from here (http://www.smbc-comics.com/?id=2722). I wasted a lot of time escaping in video games. Probably at least one of those lives, and I didn't master anything in the first one, either. I'm glad to be done escaping, I'm not the kind of guy that can half-ass stuff- I get obsessed. It was a lot of fun, but I'll never be able to just "play casually".

Probably not that, but you get the idea, even if you are wont to be patronizing about it. Not that I don't enjoy reading and writing poetry- I'll definitely be doing a fair deal of both as well as other things- passions fallen by the wayside in years spent sleepwalking, escaping, addicted- that don't involve some pixel-based avatar of myself, haha. The artificial life was there when I needed it, when I was broken, filled with doubt and in need of comfort, but it did not offer any real fulfillment (beyond the fun experiences with fun people in teamspeak- which do not require the artifice aspect to exist). So I'm on a journey to live more deliberately (though I may not do so as fully as Thoreau, initially, perhaps someday I will). Good luck with whatever yours entails!
We must march my darlings, we must bear the brunt of danger, We the youthful sinewy races, all the rest on us depend, Pioneers! O pioneers!
The last time I played any vidya game (or had any desire to) was November 22nd, so you might want to update that to like, two months or something, haha. Though I've uninstalled Steam and all that was with it (account for sale/barter), and have retired and will soon delete my character on here. I'll still be playing games, just, you know, the type which utilize my human body more fully and are of the infinite variety versus the finite sort. Thanks for the vote of confidence, though, and don't let the bastards get you down!
WITCHCRAFT you're one of a kind man, and I love you. I'll get that tarot reading in this life, or the next, I'm sure.
Anyhow, it's not like this comic was the impetus for my departure from my shit lifestyle (of which vidya games were but a part)- that's been an ongoing thing for many months now- but I thought it related, and considered that perhaps there were others like me, going through the motions, becoming distracted by and invested in trivial things without true relation to their hearts and minds, and that maybe they would see this and realize that life can change, that our experiences are the most vitally important things we can know, and that we are powerful and worthwhile, all of us.

You have my respect for what it's worth, brother. Walk on always in confidence.

I wish I had the motivation to pull my lazy ass away from games. But I guess it's too late; too many red hearts and mushrooms with green dots have been consumed.
