few hours are actually reasonably enjoyable. However, the stuff the dev lied about would have made the game much better.
Ooh, how is the new place? I helped move my sister into her college dorm yesterday, but she barely took anything with her so it was more just one last chance to hang out before school starts.

Aw, they grow up so fast D:

It's really lovely.
The apartment itself is nice enough and functional (it's a brand new apartment so there's no problems with it, super clean and roomy).
But the location itself is fucking amazing.
It's pretty much a 5 minute drive to everything (10 minutes to the Brisbane CBD). There's basically an entire shopping complex at the base of the apartment towers and a 2 minute walk to the Portside Restaurant district.
(This place is also on the Brisbane River)
I stole some photos from the apartment company's site but the pictures are PRETTY accurate
I'm really happy purely because where she was living before was a pretty bad area and had a breakin right after she came back from holidays, so seeing her anxiety tone down dramatically is a huge relief.
Tell them how Im the best babe 😘
NMS is a scam of unbelievable proportions. Snake oil salesman doesn't even fully describe the guy. He lied up and down about every aspect of the game and the very fabric of how the game works right up to release --- then be vanished from the public eye once people got the game and saw that if was all bullsbit
It's actually fascinating just how much this guy lied and misled. Was recapping and reflecting on it this morning.

I still would bang him tho. I blame the facial hair.
He actually looks bad without facial hair tho.

The game isn't bad but I was looking forward to some of the stuff that he lied about. I'm all in for space exploration. That aspect of the game looks and is amazing. But I was really excited about the idea of traveling with an allied faction fleet and getting into large scale space battles with other factions where frigates from either side would be jumping in from hyperspace to join the fight. That aspect of the game seems to have been significantly diminished in the final product that we got. It's not awful because of what isn't in it but it's nowhere near as good of a game as was promised because of what isn't in it.
As it is right now, I don't think I'd be willing to drop $60 on it. I'll either wait for a price drop or for more features to be added.

Anyone have long bouts of not wanting to socialize even though you've wanted to some time back? I don't want to be set in my old ways, but it feels like an inevitability and I have to accept it. My anxiety is flaring up again.
I'd like to add you guys should follow Chuck Tingle on Twitter. His feed is even better.

Do you think you could pinpoint what's causing your anxiety? Sometimes I don't want to go out or see certain groups of people when I'm feeling bad about myself for a certain reason or had a misunderstanding with someone in that group. Talking about my problems with my mentor and then doing my best to resolve the issue goes a long way in that regard.
But sometimes you just need to stay inside, and that's okay. Not everyone needs to socialize all the time.
Yeah, wait for a price drop and a lot more features to be patched in. They made their money, they should be able to fund a lot more development to actually flesh out the game.
Oh my God, location is sooo important! That sounds so great for her. Are you going to be able to spend a lot of time over there with her, or does dev stuff tie you down a lot?
And yeah, I'm pretty emotional about my sister moving out, but it's probably really good for her. I mean, I left college because it didn't have anything left to give me, but for her it's going to be a lot better since she's studying a more corporate field than I did. But more than just her leaving, it's forcing me to confront the fact that she's so much younger than me, which I try to ignore most of the time
Aw man that's really sad, RIP.
Was good man, just got back from hike with gf. Yesterday was posted about earlier.
Holy flipping fuck that place is nice. Congrats to her!

Yup
To be honest I don't really feel like socialising most of the time. Kind of. It's weird, like I'll go crazy if I don't talk to people, but a lot of the time it just feels like it takes so much effort that thinking about it makes me want to just hide in my room.

To me, socializing gives me the confidence I need to enjoy being alone xD
That sounds like a great deal tbh, but obviously it depends on what other places around the area are going for.
Yeah. My sister is looking for other options and 1 room was 619 so it wasnt worth it when for a bit more you could get 2 rooms. I shall be getting more news soon on the next hunt for apartments.
I'm devastated to learn of Chuck Tingle's Hugo loss. I was really pulling for him.
I'm still in Phoenix and I officially hate this fucking state man. I'm not used to this heat anymore. Spend 8 years of my life in Pitttsburgh and suddenly 100+ degree weather is intolerable.
Plus there was an apocalyptic dust storm today. WTF is even going on in this state?
At least I was able to get this swanky ass hotel room.

Ewww extroversion
Most of the tests put me right in the middle, or slightly on the introversion side.
Perhaps this is me projecting, but I think the same is true of most introverts just to a different degree. If you never socialized, being by yourself would eventually get lonely. You need to socialize a bit to feel loved and normal, and need to be by yourself to feel sane.
I'm probably projecting.
What is the full situation? I didn't know you were living with your sister too. Sharing rooms can be awkward, but hopefully everything else would make up for it.

Fucking weird match order though. Two main championships before the US championship? Women's championship before a 6-woman tag match? A non-title match as the main event?

100% of my life :c
I think you're right that its necessary but I don't think its for the reasons you mentioned. Helps getting momentum in doing stuff and perhaps most importantly helps with self awareness and perspective.

Making up for lost time. I spent so much of my 20s not socializing enough, not dating. With 30 fast approaching next year, I would love to have all my ducks in order and not feel like the odd person out. Unfortunately, it seems my weird depressive episodes wants to curb this as if some weird neurological change is happening to where as I am getting older, I have to be set in my ways.
Couple years back I had this strange fucking notion that I had to be 'on guard' with meeting new people because they'd find something about me and proceed to treat me differently. It stems from family treating me like I was stunted or something to that effect.

Oh no I havent moved out from Puerto Rico yet. My sister from Florida is looking up places for me so I can have somewhere to look when I get there. I dont plan staying with her. The current situation is that I will update my Social Security card, the birth certificate and whatever else I have to do before the end of Sept or early October. Also in September Im taking my parents to some Dr. appointments before leaving. I will make sure to keep people updated.
As for the moving when I go there I will go with my dad and he shall stay about 3-5 months with me while I get a job and settled. I hope I get something quick so he doesnt have to stay too long and get NotJobbs in my apartment tbh.
I don't think I've ever actually regretted socializing. I only ever regret not talking to more people when I do. It takes a while for me to loosen up and actually be social when I'm out.

I really think you need someone you can talk to about this. More than just me or whoever else is willing to talk to you online. Preferably a close friend, but maybe also a therapist or mentor.
The reason is because you need to realize that you don't have to be like everyone else. In some ways, yes, there are social niceties we all should observe, but that doesn't mean we all have to live the same life. But it's easy for me to say that because I don't really know you and the only thing we have in common is a video game forum, so of course I'm not advising a perfectly normal life. You need someone who knows you for you and supports you as you, as who you are and the best version of you that you can be. Someone you know who can be there for you. It's really really helpful to talk to people about issues, I promise!
Well why would you want momentum in doing stuff if not because doing stuff helps you feel normal and loved?
But yes, self awareness and perspective are also a huge part of it.
