I felt we needed a casual place for chatter about all kinds of life stuff. The uplifting, the sad, the exciting, the mundane, the philosophical and more importantly of all, the silly!

I lead a rather boring life, unfortunately. So there’s no much I’d say about myself other than that I’m severely agoraphobic and it tragically controls many aspects of my life more than I control it. I also have bad joint pain and probably need more dental visits but enough about me!


How about you? Anything interesting lately? College? Jobs? No jobs? Family? Games you finished? Stuff you bought? Idiots that annoy you? Idiots that don’t annoy you? What’s your spice tolerance?

Never mind that shit, here comes mongo!!!
 
Instead of facing my life responsibilities like a normal person I would devote that energy to short burst attempts at passion projects I clearly didn't had the required vision, skill and synergy for, over and over, with increasingly periods of inertia after each try.

Anyway, time to try a new passion project.

Hey, if it’s any consolation, I’ve fallen back on both drawing and writing. Hell, if I kept going with my passion hobbies, I’d literally start making games by now. I’ve wanted to delve really deep into RPGmaker, for example.
But Y’know, gotta take it slow. Maybe my issue though is…. Me? No don’t worry, nothing philosophical or metaphorical, I mean very literally just ME. As in, solo projects I can’t get done, but group projects? Easy as pie.

Maybe I just function better in groups? Perhaps you should try focusing on your strengths too. We are inherently flawed people so at can’t always focus on our weaknesses. Finding your strengths isn’t necessarily ego-boosting either and even if it is, a little ego isn’t gonna kill sometime.

Shit, I did get philosophical!
 
My life is pretty fruity I guess, at least compared to most people, let's see.... I'm slowly working on my "Knight Rider" project, and my Nendoroid Asuka is coming tomorrow, and next week I'm gonna meet up with a friend for pizza party, and then the week after I'm attempting a classic car vs train Top Gear challenge, if I'm still alive after that then I'm gonna make plans for next month too.

Oh wait, if I win this month's bet, which I'm sure I will, then I earned myself 1 free Chinese dinner.
 
I have been out of work for months due to a mental health crisis, however after two stays at a local mental hospital, I finally got on the right medication and I can actually function properly. With that being said, I have been asked to be the owner of a local coffee shop and run it. I start next Monday and I'm pretty nervous considering I've been out of management for a few months! I think I'll do great though! The future is bright.
 
I feel that 'constantly starting passion projects that never finish' energy, that's just my average day of writing really outside of the game articles. I have a lot of trouble either finding the motivation to finish things, or end up getting distracted thinking of something else that I then start working on. It's a vicious cycle.

My life's also pretty boring, I'm either writing or gaming or occasionally playing guitar really. I do play TTRPGs every Sunday with the same group of friends, we've been gaming together for I think like 14 years now? We're trying to make a mecha space exploration TTRPG together, which is something that I also always get distracted from working on. It's in a pretty good state right now though after years of testing at this point, the last work we did on it was writing the latest pass of the core rulebook file.

My personal life is not the best right now, but what can you do; I'm still alive.
 
I'm constantly looking for the next stimulating distraction to avoid the messy problem of my huge book collection. I think the problem is starting the reading when I have lots of other distractions except gaming which my book collection usually stops with how I have to move piles out of the way. Not even the idea of monetary gain from resale makes me hasten the task or make it easy to start despite no attachment to the titles
