This has been a really, really bizarre year

Yes. Yes it has.

For videogames however, this year kicked fucking ass. And ISN'T EVEN DONE YET.

You're young yet, you'll find that cynicism eventually.

Sorry I can't hear you over my VR porn.

I've found it pretty good so far. :v

Among other things, i've met the supremely cool people in my roleplaying group. Walking home today from a really fun session, i was nearly moved to tears (of joy!) thinking about how on earth i've managed to find myself in such great company, and how i've even managed to make myself deserving of it. They are really, really nice people, and it's like, i'm still only learning how to not be extremely awkward around people, how haven't i fucked this up yet? It still feels really weird when i get the feeling that non-family people are actually happy to see me and enjoy having me around; i otherwise kind of go around thinking that people are just like "yeah ok you can be around i guess", as if that's not a given until otherwise stated. Weird as it may feel, it also feels really nice. I don't know if i'm just really lucky or if i'm doing something really right, but i ain't complainin'.

Yay or hugpats or whatever it is that TBF says in response to this thread.

I believe the response you are looking for is "Yay!"

Yay!

Well, I mostly ment personally, but I'm happy the year has also been bizarre for you folks!

After years, I finally beat the original Advance Wars campaign.  As a kid I could never get past the final couple levels with Sturm in them.  God the AI was so bad in that.  And the plot had no respect for the fact that the COs are sending soldiers to die.  The last mission features Andy vs Eagle with a more than 2:1 income advantage; there's no way even a terrible human player couldn't at least get stalemate in that position.  And the plot for the level is they're engaging in bloody warfare because "lol you want a rematch bro?"  Still, the nostalgia is powerful, and all in all its a pretty well crafted experience.

This was all on my old GBA cartridge from over a decade ago.  I went to check how much the second one is on Amazon and almost had a heart attack when it was $110.  Fortunately that was just the new price, its just $13 used.  I tried running it on an emulator but it lagged, as emulators are tend to do.  Besides the whole reason I went back to portable gaming is so I could play in bed with the lights out and laptops are awkward for that.

So there's this page I've been helping run on FB, dedicated to artists from the region, connecting them and helping them and whatnot. Pretty cool overall, but it's been not as great lately, different reasons, many many different reasons, been contemplating quitting even. But today I get a message on the page from a local guy who wants to know more about drawing, says he's already good at copying stuff but wants to learn more. And also, the dude is apparently dsylexic, so he's super nice and keeps saying thanks and sorry whenever I reply to his numerous questions, probably the reason why he's asking privately like this instead of in the group itself.

Shit like this is why I joined this thing and it just makes me incredibly happy and fuzzy inside to be able to do anything for folks when it comes to art

FINALLY.

My entrance exam for economics went well. The universities of it I'm applying for are only my 5th and 6th choices, but if things go badly with my more primary choices, I now have a safe fallback.

Not quite relatable for me, but it cheers me up anyway.

Bumped into the cat I posted about in the cutes thread in the garden again. Sat down with her for a good 15 minutes or so for a petting session. Tried to take a video and some photos of her, but whenever I tried she'd start head bopping the camera to get me to pet her with both hands again. 

Super jealous of whoever owns the little lass, she's so affectionate.
