No joke. I used to work Tech Support and we would be forced to schedule callbacks for BlackBerry devices. The most locked down shit I've ever seen. The level of locked in would make a Nintendo Executive blush. Thankfully BlackBerry was on the way out in that time

No I do not want that.

I'm always super hesitant to comment on stuff like this because I don't want to be lumped in with the fascists but I'm going to break that rule just this once. When people hear "Male Loneliness Epidemic", it means different things to different people. It appears to me as most left leaning people hear, "I don't have a woman that caters to me and my needs". For myself it means, "I don't have a Support System of friends and family to lean on." A partner would be great but I would get far greater satisfaction in gaining a group of friends or a sense of belonging. Paired with likely Autism and ADHD, things aren't super rad for me on any aspect of life. That's all my own stuff to deal with though.

The takeaway is I hope anyone reading this is doing okay, regardless of gender. I may not get the struggles of your life, but I hope you are overcoming them.

Well... Can't get one of those now. :(

The FOSS community doesn't need this kind of mentality. "Us reasonable users" really tells what you think about people with different lifestyles to your own. Quit being weird and fracturing the FOSS community. The Corpos don't need the help

Hoenn is my favorite region. Emerald is my nostalgia game. What you say is fair and valid. Early game movesets don't feel good at all. If it's within your means, I would suggest trying Omega Ruby / Alpha Sapphire. It feels much better to play through. If you never want to see Hoenn again, then no shame in that. :)

I'm on a slow run through all the games. SoulSilver definitely is hitting

For me personally, it's a combination of factors. A non zero number of my exes lost interest after a while and it damaged my ego pretty badly. Dating Apps are a string of getting ghosted with the occasional date that leads to me paying for drinks and dinner, only to get ghosted. I've always been a shy person and I can only handle so much failure before I don't want to play anymore. I missed out on the high school and college dating scenes and it shows. There is one common denominator in all of my dating failures and it's me.

I yearn for the day when violence isn't a fundamental part of the human soul. Whatever political ideology leads to this, it can't be worth it can it?

Thanks for that comparison :(

Can't have my group chats leaked if I don't have any!

Infernal Resurrection is the best album art and I will not be taking questions.

Absolutely adore all of their albums though. Going to have to spin Serpents Unleashed tonight!
