[Vector]

... My browser just reset and ate my post.  I'll reply in a while.

[JoshuaFH]

Someone was talking about the browser game, Alter Ego, which I never heard of before, so I went to check it out.

After an hour or so of playing, I exit when I find myself getting increasingly depressed at the fact that my life doesn't even remotely resemble the normal life the game attempts to portray.

I didn't get tortured to death in a van, atleast.

[ToonyMan]

Well I would guess the game itself is very broad in ambition and they couldn't get every single life choice in dammit.

[Angel Of Death]

Alter Ego's kinda fun but EXTREMELY annoying at times.

Especially when it accuses you of being an attention whore when you choose the depressed or suicidal mood.

[Solifuge]

I'd like to suggest that people respect Vector's repeatedly stated wishes, and get off the subjects all were asked multiple times to get off of. If nothing else, consider it courtesy.

To rerail, I'm realizing that a lot of my friendships are leaving me feeling burned out and emotionally tired. I enjoy some of the things we do together, and I have no problem playing along with the faux hostility to a point, but something about dealing with it in bulk, and at length just sucks the energy right out of me. I get frustrated by the immaturity sometimes, the veneer of intolerance that they pass for humor (clearly it's funny to insult other races/religions, because they actually don't believe what they say), and trying to have a serious discussion only to get a pointedly inane and stupid response (because pretending to be stupid, and repeatedly interrupting me with non-sequitur insults is also funny, because again it isn't serious).

I like my friends, and I don't want to come across as though I don't, but frankly I'm getting tired of the way we relate. I don't know how to address it without sounding like I have a tremendous stick crammed up my arse either. Bleh.

If you need a vent or someone to talk more reasonable with I know you put me on steam recently. I know the feeling, it's infuriating.

Alter Ego is a browser game now? That explains why I didn't remember a lot of the outcomes people were talking about.

I need Vector on Steam too.  :[

[Gunner-Chan]

I was actually talking to Solifuge. I'm not sure if I'm exactly the kind of person that Vector would enjoy talking to.

[ein]

Both of them on Steam would be neato.

I'm not sure if it's legit to post this at this point but seriously guys there's a difference between "I don't want people to tell me I'm wrong about who I am based on naught but their understanding of their own lives" and "I don't want to talk about it at all", and I'm getting the feeling the former is what would be ideal and the latter is seeming like it might turn out to be the necessary evil to accomplish the first since people apparently won't stop trying to "correct" her self-image out of a misguided desire to be helpful, or at least won't stop giving the impression that that's the case. Also I'm starting to feel like kind of a jackass for posting like this, and I'm not sure why. Presumptuousness on my part, maybe? I think I'll probably give it a rest for a while, considering that the best I can really hope to be is redundant to what Vector's posting.

I heard a man's jaw breaking and I can not get the sound out of my head ._.

So... horrible :s

I hope it's not too painful for you to recall, but where and why did you hear it?

Was it a fight on TV where someone got kicked in the head?

[Vertigon]

It was on tv, yes. It was a guy that grabbed another guy by the back of the head, and with his other hand, forced his jaw backwards into his skull very slowly and you could hear it breaking under the pressure at several different points.

Ninjaedit: Also the blood dribbling/bubbling out of his mouth didn't help.

[MaximumZero]

I assure you, the sound of someone's jaw breaking is really nothing to flinch at IRL. Generally speaking, it's not even something you really hear.
