I have been giggling at this line for about two minutes now .

I still often use italics for titles.

It doesn't.

But he's done it a few times recently and so it was time for a reaction.

Response > Reaction but I get you.

Just a bit of tough love :wub:

I'm fully aware that I was a total arsehole all those years ago. A combination of macho bullshit, military indoctrination, and untreated depression and PTSD. I look back on those days and I hate who I was back then.

What even is life if you don't cringe hard at yourself looking back more than a couple of months even.

Raise your lowest tides. And never waste the pain.

Nothing but cringe when looking back at my old posts. But imagine it being the opposite, and looking back and thinking that was your peak intelligence :dread:

Reading some of my posts from 2008 was fairly uncringy, aside from a possibly misguided joke about German stereotypes, in a thread posted by a German (Aerishime).

I try not to look back and, if I do, I look to focus on the better aspects. Doesn't always work out like that, though.

It is possible to check my previous "jawa" accounts. I don't, though, because I don't like to look back over old disagreements; that feels a bit pointless. I do occasionally search out old Club U stuff, though!

I didn't search your posts, but I wondered what the first mention of wasps was on the forum.

It didn't disappoint. :lol:

I'll spare the blushes and anonymise the username.

Mate, it sounds like you have gone through a lot of gooseberry fool. I hope you're doing ok. Love who you are.

Thank you man, that means a lot. I'm in a much better place than I used to be these days.

Is that because you're someone elses problem now? :slol:

(seriously though, glad to hear you're doing better these days - I can't imagine half the stuff you went through, I remember a lot of your older stories from here).

I've told this story before, but there was one E3 where Capcom accidentally released the Lost Planet demo early and I was online in the 20 mins when you could grab it so I did.

Anyway ET saw me playing it when he couldn't and sent me death threats. :slol:
