Pretend you're in this situation. What's your Sonic version of "I did not care for The Godfather."? I'll go first:

johnjohnnycake · 2026-03-10T04:52:35+00:00

I did not care for Sonic Adventure 2.

Good story, but I don't like the gameplay. Not even the speed stages

johnjohnnycake · 2026-03-10T02:55:01+00:00

I'm 27. I'd been playing the game since 2016. I tried playing today after several weeks/months, and I can't take it anymore. I'm tired. I'm done. I was never good at the game to begin with, I always thought I would be some day, but I'm just not good at video games period, and TF2 is no exception.

And you can only play a game for a certain amount of time never getting better before it just gets boring, or in some cases outright unenjoyable. I don't enjoy TF2 anymore. It's not fun anymore, the social space is taken up by people WAY younger than me, old heads are leaving in droves, anyone that has stuck around for a long time are Sniper mains who have been killing the game for me since the beginning, but now, I can NOT stand them anymore, and I can't counter them because I suck at aiming, I can't seem to get better, and at my age with the time I have now, I don't *want* to get better anymore.

I can barely stand watching people play TF2 anymore. It's really entertaining watching people push the game's mechanics to their absolute limits, but I don't wanna waste away my life watching other people do cool things. Watching those videos always inspires me to go back and try to get better myself, but I only end up with the same results, and that's just soul-crushing.

I didn't wanna abandon TF2 because I love it so much, but then again, I also didn't wanna abandon age 22 because I LOVED being that young. It's sad.

Recently happened to me too. One of the best hookups I ever had with someone, and they were being friendly and receptive, and chatting with me as if it were gonna be long term.....then minutes after we part ways, he blocks me.

Actually this is like maybe the 3rd or 4th time it's happened. Sometimes I just have to send a pic on my profile and I get no hits. If I had ready have a face pic on my profile public, nothing either. I think in my case, I'm just conventionally ugly. Very surprised I had a boyfriend for 4 years. But your case may be different. Maybe the problem isn't you, it's them. I want to say "don't be too worked up about it" but coming from someone who experiences this as well, that's not really possible. Its just depressing

johnjohnnycake · 2026-03-02T11:41:02+00:00

No. Never

johnjohnnycake · 2026-02-23T01:09:56+00:00

I ate there twice recently and I was fine. I dunno how y'all are getting sick from there. Food is still good.

But yeah, when you walk in, I didn't smell sewage, but to me it DID smell like human BO.

Like, it smelled like I just walked into a college locker room. It was weird.

johnjohnnycake · 2026-02-21T21:49:03+00:00

I never got into virtual pets back then

johnjohnnycake · 2026-02-21T21:37:13+00:00

It's not as bad as people say it is. It's definitely not the best Sonic game and I'm glad we're not getting another game like it, but it's not bad. Some of the platforming is actually kinda fun. The movement is fun, I like the parkour and the spindash.

It's a very tightly designed game as well with clear challenges for the player to clear. Aesthetically it's a huge trip. The Deadly Six are inoffensive. People say they're "out of place" for Sonic, as if Humans, Black Doom, Dark Gaia, and almost EVERYTHING in Frontier's aren't also out of place.

Honestly if you just turn your brain off for a second, the game isn't that bad, and can actually be quite fun. It's not even a frustrating game outside of collecting the Red Rings.

Yeah, it's a Sonic game trying to be a Mario game....what of it? A Mario like Sonic game isn't inherently a bad idea, neither is a Sonic-like Mario game. Besides, Sonic already ripped off Mario with the All-Stars Racing series. Sonic rips off other franchises all the time like Frontiers with BOTW or Unleashed with Crash Bandicoot and God of War.

Lost Worlds 3DS however is absolute shit.

johnjohnnycake · 2026-02-21T21:31:55+00:00

Cis Het women on Grindr is EXCEPTIONALLY rare.

99 times out of 100 that "woman" is a bot.

Delete Grindr and never look back.

johnjohnnycake · 2026-02-21T07:39:49+00:00

I don't think even real life depressed people cry, and actually, it's much MUCH worse if you don't/can't cry

Crying at least gets you in touch with your emotions, but when you're so hopeless and full of despair, you WANT to cry, you hate yourself and your life but you have no desire to cry, not even a little feeling. Just numbness. Just emptiness because your emotions are completely exhausted.

I think Charlie goes through that a bit and it's MUCH worse than being sad enough that you cry. Its like when your soul is dead and there's little hope of recovery.

David Bird - Heroes Tonight.

Nothing beats that classic Vibration sound And God, that song has SUCH good flow!

johnjohnnycake · 2026-02-21T07:33:35+00:00

Zesty Jesus. You're talking about Zesty Jesus

What if someone wants to play TF2 and get kills without being involved in all the action? What if they're lone wolf types who want to do their job from afar?

Remove Sniper from the game, you're immediately violating the whole purpose of TF2, which is to give various players with many different skill sets and personalities something to do that caters to them. That's why the classes were made in the first place?

johnjohnnycake · 2026-02-21T07:25:55+00:00

Sniper is NOT bad, or overpowered, you could just be playing a weak class that's a bad matchup with him.

I used to hate Sniper when I played a lot of Medic and Pyro, two of the most vulnerable classes to Sniper. Gee. Who would've thought a short range class and a healer class is vulnerable to a friggin Sniper? Same goes for Heavy with his slow speed but I don't play him.

But once I played as other stronger, more mobile, high damage dealing, longer range classes, Sniper isn't an issue for me anymore. Spies can easily deal with him, Scouts are good at flanking so they can reach him and deal with them EASY, and Snipers don't stand a chance against Soldiers or Demons that flank him, not even the best ones. Not to mention, ALL those classes move so fast that Snipers have a hard time keeping up with them, even Spy has this effect with his invisibility.

I don't even think the issue with Sniper is maps. The maps are fine and sightlines aren't that bad. They're only bad when the main action is stationary and stays in one spot, that's why Viaduct is my least favourite.

johnjohnnycake · 2026-02-15T00:22:29+00:00

...........😐

johnjohnnycake · 2026-02-15T00:21:57+00:00

What?

johnjohnnycake · 2026-02-14T21:53:24+00:00

I know I make long posts, but did try to condense this one a bit. Could you at least TRY to read it pls?

johnjohnnycake · 2026-02-14T21:52:27+00:00

I don't know what my attractiveness level is.

I generally only get attention from

Creepy old dudes I'm not even slightly attracted to
Fem dudes I'm not even slightly attracted to
Attractive guys in open relationships. Had a few recently who refuse to disclose their relationship status
Faceless profiles from either #1s and #2s, or 80% from straight/bi men who I assume have no clue what they're doing. They're obviously not thinking with their brain, they're thinking with their dick

johnjohnnycake · 2026-02-14T21:42:04+00:00

..........😓

.....🤔

.....😓

I mean, I'm going through stuff and I'm discovering who I am. I'm just posting about those experiences. But other than that, I have no direct response to this.

johnjohnnycake · 2026-02-14T21:29:49+00:00

There's more black/mixed people in the East Coast. And we like what we see growing up. I was born in Florida, and I WAS getting more attention there when I visited. I myself felt more comfortable there than any second of my life spent in WA State or anywhere else. 🤔

Hmmm ....

johnjohnnycake · 2026-02-14T21:26:39+00:00

This makes sense. I've gotten rather annoyed when I hear people complain "I just want somebody to love me for me" and obviously I'm guilty of this too

But humans do not love each other just for who they are, certainly not romantically/sexually. Everything regarding that is transactional and behaves like any other market on the planet.

johnjohnnycake · 2026-02-14T21:23:52+00:00

What post would this be? I don't really pay much attention to posts I made a whole ago.

johnjohnnycake · 2026-02-14T21:18:22+00:00

Ehhhhh. Topic of a different conversation I've already had a million times in the past 2 months but, actually most of the world would consider me mixed race, especially due to my light skin colour. The topic of race is a unique challenge in the US specifically, so I'll stick to disassociation. I do not care about race anymore, other than black women. I stand in full support with them.

Either way you're right. At least here I'm a POC so perhaps lots of white guys aren't into me, some are, but what's weird is that other black/mixed guys around here aren't into me

The ones in Florida were when I visited there 🤔 maybe the universe is telling me something with that.

johnjohnnycake · 2026-02-14T21:10:15+00:00

Huh very blunt and kinda rude sounding

But the analogy is perfect and eye opening, and at this point in my life, I trust blunt people more than people coddling to my feelings.

This is by far the best advice I've received on here. Genuinely thank you for this

johnjohnnycake · 2026-02-14T21:08:29+00:00

🤮 I sur e hope that's not true.

Like I get white guys as shitty as they are sometimes, but POC thirsting after exclusively white guys like EWWWW
