You mean friendships that only exist online, or friends you have irl that you talk to online?

That seems to be what all social contact is turning into. If you enjoy talking to your online friends then that's a good thing.

Gamestop.com said that the store by my house had the SNES Classic available, so I ran over there and they told me they sold them all when they opened. Bullshit. They probably have several of them that they're holding for the evening shift employees to buy and scalp on ebay.

I guess it all depends on your personality. I tend to be very quiet IRL social situations because it's too frustrating when I'm misunderstood by others. Then people are shitty to me because they don't understand why I'm not interacting with anyone. I've only known a handful of people in my life that I felt relaxed around because they 'get' me. Probably 99% of the population gets on my nerves and I probably get on their nerves too. It's possible that if I spent enough time with a group of people that eventually some of them might 'get' me, but the interactions typically don't last long enough for that to happen. So for the past 15 years I've been pretty isolated socially, and I don't really have a problem with it. I'm much more relaxed that way. I dread being around people.

i think i've learned to not care if people "get" me and just do what everyone else does. that seems to be the general idea behind socializing

Sure but what they're doing gets on my nerves. I don't want to talk about the shit they're talking about. I don't care about sports, or garbage TV, etc. They're also stupid and wrong about a lot of shit, and correcting them just pisses them off. So I can bite my lip and sit there in annoyed silence. People are fucking idiots.

yeah it is. That's why I like to play video games. It's my escape. Steamworld Dig 2 is calling me now. No one in that universe gets on my nerves.

This is pretty awesome. Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Special Edition. I think $100 is pretty steep though. That's an extra $40 for just a steelbook game case, an art book, and a 5 cent music CD.

i'm actually still playing xenoblade x ... almost 90 hours in now, and i still have a lot to do. like probably 40+ more hours. i'd love to 100% it someday cause it doesn't really get old

Aren't all videogame special editions ridiculously overpriced? I don't even bother and always get the regular editions.

i've never bought a special edition in my life, unless it costs the same like in the case of last story and xenoblade 1

i view them as nothing but a waste of money
