I know I'll probably be getting semi-threatening messages for this, but I'm going to take a break from Bay12. I will still update Descent and my RPG though so it's not a complete break, but I feel like I have finally worn out everyone's patience so I'm just going to shut up until I stop being a horrible person.

I think you overestimate how much hostility there is towards you here.

Generally when someone makes an RPG and then stops updating it, people stop following it.  But your work is good and people like you, so they keep encouraging you.

Like you can stop going on Bay12 or Descent or whatever, its your life.  But I don't think people are really worn out towards you.  I'm not.

I know I've kinda disappeared mid-game for a lot of my forum games. Haven't recieved hate mail yet...!

[Sirus]

I think people expect roughly 99% of all games and LPs here to end early. You won't get any hatemail :V

See you around someday, Cinder.

[hops]

I kind of meant it as in people going "dammit cinder if you hate yourself too much i'll start hating you"

[Descan]

Most of us understand depression enough to know it's not your fault. We might get annoyed and/or tired at the manifestations of it, but that says nothing about you so much as what it says about the depression itself.

And it's pretty dang obvious you have some form of depression at least.

_{Of course, if you're just saying this stuff to get attention, then butts to you, good sir!}

[Trapezohedron]

Depression tends to alter one person's inclinations to politeness and etc. Feel free to leave, but just know you'll always be welcome here.

5 days no net. Much \o/


Cinder, dearie, I be sending you a PM encompassing everything mentioned here for ya
Sorry for not posting it here--but it covers...a lot of things.

I had this fear too. About my own RTD.
See, I had personal stuffs occurring IRL at these times. Months of delay in between, and a :X feeling everytime I couldn't updoot it.

But then I PM'd all the dudes playing [and the dudes not playing but waitlisting too], and they were totally cool with it. Many offered their support too and encouragement! (Yeah Reudh. You silly kuya! Love you to bits. Amongst all the rest :V)

So...I'll leave this tidbit for ya.

People don't stop you from not being an asshole. What EVERYONE is basically focused on is behavior/attitude and not necessarily or at all, you.

Dammit Objective, stop being so hard on yourself.

Like this orange dude. He's being :I because he's focused on the :I that makes you , NOT YOU BEING D:
(Though the initial feelings would make that seem sensible ._. emotions be silly at times--but emotions only draw meaning from what meaning you give them. Hence it is always best to think through and with them instead of solely FROM them.)

A certain adorable forum member returning is making me feel inferior.

Mostly because I'm an ugly 17 years old man but still.

That certain adorable forum member returning is NOT the cause of that
The orange part is connected to something else.
Maybe comparison--undue comparison.
Maybe self-esteem, most likely seemingly self esteem.
Maybe many unspoken reasons which I would like you to settle with with people there who you can easily and readily talk to.
But yeah, PM incoming. Also advice on behavior and how communication pokes at it.

Just take these things constructively instead of criticism-ally. From my experience of 4+ years on this forum--it tends to lack toxicity because the vocal and outspoken members aren't...y'know, immature. Mostly.

(Woops, left the tab open without posting.)

Grandpa's so skinny now

If you're wanting someone to talk to, my inbox is open.

Thanks, I'll take you up on that maybe.

Mainly I need to put on a happy face for him, but it's so hard seeing him like this, and I feel kinda like I want to hide from this but I'd feel shitty if I did.

Provide for him the best you can.
Reminds me of my grandmother.

The human body is so "amazing".  Response to no longer sitting on the hard floor:  "HEY us butt muscles hurt because we're no longer starved of blood".  Like the response for "sleeping" limbs when you wake up: "Thanks for revitalizing us, have some PINS and NEEDLES ".

I know.  You won't regret being there, later.

Not a decent comparison. The AI prediction, for most scientists and experts, isn't a matter of if, but of when, while the mayan calendar thing was mostly a combination of seasonal fearmongering + excessive dan brownism.

I'll admit that was a shoddy comparison, but when is rather far away. Technology, as quickly as it advances now, is still maturing into robotics. Maybe in a while we'll have that lovely apocalypse all those edgy 14-year-old Youtube commenters have been dreaming about, but speculation at this early point doesn't lead to much other than fear.

Coincidentally, one of the singularity arguments advocating the imminence of the singularity is that because technology advances exponentially on itself, eventually humanity will achieve the technology capable for a human level general intelligence earlier than most people would predict, and as that first human level general AI learns more and more it will itself increase exponentially until boom, singularity. Coincidentally this singularity is always predicted to occur within the singularity proponent's lifetime.

Plus it helps that the word "singularity is very poorly defined in this context. Conveniently so.

I consider myself semi-lucky to not even like coffee at all, so i won't get dependent on it. :v

It tastes terrible!

It's a tad bit aside when beginning to compare robotic equivalence to people overrides the greatness of the person//sentience :/ [because comparisons in that measure aren't...complete. Whole? The word escapes me.]
Feels like a solely IQ-based discussion. Missing a lot of points. Those points on how vast 'learning' can be, both start and proceeds.  >_<

More like "We've been hurting the entire time, but we haven't been able to tell you"

Reminds me of how I woke up one day after somewhat lying down on my arm >_>
I was able to swing it around without controlling it, feeling the blood rush in, along with all the tingles.

...Doesn't help that I hit myself with my hand by accident. <_< Honestly, by accident.
