For what it’s worth, this forum takes too much of my time and energy. I know the regulars here will criticize me for what I’m about to do. I know that two years from now, someone will say something like, “Remember when darth_ender took his ball and went home?” Regardless, I think I should just give greater energy to real life and stop wasting it trying to be friends with Internet people, especially people who really don’t care. Overall, it’s been a pleasant seven-ish years, people. I’m sure I’ll continue to read the threads I care about. I am just going to log out on all my devices and don’t intend to log back in much if ever again. Thank you for the enjoyable interactions. I mean that sincerely.

The fact that this thread exists indicates that there is some truth to it, and the fact that it gets bumped periodically by different people reflects that the sentiment is shared at times and not based on an isolated incident. While I enjoy your humor and think you are generally a great guy, I think your greatest weaknesses are: 1) an ardent refusal to admit that you were wrong or a contributor to a problem;

Disagree.

2. a need to perpetually harass members who have wronged you instead of letting the conflict die off;

You’ll pay for that.

3. dismissiveness towards this who disagree with you instead of respect for their perspectives;

[eyeroll]

4. defensiveness when your flaws are pointed out;

Not true!

and 5) insensitivity to others’ sensibilities while maintaining extreme sensitivity to your own.

I hate Mormons.

I’d love to read a reply from you that doesn’t demonstrates one of these.

Dammit.

Lol! Well played.

JEDIT- I didn’t realize that this thread had grown 4 pages in one day…

The X-Wing/TIE Fighter series for PC were the best Star Wars games ever.
They could easily be remade and outdone now. Why nobody’s doin’ it is beyond me.

I wonder if EA would see enough profit in making a game that was as flight-based as those were.

I dunno, but it’s good to see you back around!

I’d like to see something like Clerks in a Galaxy Far, Far Away…
No tie-in to any characters we’ve seen before. No action scenes. Just a comical look at the day in the life of some guys at work and the customers and existential crises they deal with.

I can’t wait for this to be announced but it turns out to be set at that diner in AotC. 😛

Oh man… And that waitress-bot keeps asking everyone if they’d like a glass of freshly juiced jawa… *shudder*

I dig the cruiser. I think it has the Star Wars '77 look.

This is great, guys. I Just Can’t Get Enough.

I missed who said that. What’s Your Name?

Ask me tonight while you’re Dreaming of Me.

I’d rather ask you after the Boys Say Go!

Either ask when I say to or Enjoy the Silence.
I’m not Flexible on this subject.

1 demerit for repeating a title.
1 demerit for switching albums too frequently.

Looks like you committed the Big Muff.

I won’t stand for these Blasphemous Rumors.

Somebody once told you People are People.

Oh, ray_afraid is playing the game right and just made me very happy!

I’m glad Somebody appreciates me!

The last time a group of people tried to guess my age (in person), they guessed 24.
It was a few months ago and I couldn’t have been happier.

People tend to think I’m in college and it always makes me happy to hear it.

I think we appreciate it for opposite reasons.
Or are you older than I think?

I’d like to see how many people that kid in Florida could have killed with a steak knife before other students took him down.
I’m guessing none. One kid gets stitches, kid with knife gets the shit kicked out of him.
Much better story than the real one.

Green parrot with grey beak making robot sounds?

Much better! Good one.

Possibly Black Panther.
Had no interest, but the latest Half in the Bag from RLM might have just sold a ticket.
Would be the first time a review has sent me to the theater.

^ Same here.
When it was announced, I was sure I wouldn’t be seeing it. Not out of silly protest, but lack of interest. But the promos n’ such have won me over.
I’ll be there opening day. Haven’t said that since TPM…

That’s cool!

Is it cheating if I already know how old I am?
Or if I call my mom for help?
It just doesn’t seem like a fun game.

I really hope Jerry Seinfeld gets Hannibal Buress on Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee.

I so seldom have time to post here these days that, again, I feel like I am never able to craft a nicely worded and individualized post for those of you going through hard times. Just know that I hope all of you realize your worth and make it through your difficult times, or that health comes to you and/or your family members. Hang in there, my friends.

Thanks, ender.
Even though I’m here all the dang time, I still feel like I can’t put together anything that doesn’t sound distant and hollow. But I do care about you all. And I do wish the very best for each of you.
You guys make my life better. Sounds corny, but this place is a big emotional help in my life. So, thanks to all of you for being who you are.
