I feel like CE is like radiation for mental health. Everything here is so combative. Everyone hates everything. Anything funny as at the expense of others. People just assume the worse intentions of others.

This kinda environment is really not good. Whether you think youre being affected or not.

This place definitely made me become a more impatient and spiteful person, which I hate to admit. I learned a lot, but after taking about a month break from this place, my life immediately improved. I grew more appreciative of family and friends. I put myself out there and found a girlfriend that I think could go the distance. The negative assumptions I had about my job have dissipated. I worked out more consistently. And because of positive factors, I poured all my drinks down the drain. Etc.

I highly recommend if youre going through a rough patch. Or are not happy where you are in life. Try disconnecting for a bit. Not even necessarily just CE. But the internet in general. I didnt know what tf folks were talking about with that submarine business, but my mental health improved immediately.

I feel like for most people, it's kind of a thing where what you put in is what you get. If one is argumentative all the time or looks out for every kind of downer topic to post in and revel in the sadness or just trolls and shit posts all day it can affect them negatively. I try to have some sort of balance. I post in a lot of political topics, but I also do in many other kinds of topics whether it's about gaming, movies, shows, or whatever. I try to be at least somewhat positive.

It's fine for me personally >_> At the end of the day, CE is such a bunch of randos on an anonymous video game message board on the internet. It really isn't that deep all things considered, and I just come here to have fun and maybe blow off steam if I had a rough day at work. But I get that some people might take that shit more seriously and put more stock into it I guess >_>

Join Meetup or go speed dating. Even Bumble friends is apparently really good.

Anything in person with live people really helps. Imo.

That or see what other communities are connected to the Smash 64 group.

Remember, if youre fairly satisfied with your life, no need to change anything!

Yes, this is what it is. I'm much better off when I'm able to go on long distance hikes, and I think being cut off from the constant doom-and-gloom news has a lot more to do with it than the message boards.

Its funny. I used to think you were the worst poster on the site. But thinking about it retroactively, I think you have one of the best approaches. Its really not that serious

Never change. Your light-heartedness goes a long way.

This is true. I tried to be a positive change if I ever tried engaging which put me directly in combative situations. Even as a bystander, I tended to notice reactions I viewed as too harsh or ignorant so much more. I think the posters who arent so intentional get the most out of this place.

Exactly. If you just come here to pick fights and argue bullshit that won't even change anything in the end, you're just wasting your time and emotional energy for no good reason imo

You aren't the only one talking about the mental health here - people need to let go of that need to be right, and not use the board as an excuse to talk down to others who don't think like you do. If you can't debate healthy here you damn sure aren't doing it in the real world. Isn't that what got the politics board axed?

Don't use this place as an outlet for your issues, seriously.

There are 2 main groups

  • People who come on here to make light jokes/troll for fun


  • People who virtue signal to feel good about themselves and circle jerk with others


They kinda feed off each other. Its a harmony.

Well, i learned a harsh lesson here, and man enough to admit i was wrong because i should have chose my words better.

People got the idea i wanted to defend pedophilia a couple months back when i brought up there is a difference between pedo and child molesters, and the former statistically are known to have been vics themselves who can't get the help they need due to the stigma...Some live with that yet never harmed a kid, so dangerous to group them together.

I should have said it like that because it's a touchy subject, but i was being dumb, joking about it, and died on a hill...i earned that first warning on this site.

Yeah, I actually have some stances on that and on how we should treat pedophiles who don't act on it, but have too learned the lesson it's not worth discussing because mods simply do not understand context.

If leaving CE improved your mental health that much, it's a clear sign that you were taking this place too seriously to begin with. This place is what you make of it, and I've found a lot of nice interactions with cool people through the years. Enjoying the political and drama threads between people that have been here for decades is mostly just a time waster when you're pooping or waiting in line somewhere.

Y'all just gotta stop arguing with people who you should know at this point are not going to change their opinions. Not worth getting worked up over.

I also learned to not throw myself into every mod complaint topic trying to give any opinion of my own because it just simply isn't fucking worth it.
