Are you still living with your parents/family?
  • Yeah, I was going to move now that I have a steady job but now we just got the news that my dad's condition is worsening, and, since it's just my parents and me, I'm gonna stay to help. Thank goodness for remote work.

  • What good things are going on with your weekend?
  • I got a good deal on a projector that I used to set up a home theater in the basement complete with ambient lighting, couches, and even a mini fridge. Now, I'm just waiting for the weekday to start so I can go to the store to pick up the cords I need for the sound system. Been playing my PS5 on it and it looks amazing!

  • If you don't work IT, retail, or food service what do you do for work?
  • I'm a storyboard artist/3d generalist. Basically I draw all day, everyday for short films and TV shows. I find it pretty awesome because A) I love to draw and now I get paid to do it which is, from what I understand, very uncommon for artists. B) I'm helping shape a story from basically beginning to end. C) I also get to do silly voices sometimes when they need someone to fill in.

    But, a big downside is that I'm sitting and staring at a screen around 6 to 7 hours a day which destroyed my eyes and I get leg strain sometimes from sitting. I want to get a stand up desk eventually.

  • What is your favorite time of the year?
  • It's cliche but Christmas. There's just something about hearing Christmas music, seeing the snow falling from the sky, the gatherings, watching Christmas movies. It just makes me feel nice inside

  • Simple question: Are you a nice person?
  • I try to be when I can muster up the courage to speak. I've always been taught to treat others like how you want to be treated and since I can't handle people yelling and screaming I try to avoid that altogether. Even if you're mean to me, I'll try to be nice or I just don't say anything.

  • You're a time traveler, what would you do if you went back in time to make the most of it?
  • I would go back in time to simply observe and document from afar. Sneaking a pic of historical moments or past times such as what types of games the Roman's would hold in the coliseum. An ancient bazaar filled with people buying food and things they need. Ancient Greece in its glory. A real samurai. Times Square the moment World War II ended. And, of course I'd take some souvenirs along with me to. An ancient coin. Some authentic mead. A brand new first Gen Apple Macintosh. A Mr. Fusion for fuel for my time machine if its possible to go forward in time. Any money I'd make from my journeys would simply go to funding my journey to see everything that we've done and what we're going to do.

  • What is a song you wanted to find again for a long time, but it gave you no clear clue about how to search for it?
  • I remember listening to a metal song while I played my Xbox 360 back when i was in high school. Even back then I never knew the title since I stole it from my sister's computer. Recently I've been racking my head against the wall trying to find it again and I kept googling one lyric I remember but it coming up as Purple Rain by Prince which was way off from the songs genre. I tried everything from trying to recreate the song on the piano, asking friends, googling and more googling. Eventually I just gave up until I watched a youtube video about metal songs without the metal. And, by PURE COINCIDENCE the song was in the video.

    It was Walk by Pantera.

  • What are you up to instead of what you wish you were doing?
  • Glad you're feeling better. I can't quite say the same but I know it's a process. So, after hearing that maybe I'll try it out. Get some coffee somewhere outside of the house, walk. If you can do it then I can do it

  • What are you up to instead of what you wish you were doing?
  • Playing game on my pc. I'd rather be doing something I haven't done before like go drinking all night, travel, go sight seeing, hell, even have sex. Literally anything other than sit at this computer

  • Why so many men like to play with a female character?
  • For me it's because of the style options. The hair and clothes style options are much more diverse than what you can do for the male V and, since I like women, look much better on the female V in my opinion.

  • Classic memes from the early 2000s

    The longer I'm stuck in this world the more I understand why villains in movies want to destroy it.

    It's been almost 8 months since I graduated Uni. No one wants to hire a student with no experience. Been living in my parents basement for all that time. Been working nearly every single day trying to better myself for a job to no avail. Been drowning in debt for nearly 10 years. Mom hasn't been able to work due to health problems. Dad just diagnosed with the worst possible disease you can think about so he can't work. It all falls to me to work. Family had to resort to a social assistance to pay the basics requirement for bills. Owe Sister and aunts money. All my friends have moved away or too busy to talk or do anything. Last meaningful relationship, which entails just talking and doing nothing more, was about 5 years ago. And no matter what I do, who I turn to for help, how much I kill myself trying to get a job, how much I try to better this situation, it all ends up with another rejection email, another message left on read, another email with no response, and more debt that I can never repay back.

    Yeah, I get why villains want to destroy the world in movies. The world sucks, everyone sucks, there's no good people in this world. Miracles don't exist, dreams are just imaginary, everyone doesn't care about you or what you're going through.

    And like everything else I've tried doing to help, this won't get any attention. It seems like the universe forgot I existed or just made me to torment me. Because it just seems that I'm just a shadow in a dark place.

    Forgotten and alone.
