Video Games, and why I might be done with them

Sorry to hear this Snoogle. It's probably worth it to keep investigating your condition and issues around medication, sleep, etc.

[Snooglebum]

Thanks everybody! All the support I've gotten from you guys has been truly heartwarming.

I hope you get around it somehow. I'm saying this to be glib: nothing wrong with text adventures.

Hey Snoogle, I hope you find a way to continue doing the things you love. My job and interests outside of that all rely heavily on computer usage and I know how I'd feel if I had to give them up completely.

Take care. I've just been watching a Christmas film so I feel I should throw a 'Merry Christmas' in here too.

Here's the thing: I don't like slow games. I like fast-paced games that constantly provide stimulation, otherwise I get bored. But the very thing I like is the thing that's worst for me.

[brkl]

Well... That sucks.

[Kolzig]

Sorry to hear that Snooglebum.

I hope there is some workaround that lets you enjoy games again.

Well, if you like only fast paced gaming, then that really cuts off all the adventure games for you.

How about playing in black and white?

Why don't you find yourself a typewriter. Some have almost identical key layout as most keyboard.

Armchair wanted me to post a public announcement to the effect that I'm just kidding, and he has never stolen almost anything in his entire life. I'm truly sorry if I have offended him or his family with my cruel jokes about him, and hope his reputation hasn't been completely tarnished beyond his ability to slowly restore it by working hard and not stealing.

Haha, I just remember another thread where people were claiming the same thing. It was just strange for Armchair to stick around and be friendly and helpful at the same time he was being accused of stealing a couple of thousand dollars.

I WILL NO LONGER PRESS THE ISSUE.

And this is what happens when I don't come on often enough anymore and just cherry pick threads at random until the next time.

It all comes from jokey skype conversations while playing video games.
