@RogerRoger It was an absolutely heroic effort to manage the screenshot comp while going through all that at home. Have a good Christmas and see you on the other side!
Good job, Parappa. You can go on to the next stage now.
Epic tagging of well-wishers there, just to say thanks for all your... well, your well-wishes!
Hope you all had great weeks, whatever you believe or celebrate, and that this finds you happy, healthy and enjoying whatever you're currently playing!
It's good to be back!

@nessisonett Thanks! Yeah, poor Festive Sonic was about to outstay his welcome, so I figured I'd get ahead of the curve (plus, y'know... me, Star Wars, etcetera, etcetera)!
@Ralizah It's getting there, thanks! You're right about 2020. I'm pleased to see you surviving it, too!
"We want different things, Crosshair. That doesn't mean that we have to be enemies."
@RogerRoger The state I live in has the highest density of new infections per capita in the nation, and our cowardly governor still won't order a mask mandate, so we'll see how long that lasts.
@Ralizah Your satirical sarcasm shows me that you're one of the smart ones, so I can worry less. You know the score, so I'm confident you'll be able to stay safe in the coming months. Besides, the place wouldn't be the same without you!

@RogerRoger Great to see ya back. Funnily enough, I spent Christmas watching Star Wars with my uncle, so your avatar feels appropriate.

@Thrillho Thanks, and same to you (the sentiment, not the GIF)!
@DerMeister Good to be back, thank you! As much as it isn't a particularly "Christmassy" thing, many tend to gravitate towards Star Wars during the holidays. I hope you and your uncle enjoyed it!
"We want different things, Crosshair. That doesn't mean that we have to be enemies."
@RogerRoger Oh, we loved Star Wars for years. My uncle's actually old enough to have seen the original movies in theatres!

@RogerRoger Good to see you've made your return and I wish you and your partner all the best. Sorry to have read about your brush with 2020. Hope all is well or at least headed in that direction.
And you're right, what is it with the holiday season and Star Wars? They just fit, don't they.

@RogerRoger sorry I totally missed your exit and re entry. Sorry to hear about your partner, I hope he's doing ok and I hope that you both had a nice (or at least acceptable) christmas!
Thanks, folks! Real kind of you and yeah, my partner should be fully recovered soon (providing he actually follows the advice being given to him, of course!).
Also yeah, no idea why Star Wars is such a holiday thing! It certainly can't be the fault of that dreaded Holiday Special nightmare from 1978. I think it helps that Disney has been releasing its new movies and TV shows in the winter months (a trend set to continue next year, with The Book of Boba Fett coming December 2021). That being said, the originals and prequels were summer blockbusters so... dunno, maybe it's a toy thing? Bizarre!

I know I'm fairly new here, and I doubt the regulars know me. I've sort of just inserted myself into this community. And even so, I don't really post that much. But I feel like posting something for that very fact - this is genuinely the only online community I'm part of. I don't really do forums or boards, or reddit. I'm not the internet's biggest fan. I browse a select number of sites daily and check the news, but I never engage. But you guys seemed sound so I took a leap of faith.
Anyway... I'd like to be able to slot right back in and talk about all things PS, (and Bond with @RogerRoger). We've got a great future ahead with what I'm sure will be standout games.
I've hit a rather low and difficult point in my break up. Mentally I'm just not coping. No divorce papers yet, but I'm sure that'll be fun. Looking forward to that! (But luckily no kids). Lockdown is making it harder for me too. I'm stuck inside, albeit not with her, but it just means I can't go to my favourite cafe, or go for walks to certain places, or go to the gym. I'm just stuck with the sound of silence and my brain. Not a good combination.
I'm currently really at a loss at what to do or how to manage, but maybe I need to go silent as I try to deal with this. I'll probably still lurk and laugh at the discussions you guys have, and for the sake of my mental wellbeing I hope I'm able to come back soon.
Cheers for being cool. Don't forget me, even though you never knew me!
