Hm! I'll keep that in mind. Anything to streamline the mayhem!

Don't feel bad, I use a pad as well. I'm just surprised you had to use Xpad, usually you don't need it except for those that refuse to include the support. Anyway, glad to see another old hand at the game come back into it!

Way to soldier on, Spectral, you got mad respect from the fine folks here as well as myself. Keep on keepin' on! As for myself, nothing as potent as the above, or probably not important at all. *shrugs* My hands hurt a bit, so I'll give you the abridged version: I'm 31, Gemini, been playing games since I was 3 with the ol' Atari. Straight, Cis, white, etc. etc. (Sorry, habit. Tumblr is a toxic world, tread with care) I have a dry, sarcastic, almost British sense of humor. I finished high school. Hey... Why am I listing crap? Because, until recently, I was a very sheltered boy, and didn't know a lot of anything. Back in '96, my mother was diagnosed with MS(Multiple Sclerosis), likely triggered from the stress brought on from the abusive relationship she was in at the time. I took it upon myself to take care of her, and for a time, all was well. But long story short, she slowly got worse, to the point that I had to have her put into a nursing home to heal and mend. Turns out there was a lot more wrong with her than we knew, because she never went to a doctor(combination of lack of knowledge of insurance coverage and her own fear of hospitals). Things quickly slid down from there. I'm trying not to come off as a sob story, so I'll wrap things up here. Basically, the house got foreclosed, because her SSI money all went to her care, the State literally told me not to care for her after this(now she's been in and out of the home twice, and Michigan is REAL strict when it comes to anything that could be seen as elder abuse, even if it's not), and if not for a VERY good friend/ex, I would be homeless right now. I've had to learn to deal with depression without meds, because they have a history of jacking me up, so things like this are an outlet to keep me sane. Ok, I'm done wasting your time with meaningless banter. Back to the killin'!

Ah, thanks for all the warm welcomes and 80,000,000,000 links! Jeees, half this stuff I never knew existed.... I'm going to update my profile while I peruse these great reads with char names and all that(item #1 is an ICON). Here's to raiding the landscape in the near future!

Greetings! Don't mind me, I'm just some random old guy reliving the heyday of awesome gamin'. I used to play PSO solo on the ol' Gamecube(no internet at all until, like, my 18th birthday, and even then, it was dial-up), but now that I have a competent laptop (I can run Skyrim just fine...at roughly 25-30 fps, but it WORKS, so I'm not complaining), and after hearing some youtube folk musing over this said game and possibly busting it out for a stream someday, I decided to hunt around and found this fancy place. ANyway, I'll keep this short, enjoy your day, maybe we'll run into each other out there.
