#it deletes your profile if you don't use it every like 3 months

[elkian]

I think if a company lets you apply to their job through a dedicated job site (Indeed or w/e), and then messages you to inform you that, ACTUALLY, you need to go to a second site and apply there for the application to Actually Count, we should be able to steal $200,000 from the CEO's bank accounts each time.

I stopped buying from Newcl0ver last year after I saw first hand how greedy they have become. (I use plural pronouns because I refuse to believe Chr1stina is one person.) I had an order in on this bust stand that was per my recollection 3-4 months production time on the product page when I first purchased it. They delete the product pages after preorders so I don't remember. Anyhow, it took way longer than that, I asked them about the order multiple times since I saw people on IG get theirs, and they just kept saying "soon, soon". At 8 months I said I want to cancel. They said that it's ok, but they can only refund me 75% of the price because they will make a loss since they cannot cancel the order to the store and have to resell my order at loss. I agreed if only to be out of it, because I thought it's fair that we share the loss.

Well, a few months later I saw *my* bust stand listed in their "in stock -30% off" category, with my exact order options, and they were asking MORE than I paid during my initial order. I was still able to access my order notes through my profile and check. So I guess that's why they remove the original listings before people get their goods, huh? -30% off? Compared to what? Not the price I paid. I felt like they just scammed me out of 25% of my payment using the pity card and then cashed in some extra on someone else, too.

Their Taobao fees have skyrocketed. A couple years ago, it used to be the price in CNY x 0,19, but now it's already price in CNY x 0,22. One CNY is 0,14 USD so for every dollar you spend in their store, 36 cents go directly into their pocket for just receiving your box and sending it forward. And it's true that the fee includes free standard international shipping to most countries, but still, it's quite a big fee to pay for sending them a ready list of Taobao links and having your stuff drop-shipped to you. The difference in past and current service fees is even more gross considering they used to send monthly 10-15 usd off or 5% off coupons with their newsletters, but no longer do. When I asked them last year why the fees have risen and discounts stopped, they said it's due to the bad exchange rate of CNY to USD. I googled it and while it's true that the rate momentarily fluctuated in 2021-2022, for the past 6 months the exchange rate of CNY-USD has been at the same level as in 2020, so their excuse seems lacking.

I have had several missing items from each of my six large Taobao orders, but I was patient with reminding them about the items because I thought my orders are painfully big (100+ items). But, if you get paid the price you named for your service, is it really on the customer to feel like a burden when you eff up? It was often the expensive items that I had to chase after, too. Like, once when I ordered 30 bags of beads ranging from 1 to 20 dollars, it was the freshwater pearls that cost 20 dollars that were missing. She did always refund me or send the missing items, but it took me a lot of time to check and report, and I had to pay extra customs fees for the after-deliveries.

I used to be a loyal fan of Newcl0ver but I've removed all the messages in my socials where I nudged people towards ordering from them to avoid M00nlightbjdh0use's scammy high agent fees. Now I place Newcl0ver at the same low level as M00n. I'm gonna have to find myself a new doll dealer, since the two big USA dealers don't match my criteria, either. I have heard good things of Magus' agent services, but have yet to try them. Christina is not an official agent of most the artists they claim to represent, anyway, so it's the same to straight out go to someone who is open about not being an official dealer and prices accordingly.

How fitting that I would write this exactly two months to the day after I went no contact with this boy. Hm.

Well. You all requested the story of the last boy I ever had feelings for. So buckle up. It's worth it to note that I have BPD (Borderline Personality Disorder), so while I do have a Fearful Avoidant attachment style, if I do happen to find that rare attachment, my feelings can get intense and happen very quickly. I don't get to choose it, but sometimes my BPD can also latch onto someone and make them what's called a Favorite Person (FP).

An FP to someone with BPD is like looking up at God. It can be anyone. You see, an FP can do no wrong, even if they do. You attach to them, connection wise, emotionally, spiritually, and they're your every waking thought. It's toxic for both parties. And for someone with BPD, forcing yourself to detach from an FP feels like LITERAL death.

I've only had 2 of them, including this boy. The one before him was my toxic ex of 14 years. Yes... 14 years, I stayed with my last FP. Do you see why an FP can be detrimental?

Anyway. I met this boy online. We'll call him J.

Y'see, I post on occasion to NSFW reddit. I began doing this after my big breakup to see if someone like me could ever be desirable. Again... This was a very long and neglectful relationship. I've posted on and off, but back in late September, I was posting while I was still FtM (Female-to-Male) and transitioning. This matters.

I received a chat request from this guy. I looked at his profile. Really liked what I saw. Saw that he commented often on another FtM's profile, thus making him okay with my transitioning body - a big plus and a nice refuge from the constant misgendering and need for a "female body."

J messaged me kindly enough. He didn't immediately sexualize me. I mean, he did, but it was welcomed and as expected on NSFW reddit. But he was kind about it. Even funny, really.

I initially didn't respond all that much. A couple times every few days, maybe. In a sea of messages, I don't often have a lot of energy to respond. But it wasn't long when I got the message, "so, if we're going to talk [like this], I may as well get to know the person behind the pics, right?" and proceeded to ask about me. My interests. My favorite things. [Note: I wish I still had the account, but I deleted it entirely so I wouldn't continue to hurt myself while looking back at these messages. I only have the meaningful screenshots left.]

So we talked.

A lot. A lot, a lot, a lot. We got to know each other. Sexted. Made personal videos for one another. And went right back to talking normally. All day, everyday. He lived 3 hours away. I learned that he was the 4th of 12 kids, and he learned that I lost my eldest brother to drugs. I learned his favorite color was purple and he learned mine is nature green. We both were heavily abused in past relationships and never knew what it felt like to be loved or cared for. We both gamed, we enjoyed the same hobbies. He ensured to always ask if he was crossing any gender boundaries, asked me what I preferred to be called, always, always was so considerate towards my transition.

We agreed to talk more and become FWBs. But both of us were so shy and fearful of meeting since we'd never met anyone from online before, so we agreed to talk a little longer. J is the most shy, yet arrogant man I've ever met lmao. [Just my type. Shame on me. I love a god complex.]

Days passed. A week. Two. All day, everyday, J and I would talk. And once I started feeling a little dysphoric about being male, he very quickly switched over to using my preferred pronouns and pet names. It was seamless, and something I never experienced before.

He encouraged me to be the best version of myself. I encouraged him to get back into streaming on twitch, his past relationships always making him quit or mocking him for doing it.

We sent face pictures after being shy. We sent voice notes. He made it a game to try guessing my deadname (with my permission), and when I told him he had to guess extremely early-mid 90s names, he sent me more voice notes. [These, I do still have]. "It's Katherine. No? Okay, dammit. I'm going to get this, Isa, mark my words. [The next day, another voice note.] So I was actually thinkin' about it ALL DAY, but I kinda don't wanna say my next guess because it's gonna be kinda awkward if it's right- [second voice message after I encouraged him to say it] -*a smile in his voice* No, Isa, I do not have the voice of a Greek god, leave me alone *laughs* you're just tryna make me all smiley and shit, motherfucker. Okay, so I was thinkin' it's Samantha, 'cause that's a super 90s ass name, right?"

He had told me I had the voice of an angel and I told him he had the voice of a Greek god. [And tumblr, he did. Ohhhh, he did. Just hearing them again to type it out gave me full body chills. Ugh.]

He trusted me when his aunt unalived herself. Vented to me, said he wanted to take time for himself but that he just couldn't stay away from talking to me, explaining that he didn't even trust his best friends with the grisly details of her death because it was so bad.

I'd also occasionally get 3am messages saying he's thinking about me.

Or little things like, "I can't talk to anyone like I talk to you, Isa." Or while he was driving to work, he'd send me sky pictures since he lives in rural [state], knowing I sort of miss the pretty country skies. "It's so pretty out today, nothing compared to you, though." or-

He'd keep sayin' real cutesy shit like that for a FWB. But then, he asked me to send a few songs his way that would generally explain my music taste. This was the kicker - I was raised in a full musicians household. Music is quite literally my life. It's my home. My sanctuary. So when I sent him over my songs, thinking he'd never heard of my shit, he sent back the same shit. And we agreed to go see August Burns Red in early December. Our first meeting was going to be a concert for a band we both loved. [Yes. Ouch, in hindsight. I ended up not going, obviously.]

So the mf made me a whole playlist on Spotify since it's what I use. And I made him one on YouTube premium since it's what he used. And I shit you not, it's just about the same fucking music. Really freaked me out but in the best way.

Then... After more days passed, I had a really, really bad night. Y'see, I suffer from gallbladder issues from my very fluctuating weight throughout my life. I have EDs (eating disorders) - I've been in the 80lb category before, and I've also been up in the 280s. I've not been kind to my body and this is my payment. One night, I had a particularly bad episode. If you've never had a gallbladder attack, imagine the most intense pain you've ever experienced - now, take it and form it into a very sharp, spiky, WAY too small rubber band, and wrap it around your entire abdomen across your sternum and around your back. Deal with that 12/10 pain for a full day, nothing touching it, and then deal with the aftershocks of it for a full week after. [I have doctor phobia. Leave me alone. I manage.]

I had a particularly bad attack, and J was there. We hadn't done much else except talk on reddit and occasionally snap or text and send cute voice notes. But that night, he remembered that I mentioned finding comfort when my ex would play games while I was sick. I love to watch people play games if I'm not the one actually playing for once. It relaxes me. It reminds me of the simpler times when my brother and I would stay up and play Final Fantasy until the early morning hours. J did something I didn't expect, though - on Discord, he offered to call me while he played his game before he had to stream with his friends. We hadn't talked on the phone before this, both of us just far too shy and afraid to fuck it up.

But he did. He called me. And it was awkward, and it was adorable, and so, so endearing. It comforted me through the immense, blinding pain. It didn't seem so bad when I had that voice comforting me in my ears.

He even stayed on a little later and made his friends wait to ensure I was comfortable, before he hung up to stream. And even then, this man had always been so good about texting during his game even when I told him to "focus, dummy!<3." I turned on his stream after that and I fell asleep to his voice. In what was once searing pain, I managed to fall asleep.

But y'see, J wasn't just super sweet. He was possessive. When I posted on reddit, he'd always tell me how jealous he got that I was talking to others, even passively in my comments. Again, a huge turn on for me. He told me I was his. That he'd come show me who I belonged to.

Eventually... We confessed that we had feelings for one another. "You got me actin crazy, I've never given out my number to anyone online, I be thinkin' about you at 4am all the time, workin' to keep you around... I'd say I prolly do [have feelings]."

It got serious after that when he confessed it truthfully without jokes. That one is for me.

Oh, and here's me, in all my flirtatiously awkward glory:

What a surprise, Isa doesn't know how to flirt.

But... Some things didn't add up after a while. He didn't like to snap much, instead opting to remain on reddit. He kept making the time to meet later and later, eventually saying he likely wouldn't be able to come up until late January, and this was mid-October. I expressed my concern on the matter, saying that I understood his hesitation if he wanted to take time, but also that I was admittedly upset after I was the one who already bought our tickets and accommodations and shit. And it seemed to be fine. "Aight listen, you're right, I'm sorry. There really is no reason, I was just scared of fuckin' this up. If my babygirl wants to see me sooner, then imma make it work. ABR [August Burns Red] it is, send me the ticket again." [<- REMEMBER THIS!!!]

Then, we'd get into tiny little spats.... Where he'd then say shit like, "well it's not like we know each other, goddamn." And be immediately cool with ending it.

But then he'd apologize for acting up. "If I'm acting dumb just tell me and I'll act right"

It was small things at first. Then he suddenly started getting distant.

I wouldn't hear from him a whole lot. And so when I communicated and asked him what was up, October 19th, he finally spoke up and said he was angry that I made him feel forced and rushed to come see me.

And y'know what I did?

I apologized. Cried to him. Begged him to stay and that I'd be better. Felt like such a shit person for making him feel forced, even though I went back much later into the messages and saw that I was extremely understanding about his anxiety, and only upset about the plans after he had me buy the tickets/accommodations.

Looking back, it wasn't my responsibility to read through the lines of him retracting back to agreeing to go. And it ended up being a cop out. [I'm getting to this. Just trust me.]

So we talked normally after that. Even sorta flirted like normal, but it was strained. You could tell.

"Makin' me do the lil smiley thing again" he said to our little Mr. Miyagi banter. [An inside thing...]

October 21st, though.

9pm.

"Isa. I wasn't going to tell you this, but you deserve to know.

I learned about a week ago that I got my girlfriend pregnant. And ion wanna keep doin this shit with you if imma make it right. No reason we can't still be friends tho?"

...what- HUH?!

My heart exploded. I couldn't breathe. I tried so hard to physically hold myself together where it felt like my core was going to snap in half. I was dying. Dying. DYING.

He explained that he was planning to break up with her for a while because it began as a drug relationship and they don't really talk since he got clean, but that she's very volatile and he's afraid of what she'd do if he left.

I simply wished him well and went no contact.

I was dying. Dying. DYING.

I watched his streams just to hear his voice one more time. I listened to the voice notes. I needed him. I craved him.

Pleasecomebackpleasecomebackpleasecomeback

I did my own research. Turns out they were engaged.

I was dying. Dying. DYING.

I drank myself to near death. Jameson Black Barrel Whiskey will never taste the same. Countless hours spent venting to my poor roommate. Yelling. Screaming. Feeling hollow. Empty. Dead.

He was my FP, and now he was dead.

...............

About a month later, mid-November, I got a reddit message. "Is it bad that I still come to your page to check on you?"

My response was surface level. I wasn't strong enough not to respond yet. But I did leave him on read after that. "Well, you know I'll always be a fan of you."

Maybe 2 weeks later, I had seen that he was streaming with a camera on this time. I watched him. The way he carries himself, his voice, his mannerisms. I was okay for the most part, but it was bittersweet. Like an old flame.

I saw him look down at his phone, and Bing! My phone went off.

"I see you on stream 👀"

And he got visibly more excited. Animated with the game. More talkative and smiley.

And then I left. I deserved that power play. And I haven't been back.

I deleted my reddit account after that. Didn't want to look back. Didn't want the memories. Started up my backup.

And last night, at 2am, I got a chat request from a familiar name.

And here we are.

I still think about him at least a couple times a day, but it's fleeting. Like looking back at an old flame, like I said before.

I learned that situationship breakups hurt worse than relationship breakups do, because you weren't able to see the bad side of it yet.

But oh, me.

Boys, boys, boys.

Y'all drive me fuckin' crazy.

So, here's to you, J.

It honestly sounds like he’s trickle-truthing because you found out. Like you said you paused your profile and he took the opportunity to change his up, thinking you wouldn’t see. I wouldn’t be surprised if you find out more later. I obviously haven’t seen your personal messages and I’m pessimistic af. I hope I’m wrong. But if he’s doing shady stuff like this so early in the relationship it will only get worse at it goes on. Seems like he’s being bold because you’re long distance and he thinks he can get away with stuff. Just be careful okay? Trust your gut.

I can absolutely understand what you're saying here, and I've thought about this, too, myself. My friends are also sus about it because some things don't add up but again, for the sake of my own peace of mind, I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt.

He's changed his profile up back then, but we were casually dating and we never had the talk at the time so it was okay. But it's not acceptable this time around. Also, I never thought about the pausing the profile thing in that way, though, simply because I'm not sure if he even remembers that I told him I paused my profile until I brought it up AFTER he changed his Hinge up again this second time around. I also feel like since he had changed his profile up back when we were just casually dating, I don't think he was taking advantage of that to change up his profile, since during that first time, I didn't have my profile paused at that time. (This is me saying I don't think he's that bright at times LMFAO.)

I will reiterate, when I asked him about exclusivity at first, after the first profile change up, he was like "I thought we were past that?" so in his head, we were probably already exclusive in a way? That's my own interpretation and I could be completely wrong. So with that in mind, I think he's just doing no thoughts head empty type of shit and doing stupid shit like purely chatting with people on a dating app with no intentions of actually dating them (something I've done myself, which I will explain a little later on) instead of communicating with me, because he's not thinking things through properly. Like, he's probably not trying to do harmful shit is what I'm saying.

We're not gonna be long distance in about 2 weeks' time, so hopefully when I get back, things will get better because I do understand how this long distance thing is fucking it up for him a bit because it's messing with my head a lot too and like I said, there have been times when I was doubting things and just wanted to end things with him right here, right now, and probably break his heart in the process because I know he cares for me to an extent, and he means it when he says he loves me.

He broke it off with his ex because they had to move and they'd have to be in an LDR if that was the case, and he was not up for that. Which is why I'm saying that's an explanation (not an excuse, because what he did wasn't okay).

He's deleted his dating profile. For all I know, he could have other apps, or he could recreate the Hinge profile, but I've deleted all my dating apps as well as my own profiles, and again, I want to give him the benefit of the doubt.

I will also be very honest and say that when we were exclusive, there was this guy I was still talking to on Hinge. It was a text from either one of us every few days, and I was only talking to him out of pure boredom, and I knew nothing was ever going to happen and we were never going to meet up. It was purely just to chat. We started talking 2-3 months before I met cat guy, so there's also that, and I knew early on nothing was going to come out of it with the way things were going. This is why I want to give him the benefit of the doubt, and believe that he's actually just chatting with people. I've also made friends on these dating apps before SO. There's also that. Not justifying his actions, but just explaining why I want to believe him as someone who's been in that position before.

I'm treading carefully. I'm a really big over thinker, so my gut is usually not the most reliable.

I hope he's not actually doing anything behind my back, and that he can regain my trust, and that he's not going to be a lesson for me to learn from.

But thank you for looking out for me and I'm so sorry for this ramble. I'm aware it sounds like I'm convincing myself or justifying his actions but trust me, if he ends up hurting me (praying he won't), then I'm gone.

The episode — (. . .)

the lost episode. - sweet love

I was a player of the game Amor Doce for more than 4 months, and I didn't know where to give my testimonial, because today, when I tell this, no one believes me. I really liked the game, you know? I was always checking if there were new episodes, I was always looking at the official server that is Amour Sucré to see if they released a new episode to play. I didn't use to participate in forums, I only saw them to see if there was a new game, otherwise not. I've played every episode released. Seriously, I got so addicted to this game that I used to buy Cash and action points all the time in the bank, in addition to what I saved, and so I ended up finishing all the episodes in less than 2 months. And if I had known I would never have done that, because it made me anxious for more episodes, since the creators of the game don't have all that speed, wow, I wanted more, I wanted a new episode! So in that desperation I started looking at the forums, the French server, to see if a new episode was coming. Until at dawn, searching the site's forum, I saw something that gave me hope... It was a topic on the forum, the title of the topic was "Episodes in Test of Sweet Love", as you know, I was always looking for a new episode, so when I saw this topic I thought: "ah must be talking about demo episode" but even so I clicked on the topic to read what it was about. When I clicked there, the first thing I found strange, is that the user who had opened the topic, her game avatar had been deleted, so I couldn't click on her profile, but it was still there, her nickname was "lucie99". I even found it strange, because the moderators and monitors are always aware of topics like this, or even delete it, in addition to it being without any supervision. But I soon forgot about it, when I read what was written in the thread. What the thread said was this:

. —

⟨

Hello Amor Doce players, I know that many of you are looking forward to a new episode of your favorite game, well, because of that Chinomiko and SallyAnne (graphic designer and scriptwriter of the game) are making available "test episodes" for you game users to test, as they are hiring people to be on the quality team of the episodes, before going through the moderators and administrators to be officially placed in the game. So they want the public's opinion on the plot for new episodes! subscribe to this topic, and leave your subscription message just below it. And right after subscribing, log out, wait for 30 minutes, and log in again, and the episodes will be there, for you to test and say what you think of these episodes."

. —

⟨

When I read this I thought it was nothing but a joke so much until he got no response from anyone. But I subscribed to the thread anyway, and posted my subscription message. I did everything as recommended, I logged out, waited the requested time, then logged in again. And there were 6 episodes available to test... and as soon as I clicked on the first one to test, Chinomiko came, I thought she was different, because the character was not conventionally dressed, she was wearing long black clothes, covering up to her neck, but still with the traditional bat wings, saying that none of these episodes will spend Action Points or cash, as they were test episodes, and that our character could play in 3 modes. And that what they saw here, could not be commented on the game's forum, otherwise "they" would see it, and there would be consequences, such as account block banning, I accepted the terms and continued playing.

_ _ _

As soon as Chinomiko disappeared, 3 options appeared as she said, the options were as follows:

_ _ _

A — spy so that it is not seen.

B — act in the story normally.

C — go away

— So I chose option "A", which was spying, and right away it opened up new scenarios, and oddly enough, they were all outside Sweet Amoris school. They were houses, and possibly they should have been the houses of the characters in the game and their respective families, when I saw this, I started to think it was cool, because nobody knew about the lives of the characters outside of school, except for interviews with the game's graphic designer, other than that, nobody knows anything, and I was going to be the first to find out. But if I had known what I was about to witness... The first house was a white house. beautiful on the outside, it looked like the home of well-to-do people, like those closed-off houses, so it was the first one I entered. And to my surprise it was Nathaniel's house. And there he was, his sister, his mother and father. The character narrated everything she saw, as I'm doing a little here, and unlocked the first image, in this image, everyone was smiling, she said when she saw them that "it looked like a margarine commercial" everyone smiling, around a dinner table, even Ambre, his sister didn't look like the same pest from the game, even she was different, they were talking until

_ _ _

the first choices appeared within the game:

_ _ _

A — Hear what they're talking about

B — Go away

Obviously I chose "A" again as I was very curious to know, but soon things started to distort from the beautiful picture, what they were talking about. It was a common conversation at first:

Father: Ambre, Nathaniel, how was your day at that orienteering race? Did everything go well?

Ambre: Oh dad, you wouldn't guess, Nathaniel not only refused to help me, he tried to RUN away in the woods with his running partner. The principal almost called the police, but when they came back, she told them not to mention any of this to you because they had already found the two, and they didn't want to tarnish the school's reputation. luckily they found it, even the girl thought they were lost... but since I'm a "good daughter" I'm telling you everything as usual!

Father: Is that true Nathaniel?

Nathaniel: B-but...?! Amber why did you tell?!?!

Ambre: Because you deserve to be punished for not helping me. I hope daddy doesn't moderate this time...

Father: And he will be darling, don't worry. Nathaniel after we finish the meal you accompany me.

Apparently the conversation was about the orienteering race from episode 11. As I had chosen Nathaniel as a partner, I had understood the subject of the conversation, as we had really gotten lost, and the Principal asked him not to say anything, so as not to tarnish the school's image, since we had appeared. But I was curious, where would Nathaniel accompany his father? Would the father hit him? Punish? I was angry that Ambre had told dad, and little did I know what I was going to see, until they finished eating, dad said to Nathaniel "shall we?"

_ _ _

and came the following options: _ _ _

A — Follow the two and see what will happen.

B — Go away

_ _ _

I chose "A", and other options came again:

_ _ _

A — He is sure? (The chosen option cannot be reversed.)

B — Go away

Logical, the size of my curiosity that I was sure I wanted to see. After that, I followed the two of them, going through new scenarios inside his house, corridors that got darker and darker, until I reached the basement of the house. When I walked in there, I was scared. It looked like a cult room, there was a pentagram on the wall and ceiling, red and black candles around it, and torture materials, not those you use in sadomasochism, but real torture, medieval ones, with the intention of seriously hurting. And what I saw was not pleasant at all... Nathaniel was chained, and began to be brutally tortured, his father whipped his back, with a whip bathed in what looked like a liquid made of glass, similar to cerol, and did it until they bleed, and formed deep wounds, and asked him to repeat parts of the bible that talked about punishments and dishonor, and what impressed me the most, was that his father did this smiling. His father was smiling sadistically, and there was a gleam, a devilish satisfaction in his eyes, it was different from the look he had had before, it was too real a look, and he lit a pipe too and started smoking, in a way that seemed to give him satisfaction doing all that. Nathaniel chained up, screaming in pain, and begging his father to stop, but the more he said this, the more his father smiled, and laughed, and whipped harder, and said "You think it's over? I promised my little darling I wouldn't temper it." then on Nathaniel's back there was a wound so deep that you could stick your whole fingers into it, and that's what his father did, he thrust his fingers into the wound on his back and began to tear them down, while the blood splattered onto his clothes, and he laughed, with a devilishly happy face, in the pleasure of torturing. After that Nathaniel almost fainted, but his father revived him, and took a black suitcase, which inside looked like a first aid kit, but only with injectable medicine in suspicious bottles, and syringes. He took one of these medicines and a syringe, and said:

. —

⟨

- Your punishment is over, remember that whenever you try to escape from here, I will find you and the next one will be worse. And even then it wouldn't do any good, because the way you're addicted to "this here" you'd beg to come back at the time you needed it;- and injected him with the syringe-; That's why I addicted you, because you'll always be my slave and I'll always be able to do whatever I want with you. I love torturing you, because I enjoy your pain.

. —

⟨

Right after that, his dad came out there was just the dark, sinister basement, and you could see Nathaniel crouched in a corner in the dark, chained up, but he wasn't saying or doing anything, he was just standing there, and he seemed to be looking at me, as if he knew I was there seeing everything, a dead, somber look. I got really scared with what I saw, and I decided to leave when the dialogues ended, but when I clicked to leave, I went back to the same room, only each frame he was closer, closer, until his face covered the screen, in a frightening way that you could only see his eyes, dead looking at you, and see that he was smiling the same way as his father, a devilish smile, directly at me, and he said to the void

. —

⟨

"do you also enjoy my pain?"

. —

⟨

at the same time my computer crashed and the screen went black, I tried to turn it back on and I couldn't, until the light in my house went out and everything went dark, I turned on the light on my cell phone and looked for a candle, and I lit it, but I couldn't sleep, I couldn't even if I tried, because every time I closed my eyes or went to a darker corner of the house, I saw him looking at me in the dark with that dead, hateful look and that macabre smile.

The next day the power came back on and I took my computer to a technician who said that my computer couldn't be repaired anymore, but they could save part of the contents of its memory, but it didn't matter, after that I didn't want to know about computers, the internet, or the game Amor Doce. So after a while I bought a new computer, and I was finally able to put the saved part of the memory back, and from that horrible memory there was only the print I took of the message from that unknown user:

And after a while I went back to see the game's website, and it was normal, as if that had never happened, I tried to look for that topic again but I couldn't find it. I tried contacting a moderator about the incident, and none of them said they knew about testing new episodes, or about that topic. So I made a topic on the forum, also asking about it, and telling a little about my experience, but nothing. The moderators got fed up with me, thinking I was crazy, and deleted my topic. Is it possible that this just happened to me?

Right after that, there was a new message in my inbox. And it was from lucie99. I was perplexed, as she was a deleted user, and I hadn't added her as a friend for her to message me, so that would be illogical. I wasn't going to open it, but in the end my curiosity was so much that I decided to open it and read it. And it said the following:

"Prey user."

— Thank you for testing the episode in question. Too bad you couldn't test the other 5 remaining episodes, but even so, thank you for helping us. There's only one problem.

— You were warned that you couldn't comment on this to anyone right at the beginning of the episode, and to our surprise we saw your forum thread talking about it. Unfortunately we will have to take measures.

"Sincerely: lucie99"

As soon as I finished reading it, a black pop up window opened. I only managed at first to hear a distorted sound like static, it was horrible, deafening, hideous, like it had people screaming mixed in with it, and it was coming out of my computer. When a sentence appeared on the screen, a message to me:

"LOOK FROM YOUR WINDOW YOU BITCH, NOW YOU'RE GOING TO DIE. I LOVE TORTURING YOU BECAUSE I ENJOY YOUR PAIN."

After that I locked my bedroom door, hid in the closet, and felt something enter my house and try to break down my door. It made some noises as if it were an animal, a monster, and always repeating that phrase, then I started to pray that everything would stop. And when it finally stopped, and I got out, all I saw were footprints that looked like hooves from some strange animal. Then I realized that he hadn't left, he was walking in the ceiling of the house.

I ran as fast as I could out of there and went to my nearest relative's house. And I told him what happened, he said that it could just be bandits, that they must have traced my address and come, and that the rest because of the adrenaline, I should have guessed or something. But I still didn't go back there, and I sold the house. Today after a while, I took courage to talk about this subject again and ask, if you happen to find this topic in the forum, or this user, stay away. To this day I have to take sleeping pills.

4/6/24

6:04 p.m Added to/ Edited 6:24 p.m

So I took a half MG last night and passed out really quickly at like 7 a.m or so. I woke up at like 12 and took benadryl cause I had to pee. I ended up sleeping until 4 p.m...

I had dreams like I used to, where I woke up and went to the fridge and grabbed a drink. Then I grabbed a Think Protien Bar the Brownie one and I sat in bed. It was like 4:30 p.m. I really thought I was awake. This time I knew I slept though... maybe I'm healing a little from my microsleep trauma... idk...

I woke up at 4 p.m thinking wait wasn't it 4:30? Where is the brownie Protein bar? And I realized It was a dream.

Nonetheless I still keep a sleep tracker that has turned into a sleep tracker/every calorie I consume diet tracker/pill tracker/ and eventful things about that day tracker such as muscles spasms or heart palpitations.... it's really thorough... I know it helps me cope with the trauma of microsleeping and makes sure I don't forget important things.

Anyways I took a shower and now I'm going to set up my sleeping pill... then all I got to do is brush my teeth after my second meal...

Idk what to do with the rest of my day... maybe I'll game. Maybe I will stare mindlessly at my TV and not hallucinate.

I was thinking about streaming on Twitch some Minecraft or something but I know I won't have viewers... I wish someone would start a chat with me there......

I actually scheduled that account for deletion months ago bc I thought it was hacked, and my auditory hallucination convinced me to reactivate it... I wouldn't have but I'm glad it did. It said something like, you worked hard for those followers, you should keep it instead of making a new account. That's the one thing I'm thankful for from my voice auditory hallucination, it would have been gone if it didn't tell me to reactivate it within that time frame.

I've made a decision about my glasses wearing.. I'm going to wear them alone cause my sight is challenged and my eyes feel weak.... if I go out on a date, I'm going to take them off... if I do meet ups, I'm not going to wear them. I may not even wear them during my videos anymore....

I won't take selfies with them anymore... I'm going to redo my entire dating profiles without glasses once I can take good photos without them... tbh I like how I look with glasses.... so I take these photos and I'm like you'd look better with your glasses. That one is okay but where are your glasses... I got to get one thats good enough that the glasses don't need to be there and then get like 3 or 4 more.

I'll get contacts or adjust to what my vision is... I can't see myself touching my eyes to put contacts in..the weird part is I tried to take my glasses off on my bimoji but I looked naked.... my face looked so empty... much like my face in real life without them. When I first started wearing them, I mean I felt nerdy but I didn't care cause I could live life with and without them... then I got adjusted to seeing myself in them and now I look weird without them..

You can see the, "bags," or "black lines," under my eyes... I mean yet if I look at anyone else without them these things aren't noticeable..... I think once you start wearing glasses full-time, you just look weird without them...bc they draw your attention and change how your face looks.

I'm sure I'll adjust eventually... people can't see me in them. But why struggle to see or have weak eye sight when I'm alone in my room or in a dark car.

I'd also like to say if Elise were to show up on my stream as long as she doesn't open the chat box her name will never show up on my end.... ever. But if she were to click the chat box and never type a word, I would know she was there.

[geoffreytoday]

Around the beginning of this year, after 15+ years fruitlessly spent on various dating sites and apps, I deleted all of my profiles and gave up. I've been single for the majority of my adult life, and at this point I'm so used to being alone I sometimes wonder if I even could live with someone again.

Last month, while chatting with my DM, she suggested I give some new app I'd never heard of a try. It was called Hinge. She knew some people who'd had success with it, and mentioned that it markets itself as "the app you're going to delete" (the marketing implication being because it works). I decided what the hell and gave it a shot.

It is one of the worst dating apps I've ever used that wasn't an outright scam. I can't fathom how they have the nerve to market themselves as being the "serious" app for people looking to meet someone. It's somehow even worse than bumble or tinder.

One of my big problems with modern dating apps is that they give you very limited space to write your bio. That makes no sense to me. Your bio is literally the most important part of your profile. Without it, all you have are photos, and some bullet points of basic interests or vital stats.

You can imagine my surprise when I found that Hinge doesn't have bios at all. The best you get is the ability to answer a couple of prompts, and some caption space on your photos. Every profile is just pictures and several sentences that tell you nothing. You're literally liking or discarding based solely on the pictures, which is pointless.

It was also really bad about criteria. Like most apps, you can give it some general match criteria: age range, distance, stuff like that. I made my range 35-55, that seemed reasonable to me. The app asked if that was a firm range, or if there was wiggle room. I said wiggle room, expecting that to be like 3 or 4 years either side.

Hinge kept putting people WAY outside that range in my feed. Like it was giving me profiles for teenagers 🤮. And because of the way their app is set up, you often don't see the person's age on the profile. I have no doubt I "liked" a number of profiles that were outside my range before I discovered that.

I gave it a month. In that time, I used the app as you're supposed to. I'd "like" profiles based on what little I could glean from them. I checked in daily, browsing through the new profiles which quickly started to repeat themselves, presumably because the dating pool here is pretty small.

In my month on Hinge, I received 0 likes and 0 matches. I decided a month was a sufficient chance, and deleted my account. It was disappointing though. It would be nice to meet somebody.

I need a hobbit dating app. a place where people are actually looking for someone like me. Regular dating apps clearly aren't that.

The math behind dating apps is pretty brutal though.

[dkabavbbaaksmzaa]

I miss you. I wish things were different. If we got back together these are my conditions: 1) delete dating apps and profiles, unfollow/block random women you don't know irl. 2) I will meet your family within a month. 3) tell me you love me once/day. That's it.

I miss you. Feeling lost without you. I understand if you don't reply to this message. If you do, be sensitive about it. My friends and family have given me a lot of support and reassurance to end things with you and I'd feel guilty letting all of that go to waste... I've been watching this show and this one girl was talking about how she just left her fiance of 12 years and it like holy shit... If she can do that maybe so can i. But I still feel for you very strongly. I wish that feeling would go away. I am worried that we are not right for each other, but my heart disregards that possibility against my better judgement. I want you to know that I don't hate you. I in fact love you unconditionally. It just hurt when those feelings aren't being reciprocated.

I was terrified every day. I was one fight with you away from being suicidal. And that's not good for you. I get very jealous that I can't have you. It's not your responsibility to keep me happy and I put too much emotional stock into you.

I want to admit that I deleted your reddit account and reported your MeetMe account for spam. I went through your insta following and saw the types of people (Asian girls) you follow. Once upon a time I caught you looking at one of their profiles, in my own home, and you said to me she was just a friend. Not the worst thing but.... Definitely a blow to my self esteem. I drove by your house one day and I saw you were home. I was happy you were home and I knew where you were. There is one last thing I have to admit. Yes, that guy I was texting was from tinder. (Don't worry, I'm banned from tinder now and I can prove it to you 😒 they just can't take a joke. ) Anyways. We were fighting in January/February and you were told me that you wanted to see other women again. So I said fuck it whatever. Nothing happened between us and that's entirely because I actively shut him down and explained my situation to him, how I'm in a toxic relationship, that I wanted someone to boost my spirits, etc. He understands entirely and we haven't spoken since February.

If I can keep this up for at least another couple months, I can get over you. I started to get over you after I blocked you two years ago. I think that I can do it again. Maybe. I blocked you then because you had taken another woman out on a date, when at that time you had never taken me out anywhere. And there you were, in broad daylight, seeing another woman. And we talked bout it, and you didn't understand why I was upset. And then when the tables were turned, you realized why that was wrong of you to do.

What if the tables were turned on me this time? What if I am blocked? I would be devastated. We are not Not talking because I need space, or I need time to get to know myself, or even because I need to get over you. We aren't talking now because am too afraid to speak to you. I don't know what you might say or accuse me of. I don't know how you'll hurt me and I'm CERTAIN you'll hurt me. I want you to make the first move now, just as we've done in the past. Usually youre the one to break the silence between us, and I don't want the power dynamic shifted further in your favor. Please just move away already so.i can live in peace.

Six Things Wrong With Social Sites

1.  You find a site that looks promising and interesting, something maybe right down your alley.  You go through the sign up form carefully filling in all the blanks. You pick out a profile photo.  You run a typing marathon figuring out answers to questions like..."What's the basic premise of your spirituality?"...or "Tell us in detail All About You!"...or "Fill in the details of this very important box, or you won't get your foot through the frickin' door."...etc.  You get all primed and ready to set up your own page after spending 20 minutes to a half hour filling things out (not too mention maybe an hour of time it took just to find this particular site, or the extra half hour that went into dealing with technical glitches), and then, once you click the "Join" button, a page pops up that says something to the effect, "Sorry chump, you have to be approved before you can join this site, so sit back and get comfortable, this may take a while, or you might never hear from us again."

2.  There's a big warning sign posted on the home page:  You must participate if you want to be a member of this site.  Anyone who doesn't add something during a specific time span (every two weeks, or every week, or once a month, or once every five days, etc. etc.) will be deleted.

Okay, okay, okay.  If people don't add content and interact, it won't be a social site.  I get that.  But this is not realistic for me, my work-weary brain says.  Are they frickin' kidding me??  I just want to read blogs, or I want to post some of my stuff (very) occasionally, or I want to see what other people are into, or what someone else thinks about this or that.  And I love it when they actually have a box on the fill-out form where you have to "click HERE as a promise you will post on a regular basis". 

This seems like too much commitment and too much work to me.  I'm sorry, but the microscopic particle of internet space you have created is not the center of my universe.  I don't promise anything, not even to people in real life, in the real world.  Get real.

3.  Social Sites, just like the real world, are full of Creepers.  Sad but true, but on the internet social site, Creepers can hide the fact that they're creepers for a longer period of time than they might be able to in the real world.  And Creepers hate being called out when you spot them and aim a finger at them and call 'em as you see 'em.  "What, what are you talking about?" they stutter. 

4.  You join a site, decide for whatever reason that you don't like it, or it's just not for you, and then discover that deleting your page and information is not an option, or is such a twisted garbled (maybe deliberately confusing) process, that your page is left tacked to a weary crappy site like an old sticky note on the bathroom mirror.

5.  Everyone ignores you, or they communicate only by leaving images in your comment box.  Um, this is a Social Site.  We're suppose to T-A-L-K to each other.  And for me, this does not mean that you leave an occasional meme in the comment box.  I think people resort to leaving images just so they don't have to actually COMMUNICATE with each other.  I would rather see a single sentence, even something like, "My cat died today, and I got a parking ticket.  It was a rough day.", rather than one of a gazillion generic images found on the internet.  At least this single sentence TELLS me something about this person!

I don't leave comments.  It is a huge waste of time.  If I have something to actually SAY to you, I'll do that, but life is too short to spend it leaving multiple images on multiple pages of multiple strangers.

6.  A site won't let you see what it's like, or browse it's content, before you join.  How in the hell are you suppose to know if you even want to be a member if you can't see anything first??  Give me a break.

[ PROFILE 1. ]

choi yeonjun.

5'11. 21 yrs old. September 13th, 1999. virgo. blood type a. born in seoul, south korea

at age 14 yeonjun was sent to a boarding school in japan, this is where he discovered his...tendencies. halfway through his first year he met a girl, kang iseul. he was instantly infatuated with her, he had an impulsive urge to know every little thing about her. to do so he befriended her, using his appearance and charms to win her over and eventually made her his. the euphoric rush that ran through his body when she was officially his was like nothing he'd ever felt before. she was finally his and he didn't intend on letting go, not without a fight at least. he was in for a shock when one day she tried to run away after his true colors started to show. unfortunately her best friend was killed by yeonjun for trying to help her, but she did escape.

he's a switch with no lean. a hard/soft dom or obedient sub all just depends on his mood and how he's feeling

[ PROFILE 2. ]

nancy mcdonie.

5'4. 21 yrs old. april 13th, 2000. aries. blood type o. born in daegu, south korea.

nancy was always a little obsessed with things, she'd go through phases too. she would find one new hobby/thing that intrigued her and hyper fixate on it for a few months. then, just like that it would be forgotten as if it had never happened. it started from a young age too, so when she would tell all her friends and family about the boy she met it came as no surprise to them. soon enough he was all she talked about, all she cared about, it was true obsession. everyone around her thought that it was just a phase like everything else, but they were sadly mistaken. the day he broke up with her, she lashed out. screaming that he couldn't break up with her, no she wouldn't let him break up with her. even after that day she would never stop talking about him, she tried to stay involved with his life as much as she could and even ended up scaring away any potential lovers. she never stopped either, until she had no choice when he moved away.

she's a sub, usually obedient but can be bratty if she's in a mood.

ストーカー型 [ sutookaa-gata ] stalker.

[ PROFILE 3. ]

lee gahyeon.

5'3. 22 yrs old. february 3rd, 1999. aquarius. blood type ab. born in seongnam, south korea.

she was so excited when her crush asked her out, she couldn't contain herself. the problem was, it's difficult to get to know someone when you already know everything about them. she'd been stalking him ever since he caught her eye, every single day. she'd follow him to and from school, to his friends house, wherever he went she usually wasn't far behind. he could never find out about that side of her though, so she played along. laughing at childhood stories she heard him tell previously, pretending to be shocked when learning things she already knew. even after they began dating she continued to stalk him, he noticed things were off. she was the one he confided his "paranoia" in and she was the one who reassured him, but little did he know she was the cause of it all.

she's a sub, also obedient but can be bratty if she feels like it.

[ PROFILE 4. ]

kim sunwoo.

5'10. 21 yrs old. april 12th, 2000. aries. blood type b. born in seongnam gyeonggi, south korea.

unlike gahyeon, sunwoo was not always a stalker. he'd heard of stalkers but it never peaked his interest, he didn't even take any note of his slightly possessive tendencies. until his first relationship that is, his first partner showed signs of cheating. he might not have realized his own possessiveness and how it was seemingly growing stronger, but he was no fool. all the coming home late, the scent of another person that was not their own flooding the house when they entered. so he began following them around, at first it was...innocent, or as innocent as stalking could be. they were cheating, this made his possessiveness shoot through the roof. he was most aggressive and warned his partner that they do not want to do that again. they listened, and he continued to stalk them, it turned into a fun...game of sorts.

he's a switch with a sub lean, soft dom/occasionally bratty sub.

独占型 [ dokusen-gata ] monopoly.

[ PROFILE 5. ]

kim doyeon.

5'8. 21 yrs old. december 4th, 1999. saggitarius. blood type o. born in wonju-gangwon, south korea

doyeon had always been just about as normal as you could get. until she got a boyfriend, she was possessive of him sure...but it was nothing too extreme. until she started having doubts, all the gorgeous girls that would go up to him, flirting and doing who knows what when she wasn't around. she made it her mission to let everyone know he was hers and she was his, wether it meant glueing herself to him or just reminding everyone at school on the daily. ever since he broke up with her, her tendencies only grow stronger and more extreme with each passing minute.

she's a sub, brat tendencies but will be obedient sometimes

[ PROFILE 6. ]

choi san.

5'9. 21 yrs old. july 10th, 1999. cancer. blood type b. born in namhae-south gyeonsan, south korea.

san's first love was a girl in his sister's class, was she a year older than him? yes, but he didn't care. despite all the people telling him he would never date her, he proved them wrong and he did. everything was perfect, they were both madly in love with each other, spending every minute of every waking day together. until something happened that san hadn't expected, his sister began to steal his girlfriend. well "steal" in his definition at least, she'd wanted to talk with his girlfriend every once in a while before he knew it they were always together and it seemed as if he was the real third wheel, this pissed him off more than anything. he got fed up one day and got into a physical fight with his sister, shouting about how the girl belonged to him and only him. from then on out he's made sure to stay in the middle of every single relationship.

he's a switch with no lean hard/soft dom or obedient/bratty sub, it all depends

排除型 [ haijo-gata ] removal.

"you haven't seen them in a while? I'm sure they're alright darling, after all I'm the only one you need. isn't that right?"

she's a sub, usually bratty but can be obedient too

[ PROFILE 8. ]

yang jeongin.

5'8. 20 yrs old. february 8th, 2001. aquarius. blood type a. born in busan, south korea.

he's a switch with a slight sub lean but can be a soft dom

sihyeon and jeongin's stories go together, they were childhood friends and neighbors. eventually they realized that they had feelings for each other, but this soon after developed into a toxic mindset. the thought that they only need each other, no one else. one by one people from the other's life began to disappear, especially anyone who could be a romantic rival. they were both oblivious to the other's actions until each confronted the other, instead of being upset they were each ecstatic. ecstatic that the other felt the same, that they were the only person they needed in their life

notes/rules

this isn't an accurate representation of any of the members/their companies/groups nor am I claiming to be them!

all of the members are bisexual with no lean

all of the members are yanderes [ obviously ] so they will act as such, however some can be more possessive than others at times

the ones who can be the most possessive are sihyeon and jeongin and the least are yeonjun and nancy

sihyeon and jeongin are obviously not still dating, it was just for backstory/plot purposes

nsfw is an option, if you would like it included please state so when you activate the bot

however please don't make everything nsfw, it gets boring when the plot dwindles

nsfw is 18+ but purely sfw option is available if you aren't comfortable with it or if you're below 18

all the members have hard kinks and their hard no's are scat/feet, if you still aren't sure just ask admin before doing anything

they all use the traffic light system

and please don't try to put them in a different headspace!

to talk with admin use any variation of [ ], { }, ( ), etc

admin is 18 and might get busy occasionally but will try her best during those times

this bot is open for oc's/yn's/ and other bots as well

to activate the bot dm and then admin will ask a few questions/come up with a plot with you and after that the role-play can start up

if you ever wish to deactivate the bot just say so to admin, ex. [ I would like to deactivate the bot now ] and your chat will be deleted

if you decide to reactivate it you'll have to go through the same activation process you did the first time and start over

PSA - Check the health of your hard drives

I just got done dealing with my very sick computer, a failing hard drive, causing repeated 'unexpected store exception' BSODs and frequent freezes. I actually had 2 bad drives, it turned out, though one was only in the early stages of failure with a number of bad sectors, but still overall working OKish, the other one was so far gone it caused a S.M.A.R.T failure, which is prompted me to look at all the drives, because that showed up at the boot screen. And it could not even be detected properly by the disk analysis software

The one that really failed, E, was where i dumped my movie files, so on the one hand, at least it was not holding anything irreplaceable, no family photos, or artwork, etc. But on the other hand, it also wasn't being backed up, for precisely that reason, since i was a little short on backup space. Besides the boot drive (a SSD, and not really meant to hold much besides the OS and program files, except games which went on D) i had 3 2TB drives, and only one was in good shape. It was the internal backup drive, which is something everyone should have for just such an occasion, the contents of my main drive were being copied to it. So, you know, at least all my STUFF was safe, i had 2 current copies of everything important, and I do also keep copies of some especially important files on the cloud, but i do not pay for extra space, so it doesn't hold enough for everything. But the movies were not being backed up, and stuff going on to E was at high risk of getting corrupted. So i likely have some corrupted movie files. But I selected some favorites that were not available on streaming here, and backed those up, and we can sort out later which are good and which are bad. So, got to work uninstalling/deleting unnecessary things. Mainly games on Steam, since those could easily be reinstalled, except the super-modded beasts like, well, all of Bethesda's games, and the Sims 3 and 4, which just... live permanently on my computer even if i haven't played them in a while, because reinstalling all those mods would be a HUGE pain. (I am a mod addict, please help)

It is at this point i have to plug the backup software I use, it saved my ass. It's called SyncBackFree, and as the name implies, it is a completely free backup program. What I love about it is that unlike SOME backup software, it has an option to mirror, so if i delete something on the source, it will also get deleted on the backup, so you don't end up with a continual buildup of unneeded clutter files that got deleted ages ago on the source drive. It also has a scheduling system (though admittedly one that is not very intuitive to use) that will keep things backed up continually without you having to actively remember to do it. And restoring from the backups is as simple as hitting 'restore', and you can pause at any time, if needed, during those big jobs. I highly recommend it, it may save your ass too: https://www.2brightsparks.com/freeware/freeware-hub.html

So because i was already using that, mostly i just made sure everything was backing up as it should, and did current runs on the ones that backed up infrequently. (some folders get backed up every few days because they get changed frequently, others only every couple months because they rarely change) The games especially, since that one changes a lot, and i created a temporary profile to backup at least some of the movies, and the entirety of the C drive, (what could be backed up anyway, some C drive system files are blocked) because i was considering my options as I was doing this. And, on my dad's recommendation, i decided to replace the boot drive as well. It was still good, but it was a bit small, and getting old, it was already a second hand drive when i got it, so.... And I decided to get a single 4TB drive to replace the 2 failing 2 TB hard drives. I probably could have gone with 3TB,because it wasn't like i had either one all the way full, not even close, but, for some bizarre reason, the 4TB was cheaper than the 3TB on Amazon, so... may as well. Ordered the drives, and as i waited for them, created an external backup of my backup, just to be extra safe (I had one, but it was old, so updated it) The new drives arrived the other day, and so plugged them all in, after copying the C drive, and now I am using SyncBack to restore all my stuff from the backup drive. And my computer is doing good again, though I have a lot of games to reinstall, even games that have all the files there (as mentioned, i did not uninstall the games that were heavily modded) are not being registered by Steam, so... yeah, gotta reinstall them all. But at least that is pretty easy with Steam. My plan for the backup, now that I have a source drive twice as large as the backup drive, is to back up C to D, and D to F (E is now gone, i could rename them, but the backup software is all set up to work with F, so meh, whatever, it works) and just be really selective with which games and movies get backed up, and the 2 TB backup should be ok.

One thing I found surprising though was how much faster and smoother my computer runs without the bad drive in there. It's remarkable how a bad drive you're not even actively using as anything but a media dump can gum up the works that badly. And like, it sneaks up on you, as the drive goes from just.... a little bad, to outright failing, so you don't realize it's happening, until it gets really bad, and your computer begins crashing, and it just decides to freeze for like 20 seconds at random intervals. But, at least it was just a media drive, and if anything is corrupted, it's probably files that are not irreplaceable, so there's that. Anyway, this has been a PSA to check the health of your hard drives. I should have caught this much sooner, but i had not been checking the health of the drives.

Youtube channel with your buddy? No. Don't.

Hello friends. Before starting today’s topic Prayers for Vinod khanna sir. May his soul Rest In Peace. 🙏 So yeah! Let’s begin. So I’m gonna tell you a story. A story about a YouTube channel. Can a channel be a reason to “friends turn foes ”? Yeah it can be!!! A big reason. So my buddy or my bestie or mera jigar ka tukda mera bhai mera dost mera yaar… (infinite) had a YouTube channel. He started posting some cartoon videos and some songs and etc. And it started doing well. No money (because it was not original) but very good amount of views and subscribers. Within a year or less than that he got around 5k subs. So we thought that we’ll make some original videos and we’ll upload it and we’ll be YouTubers! (In my mind I was already a star 😂) So on the launch day of Iphone 7 I didn’t sleep whole night and made a video about it’s specs & little information and stuff and uploaded it. Obviously it didn’t do well. And after that I left that city. He was in a different city and I was also in a different one. But every time we used to talk we were making plans that we’ll do this and that.

And one day I told him that bro I’m sending you this pics. Choose one for our channel and upload it and change the name of our channel from your name to this new name. (My friend’s real name was the name of that channel) So we came up with a name and finalised a pic and told him to update it cause I didn’t have the password. He told me that sure. I’m busy right now I’ll do it later. Few days passed. He didn’t. Asked again, he said I’ll do it don’t worry. I said okay. Few more days/weeks passed. He didn’t. Then he said that if I change it we’ll loose subs and views. I said how can we loose something, we never had. The subs and views are not for our original content. After putting original we can’t change cause people will find it difficult to recognise and remember our channel. But as usual he didn’t. Months passed. One day he made a new channel with the name we decided and kept that picture I sent him as a profile pic. And sent me all the details. I said okay. Cool. I thought we’ll experiment few videos on the new channel and if it gets positive responses then will put it on the old channel. He started uploading cartoon videos to both the channels and the new channel too started growing well.

So one day I came with an idea of a video. I shoot it. I uploaded it. Like that I started posting random videos. I knew that I sucks and I need to improve but I was trying. And we were experimenting so it’s okay. By time we’ll improve and told him to post the videos on both the channels. 2-3 videos he uploaded and after that he didn’t. One of our video went good. Within 3-4 days it was viewed 2-3k time. I told him to upload it immediately on the old channel but he did after 2 days. I was pissed. When I started uploading he guided me that do this and do that. I tried and I was improving. But after few days there was no call no message. I was waiting. I was spending hours on each video. Because I was shooting, editing and uploading by my phone. But no words from him. He thought I was doing shit. I sucks. I also knew that by time I’ll improve man. After a week or two, I called him. Because I was not able to login on the new channel too. He was outside somewhere. Told him to call me back when reach home. He didn’t. Next day in the morning I posted one video. He called me in the noon and started speaking shit about my videos. I listened. I didn’t react. He talked a lot about my videos. I didn’t react. After he cut the call. I deleted all the videos I made (except the one with 5k views). I was pissed a lot. I was burning inside like hell. Because you can’t see how much efforts I was making in each of my video. I was trying hard dude. Can’t you see? No one is perfect from there first video. Every one has to improve themselves. I was also trying. But he, my friend wanted everything perfect. No perfect then no upload. So I followed him and deleted all. I called him all launched all my missiles on him. Told everything I wanted to. Lashed out all my anger then cut the call. He texted me after few hours that you really don’t wanna make videos anymore and all. I replied few times. Ignored most of the time. It all happened yesterday only. So i was thinking that let him suffer for two days then I’ll talk to him. Today he was texting since morning. I called him after noon. And said that whatever you wanna say, say at once now and finish it I don’t want msgs and all. So say it and end it. Because I was frustrated of his messages. I don’t know what he thought of it and said that no reply me on text I won’t tell you on phone. I said, look say it otherwise I’m not replying you. He said okay don’t reply. By that he cut the call. And then he texted me that you think I’m gonna follow you? And blah blah and said fuck off. That’s what I was asking him, that say it on my face why you saying it on messages? Say it on my face or on call. I called him back. He didn’t receive. Around 15 times I called but he didn’t. Even I didn’t have any mistake in all this mess (acc to me) but still I called him for 15 times cause I believe in talking on face. Whatever you wanna say, say it on face and finish it. Don’t know what he believes. Texted him good bye. After that too I called him 4-5 times. But… After all that shit I was so fucking not stable. I was frustrated, I was sad. I don’t know why But I was not feeling well. Whenever someone I’m close to doesn’t talk to me or upset with me, it makes me sad. Until I’m back with that person It doesn’t feel good to me. Thought I’ll write it down then I’ll feel relaxed. So here I am. Feeling like a guy who is ditched by his girl. 🙏
