Glad that you are getting therapy. Never feel guilty for taking care of yourself above anything else.

Only ever played Origins and loved it when it came out. I hear that Inquisition was really good, but haven’t gotten around to playing it. I’m still in the middle of like four other RPGs that I am enjoying (Pillars of Eternity is one of the RPGs I am really enjoying but I stalled after trying to get the fortress fully…

Recently got into FFXIV and it’s fairly decent? That might just be because I know other people who play it though. Who knows!

Naw, running a game can be stressful, especially in holiday times. As long as you have a good excuse, I understand completely. The game that I was running is currently in permanent hiatus due to scheduling conflicts. Which makes me sad. I had some interesting ideas at play in the game.

MMOs are fun and all, but they never really capture the storytelling experience of a great group. But whatever. I’m sure eventually something will either fall into my lap or I will attempt to start a game through a forum or email again.

I am sorry your gaming group can’t meet! That is always an unfortunate surprise. I have been really wanting a solid gaming group again, but I usually prefer gaming through the internet, and everyone I know has either not been wanting/been unable to make a weekly game so I’ve been just sad.

I ride a bike to work, so I have been dying every day since it started snowing. And I only live in Idaho.

Too late. We’ve all come down with the festering illness.

Poor me that I can’t ignore the problems currently facing us?

The whole world is a locker room if you really think about it. And it’s not like they can control themselves; they are evolutionally required to be that way. It’s just science.

Unless you are thinking about Christianity. Government has no place deciding that for Christians.

Sadly, I feel the Baby Boomers are the last generation that will have that luxury.

You think that leather is less important than women to these chucklefucks?

They might have allowed people to pee in peace!

Just now?

I really wish that I had the ability to speak to Obama before or shortly after he leaves office. He restored a lot of dignity to the office of the Presidency and gave us a head of state that, even if we didn’t agree with his policies 100% of the time, we could respect. He gave me even the smallest shred of faith in…

I’ve known I was asexual for as long as I can remember, so in a way it’s kind of relaxing to be able to admit that, yeah, I really do just want to have a bed to myself and spend all of my time not at home with myself hanging out with close friends playing games.

Aside from all of the usual shit this year, I’ve been worrying again about whether my emotional distance is symptomatic of something worse. Like, what if I’m not just asexual and aromantic, but legitimately just antisocial and never realized because my tightly-formed ball of anxiety and depression keeps me on my toes…
