Hello, it's me, Chris.

I turned 36 years old on the 14th of this month and boy my life has been a bit of a ride since... well, since I first came here 20 years ago!

I have a lot of health problems, a lot of mental health problems, a lot of relationship problems, and also I am not a very good dancer.

But I am keeping those vague unless someone asks, because I don't want to trauma dump/overshare.

However, I have been feeling much better after a revamp of my medication, a reinvigorating of my self-respect, and some very difficult and at times tragic conversations with people who expressed love for me but who did not show it in their actions in a manner that satisfied my new status as 'Not a self-loathing piece of shit."

Plus, when all else fails board 8 has always been here to pick me back up. But, in a twist, kind of feel like I did that myself this time and that's nice, so this topic is a daily 'whatever the fuck I am doing, or want to say, I'll say it.' had an AI topic and I beat the first game, but then I got distracted which is fine. I liked the distractions, but a singular topic for me isn't going to go well. I also see BOLO and SHINE and LEON have their own topics. So here's mine.

Also I am easy to find on board 8, I hope if I don't post once a day at some point someone will poke me on discord and ask 'hey are you ok' because if I forget this topic and it's like 10pm I probably didn't have a good day, and I could use a friendly reach out. Whoo not allowing myself to isolate by being vulnerable with my chosen community.

On the docket of life:

I am in 3 mafia games, but I can talk about 0 because that's how mafia works. Having fun though!
I am in between Anime, here's a mostly accurate MAL list if you want to suggest something. I prefer dubs so I can multitask easier but a good Subbed anime is ok.

I also love manga and other types of web based comics, suggestions there are cool as well.

I am currently a weekend raider in WoW and I spend time every day crafting items for people for gold. It's satisfying and pleases a part of my brain to do this while I work on other things.

I am usually either listening to political youtubers or random assortments of music when I am doing things. I have been homebound for awhile now due to not feeling well enough to go out a lot but today I went for a 30 minute walk, worked up a sweat in the Georgia heat, and feel tired but good! Major progress for me.

Video games wise besides Warcraft I started Tales of Arise but got distracted by the things I don't regret, but when I feel like playing my PS4 that's next up.

Oh, and I'd love it if we could establish some sort of board 8 group to play games from like 7pm-2-3am on like, a random Friday at least once a month or maybe more. Or other days that aren't weekends work really well for me! @red13n @Leafeon13N expressed an interest in getting people together, so if anyone reading this likes hanging out with the both of us you should see if you're down for some internet game stuff. I miss doing that.

Oh, and I am also looking for steady employment because money sucks right now, see 'health and mental health issues' and 'US policy on healthcare' in your local library for more details, so if anyone who reads this knows of something involving writing and editing or could put in a word, feel free to let me know. I am apparently unskilled at finding work, or applying to jobs that fit what I want to do is actually a literal hell and people don't want to pay a living wage. This or that.

Okay that's it for now. For those who want to chat with me about whatever, hello. If we're old friends glad to see you, and if we haven't really interacted much or just saw me being a random weirdo, come say hello. I am not as tough as I have made myself seen in the past tbh, I wore a lot of armor here and elsewhere because I have been hurt a lot in my life. Trying to undo that, and since Board 8 is my internet home, this is an amazing place to continue that journey.

Also I'm Bi. That doesn't really matter and maybe everyone knew I forget, but I have a little pride flag thing on MU so I thought to tell everyone here. Also don't mind they/them or he/him pronouns at all. Complicated stuff, but it is fun to know more about yourself.

Bye for now.
