The Whining and Bitching Thread

[CiG]

I gave up all competitive online gaming a couple weeks ago and while I've been much more relaxed and less frustrated/anxious (with life in general) due to the lower stress levels, I'm getting bored just listening to music/reading/doing more relaxing single player gaming stuff. I need to get something that gets the adrenaline/competitive juices flowing to fill the gap. I'm leaning towards getting a mountain bike, but money is tight for the next couple of months paying off the last bit of the land we bought. I've tried the board gaming thing, and it's fun, but I get bored after a couple hours of it and/or can't readily find someone to play when I do feel like playing. There's nothing quite like the convenience of just queuing up for something online and playing right away. I'm not frothing at the mouth or anything, but just have an itch in my brain I can't scratch. Watching youtube Gopro videos of people mountainbiking and basejumping has been entertaining enough but I need to do something mentally stimulating or it's just not the same.

Meh. It will get better with time.

Why don't you take up online gaming again but this time be more conservative with it, set schedules etc.

Well, it's less about it taking up too much of my time or any gaming addiction concerns like most people have when they give it up. I've always been able to stop gaming if other responsibilities in life need to take priority. With me it's more so the frustration level often exceeding the enjoyment I get from it, and subsequently putting me in a shit mood after. I tend to take anything I do very seriously (I'm the epitome of a tryhard), and particularly when my teammates/allies aren't taking the game as seriously as I am, or are playing poorly it's just better I just not play and avoid getting frustrated by other people's actions I can't control.

One of my close Smiths Falls friends died yesterday. Overdose. Of what, I do not know. She was only about 20.

We have been trying for the past three months to make plans to hang out, for when I was in Smiths Falls... but it never came to fruition. I feel like an absolute shitty friend right now, because of this. I wish I had gotten to see her at least one last time.

And a few years ago, her and I kinda had a brief thing, and I grew to have a low-key crush on the girl. It never fully went away. But even without that, we talked often and she was literally one of the most kind and cheery souls I ever knew. A really great person.

So as it is, I'm totally in shock, and just perplexed about it. I have a feeling this will eventually hit me like a ton of bricks.

My condolences, man.

Sorry buddy.

 

[The Butt]

It hit me like a shit-ton of bricks on the walk to work yesterday tbh. I totally broke down.

I don't know how people handle this. I've never had to deal with the loss of someone this close before. Just distant family, not anyone really close.

 

[suckerleaf]

As someone who has had to deal with the deaths of two of my closest friends I can tell ya it's gonna be tough for a while. Just keep your head up.

There's nothing really anyone can say or you can do to take that gut punch away for a while. Time will scab it over and beer takes the edge off. Sorry to hear it, brother.

Ugh. Decided to try for a tan Saturday. Only did 30 min each side. I've had a headache and chills since. My pale ass didn't appreciate that, but I don't really feel burned either. So weird...

 

[unknown]

...why?

 

[Draehl]

Well, it helps with getting vitamin D and may even help me give some vitamin D too

 

[Nephilim96]

dick?

okay so you didn't go to a tanning salon. Got it

 

[Draehl]

okay so you didn't go to a tanning salon. Got it

oh yeah. Just out in the sun on the back deck.

 

[Serjeant Grumbles]

And you think tanning is going to attract the right sort? Any girl who doesn't want Peter's Steele is not worth your time.

 

[Omni]

So only necrophiliacs are worth your time. Noted.

 

[Serjeant Grumbles]

Obviously I'm talking about Peter Steele in his prime, when he did that photoshoot. However, a necrophiliac may still be more appealing than a basic bitch, at least.

 

[Omni]

He has a pretty nice body, but his face is weird and I don't like his music very much at all.

 

[Draehl]

I'm not trying to get dark or anything nor could I as I have a very light complexion (blond hair, light green eyes, etc) just trying to get a little color

 

[Carpe Mortem]

Women liked Peter steele because he had a full head of long hair and was like 30 feet tall, easily.

I liked him because he made fun of everyone who liked him. Regularly.
