So 5 years ago woulda been shortly after i went back to college after being a depressed pothead for a few years working on programming a graphics and physics engine.
So yeah, went back to school found a passion for theater and changed my major from robotics (during this time i was briefly living out of my truck and working nearly full time at the library while taking a full schedule of classes.) Transferred to one of the top universities in the world and thanks to financial aid and co-op housing had a really great (and affordable) time just being a student, graduated with highest honors.
Pandemic kinda forgeted things cause live performance closed down the year I graduated but even before I graduated I directed and acted a bunch and now things are opening up again I've been resuming directing and acting, and am going to be in my first lead role in a non-university based production this summer. I've also had a couple of kids (which has slowed the acting and directing stuff a bit but its worth it), broke my pot habit, and am pretty well settled for the first time in my life, doing art and writing and theater.
Everyone finds success at their own pace. Things might suck now, but there's always hope. It might take more work to find the opportunities looking for scholarships or finding the assitance programs you need to get on your feet, and I have to say im fortunate as forget to be a white, straight-passing, able-bodied male, cause I wouldnt have had nearly as many people offering me help especially when I was homeless and trying to go to school and needed an address so I could apply for jobs etc.
But yeah. TL;DR grew up into an actual person.

As an individual who was personally targeted by groomers on these forums, I am indeed saddened to see that Brickadia has in the past suffered these same perpetrators (who had originally come from these forums). I feel confidence, however, in how rapidly these perpetrators were removed from the Brickadia community, especially in comparison to users like Bisjac who have posted on these forums as recently as a couple months ago.
I do not appreciate you making light of such a serious topic, and am not sure what the brickadia staff has done to you to warrant this continued grudge. From what i've seen the most frequent complaint against it's staff is that it is too strict about removing offensive content/users which is a weird dissonance.
This line of conversation, however, is getting away from the topic of this thread, being the problematic behavior of the Blockland community forums.
[Edit]I feel the need to apologize for being so antagonistic, Kanye, as I do not know your personal experience with members of the brickadia community, and I do not wish to invalidate any feelings of abuse you felt you received by it. I, personally, have found the community to be more proactive against intolerance and abusive behavior, but I admit that I have only recently been playing the game and much of the community is currently away from the game while awaiting EA. If there are other offending members that you know of I would appreciate knowing who they are so I can do my part by preventing them from joining any of my own servers.

« on: March 02, 2023, 03:36:26 PM »if you look down on grooming i might not look forward to brickadia if i were you, has had and still continues to have its fair share of thatThe individuals were quickly removed from the community, as opposed to here in BL where we have people like bisjac posting as recently as a few months ago.
I personally enjoy the brickadia's community united stand against bigotry and promotion of tolerance that I had never really felt here.

« on: February 22, 2023, 12:24:45 AM »
Ive been posting recipes I've been making to the Creative channel on brickadia discord, but I haven't yet collated into one place.
Here was tonight's recipe, however:

Chicken Taco Avocados
I don't really know what's taco about it besides the seasoning.
It's actually a pretty bizarre dish, you broil it in the skin of a hollowed out avocado then add the avocado back in the form of a lime-avocado-ranch topping.
Utterly strange yet it has been a consistent hit every time we have guests over.
So if you want to try something different:

Huh, I cannot seem to find them in the brickadia discord, and they do not seem to have the server as a mutual?
Maybe they've been removed since you've taken those images I hope.

Pie Crust#1852 id 249264311401316352any references I've found searching for their presence seem to point towards a deleted user. I don't know what actions had been taken but I'm glad to see they are not a part of the brickgame community. Are they going by a different name now that I missed?

I am glad you recognize the harm in such toxic behaviour.
Your ironic:
I know that random strangers telling you to kill yourself should be taken lightly, but it will not always be, especially by those already disposed to depression or the impressionable children that come to a game thinking they are joining a community to build legos with other kids.
Your ironic:
damn, nvm those forum rules have me feeling edgyHad me thinking you held quite a different opinion due to the implicit "its ok if the forum admin does it".

« on: January 16, 2023, 09:38:52 AM »i'm not homophobic or sensible jeez dude.ah that's on me for being unspecific as I was discussing two separate conversations at once. Drendran was the one trying to say that non-cishet folks don't experience any discrimination. My main qualm for you was the whole "telling people to kill themselves should just be treated as normal" thing. Sorry for my ambiguous wording.

« on: January 16, 2023, 08:59:09 AM »sampapa's things to do in blockland
Omfg those lava spikes in kitchen! Now THAT brings me back. That was the true Blockland experience.
Myself I found the game shortly after getting my first laptop for Christmas in 2005. I had Civilization already but I wanted a Lego game like Backlot or that one pizza game so I decided to google Lego Game Download or something like that and found this.
