i've had this stupid ass restriction for about a month now and i refuse to give them my personal info if it means it's going to leak like in october. afaik this was previously exclusive to eu users but they were giving it to a few users outside of it and i was sadly hit by it. doubt people are gonna move to another decent alternative (if there is one)

but my life is kind of a wreck and i don't want to have to talk about it and bum him out...

this is also a thing that i forgot to mention as well. the fear of having a moment of weakness and just dumping whatever stuff has been going on in my own personal life and making them feel like some sort of therapist out of nowhere, which would feel incredibly weird. i believe this is what the kids these days call as "traumadumping"

let's get straight to the point with this. for the longest time i've been meaning to reach out to old friends i haven't had a good chat in years (not too many tho, let's say its been 2-3 years at minimum), but there are a few problems of mine:

a) i am not particularly a good conversation starter. this is probably the biggest one and its something i've looking to improve since like, a long time, as i normally wait for someone to call me out first in order to start things up. sometimes i feel like a simple "hi! its been a while!" isn't enough, and sending some lame stuffpost would probably be even worse. and then there's continuing with the conversation, which shouldn't be as hard, as long as things don't get too awkward, which brings me to my next problem.

b) i have no idea what's going on in their personal life. in the best case scenario they could just still be doing their thing, trying their best to live life, keeping their favourite hobbies in check, etc. it shouldn't be hard as long as their personal interests remain intact for the most part. but if not then things could get real embarassing to keep going, as they're probably not the same person i once met for the first time. if that ever happens i would just shrink into nothingness and just ghost them.

c) they probably won't remember and/or care about me anymore. they could give small signs of interest often, for example: liking a post of mine on social media or a simple share, but those are not significant ways of showing that they still care about me if i am not willing to also try to start a conversation with them (see problem a)

i don't know what to do about this, am i being a little bitch and overthinking this stuff? should i just go with the flow and start with the first thing that comes to mind? do i plan something? or should i just let them be? could use some good advice here

Off Topic / Re: what youtube channels are y'alls favorites

« on: November 19, 2025, 03:27:00 PM »

going to try to name a few others that haven't been mentioned already

machinot - cool little animations with funny women

vrahno - also cool animations but with godzilla & other kaiju stuff this time

leon massey & funke - in-depth videos about videogames & other neat things that also feature cool animation from time to time (noticing a pattern here). these are probably a few of the only "good" video essay youtube channels out there

siivagunner - i could probably write something very funny here but as someone who has been watching this channel since the beginning it's kinda incredible how it has evolved over the years. going from the usual haha funny flintstones gotchas to various collaborations of different mediums & events of such a scale that its genuinely hard to believe. i still wish to one day collaborate on it in some way or another (maybe next year?)

Off Topic / Re: Legit, what's stopping us from using this forum more?

« on: November 07, 2025, 05:24:48 PM »

really well said honestly. lately i've been thinking about writing some essays/reviews on games i've been playing to post here, because no matter whatever website i post on other than here i just don't feel like showing most of my thoughts on public websites with millions of people potentially reading, it kinda makes me nervous. the small amount of activity that's in here makes it a much comfortable place to just babble stuff now that the waters are calmer. i might start working on it by the next year if things go well in life for me.
