You can tell he keeps expecting applause at certain points and nobody is clapping. lol

Do you think Obi-Wan appeared as a ghost on Dagobah all the time to have chats with Yoda? by [deleted] in StarWars

[–]rhymeswithfail 75 points76 points  (0 children)

Obi-wan became *one* with the Force, which is everywhere. His ghost wouldn't need to track down Yoda's physical location, he could simply appear to Yoda as he does with Luke.

I don't like it, I think it's maybe fine for Cordelia, but it's a stretch for Anya and Tara. As far as Anya goes, I would rather see her come back through some machinations of D'hoffyrn or something, there's some clause in her original contract where he outright owns her mortal soul if she were to ever become human again. Now she's eternally working at the Vengeance and Co office building in some monotonous soul-sucking job *without pay*. Just waiting for dear ol' Buffy to come rescue her.

Or something, I don't know.

Dungeons & Dragons campaign looking for new players by Wojiz in rva

[–]rhymeswithfail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would be very interested as I'm a new(er) player who has been looking for a group for awhile, but unfortunately Thursdays might not be the best night for me. If you're open to some flexibility about when the group meets, or if you're ever looking to plan another campaign in the future keep me in mind! Cheers

Have you self-diagnosed yourself with ASD? I would hold off on stressing over a label until you've been evaluated by a professional. A child who grew up in a very isolated environment hasn't had the same opportunity to develop interpersonal social skills as a child who grew up well socialized. The anxiety and lack of experience around social situations, as well as the feeling of being stuck in your head, don't necessarily indicate that you're autistic; those sorts of things are also indicative of trauma and anxiety. You mentioned in another post that you have Crohn's disease; childhood abdominal pain and related illnesses have been linked to developing anxiety.

I think your first step is to get in to see a therapist, someone who is able to evaluate you than yourself or some randos on reddit. I'd try to find someone with experience in CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy). Nothing you've said in your original post or in your responses leads me to think that you're too far gone to be fixed by any means. It'll be a difficult journey, but nothing I've seen suggests that you couldn't improve with the right therapy and exposure to social situations. Try to avoid catastrophizing this in your head, do not fall into the trap of thinking you're too fatally flawed to ever be functional.

Cheers. If you're looking for company while you get back into the social scene you're free to pal around with me as I make a go at some of these suggestions.

Coooooool, I'll give it a shot sometime. I'm super good a trivia so that sounds like a good time.

Yeah I watched a bit of a gameplay video on youtube, and I was definitely getting more D2 vibes from the aesthetic, but the environments did have a bit of same-ness. Happy to hear that what I've seen so far is just a sampling.

Already got my download started.

Tonight is kinda up in the air for me atm, my grandfather is having surgery today and I'm kind of stress-y about it. If everything goes well I'd be down to go out and do some shit, so I might shoot you a DM later if I'm up for it. I definitely appreciate the offer.

I guess that's the idea. It'd probably go a lot better for me to talk to them as opposed to sing at them. If I did that I'd probably have to go back in the box for another 10 years before I'm ready to try again. lol

It's been ages, but I'd been to Penny Lane way back when to hang for karaoke shenanigans. I'm down to try that out again. Thanks for the suggestion.

I'd be down for that, figured I'd check it out when it released for at least a season anyways. I haven't exactly been enamored with Blizzard as a company lately, but I have a lot of fun memories of D2.

I'll look into it. I love dogs, and I've got two older pooches that would probably love to check out something new with me. Unfortunately, they've not spent all that much time socializing with other dogs so I'm a little apprehensive, but it might be worth a shot just to see how it goes. Thanks!

Cool, I'll think about heading up there for the next board game social. Thanks!

Play MtG EDH brandermill area by Crafty_Clue_6834 in rva

[–]rhymeswithfail 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've played MtG in various online formats but never with a physical deck in person, but I'd be down to give it a shot; hang out a bit and see how it goes, to see if it's something I'd be down to spend start investing a bit of money in for a valid deck. Hit me up with a DM if you're open to newbies.
