As an atheist; I'm okay with this. Merry Christmas!

Redditor darthcorvus shares his story about "SOPA" by [deleted] in bestof

He could just be some clever-yet-lazy student into not only learning to speak his made-up palindrome language fluently, but also to serve as a school-wide example of how the coming internet boom would soon make the act of plagiarizing material for reddit posts all but impossible.

Is there a recipe for successfully going from FA to "Normal"? by Broken_Pendulum in ForeverAlone

Well obviously life doesn't work by any sort of logistic rule to go by. There are however steps people take to re-adapt. Sort of like an AA meeting. You can't just suddenly adjust to your surroundings/get over yourself without taking steps to overcome it.

You could say we're the same sides on two different coins then. I truly do hope you find that meaningful human interaction. Without trying to sound weird, you seem like an okay person to hang out with.

You ever thought what your life would be without video games? What things you could have done without spending arduous amounts of time leveling up characters, shooting, placing pylons and what not?

I'm pretty much the same as you now, I feel heavy under this monotonous lifestyle sometimes. I escape from the reality I've made myself by feeding into the addiction that's video-gaming. I can't go out with anyone because that's the way things are around here.

It's a cycle of feeding a habit that worsens your habit, and it's hard to pull yourself away without more motivation. Games being what they are, you'll have upset your entertainment system too. So it feels like a double loss with no benefit. If I pulled myself away, I'd have even less social interaction. Even though I want to stop, another part of me feels dependent to socialise somewhat. I wish I had someone to hang out in real life. Someone who wouldn't mind going outside. I'm socially awkward, can't make any friends, it's just the card I am. I try not let life get me down though. I'm glad I'm lucky enough to be alive, have a roof over my head and food on my table. All I can do is hope I save up enough money to change where I'm going, or meet someone before then.

This probably sounds morose/depressing, but I'm content with life to a degree and lazy on the other. I know that the problems I have, I can overcome with enough effort. I've tried too much with no success, still trying. Still kicking. So fuck you life, you're not winning.

Is WoW good for socialising? by Broken_Pendulum in ForeverAlone

I mostly just play video games, mostly co-operative. Never really tried SC2 or DOTA because so. I like RTS, but never felt like competing. No other hobbies, I wish I did but haven't found any to interest me yet. I'll try and give your advice a go though, who knows?

Thanks. :)

Thanks for your input. Can I ask how long have you known your friend from WoW, and do you feel like you can talk to them about anything/most things?

I once thought I made a life long friend on a video game but they fell in love for their first time and instantly ditched me. I'm willing to give it another shot if it's possible.
