The You Game!

[Steo]

< hopes that will still somehow work out.

< is reminded of the time < was in school with a sore throat. < tried to call out when they done the role call, but they said "not here again" or something, then someone else said "miss, he's here". Then she started lecturing < like "speak up, you could have been marked out for the day blah blah blah". Someone said "miss, he has a sore throat". Then she was like "Oh God I'm so sorry". That was definitely just awkward for her.

< hears that Stea enjoys PSO from Hoodcom. < Loves that game, and PSO2.

< hears that Stea enjoys PSO from Hoodcom. < Loves that game, and PSO2.

< says that ^ would be right about that. < used to play it on GameCube at a friend's house on split-screen as a kid a lot, and then years later < got into playing it again on PSOBB (Blue Burst). < was surprised that there was a way to just play it on PC like that, and < got into it again. < of course would have loved to be able to own it on GameCube as a kid and actually have internet, but it was just a very fun game overall, even to play it again years later like this on PC.

< used to play PSO in high-school, and < got addicted to it. < also played it on Dolphin Emulator, it was amazing. < Would love to play that with ^ at some point, but currently < is too addicted to Final Fantasy 14 Online and the PVP for it.

[Steo]

< thinks that's really cool. < was very addicted to it too but could only play it at <'s friend's back then. < was surprised to eventually realise that it was originally on Dreamcast. Anyway < would also love to play it again at some point, but < will also likely have to have things come back to < after so long away from the game.

< says enjoy FF14.

[Reese Riverson]

< knew that ^ and ^^ would get into a nice conversation about PSO.

[The Jonster]

< is real late saying this, but glad the headache cleared up ^.

< hopes ^^'s headache subsided and both ^ and ^^ can take it easy.
<'s been remarkably distracted lately, <'s focus has hit the floor and it's making work a bit of a pain when <'s trying to problem solve....

< got up reasonably early today. The issue there is that < will probably have to nap, that or feel groggy all day. Sometimes < thinks staying up and then going a sleep at a reasonable time would make more sense, but then < ends up not doing that anyway somehow.

< understands that feeling also, < keeps having that on and off at times too. Though < isn't actually doing it for work, < is trying to work on some projects that involve programming. < is finding it hard at times to stay focused on them and get things done.

Ohhh < can relate to this, <‘s sleep schedule recently has returned to normal. < should be asleep by now but….

< is also having trouble focusing on <‘s tasks/projects. Truth be told, >’s caught in an avoidance cycle which < has been told by <‘s therapist and psychiatrist. To the point where either < starts and then stops before finishing or just not even starting at all (which has been a really big issue for <). Guess it’s time for < to start going back to the library.

[EdgyRabbid]

< just got suggested a video of France after the parliament collapsed and now < wants to know what the actual FUCK is GOING ON!?

< definitely thinks it's harder to focus and get into working on things when < hasn't had enough sleep. < had to have a nap again today also. The past week, < has been getting woken up early by a new dog, which isn't fully used to people here yet and it keeps wanting a lot of attention compared to the others.

[Reese Riverson]

< could tell that ^ was lacking sleep, considering how often ^ has been on, even when it's late for <.

[Steo]

Yeah < has a habit of that again ever since < was working on a program for something. < started staying up late working on it, since it's quiet at that time. < still has to get back to working on those projects at some point.

<'s voice was fine, but then < got stuck on one of the tutorial questions and we ran out of time! At least < gave the students an appreciation for how hard it is! < shall strive to do better next time…

< can totally imagine that playing out! Like the time we were doing the dress rehearsal for the school play and the music teacher started giving out about the narrator not reading his lines over the opening music, but it was actually the sound guys' fault for not turning on the mic

< just got suggested a video of France after the parliament collapsed and now < wants to know what the actual FUCK is GOING ON!?

< doesn't really know what's going on there… and doesn't really want to know too much either

It dawned on < today that < has been a staff member here for the best part of a decade. That's so weird…

< thinks it's at least good that the voice stuff went well, and yeah at least it wasn't a disaster!

This one actually made < laugh out loud, it's just funny when someone else messes up and someone else is getting blamed for it like this.

The feeling is mutual, < has actually been one for 6 years or so at this point? < is sure that < got appointed in 2019, and became global in 2020.

[Master]

< can't believe how long it feels since < retired from the role, < has to commend ^ and ^^ for sticking with it for so long

Yep, < agrees with those dates!

< says thanks! Honestly, < had wanted to be an admin here for so long that it would just feel wrong to give it up
<'s pink username on the other hand – that's gonna have to disappear tomorrow

< was driving through the countryside this morning and heard a burglar alarm somewhere making the "no power" sound. A few minutes later < drove past some high-tension fuses on a pole, which weren't blown. But after looking on PowerCheck, it seems that if < had been an hour earlier, < might have seen them closing those fuses back in after they isolated the fault, which would have been interesting. And if < had been an hour later, < might have seen the fuses blowing again after they attempted to close back in the downstream line which was apparently still faulted. That would have been epic, but it was not to be

< does wonder what it would be like to be driving along and suddenly a HT fuse blows on the side of the road. It must be pretty unnerving to say the least…

< thanks ^. < hasn't honestly been extremely active for the entire time < was here. There were phases where < should have been around more really. Still, < really did want to stick around, especially when < was appointed as a global moderator. < doesn't even really ever want to step down so long as < is able to be active enough to be here, because < really likes this place. < just wishes that < had been more active around 2022-2023 or so, but < is thankful that < was never stripped of the status.

< also remembers that when < first joined here, ^ had the role that < has now. < also remembers that ^ moderated for 5 years if < remembers correctly. < didn't even think that < would make it that far due to certain reasons.

Yep, < agrees with those dates!

< Can confirm both the dates as well, and < congratulations you two on your milestones.

[Steo]

< thanks ^ also! < really likes this place and actually grew to like it so much even in the first few months. < is glad to be able to help out around here.

[Greengoop]

< Likes to casually contribute to stuff even though < isn’t a moderator, and < has much respect for the mod team especially for still managing this forum even after times haven’t been the best.

[EdgyRabbid]

< thinks it’s really cool that they’ve stuck out for so long and after so much bullshit
