For a handful of us we didn’t even have persona beyond being a mod. I was a regular poster for probably 10 weeks, then a mod/admin for 13 years. We were in dire need of mods back then.

I took my grandson to a retro arcade and when I got home, I complained about my knee. I’m that old.

If I hadn’t always been a privilege-assigned rank? Yes:

CHA-LA HEAD-CHA-LA

I’ve complained about my knee hurting today after attending a retro arcade. I am dust.

I will shout out specifically to you, though. You were such a light in my life when my disease was at its worst. Love you man.

I fear posting on these because I will forget someone and feel terrible. I will go cheap and say so many of you have fingerprints on my heart. I have a deep love and respect for at least a score of you.

Oh, and he probably would’ve been a way better community manager than me.

Luuv and I had a wild relationship. Here’s some inside baseball from the ASMB that I probably haven’t told. Y’all remember SwimTorrent was the community admin? They were wanting him to focus more on games, so there was an opening for admin, and SwimRaven decided the manager would come from within, specifically the mods. I’m not sure how many of us applied, but for me it was three interviews and I’m pretty sure it came down to me and Luuv. I probably win out narrowly because I literally lived in the city and could work in person. I think Luuv was pretty hurt and I don’t think our relationship was ever the same, which is really painful now since it truly can’t. He was an amazing guy and though we frequently butted heads, I loved talking to him and hearing his perspective.

We’re blessed to have an arcade near our house

Goldar. I still see his account pretty much every time I log into a battle.net account. I miss him.

That 2003 adult swim lineup is so fucking clutch.

I never was. I’m lame.

I was a 20 year old kissless virgin with not much going on in my life. Twenty years later? I am 40.

Sony is releasing a…well basically it’s a Wii U for the PS5. It’s a portable streaming device that has to be connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your PS5 to work. My question is, why? What’s the use case for this thing? You can stream to a variety of devices. Those devices do other things, too. This ONLY streams a PS5, which you have to own first for it to do anything. https://www.theverge.com/23737403/sony-playstation-portable-project-q-questions Get a Steam Deck or ASUS ROG Ally instead.

Mother’s Day at Renfest, it was an amazing day

Not totally surprising, it’s a bit more esoteric to acquire than your average pc or console:

My nearly 70 year old Dad is playing Chrono Trigger on his Steam Deck. I am proud.

How’s allergy season going for y’all?

The memes. The memes were so good.

I got VERY SUNBURNED moments later

Whoops, didn’t know this was already posted!
