@JohnnyShoulder you do right I’d never look at such a thing personally, Chinese whispers and doom sayers , get in your bubble that keeps you feeling good and stay there

@JohnnyShoulder Good call. Scaring yourself is only useful when it corrects troublesome behaviors. Beyond that, best to focus on the positive and hope for the best.
@JohnnyShoulder you are not alone bro. In fact this can be the jetty for a massive online gaming sesh! Turning the negative into a positive. You got a microphone?

@JohnnyShoulder Obviously the whole situation is making everyone anxious to be fair so I dont blame you. That said, the vast, vast, vast majority of us will get through this just fine.
@themcnoisy I'm down for some online gaming, don't mind buying the peoples favourite if neccessary, anything but bloody Rocket Leauge though! Think I have my mic from the Destiny days somewhere, might be covered in dust and jam.
*Streets of Rage 4 could be out sooner than we think, we have to get on that for sure.
Have you ever played FF14? Only ever dipped my toe in - could be worth a punt.

@themcnoisy lol did you write that before I edited my post? No Rocket Leauge, for the love of god!
Yeah, I did sub for a couple of months, honestly I didn't love it - could certainly be more fun with a dedicated party, though. I'd give it another go if anyone fancies.
It is crazy that the coronavirus thread has more reply than the PlayStation five off topic when we’re all here to essentially discuss PlayStation gaming. I’m going to keep my random commenting however unhelpful as I need the social contact at the moment.
It has nothing to do with the corona and everything, but these last days I am just feeling so strange. Maybe some noticed my engagement here has dipped a lot, even though I'm home 24/7. I guess there's some kind of weird struggle in the inside of my brain (something Psychonauts). Anyway, I appreciate all of you. For now, I'll just be going to bed now and hope stuff is better tomorrow.
@RogerRoger I'd love to play against/with you someday!
@Kidfried Aww, thanks! And I you! Although you should totally go for "against" as my limited skillset would doubtless ensure your glorious victory!
As for you feeling strange, I'm sorry to hear that (and had noticed your absence a bit, not that there's anything wrong with stepping away for a while if your head / heart isn't in it). Brains are weird. They can pull the most random of nonsense on us, at the most unexpected of times, and it can take a while to nail down any specific causes, or even recognise both sides of any internal struggle. Of course, those of us receptive to anxieties or general moods can't help but be aware of the heightened tension currently covering the world, so it might be having an influence, even on a subconscious level.
But that isn't to try and excuse or explain anything you might be feeling at the moment. Take time for yourself. Do something fun. Play a game you love, watch a movie that makes you laugh, listen to music that makes you cry. Feed your soul whilst allowing your brain to reboot and de-frag itself in the background; only then might it come up with some answers.
We'll still be here when you feel like posting again, and if you need anything, just yell.
Hope you sleep well, g'night!

@Kidfried No, thank you for taking the time to write that and tag me with it. Just knowing that some of my random words have helped a friend in some small way... well, it means a lot. You're awesome!
"We want different things, Crosshair. That doesn't mean that we have to be enemies."
@RogerRoger They're not random words. You're very good at putting thoughts and emotions into words, way better than I do at least. That's why they're this helpful.
@Kidfried That's real kind of you to say, thank you!
Despite this apparent reputation for eloquence, I just went looking for an appropriate gaming-related GIF to better illustrate my appreciation. Unfortunately, this led to me typing "Sonic the Hedgehog hug" into Google and so now you'll have to excuse me, because I need to go bleach my eyes.
But hey, the thought was there.
"We want different things, Crosshair. That doesn't mean that we have to be enemies."
@Dzhizus Its strange, but each of your posts contains a link to a weird website, except this one, and another that you edited 2 months after originally posting. Are you a sophisticated spam bot?
@Dzhizus Sorry to hear your relationship hasn't worked out, and that the break-up had that effect on you. It might seem redundant to note this, but the feeling you've described is never nice. I hope it passes soon, and that you and your ex-boyfriend are able to keep things amicable.
Remember, the events in our lives don't define us. It's how we respond to them that matter. Try to stay classy, keep your chin up, and be as dignified as possible about the whole thing.
"We want different things, Crosshair. That doesn't mean that we have to be enemies."
Breaking up is never easy. It feels like the end of the world, but trust me, it's not. I've been there, felt that deep pain and it's really rough. But remember, we are strong people, and life goes on. Surround yourself with positive people and hobbies, and give yourself time to heal.
I also had a traumatic breakup two years ago that led to severe depression. After 6 months, I consulted some psychiatrists in NYC and started individual therapy sessions, focusing on understanding my emotions, rebuilding my self-esteem, and setting personal goals. If you feel that depression encompasses you, do not hesitate to seek professional help.
