Lurker > Nintendo_Porn

Update

They got in touch with me, and was listing all the threads i made there, then saw the relevant ones too, so really hopeful about this. Thanks so much, @SHRlKE

We saw it - thought it was aight, but message of it got lost a bit.

Would like a sequel.

Perhaps you could drop dtoast a dm or raise a feedback ticket and let him know. He seems decent enough he might get an export for you or something.

Thanks for the tip - gave it a shot. Fingers crossed.

Ah. We were having a bad feeling it was a case of a movie playing it's best cards in the trailer.

GF wants to see it on sunday, and sorta interested myself.

To hit her in the back of the skull, and even kick her on the ground makes me want to put him through a wall.

You can't come back from this shit. That doesn't go away.

I was wrong about that, and saw he grabbed her and slammed her down. Still fucked up.

Always feel gross quoting myself. >_>

Single player style

Monster Hunter you better have the right crap on unless you can pull no hit runs.

Elden Ring you die either way, so should go into the coffin looking clean.

Heh. Well at the very least it seems they certainly arent being proactive in reminding people they need to contact support to extend their lifetime subscription.

Even if they did remember they arent going shout it from the roof tops and still try and get people to sign up again. As was your case OP. Good for you for getting them to extend it though.

They really banked on that 5 years, and it has to be working on some not in the know about the game. They are risking class action for this shit.

Better call saul.

Ah. Thanks.

SHRlKE posted...

This is good but the Reddit post shared otherwise shows they arent acting in good faith.

I wouldn't go that far - it was 5 years, and they may have honestly missed/forgot that. Where did you take that IMPORTANT" notif, @King_Rial ?

Hexenherz posted...

Aka, they straight up lied about it and are scamming people but would rather just give you another 5 year license instead of dealing with the hassle of a class action lawsuit.

I wouldn't trust a company that pulls this stuff. Switch over to Proton, way better services and a subscription gets you a lot.

Do they do frequent sales?

I legitimately felt bad when the video got to the part about Fractal losing out on a world's first he realistically deserved to Scooti. After YEARS of theorycrafting and grinding, he gets to watch as someone who wasn't even on anyone's radar a few weeks prior gets to meet the creator of tetris and go on a media tour while Fractal got... nothing. Not to downplay Scooti's skill, but that's still a pretty devastating thing to miss out on.

Wouldn't blame the guy if he was a bitter.

Now, social stack i don't recall, but whatever...got 5 more years! Let's go!!!! Lucky i made this today - You guys are bros for making want to look into it more. The cynical side of me is wondering if they were trying to get away with it, and this was their way out though.

Gonna make sure i note this down.

Ok, went karen, and sent the email to support - fingers crossed.

My GF gave me a standing applause for the letter. >_>

Bass posted...

Yeah, they're full of shit.

I see people have been extending their subscriptions for calling out that BS on there. Perhaps i should try another 5 years going karen on them over the phone. lol

Rika_Furude posted...

its a crime for them to call it a lifetime subscription and then hide in small writing or a description somewhere its only for 5 years. its called false advertising. as in, if they tried to defend themselves in court they would lose

From reddit

It is to infrom you that your account has been expired. In the tech industry, lifetime refers to the life cycle of a software, which is typically 5 years. So, this is the reason why we are offering the deal for 5 years and calling it a lifetime offer.

That's just asking for it.

pnut027 posted...

Hear me out when you bought it, did it have a timeline on it?

Since it was so long ago can't say 100%, but was such a cheap bastard then I was certainly reading/researching before I made that purchase. Wouldn't be surprised if they misled people by making it harder than it now is to see what you're getting.

Giant_Aspirin posted...

.... they sell you a "lifetime" membership that really only lasts five years? what a giant crock

Again, call it what they wish, but if someone doesn't read that's on them if they get complaint refunds. *Shrugs* Won't argue that's grimy.

Oh, forgot to mention - you would think "lifetime" would be "lifetime", but for 5 years they can mislead people who don't read the description, and get complaints if they wish.

Now, are there better vpn deals out there if i want another? Had no complaints about this one, but honestly barely used the extra features, and don't wanna overpay.

Damn.

That's gotta be the best 30 bucks i ever spent - going by date of purchase it was 2019 when it started. Wanna hold out for another special deal like that.

Are there better deals now available? I'm no popular youtuber, but settled my nerves about swatting attempts when I did stream.

Thank you.

There was nothing "bad" in that thread, so wonder when the mods locked it that got deleted.

Excuse the double post.

Board 1061 - Sex and Sexuality was closed recently, but there were threads left there that hold sentimental value to me like my blog traveling to the Netherlands to meet her face to face in 22, and the thread about her passing where I started documenting my grief.

The Guys/Gals there were a big part of helping me through that, and really wish I could record/view those threads.

They were just giving the middle finger to the human limit.

Elden Ring bosses got nothing on Dusk, and Charcoal. lol

Memorial_Bench posted...

Where were the stuff cleared put?
And that's a beautiful picture!

Yes, they did a wonderful job - the space she used to sit at to skype with me also got something special done there IIRC.

Well, I got some keepsakes like the DVDs/Switch/controller, and the rest spread among her family/donated among the group home/charity.

Work smarter, not harder.

^ Thank you. Well as can be hoped.

Rotterdammerung posted...

Im sorry for your loss. Whats Smith-Magenis syndrome?

Think Down Syndrome, but instead of a chromosome missing, some of it deleted at a micro level as i understand it.

Memorial_Bench posted...

They'll still be there right?

No, the parents soon had to clear her room for another person to move in there. As deep as my wounds go having her for 3 years - they had her for 39, so couldn't comprehend how hard that was.

They sadly forgot to take pictures of her room before clearing, so really glad I took that video of her room, and shared it with them over email. Made them happy when I was holding off on that out of fear of opening up wounds.

The group home made a tribute space just for her.

@vycebrand2

Showed him your elaboration, and her dad really loved that too.

Memorial_Bench posted...

That's touching. I have that same feeling looking back at old discs from my childhood.

God knows i wish i could have taken more from her place like her collection of "grey's anatomy", but happy to have gotten that dvd to keep given my emotional state walking around her place. Also, took video. All i wanted was just to sit in her room at that group home, and hold hands with her, but my time over there was so short in 2022 figured i'd do that next time i visited.

vycebrand2 posted...

The meaning behind it for me was just for that little while she was my light when darkness surrounded me. I did what was right because I cared for her. I was treated as the bad guy by many people before and during. I knew for her I was her light when you know your life is coming to a end soon. There's this thing about helping another human being because it's the right thing to do, not because there was something to gain from it. People need to learn this. No matter how bad it is reach out for help there are people who care about you. They will drop everything to help. Not everyone is selfish and seld-centered

Can relate to that - i've grown to detest users, and till my dying day I will always try to help others. Struggle with the whole "giving tree" mentality though, so balance.

Making a difference in someone's life is a grand accomplishment as the world can be such a cruel place.

No one moves forward in life unless someone gives you their move.

@vycebrand2

Shared the thread with her father, and he liked your signature.

There was a rumor they wanted to get Michael Jackson for the pop star in the film, but it was declined. I can totally see MJ singing that song.

Not the only it seems.

https://youtu.be/W_-GUT7qNLA

Not gonna lie - I always tear up at Max's Perfect Cast to save Goofy.

Considering it was a DVD, and she was nostalgic about it i'd imagine so. Quite cool of them to personally label it for her as i've never seen that before.

SHRlKE posted...

Yeah every relationship is different. You wont find someone like Joanna ever again. The good news is you can find people with new things thatll youll hopefully grow to love just as much.

Don't expect to, and love my current gf as much, but i'd do another 30 years alone to meet Joanne again. She unlocked my potential which is something not everyone can do given where my mind was at.

Memorial_Bench posted...

Wow, that looks very well managed! Looks like it's still in its shrink wrap haha

Yeah. Wanted to know who the original gifter was, but parents weren't sure...Wonder if it was her BFF.

SHRlKE posted...

Damn son. I never would have guessed anyone could get that sort of experience out of a LDR. Made me completely reevaluate my feelings of them. Do you think youll ever find someone else in the future? You sound like you have a lot of love to give and it would be a shame not to be able to share that love.

Was very hopeful i could give a positive look into it - it gets a bad stigma, and rightfully so, but lots of people get stronger relationships out of it.

Been in a serious relationship with my neighbor for half a year now. I know enough not to compare the two, but she's like Joanne in eerie ways I couldn't just ignore - they were both the same age/born in 83. Like Joanne did...she's saying i'm the best man she's ever had. Never thought i'd be good at this.

Grateful to have the chance to use what Joanne gave me to make someone else smile as she did.

Memorial_Bench posted...

Her memory will live on

Yeah, last night me and the gf watched one of her fav movies - "bedazzled." Been years since I saw that one. brought some of her DVDs in her room in the netherlands home as keepsakes.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/6/6192957c.jpg

At the top says "For Joanne." Must have been a gift for her. Her parents gave me blessing to take it, and other things to remember her by.

vycebrand2 posted...

My condolences.

I was reading up on it. Didn't seem life threatening. I'm sorry if I Didn't understand.

SMS can cause many complications as a chromosome mutated, but while it may not have been that directly, it did play a role.

vycebrand2 posted...

Might I ask how she passed away.

@vycebrand2

Oops. Missed your message.

Due to the syndrome her health was always in a poor state, and health concerns made visiting me too dangerous for her due to how flying would affect her breathing. Still, she saw a sharp decline in her health, and was hospitalized multiple times for things like pneumonia late 22 going into early 23. Her body just failed on her.

Thank you both so much...if i had to, would do it all over again.

I have young looks, so people still think me in my teens at times. Rather than complain i take in stride if not get an ego boost from it.

Oh yea, Happy Birthday TC

Thank you.

I'll be 37 soon and I got carded for the first time in about a decade, it was awesome. Though I do go to a lot of the same stores.

edit: you should be flattered tc

It strokes the ego, won't lie.

How often do minors get in?

...and I still get carded. >_> some things never change.

Damn man. Sorry to hear that, hope she rests in peace.

Thank you all very much.

KanWan posted...

God bless you, that was a wild ride of a whole hour.

You really loved her and it shows not just in the acts, but the way you speak of her and your time with her.. through hell or high water, as you say.

I think that phrase will stick with me the rest of my life haha

Just realizing now I didn't say the quote right, but whateves. lol. Due to the diagnosis i've become self aware of my tendency to ramble on, and though there's editing done, i'm so surprised that I captivated so many for that hour. Truly a magnum opus. Thanks for watching it!

In the starting stages of the relationship I was so emotional stunted, my reluctance to say things like "I love you" was compensated for with actions/showing it...Figured any idiot could say it over a webcam, but in LDR showing it means more. As I opened up it got easier to say it. Joanne was very patient/dedicated - the dutch tend to be competent at english, but Joanne damn near mastered it over the course of the relationship.

cjsdowg posted... Thank you for being so open about your life and love.

Thank YOU for watching/reading. :)

Rip

Youre a very strong person. Id crumble into madness so fast if anything ever happened to my ol lady :(

I came...pretty damn close. It took me making that video to realize how much i made her final days instead of being bitter i lost my first love like that.

Bass posted...

RIP. I'm glad you were able to be a bright spot in her life.

The honor was all mine, so i'm glad too. No one should ever underestimate the difference you can make in someone's life.

Thanks.

She went through alot, so hope she is at peace.

I replied to your original topic last year and I hope you're doing well! There have been two women in my life who I used to regularly play Animal Crossing with and we always had so much fun. Thanks for bringing awareness!

Thanks for the reply. I've been doing very well, and even talked with her family today - so nice to be recognized as one of their own.

With that, and the support of my current love i feel very blessed. Hope Joanne can see me now.
