The "I'll be gone for _______" topic.

[ChaosVortex]

This is unrelated to all the spam bots recently, but I have to make this announcement.

I'm moving on, and I'm leaving. Probably permanantly, if not I might check up very rarely.

Basically, I'm pretty much done with video games, my past life, and I want to do something better with it. I can't handle what's going on right now, because literally my life has gone down the tubes and it needs fixing. I would say "I'll be on facebook", but I've decided to deactivate it because of my own personal problems. I'll probably activate it sometime in the long far future.

I still plan on finishing my Mega Man X7 playthrough (I've already beaten it, I just have to add my commentary), but as soon as that's done, consider that my silent adios.

Besides, as much as Mega Man is a childhood character for me, I need to act more like an adult now. Inafune left Capcom, so as of right now, there's no need to really be a fan anymore. I can put my money elsewhere that's more worthwhile.

So yeah. When the time comes, this is me saying "later".

[Chron]

No.
Wait. Stop.

Don't go.

[ChaosVortex]

... I love you too.

[Johncarllos]

Bye bye. We'll miss you.

[Majikn]

After a drinking party you woke up naked next to a weird guy in a Mega Man costume.

That's pretty much your hit-bottom breaking point. "I gotta fix my life," and all that. Your mind is so disgusted with your actions that you could not possibly regurgitate the same thought processes that have brought you to this horrible conclusion. The change is instant. It is almost miraculous. You're a different person now. You need to show them who you are.

Go get gone, then. I don't care. At all. Bye.

*hides in a corner and weeps*

[ASR]

Aw, Chaos! It's already pretty empty here now... don't make it emptier!

[Snare]

There's nothing left.

[TheRedPriest]

Hope it all works out for you son, but in regards to one thing, enjoying something you liked when a child doesn't keep you from being an adult, and conversely disassociating yourself from it doesn't make you an adult.

Adios!

[Slugkid]

Aww. We'll miss you.
Take care!

[ASR]

To be completely honest, I actually think that going out of your way to distance yourself from things you enjoyed as a child... is actually a very immature thing to do.

But this is MMM! We're not ones to pass judgment on anything!

[Majikn]

As much as that's true, he's not "going out of his way" exactly. It's just part of the road. You don't say "I'm done with video games but I'm gonna keep my Mega Mans." Sometimes people need that change. It's not immature if you're getting rid of something that may be negatively affecting your life.

It's true that people still drink alcohol, and learn to do so in moderation, but someone coming back from an addiction might never WANT to have another drink ever again. And that's okay, because there's so many different ways to enjoy life.

[Chron]

So you're saying that he was addicted to Megaman.

I mean I know what all this is about and I'm OK with the fact that he's trying to get away from things.

...

... but seriously you guys chaos has gone bananas to the extreme

[Majikn]

I'm saying I think we're all pretty much addicted to something, so I don't see it as a hugely bad thing unless it's having a negative effect on your life. I brought in that angle from my own experience, so it's not a judgemental thing I'm spewing. It does happen to people.

It's not really a huge leap when hearing "I want to fix my life" and "I'm abandoning these things" to think that they're connected. If I was wrong I'm sorry.

[ASR]

I'm addicted to loving you guys.

Oh no, I think what you had to say was quite nice, and definitely has a not of truth in many instances.

I'm saying that from my personal point of view it doesn't really apply here.  (To chaos I'm sure it does... complete POV thing)
But then I'm a professional asshat so take that as you will.

[Johncarllos]

Chaos isn't going to read these comments for years, guys.

Until he breaks down and visits the site out of habit in like 2 seconds.

[ChaosVortex]

Like I said, I still want to finish my MMX7 Let's play just for the sake of completion and then I just want to break out.

Pretty much, what Majikn said was spot on. I've defined myself into a person who in the long run, I don't really like and I want to change that for the better. I might post something in the Creation Station or something if I ever feel like it, but my involvement in some things just isn't building me up into someone I want to be.

I don't want to get into much detail about it, but I'll just say for the longest time, I've wanted to break out and be more mature and productive with my life. I was just too stubborn to actually do anything about it, because it's much easier to enjoy what you've got than to actually work on anything. I'm backed into a point in my life now where everything I used to enjoy I either enjoy it drastically less or not at all anymore. The things I WANT to do are either unavailable or inaccessible and it just feels I have nowhere to go. Too be perfectly blunt, I feel like I have absolutely no worth or value at all.

If you haven't guessed it, yeah, I'm depressed. It's something that I could have fixed long ago, but I wanted other people or other resources to either substitute or fix it themselves. The Matrix is unfortunately one of those things. I've spent way too much on this website and related things that I now consider "a huge waste of time". I'm probably not going to be around much when the time comes, and if I ever stop by, it might be a post in my creation topic but I wouldn't count on it, it's just a thought.

[Abominator]

I was away in Tenerife for 2 weeks, but I'm back now...!

[White Shadow]

Tenerife is nice. Or it was 10ish years ago. 'cept for the cockroaches in the street.

[Mikero]

Did you go because their flag is almost the same as yours?

I've used up 99% of my Tenerife knowledge right there.

I was away in Barbados for a week, but I'm back now...!

[ASR]

That belongs in the "I was gone for ______" topic.

[Mikero]

Yeah, ABE!

[Johncarllos]

Whoa whoa whoa, I made this topic.
I could always make a new one
