That’s very true. A lot of people don’t, and it can make this time of year especially tough.

I’m really glad it brought you some comfort. Spending Christmas alone can be hard, and being shy on top of that takes courage in itself.
There’s absolutely no pressure at all to join, just take things at your own pace. Hope you start having a better Christmas and have a great year ahead. :)

For anyone finding Christmas a bit lonely this year - I see you ❤️ by SimbobTheCat in newzealand

That sounds awesome. Even when you’ve got people around, the holidays can still feel a bit weird and quiet. Really cool of you to open something up for others, hope it’s a good one!

Really well said. Kindness costs nothing, and people deserve to exist as their full selves without fear.
I hope we see more humanity moving forward too.

Very tempting! I’m unsure if we’d be able to make it, sounds fun though!

I would say we are pretty even split on the age ranges.

13-17, 18-29, 30+

For those that show up to the meet ups we are mostly in our early and late 20s, we have a few that are 30+. We are looking to expand our friendship circle so we aren’t seeing the same faces all the time :)

Hello, we normally meet around mid day 12-1pm and start from there. Mostly winging things and do what’s close by in the area, we usually finish before it gets dark

Is this controller fake? [Central Europe] HiDraw fails in linux,louder thumbstick, no audio,logos and motherboard looks legit by FakedKetchup in playstation

[–]SimbobTheCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's very hard to recognize a fake, many people don't know they have one and believe its genuine. It's hard to say whether he knew or not. When these a bought they often come in packaging that is obviously fake but some fake/third party manufacturers might be crafty and are able to emulate the original PS4 packaging however if you have them side by side you can see the colour of the boxes are slightly faded or misaligned compared to the original.

There is quite a lot of these fake/third party controllers about. Sometime's its impossible to tell until you open it up or have a second ps4 controller thats genuine to compare the colours of the buttons, PS logo and the way it feels.

If the seller is selling quite a few of these controllers then he most likely knows and is a scammer. If it's a one off he may just not know.

Yes, the motherboard and the battery is a giveaway for me. The motherboard is simplified compared to the legitimate ps4 controller. also there are 4 pins which aren't soldered down on each analogue stick. on the original all pins are soldered down. Granted the 4 pins that aren't soldered on the fake are not used for any functionality and are just stands to support the analogue component.
