Yes, several. I’ve never done drugs, I don’t drink, I have no diagnosed mental disorders.

Can’t really talk about it super openly here, but I would be happy to DM you. Both dark and good ones, mostly good.

The good ones were wonderful, made me feel more alive and aware than any other time in my life. Saw people healed seemingly miraculously, some other stuff that is really personal but very lovely.

The bad ones, especially the worst one was almost indescribably horrific. I’ll just say I decided it would be interesting to try and contact beings that shouldn’t be contacted, I was skeptical and didn’t think it would actually work, and I was horribly wrong. They accepted my invitation, I wish they hadn’t, terror followed.

DM me if you wanna know the details.

I’ll have to check that out lol.

I’ve tried to get into Arma 3 many times over the years. But it’s just way too much for me. I like some MilSim, but Arma is so complicated and just not worth it to me. To make it worse, everybody that I’ve linked up with to learn how to play with always says that the base game sucks and you have to install 15+ mods just to start having fun.

Sorry, but if a base game isn’t worth playing unless you spend 2-3 hours fighting to get 15+ mods all working together just to then get barely 40 FPS, spend another hour planning the mission, and then trying to remember the dozens of hotkeys for the 10 unique ways you can crouch next to a wall, I’m just not interested and it probably isn’t a very good game.

Most people recommend playing Minecraft with like 50 mods, but at least Minecraft is a good fully playable game in vanilla mode…

Sim City for GameBoy. If you’re thinking, “how the heck would you play Sim City on a GameBoy?” Exactly, don’t do it. Young me wanted to like it, but just spare yourself…

My spouse and I had a very long layover between red eye flights and decided to get a ride to a nearby motel to catch a few hours of sleep before going back to the airport early in the morning to catch our next flight. This was in a southern state in the US.

It turned out to be a super sketchy motel and it was really late at night when we got there. We could tell it was in a rough part of the city, driving past houses on the street all had bars over the windows and doors, lots of trash blowing across the street, stuff like that.

We go inside to sign in and get our room and the clerk mumbles something we can’t understand and asks us to wait for a few minutes. Then while we’re sitting in the lobby, a huge pickup truck pulls up outside with a white guy driving it. Two Hispanic guys get out of the cab, an older man and a boy. They walk in and start talking quietly with the clerk. They both seemed really nervous and kept glancing nervously at the pickup running outside. After a few minutes the clerk led them both away somewhere and then the truck drove away and the clerk called us up and signed us in.

I think it might have been some kind of human trafficking/smuggling thing, but idk. It just was so weird, everybody involved was acting really nervous and on edge. I hope both of them are alright, we obviously never saw them again or even saw where they got led off to.

In college, I was in a geology class and randomly in the middle of a class session, one of the students decided to stand up and start yelling at the professor about creationism and how the earth is only a few thousand years old, all that crap.

You could tell that he thought this was his big moment of “fighting for his faith” and expected some dramatic showdown with the professor in front of the class because he kept glancing around at the students expectantly as he ranted.

Instead, the professor just quietly said something like, “well, I’m not telling you what to believe, I’m just teaching what I know from my profession.” The student said some final snarky line, I can’t remember what exactly, then sat down again and after a few seconds of awkward silence, the professor just started again where he left off lol.

It was super cringe.

Roblox doesn’t work on Linux anymore? Several years ago I was playing it without any significant issues.

Capitalism. The incentive for any large, profit-motivated firm will always be to get the most people to pay as much as possible for as little as possible.
