Time to go out for a bit....if Rayman Origins ever finishes up, could I perhaps trouble somebody to keep an eye on The Raven for me? Been waiting for that one through the never-ending second round... :/

Well thanks for sharing :) It has taken me a long time to even remotely begin to understand myself and my patterns of behaviour, and by doing so it has made it a lot easier for me to understand and interact with others. I have come to realise that as much as I enjoy social interaction, I really need my "me time" to process life and to try to be a bit more balanced. My partner suffers greatly from anxiety at times but has gotten a lot better with it. I find a combination of brief interactions with strangers to generally be a good thing for me, close but sparse interactions with people I trust also to be good, and I am prone to overdoing it when in manic phases, hence my need for a home space that I have control over. I too do not do well with conflict, especially in my home, even though I am often the instigator of it. Hence I am looking to move with just myself and partner (we live with her father) and in the meantime I'm going camping when I heal from a recent infection+allergic reaction to get some much needed solitude and time to practise my survival skills and get inspiration and research for my creative works :)

Ever tried setting up dual-booting into windows? I was considering a Mac for a while and that's what I'd do.
Edit: Though of course that means you'd still have to buy Windows, though.

I find it easier to use a glass. :P

Bonus points for the laugh thanks ;)

Double Insomnia speed right now...

Holy crap, thinking about it, I guess I'm out of touch with modern gaming - my original statement was based on practically nothing.

Way to make myself out to be a total arrogant prick. I'm not I promise.

I sincerely apologize.

Cheers for girl gamers!

What time is this supposed to end? I'm Pacific time, but I'm sure it won't end in 1 1/2 hours... right?

Pls, I need Undying or TIE Fighter to pop up again :(

Seeing as Rayman's been Keaning for awhile now, and Worms 2 is selling slowly, I think I shall call it a night. I will likely miss Gex and/or Nox, but that's ultimately for the best, as I've spent a fair amount of money during the sale. Money I should be saving to survive on my own away from my family or going back to college. Preferably both.

G'night, everybody!

I've thought of dual booting or buying a cheapish PC laptop but thought a Wrapper would be easiest if they are "Drag and Drop" since I don't want to have to fiddle with stuff DOS style...

It doesn't really matter as you will swap to another account but this one you are using will be recognised :)

GEX was fun on PS1 and Nox I was slightly disappointed by but hope you can catch em both :)

I'd like to know too, seems that Seasoned should be finished long before Fresh.

Oh god, yes. The "OMG UR A GURL??!" is a reaction I've had, too; I can't count how many times someone in WoW has said, "Oh, you're really a girl, not just playing a female [race]?" *facepalm* You should see their confusion when I'm playing a male character! I make my characters based on what looks interesting to me - sometimes that's something that's attractive, sometimes it's not, sometimes it's female, sometimes it's male. I'll admit to a large bias toward female toons in WoW because I'm not that fond of their male designs, but that's actually a rarity for me. Usually it's more of an even split. That carries over to my RL role-playing too, on those rare occasions anymore that I get to participate in an RPG group.

I'll avoid the whole "privilege" conversation that I can feel brewing in my mind. Been there, done that, it's usually a messy thing and I don't feel up to it tonight. Suffice to say that, yes, I'd say you get it, having seen something of what it's like from 'my' side, too. :)

I actually like well-done romcoms... but those are very rare these days. I also like a well-done drama... but my go-to movies for background noise, random fits of being bored, or "what looks good at the theater" are generally action-oriented things. My husband got me into martial arts movies (he was nearly a black belt in kajikenbo (which I know I just spelled wrong) when he was younger), and I fell in love. I also blame him for my love of Godzilla flicks and their cousins. I grew up with two uncles who taught martial arts when I was much, much younger, so I know just little enough to catch a lot of the humor in filmed fights. Similarly, when the husband and friends got into backyard wrestling some years back, with another friend who'd gone to a wrestling school, I learned enough to appreciate the very hard work that pro wrestlers put in while still being able to laugh (sometimes a LOT) at the moves on tv. It doen't make me like watching pro wrestling any less, though it can sometimes be a challenge to set the knowledge aside and just 'be a mark' for the few hours it lasts.

Speaking of emotional tales... have you ever seen the film Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence? It's about POWs during WWII and is a decidedly not-happy drama that I can only watch ever so often, but it is a marvelous movie.

And my, I can blabber on. Apologies to those in the thread whom I've just bored to death! :)
