in the extreme minority that hasn't watched star wars

star wars is aight
|
Given the horrific nature of the prequels and especially the sequels - which are somehow worse - I don't know if it's a blessing to have never watched Star Wars or not.
|
Never seen the sequels, they haven't really pulled me in. I like Empire Strikes Back though.

Star Wars was a huge thing when I was a kid when the originals were re-released for the 20th anniversary, but watching the movies for the first time now I imagine they might feel dated, and without nostalgia or existing fondness for the franchise that's not a good thing. I mean, not saying the original trilogy isn't worth watching now or anything, but I can imagine that they might not seem as good now as they did back then. I mean, if you played the original FFVII now, you definitely wouldn't have the same kind of experience you might have had if you had played it when it was first released. Same sort of thing. |
Guys, my sleep schedule has been totally off whack lately. There is a day or two I am up the full 24 hours, then the next two or three days sleep 85%-90% of the day. Sorry I haven't been on much. I'm sick, but NOT with Corona. I'm just mentally ill. My Dad is the only person now that's keeping me from mentally losing it. He and I are talking about my future a lot lately, though he is optimistic and smart, I just don't see it.
Oh, turns out we're NOT moving after the pandemic after all. It was all a misunderstanding, sadly enough. |
oof D: all the best to you!! this whole mess really doesn't help mental health, it's been stressing us all out :( i hope you feel better soon!
|
Happy Saturday, everyone~
This week has been an unimitigated hell. Work has been an absolute nightmare, I've been locked in mortal kombat with my scanner/printer (it's fatality was giving me a migraine...repeatedly) and my free time has been spent playing Final Fantasy VII Remake. Ugh. 13 days to go. Just 13 days... |
Quarantine has been an experience. There are good days and bad days, but mostly ok days. I hope everyone is doing well ^^
|
I've been all over the place lately mostly mentally. Had a bit of a panic attack yesterday that I've never experienced which I went to the hospital for and got a clean bill of health. Felt kinda silly later on in the day for it as I grew up on the whole you better have something seriously wrong or on the verge of dying before you go to the hospital.
The best thing though is I got my new laptop after coming home from the hospital and it was delivered 4 days early. :D The only issue was I wish I had gotten the bigger screen because I'm not use to having something so small. |
Quarantine has given me nothing but bad days, it's been an awful ride so far and I don't see it getting any better.
Kinda unfortunate I started my job a few weeks before the whole quarantine started. |
I've been pretty lazy for most of it. We're not sure when we are going back to work. Some of us are still a bit nervous because we deal with the public.
|
I've been lazily watching more things on Netflix and playing more games...
In general, though, I'm over it and I want it goneeee. That binge of She-Ra was p fun though. |
I'm just tired of people throwing hissy fits over nothing. People should be lucky they aren't having to go through this like people did back in the day. I mean we have so much that we can do now that people didn't have back then.
|
Right? People are complaining that they have to follow rules and stay inside, but like... we have the luxury of following rules and staying inside. Not everyone does, and not everyone can. :(
|
It's just annoying how people make it all about them. I mean it can get boring at times but I haven't really had any issues about things. I understand that people want to go back to work and may need to but at the same time if we jump to fast we'll just have to do this ALLLLLLLL over again.

People who're bored say it's so inconvenient for them, and I'm like I'm sorry you're inconvenience but at least you're alive??? I understand the people who don't have money incoming and have to work, but otherwise... oof. ON A LIGHTER NOTE I went to go finally buy a Switch and there's a 400 person waiting list at the chain where I have all my game credit....... I just want to play Pokemon Sword. sdfasd |
I know a lot of people were wanting to get a Switch when Animal Crossing came out and you couldn't find any anywhere. It was crazy. I'd say order it online if you can you might get it quicker.
|
I bought my Switch at launch because Nintendo like to deliberately understock their products in order to artificially inflate demand - as if this is somehow a better money-making strategy than just providing sufficient stock and generating actual profit - and I knew if I didn't then I'd probably be waiting until around January of the following year for one...coronavirus has made them painfully scarce now in some places, especially the Lite. Online is definitely your best bet right now. Lots of online sites have good deals and more reasonable prices, too. Good luck!
...the ironic thing is that I didn't touch my Switch until around October after I finished BOTW, and considering how awful that was I probably could have waited =/ |

Just checking in with my ol' friends here. How is everyone holding up?
|
hey ec!!
|
hello ummmm people that like posting in this thread
|
Weekend, hurrah. And a public holiday on the Tuesday for me as well, so a bit more of a break as well to enjoy. \o/
|
Gotta love weekends. Another 20+ hours on Xenoblade Chronicles for me probably. xD
|
whats xenoblade chronicles
|
idk never heard of em
|
it's a video game that's been on the WiiU and now the switch from what i know.
|
*pokes DCC with a stick* So is anyone alive? o_O;
I've been having a lot of school related nightmares lately. I honestly don't know if I want to go back to school. I also had "the lesbian dream" one night...even though the girl transformed into a guy at the end and I was heartbroken. Hmm, how's everyone mental health atm? |
Oh this thread still exists, good. Couldn't find it yesterday.
Eh, it fluctuates depending on the day. Thanks for asking. |
no im dead
|
hii
my mental health is ok, been distracting myself with drawing and ffxiv aha |
I don't know if i'd define my dreams as "interesting" ashscot. Most of them are nightmares about going back to school. I only had the "lesbian dream" once. Anyway, i've been distracting myself from quarantine by playing on the laptop and playing video games. I feel like I don't want to go back to school because of the nightmares. I'm considering transferring or an alternate form of learning. My school is too big on the creative and performing arts anyway, in which I never was.
|
I didn't know there was an official lesbian dream. You learn something new every day!
I'm a complete wreck, but that's nothing new tbh. |
I've been all over the place and had a weird work dream. I'm still not back to work yet but I had a dream that we opened but nothing was turned on and the lights were still off. The place was packed and wanting to buy stuff even though nothing was working. Mind you I work at a Japanese bowling and arcade.

How is the situation in Japan anyways? I haven't heard anything. |
Japan's actually been doing pretty good from what I understand they never closed any of their stores that I know of. Because when we closed all of our stores in the States they were paying management 70% of their pay but that only lasted for 2 paychecks. My store in Michigan has been closed since the middle of March. I know a handful of stores in states that weren't hit hard have reopened already.
|
My "state" is in phase four currently which is crazy I know. But the people I live with don't make it feel like phase four. If I take a vacation for a month or two to a state in which....idk what phase they're in but I have really special relatives there, so I might go there for my mental health. I'll ask to bring my laptop so i'll keep in contact with you guys. I'll also bring my 3DS and phone since they claim they do a lot of social distance outside of work. They don't know I own a Switch yet so lol. I'll be socially distancing, but at least it'll be with people I love.
There are currently no plans to travel to that state as of now yet. However, it might be in my cards soon. No it's NOT Florida, Cali, Arizona, or Texas. But it'll be in PST so idk. Stay tuned lol. |
So I had trouble sleeping and went outside to get some fresh air. It's currently dark outside at my place, btw. When I was on my way back home two guys with foreign accent appeared. One of them randomly asked me if I had weed. I didn't want anything to do with them, but he got angry and grabbed my jacket. Then he demanded I give him all my money (I actually didn't have any on me anyway), however I could only shout and scream and tried to take a defensive stance. Ends up: I get kicked around a bunch and he continued to demand money. Long story short: I ended up in the river still screaming and shouting, his pal went like "this guy is drunk" and then they disappeared shortly after.
I'm currently still under adrenaline and tomorrow this'll probably hurt a lot. Also my jeans and shoes are went and I need those two for work tomorrow. Also my head starts to hurt already <_< |

Hurricane Isais has had an affect on my area, bringing constant rain and flooding. Fortunately, no trees have been knocked down in my neighborhood so far, and the power is still on. My mom had foresight to keep multiple portable chargers here, batteries and a back up generator just in case we get disconnected for a few days. We are safe right now, it's just not pleasant.
I have had lots of caughing spells and trouble breathing because the weather is so humid. It's raining all the time, but it's not cool, it's hot, muggy and steamy like you're in a sauna filled with fumes. Things in the environment never fully drying is going to lead to mold, which I am very allergic to. The very air I breathe smells full of moisture. It's just a soggy feeling. We also have sprung a leak in the attic that needs to be repaired, the rain water is coming through. Also been experiencing loud, intense thunder storms through the night, so my sleep pattern hasn't been great. Most of all I miss seeing the sun during the daytime. There's barely a distinction between morning and evening right now, it just varies between different shades of gray. It feels like my day never really gets started. I already don't go out as much as I used to because of Covid, but not even having the sunlight is rather miserable, and according to the last weather report I expect this to go on for the next two weeks. Come back sun! |
ahh Sam, wishing you the best! T_T I hope it's been better for you now!
isaiah knocked out power for a lot of people here. our power partially went out a bit later (I assume still as a result of the storm) Wednesday evening, and came back on the next day around mid-afternoon. we were lucky since our fridge was still keeping things mostly cool and the lights worked for the most part, even if they were dimmed. some other people lost power completely and I'm not sure if they all have it back yet. thinking that there are families who are already struggling enough, especially those who may have lost work to covid, and can't afford to have a set of groceries go bad makes me so upset... |
Well....This past week was rough for me. The last two days of my week were rough on me, so much that one day I just wasn't feeling well (Mentally) and felt like taking a mental health day the next, but didn't. Then, yesterday I slept most of the morning and felt a little better afterwards.
I'm fine now, I just hope this week isn't worse. |

Bored but other wise good. How about everyone else?
|
Better than the past few days, today...
|
helloooo everyone. im kinda mentally meh and bored at the moment and im always trying to come back to pc for new friends c:
|
*Waves*
Its good to see you back. I know I've seen you around here and there back in the day. :D |
thanks! yeah i was very very active, multiple hours a day every day, between about 2009 and 2012 or so, then just visited less and less often over time and now i really struggle to come back and stay back even though i love this place and have really fond memories here. i feel if i made friends that would give me more of a reason to stay around!!
|
I know back in the day I was kinda here and there and jumping around until I finally came back 100%.
|
i'd honestly love to be as invested i was back when i was much younger. PC shaped me really heavily as a kid for the better and i credit a lot of my personality to the time i spent here!!
|
That's kinda how I've felt on other forum communities over the years.

Hey Sunset! Welcome back! (。’▽’。)♡

Hello, how's everyone?
|
Not very well, unfortunately. My mother experienced pain on her palm, so I'm worried about her. Can't focus doing my usual stuff either. Hopefully others have a better day than mine.

Fine I guess! I slept in later than I needed to though D:
|
Speaking of sleep, I decided just to sleep through this pandemic as much as I can. School isn't opening up on a positive note, and everyone in my life is forcing me to go back to my old school, so why be awake for it? Might as well sleep through class too. *rolls eyes*
On a completely different note, I'm going to force people in my house to get a better router so I can have NSO in my room, so i'm hoping for that. |
(late)
i'm okay! got games to distract me, and my sick cat has been pretty happy despite being sick so there's that to make things better. not sure how long it'll stay that way, hopefully a while 👍 |
I may have to take my cat to the vet because she's been kinda off lately.

Abort sleep through pandemic plan. i can't sleep again. Oh man, not another sleepless night. ;-; |

(hope you've been sleeping better redballoon :<) |
hullo!! i'm doin' okay, just at work waiting for a super long data scrape to finish. basically..just sitting here with a locked computer lmao
|
hii
i want sushi :( |
I had Panda Express if that counts...lol.
|
All that sounds good but I have to really watch what I eat sadly :(
|
Aw I understand! sushi is delicious though and I only have it like... 1-2 times a month, sometimes less lol
No guilt!! |
Omg I think I haven't had sushi in like a whole month! Iirc I was still in class last I had some :(
|
Ah, sushi! It's the 8th wonder of the world. My last sushi encounter was on September 5th. I remember that date because I snagged some for my birthday (the 4th) and got two packs, so I devoured one on my bday and ate the other one on the next day. They were vegetable sushi, not fish so they could keep. The combo was carrots, cukes, avocado with sesame seeds over the sushi rice!
Sushi is still my favorite food, even if it is becoming rarer and rarer for me to eat these days. I miss those lunch dates with my dad for Japanese food at a local restaurant. He would usually order a salmon, while i'd pig out on the sushi and noodles. |
I still have yet to try it, myself.
What kinds are there? |
Rumors say I'm back. I cannot deny these claims, but I won't confirm them.
|
Hi!
Thinking about my husband Silverash |
I should really spend more time here, but I've got so much going on right now...plus I feel like general trash =/
|
I have a lot going on too, but I find PC a good getaway from it all ^^
I have a constant headache going on though. |
I always feel like this is my getaway from life.
|
Especially social media, which I'm trying to stop using at all.
|
Okay, I need advice.
Apparently, i'm going back to school in two or three weeks, however, something really weird happened. You see, in actuality, the zoom classes are optional if someone were not to attend in my school. But I was walking around my neighborhood minding my own business when my cell phone rang. It was a friend I haven't talked to in AGES! Her voice was very hyper and high pitched and happy. She said I didn't know what I was missing in the zoom classes and that there was a new really cool teacher there. Well I didn't get much information since I told her I was out, but then I felt guilty for not continuing the conversation, because I wanted to know more about the zoom classes and this really cool teacher. To my knowledge, there will still be students missing when I return, but i'm curious how my opinion would've changed/been on school in general if I just attended the zoom classes. There is no pass/fail grades anymore so I just wonder.... I can't stay in front of a screen long anymore, so it's just a mystery. EDIT: Forgot to mention the school days will still be half days when I return. |
