Anyone else never go to a gay bar?
I don't know if such a place exists but I might go somewhere I could just drop into for lunch and a drink (that isn't out of the way if I'm in the city) and have a laid back chat with people I hadn't met. I don't see myself making a night of it, or going to a loud dance-centric place or anything.

I second this.
Did you play the original Alan Wake?
I'm sure there is such place where you live. Most bars open at like 6 pm and it is usually calm and chill I would imagine.
Look for bars that have a kitchen.

Same here. My anxiety is destroying me. I was in tears a bit ago over it. Everything OK?
Yeah, and American Nightmare. I loved Alan Wake and AN was OK at best

Everything could be worse I guess but it damn sure isn't fine either. My mood and anxiety is in the pits.
Sorry to hear about you though, are you better now?

Jesus guys and gals, everyone is down, are you guys ok? Maybe it's the new moon
I'm drunk and ready to go to a bear,"game of thrones" gay party, my expectations are low though.
Go and have fun, someone has to.

As for me, I constantly feel like shit so this is not new for me due to my depression but some days are worse than others.
Tbh Im drunk happy / horny wanting to bottom but not gonna happen cause I dont have my own place yet and no car and too drunk to function. I guess the other day anxiety attack was perhaps out of excitement maybe?
Also get into Saturday Night by Natalia Kills now known as Teddy Sinclair

I'm simply pacing the floor panicking. My anxiety gets out of control like something is deathly wrong and I can't figure it out. I've been tearing up over it.
Plus yesterday was one year since my ex and I have talked snd that was rough. I miss him every day.
If anyone needs to talk or vent, my inbox is open. Pretty sure my problem solving skills, and helping people is on point.

I was going to mention that I had a good day yesterday, but I thought it would've been a little insensitive.
I hope you all will do better soon. In meantime maybe some 80s remixes of contemporary songs will help:

I'm a cancer too, so that should tell you how worthwhile horoscopes are.
I feel the same way. But I think its because I haven't drank alcohol since yeaterday
On an unrelated note, Mickey and Ian on Shameless...god I love them as a couple. I'm up to season 2 now
There are 5 people here lol but fuck it, I'll make the most out of it
And of course that freaking Gretchen clip with Kate Perry is there, I came scape it D:

There's a place that opens at 2pm which is more my thing, honestly.
Yeah that's the type of thing I have in mind.

Who is Gretchen and why is she famous?
Gretchen is a very famous singer from Brazil, but her heydays were back in the 80s. After a rocky career she became very popular through memes and perry seized the opportunity to capitalize on that.

Waiting for hormone approval is honestly the worst. I feel like my body is getting worse by the day.
On-topic, anyone have any recommendations for 2017 games that did a good job with LGBTQIA+ representation? I can only think of Night in the Woods and Nier: Automata.

Yep but I go out so rarely that it's not a huge deal to me. I wouldn't have a clue where they'd be in Melbourne.

My fingers are crossed for your hormone approval!
The main player character in The Walking Dead: A New Frontier (Javier) is bisexual. I only found this out now when going looking for answers to your question.
That scene being referred to seems to be this... and it's disappointing but I like the comment from the writer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvPH0VeWdmg
Among a lot of scenes between him and Kate.
But more importantly!: The Tea Room, a game by Robert Yang (name your own price: https://radiatoryang.itch.io/the-tearoom) is notable. It's about cruising in a public toilet, in 1962 Mansfield, Ohio*. But it's about the fear of being caught, the risk and reward and not being sure who to trust. Consequences are big: you lose all your progress. Also the dicks are represented as flesh guns as a commentary on, and attempted evasion of, censorship.
*Check out this stuff that the game is based on (same year, same town, same subject):

The last few days have been pretty miserable for me as well, but next week should be busy enough to at least distract me, which is good.
I haven't really been to any places that could be described as gay bars either - unless you count ordinary bars with "LGBT-friendly" as a single bullet point of their online description. It's more something I'd need to do with friends, and I don't have that many who aren't straight.
If you find a place worth recommending in Melbourne, would you mind telling me?

Same, going out rarely and not a huge deal for me. The internet shows a few around Collingwood/Abbotsford/Fitzroy. Sircuit Bar, The Peel, The Laird and DT's Hotel. About 80 minutes by public transport from where I live.
Maybe we could meet up some time in the city?
I heard good things about The Laird, a bear/leather bar if that's of interest to you.
Sorry to hear about the bad last few days.
Maybe at some point we could meet up in the city?

whewww alcohol.

All the alcohol! I have some stashed in my closet. I'm craving poptarts baaaaad. I want strawberry or blueberry like meow!
My mood has slightly improved but meh. Quantum Break is giving me life atm.
Oh, and pretty sure I got bailed on for a date. So life sucks again. I swear why even try?
Gibbs

Right! All the dating apps and even though I get messages, these people live a bit away and ugh... they seem like creepers or definitely aren't my type.
Debating if I just want to go into the retirement home at 30 and stop caring.

I'd like to argue that many of us were probably born during the wrong era. Though during dinner on Friday night with my BFF, we decided if I am single still at 60, and she gets divorced, that we will get married so we wont have to be alone. Backup plan at least.
You are young, attractive, and will find someone with ease. Some guy will appreciate your crayola.

Which apps are you using? Like dating apps or hookup apps?

I don't even look at apps anymore honestly.

Mixture of both. Match, OK Cupid, POF, Grindr, Surge, Tinder. These are just ontop of my head. I may have tried others and deleted them at some point. Debating on Zoosk but probably won't waste my time.
I'm probably going to just bail on them all and just say screw it. I mean, its the same people on every damn one of them. LIke just give me a chance! Say hi! Instead I get "cut/uncut, top/bottom and those questions mixed with penis and asshole pictures. Ugh.
Sometimes I want to put my sexuality to straight and see if I have any luck on the other side.

There is an FMV game on Steam, The Awkward Steve Duology ($3.50 from memory at the moment). Rather, two games together. The second game is a sweet story about a man with social anxiety who locks himself in the bathroom when his housemate unexpectedly throws a party and he finds things to do to pass the time. Actual big spoilers
.
They are absurdly comedic games that take social anxiety seriously though it might initially seem to be laughing at people with it, I don't think it is
his male housemate's ex-bf bonds with your character in messqges pushed under the door, it has a sad ending though with the other guy being dead, why do that

I'm going ok. Supermarket cashiering, working my way to be able to faro shuffle reliably (cutting a deck exactly to the card where I want to and then weaving the two packets to be perfectly interlaced). Something I was always intimidated by but has heaps of useful mathematical properties for magic.
Currently at where I vounteer and just spilled ice coffee in one of those takeaway sippy cups due to insecure lid. There are a few suspicious drops on my crotch.
Thing I can do: half reliably faro shuffle.
Thing I can't do: use a sippy cup.
How are you doing at the moment?

I am trying to sleep as I work in the morning but that's not happening. I haven't been in the best mood lately but I am doing ok at the moment other than the whole sleeping thing.

Are you able to call in sick to work from not being able to get the sleep needed?

I can actually work without sleep, it's probably unhealthy but I've done it before.
I'll go anyway if I end up not sleeping at all.
I know plenty of couples, gay and otherwise, who have met via apps.
It's hard to find guys who are into gaming and going out to bars. I may just be a unicorn in that respect.
