For the older posters here, you know the drill. No struggle sessions, keep it nice.
For the newer folks, hi! I'm Corgi! I made these threads from time to time to see if everyone is doing OK. Got something cool you wanna talk about? Need an ear for venting? This is your space! Just be nice, this isn't the thread for arguments.
I made a down payment for next year's wedding recently, and I've been having a BLAST with the Retroid 3+. I've been going to the bar with the pup the last few days and just sitting with a pint and playing MVC2, Twisted Metal Black, Smash, and Mario. Met another Hexbear IRL recently, that was nice!
Hope everyone is doing well! Remember, you are loved 
When I left school and couldn't afford university, my closest family/friends just left/got really busy all at once, and suddenly it was me. It took about 8 years before I felt able to form meaningful friendships again. I'm sure you'll do better than that, but, not a fun time, however long.
You've been a cool-seeming person everywhere on this site I've seen ye, so I'll second the offer of a casual chat sometime if fancied.
If you ever want casual chat, my inbox is open, as are the ones of many here, im sure!
