Hello! Obviously, I don't really post on any forums that much anymore. I occasionally lurk but that's about it. I just had a recent life change happen that explains a lot in my life that I've struggled with and couldn't understand why. To back track, I went on mental health leave from my job in December. I was unraveling fast mentally and couldn't be there anymore. I started doing Instacart full time while I was on leave and that's become my primary source of income now. I formally left my job in February. Anyway, during all that I started seeing a therapist to and get an actual diagnosis outside of I'm just depressed/anxious. After a lot of talking and testing, I've been diagnosed with autism. It's obviously of the high functioning variety, but it greatly impacts my social skills, communication and being self righteous about my ways being right. Who knows, maybe if I had this diagnosis much earlier in life I wouldn't have made as many social mistakes and been such an asshole at times. Sometimes I couldn't even understand why I did the things I did, but turns out I'm literally autistic. ????? It's been fascinating thinking back on my life with this new perspective and trying to figure out what moments my autism actually played a role in. Anyway, don't expect me to be around a lot more suddenly, I just thought I'd share this update as I'm more than positive this newly learned about trait of mine impacted my behavior online in many ways, starting with people here. That doesn't forgive my actions and behaviors, but maybe gives new insight to them instead. Ok that's all!

Something involving video production, ideally editing. I've always been interested and dabbled before but never went into it in too much detail. You know I've been desperate for a career change for years but nothing really appealed enough to kick me into action. Just came to me a few months ago, I've done a bit of reading in what is available in terms of work and study, my plan right now is: - Get badass PC (done). - Start making short films and edits in my spare time (begins today!) - Enrol in a night class (enrolled for August already). - If I take to it and I'm this motivated by the end of the year, I'll apply for the full-time 2 year TV production course which covers everything - direction, editing, production, sound production, etc. Giving me the best base to find a career at the end of it. Scary stuff, I might get to the end of the year and decide it's nothing more than a hobby but that's my aim right now. I'm deeply, deeply unhappy with my career.

I guess I can try this thing again Haha, I was looking through the emojis, oh the memories

I would attempt this but I don't want to risk it - chances are any song (as in actual mainstream chart single) I would think of as being from the last 10 years would actually turn out to be from 2005 or something, and I can't handle that right now.

We had a thread about gaming regrets at DBZ Center way back, I think maybe Dez started it... that sounds about right. Surely we all have things we regret, whether it's money wasted on shitty games, games we missed out on because of decisions that are questionable in hindsight (ie, picking one console over another), games we were late to the party on, the list goes on. And a lot of time has passed since we last looked back on our regrettable decisions, so those of us who responded to the original thread probably have new regrets to share. Of course it's perfectly fine to rehash the old regrets too I'll get the ball rolling: Even though I still for some reason have a soft spot for the Game Gear, I wish I hadn't agreed to give away my Game Boy + games in order to get a Game Gear. That damn colour screen was just too tempting

Trading in my PS1 RPG's for new PS2 games when I was 15. We're talking about Suikoden II, Valkyrie Prfoile, both Lunar's, ect... As for a buying regret, Fable will be the biggest one for me. Bought the game at full price and 100% the game in 12 hours....

Hell of a live show. I had such a blast. I was actually super close for my main seats. Almost directly across from the entrance and only about 10 rows behind, just above the floor seats. Tickets were only 20 bucks, but I think that's because the long camera was right in front of us and got in the way of the action occasionally. It didn't detract from the experience at all. Haven't watched on TV, but I think the only bad part of the show was that Nightmare Collective bit. The execution was a bit forced, the crowd was mostly confused, and the crowd chanted, "What just happened?" at the end of it, which I assume was during the commercial break. The most confusing thing about that segment to me was the fact that they seemed to completely forget about Kris and Shida, and they both just...disappeared, with no real circumstances surrounding it. Other than that, the show was a blast. I see the broadcast had audio issues, but the crowd was hot as hell for the opening match and Rey Fenix. I think the best moment for me came before the main event. I had some friends from out of town who had farther back seats with a lot of empty spots, so I went to sit with them for the middle portion of the show. But I wanted to close for Moxley. Well, I started heading back to my seat for the main event, but a bunch of people were gathered around the entrance to my seating area. Turns out that was where Mox was making his entrance, so I got to watch him hype himself up in the hallway, then follow roughly behind him for his entrance. Fucking badass. I'll try to post pics/videos later

The GameCube was great! I wince a little over the Wii U, but we still got a heck of a lot out of Mario Kart 8 before it was released on Switch, and now that there are so many good games on Switch it'd have more to compete with now anyway. I'm more annoyed that MK8 Deluxe didn't include more of the old courses or characters, even in DLC form. It feels like they need to do a Smash Bros Ultimate with the next MK game.
