Alien is a real smanger. Go for it.

I should probably check out Undertale, but it looks so damn weird :S Maybe I'll wait until it's 75% off.

Undertale is great. I recommend it.

And this is why everyone should move to Seattle! First, you get to hang out with me. :p Second, no humidity in the summer!
 
The running theme for everyone in college writing last semester was "Love and what it means to you".

I just kept making my papers about empathy.

Oh I've already watched Alien, just not on Blu-ray which looks great looking at screenshots.

Undertale is super weird and I love it for it. But I spend a lot of time on quirky indie games anyway.

I got Undertale for christmas and was hoping to start it up today. I keep seeing fanart all over Tumblr and I love it. How far in are you?
 
Was up a bit late last night with a couple of friends over, trying out Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes on GearVR.

Today I'm probably going to turn down going to gun range, a tomato potluck / game night, and spend most of it editing videos, pre-producing a music video, planning out how to film a pod/vcast, and maybe getting around to playing some actual videogames (The Witcher 3 DLC I'm looking at you).
 
Yeah, I spent a week in NYC during the summer once and it nearly killed me. Just not used to that heat at all, where it sticks to you, like an oppressive blanket. And trying to sleep is borderline impossible. Yuck.

That's the one thing I don't miss. My last few days living in Brooklyn were unbearable to sleep in.

& good luck Trab on your thesis! I'm not a fan of academic writing at all as well, which has stopped me from going back to school :(

Busy day! And it sounds like last night was great, too!

Hahaha! Don't get me wrong, NYC is my favorite city in the country to visit but man, the weather was something else. I'm not sure I'd be happy living there either. Seems like an exhausting place.

We'll see! Been a long week, and I'd like to relax too. I mean, I edit everyday / VFX / animate motion graphics anyway. Maybe I SHOULD go to the tomato potluck, lol, but what in the world would I bring? Tomato soup seems so... obvious, but maybe I'll just bring ketchup and a bunch of real food :P

Got it for Christmas too.

You want a location or for how long I played it? Played it 5 hours or so. I'm not sure how long the game is and I don't really trust the game that I am actually near the end.

it's coming from a theory in film that connects myths and the way they are conveyed through cinematic spaces. I'm basically taking this theory to use it on games.

Are you referring to the theory of Jung? Could be interesting.

Fried green tomatoes?

Cherry tomato and fresh mozzarella salad garnished with olive oil?

Damn, I want tomatoes now...
 
Hot guys snuggling in this thread, it's too early in the morning for this much sexy.

Also, I sorta feel like I missed out by getting married so god damned young. All ya'll talking about dating and shit. I never did that.

You seem pretty happy, though. :) (Obviously your health issues suck majorly... but other than thaaaaaaat...) You've got a husband and offspring and dogs and cats and a house and the great outdoors and aside from the cats part that's all very alien to me but still wonderful!

I've dated several people. It's overrated.

I'd prefer being with one person who I could be myself 1000% both good and bad all the time than go for the temporary thrill of dating others spontaneously.
 
Oh yeah, and as someone who was married from 23-26, it is definitely awesome (except if it ends up not being awesome, such was my case, but for the most part it was awesome). Being that close with someone, being able to say anything to them, share anything with them, and knowing that you'll be there for them through the thick of it... it's a special feeling. It's rad.

It's just perfect until it's not.

Sorry to downer

And there's the sex too.

Not married but I can relate. I tried doing the dating thing with 1-2 guys and I just don't have the patience for the games, even if it's supposed to be just a fling. Sometimes I wonder if I should have just been more open about it just to get the experience, but it ended up causing more problems for me.

Yep!

...

Yep yep!

I got married at 18.

I wouldn't recommend it, it was really rough for awhile. I feel like people should wait until they know who they fuck they are before choosing who to spend the rest of their lives with.

This year will be my 16th wedding anniversary god damn o.O

I hear you. Marrying at 23 was wild as well. I'd known the woman in question online since I was 17 and in-person for over a year, but I still feel like it was a rushed decision.

16 years -- congratulations! Here's to another 16 and more!
 
Got it for Christmas too.

actually not, using Eric Rohmer filmwise.
 
I think I'll stick with being forever alone. ;)

What happened? Kinda a personal question but we seem to be good at those here. ;)

I can totally related with this.

It's not the same as being able to sit with someone in dead ass silence, snacking on crappy chinese food @ 2am, in your undies possibly with no shaved legs, and feel happy as fuck.

Warning: depressing post

I made the biggest mistake of my life and allowed us to drift further and further apart. My mom died and one of my two long-time best friends committed suicide and my wife had a miscarriage all within the span of two months and instead of living up to what I said a few posts ago -- "we're there for eachother through it all" or whatever -- I curled up into a defensive ball for months and months and months. It was awful.

Came a time when my wife cheated on me up in North Carolina with some fellow she met through one of those online Mafia community things and I never even really blamed her for it. I was hardly a husband anymore. It was the worst time of my life (uhh, well, I guess when i was homeless as a kid was really bad too but I was a kid and clueless so i just rolled with it) and some days I'm startled I'm somehow doing so well now by comparison. At the time I was convinced it was all a downward spiral from which there'd be no recovering. I wasn't a good person back then.

Needless to say we split up pretty much immediately thereafter.

Edit: Ugh, I feel like I lowered the temperature in here by fifty degrees with this post, ahiaoghagaoibingohwngio

I'm sorry, dude. :( I hope you don't blame yourself too much for any of this. Your reaction to so much extended trauma was perfectly understandable.

We often have to go through the worst shit to hopefully come out the other side better and wiser people.

I dont know if you followed up on the last pages a bit but trust me, you didn't miss out on anything. the dating world is hell haha. it's really the best to have someone you can settle for. <3

oh shit, so sorry to hear that :( glad to see that you seem to do better though. at least from what I can tell via GAF.
 
Babys first realpic January...

Relationships are hard work. I feel that we are 'told' to expect flowers and rainbows for ever (thanks Hollywood), but after the years roll and practicalities of life get in the way you have to work at it. It is awesome when it works though, and you can just be comfortable enough to just sit in each others company.

Thanks man. :) Well, I'm still pretty mad at myself to be honest -- she really didn't deserve to be so thoroughly cold-shouldered, that's for sure -- but yeah, I've learned to accept that many things were out of my control, even if some things certainly weren't. Had a therapist who I saw twice weekly for over a year and he really drove that home.

Sorry, to hear that, but from what I can judge you seem to do better now.

Very happy that you are doing better now though, you're a good guy :)

Its a bittersweet thing. You ended up losing a lot of things in two months and reacted in a way thats completely normal (I would have curled into a ball too if all of that occurred so suddenly). Her actions of cheating, in my opinion, aren't merited despite you blocking everyone out. When you're married, you are in it through everything including this. Her cheating points out a lot more errors on her part than your own. Rather than cheating she should've communicated with you a lot more and should have been there despite your actions because death, especially when in regards to people you love the most, is one of the most difficult things to get through. Patience and understanding were crucial in something like that because love doesn't hold a time limit. She should've pulled closer to you but used it to pull away and find someone else. Marriage, especially that kind of love, isn't something that should've been so pliable/breakable to the point where cheating was on the table.

It's bittersweet because you have now grown as a person 1000%. From both experiencing love and loss, you will now appreciate moments you once took for granted and live far more in every moment than you once did before. It's a hard pill to swallow but you've come a long way and you should never forget that. You aren't the same person you were months/years ago and you will continue to grow in amazing ways as you get older. Some of the most powerful lessons you will learn come from the most pain and that's what makes those moments beautiful. You are everchanging and although none of those events went in your favor, they made you a far stronger person and that is a great thing.
