This thread moves at lightning speed at the moment! :D

Yes it is, but I never denied it... That's why I said "in my eyes" :)

I still buy games for the N64 and I fire it up every year during the fall/winter season to play all the classics (Banjo-Kazooie, Majora's Mask, Perfect Dark, Resident Evil 2...). Actually, I'm gonna dust it off pretty soon as I'm writing those lines.

I know the N64 is pretty much hated on around here, with people repeating endlessly that all it's games haven't aged well at all but... I don't care!
Not "hating" on the console. I just can't stand low framerate. That's why I played Pokemon without 3D and skipped a lot of supposedly great games. At the time though it was a good console to have, on par with the PS1, maybe even better.

I hope nobody thinks less of me for having said that*. 😪

My heavily-eroded gums and family history of kidney disease agree with this.
Water just feels so good when you drink it tbh

I know, it's almost 100 pages already guys. Chill.
I love the N64 although PS1 introduced me to gaming.

From what I gather on here a lot of you like the "needs to eat a sandwich" and the hypster hair style, cool stuff, just my observation!

Whoa there. That's a bit harsh. Just because a guy doesn't have muscles all over or no neck doesn't mean he needs to "eat a sandwich". I myself prefer a lean almost swimmers build on a guy. Doesn't make them skinny.


Uck...water is flavorless. I want a root beer now.

I think I just managed to write the biggest piece of sugar-coated horseshit in my life.

If it gets me a job I can't complain though.

Mass (including body fat) arouses me more than definition does.

Of course if I don't like their face it's going to fall a bit flat either way.

I forget what other drinks taste like.

You clearly haven't tried F-Zero X. Smooth 60fps racing.

Tech wise Perfect Dark featured lightning effects like rooms lighted up by your weapon. PS1 was the ugly duckling for me without texture filtering which made 3D look like a hack.

It's alright, I have the chance to not be affected by low frame rate or such graphics details, so I can still enjoy game that were no technical wonder even by the time of their release!

But if you can't then that's okay. There's plenty of systems for everyone to be happy with :)

Pretty cool of you to be so accepting of my opinion. Appreciate it. 😉

Oh, and please don't let me forget to play some Fantasy Life with you in the coming days, whenever you have time. 😊

Yes, sure thing! :D

hnnng... DAT ASS!!!!!!!!!

what? where?

It was all worth it.

Absolutely, that "fuck you" was soooo good (and well-deserved). Couldn't have said it better!

Welcome back by the way!
 
I'm hungry but I want to do anything but cook. Had beef last night AND for lunch today because I forgot that beef is what I still had around the house to cook with. :(

Cool! 😎

Could need some help with some resources I can't really get (since I'm a tailor with a darn dagger and a bit above Level 10)

You should switch to the archer life! I started out as a tailor too and I quickly got bored, but archery is really cool, can't get enough of killing monsters with my bow.

Fishing and mining are fun too. Those are my favorite careers!

Hey guys, been awhile since I posted here, but just wanting to say something in that it was interesting to me lol.

Without going into details of why this is new to me and whatever, I think I basically was cruised hardcore today at the gym lol. I mean, I always check out guys but I've always been afraid so never smile or anything so I doubt even if they were interested they'd know...anyway today I was doing a plank and see a guy and he seems to be staring, but goes away, but then I see him again. I try to make eye contact each time I see him. Then he leaves.

So, I finish up the plank and walk back to the lockerroom and he's on a bench facing me so I quickly make eye contact (too long my social anxiety kicks in) and crack a smile since that seems to be the secret. Well, I can tell he is following me back to the lockerroom. At this point I feel like either I am the unluckiest person and getting my hopes up or he's the most obvious at this (which is fine because you basically have to beat these things into my head).

Well then I am getting changed and he is essentially staying in the other section a long time until I am putting on my shoes while he stands there. Again, I am an idiot and really ideally should have at least said hi but I had never done this before and again it's a long story. Well, I change and start heading to the pool area for hot tub/sauna. That's when he follows me again and finally stops me and says I look familiar. I'm a nervous wreck at this point, probably shaking, and definitely probably turning red. At that point we talk a bit and go to the sauna and talk some more (no this isn't a bath house so nothing happened).

...And I basically am going to end this very anticlimactically because we basically walk out and my car is right there so I just have to stop an say well...my car's right there and he just says ok I'm just going to go home. I gave him my number, but he hasn't texted yet. I was super nervous and feel like I missed an opportunity. I guess I always wait for the other person to make the moves, do most of the flirting (aside from maybe making eye contact first), so I guess I would have expected him to tell me I could come over. However, I also could have led into that and just pretended I was joking but didn't make that move. Lame on both sides.

Well hopefully this wasn't too boring...I usually hang out at reddit, but noticed there doesn't seem to be a general thread in the gay subs I follow and just kinda wanted to mention it. Even if nothing happened out of it I feel a little more confident now...even when I was walking to the shower someone else made eye contact (several times), which never happens and I think my confidence in already having talked to the other guy helped that so I'm expecting good things in the future (maybe). We shall see lol. This one was still a classic fuck up by me though haha.

Well, it's good it gave you a bit more confidence even if nothing happened. Hope he texts you!

I clearly need to start going to a gym instead of working out at home! :p

If the gym is really like a gay porn waiting to happen I need to go as well (to observe, not to workout, I don't workout)
 
I seriously don't understand guys. That guy I had a great time with on Sunday, who said he really wanted to get to know me better, hasn't really been showing interest at all. I mean I've texted him everyday since then. First on Monday afternoon. We chatted a bit through the day. Then yesterday, I texted him again, this time at the end of the day. I was waiting for him to text me but gave in since he didn't. He answered, we talked a bit about our days and before he went to bed he said: "can't wait to see you again".

Then fucking text me!!!! It would be a step in the right direction. Once again, I was waiting to see if he would write today. I gave in at around 6/7 pm, mostly because it's the first day since then I've gotten out of work "early" and maybe we could see each other or something. No answer til now. I know he's been working a lot, maybe that's it. Maybe he's weird. It's just that he's shown so much interest in me, at least with what he says but at the end of the day he doesn't do anything.

So I guess I'll just wait now. I wish he just hadn't said anything. Now I feel kind of pushy but I just wanted to show him that I'm interested in getting to know him as well.

The guy you hooked up with? He doesn't owe you anything to have the hook up be anything more.

I know it's hard to not be emotionally attached. But you have to stop being attached with someone after a date or after a hook up. You need to protect yourself and treat each date, each hook up, each encounter as it was and not project what you want to come of it.
 
Do you know if he's out? Maybe he isn't and is nervous.
No clue, but maybe your onto something.

I know I do this a lot and no, he doesn't owe me anything. Just don't lead me on if you're not interested in anything else. I wasn't actually expecting anything when I decided to go, you know I was even dating that other guy. And then he's like: I really, really like you. We have to do something during the week. We have to keep seeing each other...

Then drop it and let him pick it up if he wants to. Let it be out of your hands.
You've already given him enough indication your interested in continuing.

People tell you what you want to hear. A part of him probably meant it, but not enough that the sentiment didn't evaporate once he looked at it in a different light. This is normal, and a part of human nature, I'm a people pleaser and when I'm faced with someone I'll be more agreeable than I would be when I'm away from them, and it all feels genuine to me. A part of navigating the minefield of human BS is gauging just how honest or enthusiastic someone is behind all the words they say, even if on some level they seem or are at least partially genuine. People aren't just going to suddenly change or abide by what they 'should' do, especially if they're cowards, so instead of getting upset with him a more productive use of your time might be seeing how you can make it so you're not a part of that game anymore.

Yeah. Victor, I really think should go back and read your old posts, to see how often this happens with you. You get SUPER attached from, like, the very beginning.

I know I do, when I like someone. That's why it's a hundred times harder when they act like they're so into you.

Victor while the dude is showing interest I think you're showing way too much eagerness from the get go, that's a big turn off for a lot people (straight or gay). You need to take a much more laid back approach to your dating.

Also not everyone is into texting a lot early on.

You and me both bud. Sorry that's happened. I met a guy on CR recently who lived in my state and everything. Beautiful, he was very flirty but had a BF but we exchanged numbers he texted me a bit but when he was at a party but just abruptly stopped and haven't heard from him again. It's definitely hard. Being a virgin I think keeps my confidence low and fears up and I think I was too open to him and insecure during our second convo. It's a tough lesson for me since I do get attached super easy and I randomly was able to chat with someone REALLY hot from my area and of course it has to be a failure! Hang in there!

Ha I admit half the fun for me now is just being in the locker room and getting to see some of the fit guys walking around naked. Jesus.

I wouldn't say it's quite like gay porn, but there are actually a lot of older (obvious) creeps too. While I stare prob once and move on I see the same guys basically hanging in the locker room the entire time. They're so obvious it's not even funny. Don't be them aha.

But this is day 2 of my attempts to be a little less subtle when checking someone out and both days I've had looks but haven't sealed the deal so to speak. That needs to change! I'd say the gym is a meat market at this point where I'm at. No complaints lol.

Nah, I like the Tailor Life so far. 😊
I'm Apprentice still at the moment but already got lots of clothes that I can make.
