So my usual split fiction buddy is in absentia at the moment BUT I am feeling gamey. It's free, and cross play, you just have to download the 70gb or so partner game. Will require voice for the puzzles though

Edit Sorry people, missed today, going to bed I think, but still drop a line if you're interested in the future!

The farther you scroll, the more laggy and freezey it gets. Really really quickly (like after 5 minutes of scrolling), I get a "couldn't retrieve posts API error" and it's so laggy it's about .5 fps

There was this one mom and pop burger joint that had the simplest, most basic, super greasiest burgers but to this day they were the best burgers I've ever tasted. The place was tucked away in an alley and it was one of those "you have to be a local to even know this exists" places.

Also, having moved from a smaller town to a bigger city, I miss how close everything and everyone was. You wanted to go see someone, or go do something, it was always just a walk away instead of having to deal with all the hullabaloo of traffic and bus lines and yada yada.

Sorry if this is the wrong place. I have an LCD TV that got a strange single few inch line of light burn in randomly a few years ago. The thing is, the burn in has....migrated? It's like a good foot and a half lower than where it originally burned in. And it's changed angle. There's a small darker spot where it used to be, even. What's going on? If I give my tv another 10 years will the burn in migrate off screen like it seems to be doing?

Flooded screen with white, looks like this. Top darker spot is where it was at first.

Braggadociosness and bravado encouraged

Cheers to everybody watching horror movies. Share your relationship horror stories here. Or just horror stories in general. I can dig some Dracula

I'm inebriated and trying to drum up some activity and brotherhood here so I'm taking the easy route out. Also I made this so I can post what I want lol.

Personally one of my favorite games is FFX, for an unconventional reason. My older brother recorded his whole playthrough on VHS for me to watch as a younger one when he was away at college and that really stuck with me as a demonstrable, physical, "this person is your family and cares about you and will always have your back" thing. I mean the game itself is also one of my favorite FFs, but I think that's really why it cements itself in my memory. Family.

I have a good one, just popped back into my head and inspired this. We were watching a movie where a wife cheated on her husband and I say "Damn, what a horrible person". And she just loses it, going off on how "that's such a misogynistic thing to say" "how do you know what SHE was going through" etc. I tried to laugh it off because she was hot and it was early in the relationship and I'm stupid but I'll give you one guess why that particular relationship ended lol.

Anyone else have some relationship red flags, major or subtle, that just made you want to go back and slap your past self?

First off, has been a while, hello to everyone still here. I've had some personal problems lately (I have been curled up in a ball waiting for the world to end) but I'm here. I'd like to say the recent right wing shooting of a right wing figure by a right wing extremist is something we in no way condone (for legal purposes). Killing fascists is something my grandfather fought and died for yes, but...

Anyway. Recently got some what would be disturbing texts from my ex fiance telling me to kill myself about 30-40 times in a row before I blocked the number again. I'm not sure what prompted it. I know she's schizophrenic so probably just "forgot" to take her meds again. She's really not doing well from what I can gather and the fact that I am, pissed her off, still, years after she cheated on me. It's some nice karma, I have to be honest, I derive no small pleasure in knowing the cheating ass is miserable. And I'm scared for my family with all the recent governmental shit. But I have managed to keep the alcohol consumption down a lot so woo

I know this is a dead sub now but I hope if anyone ever needs a place to talk, I hope they'll still think of this. Thank you all for taking the time to read this little update thing.

Also scrolled far enough to see this on my front page! Much love to the people here <3

I did not even expect to hit 10 subscribers total to be honest. I hope this community can be a helpful and positive experience for everyone. I know I have felt alone at so many times in my life and felt I had no one to turn to. I have been SO lucky to have a wonderful brother without who I probably wouldn't be alive today. But I know some people aren't lucky enough to have that support. And it's clear so many men feel this way too in this world, and they end up finding role models wherever they can.

Unfortunately they have been in some horrible people lately. I started this with the idea of people just coming together for a common cause - to have a space to talk about the sensitive topics that many may not want to or cannot talk about with their real life people, to get perspectives and support from other people who have been in similar situations, and to hopefully make life a little less shitty for everyone in the process. Thank you everyone for being willing to take part in this with me, and to hopefully create our own little family with better advice and role models than the Internet currently offers.

If anyone has any questions for me or just want someone to talk to one on one, please please feel free to reach out!
