The Sims 3

The Sim and the dog are very close friends. When the dog was alive, he would always sleep on his owner's bed. Now that the dog passed away, he returns to the house as a ghost every night to sleep with his owner.

Being with a girl I no longer love. Can never convince myself that people are genuinely nice to me. I'm not saying everyone in the world is shallow or a jerk. I just don't think I'm likeable. Whenever someone says something nice or does something nice for me I just think they're doing it out of politeness or pity.

It's artificial form of entertainment designed to create a sense of achievement. I don't do drugs to cope with depression or difficult times, I play videogames nigga. They make me feel like I'm achieving something when in reality all I'm doing is burning time and ignoring my problems. Videogame abuse is a form of escapism.

A mixing pot of crippling self-doubt, bouts of depression, and loneliness.

Just to pass time, which I have a lot of, even with putting 40-50 hours a week into work.

It's cheap entertainment, and I listen to music when I do play. Even when I sleep, I listen to ASMR videos and the like.

I can't do silence with no distractions. I'd reflect too much, and life isn't where I though I'd be in my early 20s, getting close to my mids.

Lately, I've been thinking about how I didn't let a relationship, that could have been pretty good, happen. This cute girl who was our bartender used to buy me a couple shots after work, we flirted a lot, eventually had sex, and just had fun when we were together, which was only work, but it was slow and we had time to talk. Beyond that, though? Her Facebook invite still sits unaccepted, I return her texts, which seldom come now, a couple of days later, and I always had an excuse about why we couldn't hang out after work.

She eventually quit, and I miss flirting with her all night. She was easy as fuck to get frustrated. I refuse to text her now, convinced I missed a "window" and now it'll just be awkward on both sides. I actually hung out a bit during payday, hoping she'd come through for her check.

Not /r9k/, so I'll ease up. But that's what I've been trying to drown out lately. Before that, it was regrets about not going to college, despite everyone I know having a lot of debt now, and not making the best of every opportunity I had.

Not many people appreciate it though, people prefer you to be fake and spout compliments left and right even if you don't give a fuck.

The only guy I liked throughout high school dumped me at the end of summer because I hate speaking and apparently that's a bad thing.

Loneliness.

The main reason for me playing videogames is to be able to talk about videogames with people. I feel out of place when I can't enter a thread on /v/ in fear of spoilers or being unfamiliar with a videogame reference. I haven't really talked to anyone since last year. My very few conversations consist of work related things or talking to people at cashiers.

I live by myself. I don't really have friends or family over. Sometimes I pretend my roommate is Elizabeth from Persona 3.

This is pretty common actually. If you're the type who actually gives a shit about fiction and not a LOLSKIPALLTHECUTSCENES cockmongler odds are you'll eventually reach a point where you know most of what there is to know about a game's universe and characters, because it's written so that you can find out.

It's hard to know everything there is to know about another person, even a friend. I've known my best bro for 13 years and I still can't say either of us knows everything about the other.

Embarrassment and shame.

Parents don't talk to me unless they want me to do something or they want to scold me. When I text or call my friends, the text replies are always very short and the calls don't last more than 5 minutes.

Work and academic obligations, usually. Also the loneliness that creeps up on you every once in a while when you live alone and don't work at having a vibrant social life.

Lack of accomplishments.

I play games where there's a lot of grinding involved so it feels like I'm improving something day by day.

Ok /v/, bear with me for a minute. Your initial reaction will surely be one of disgust, followed by the desire to vomit but please, steel yourselves for one twisted tale.

Today was my day off from work and I figured "hey, instead of doing something recreational or even borderline interesting, let's get wasted!" So I hopped over to the local ghetto liquor store, manned and operated by Koreans who can't speak a lick of English. But despite their lingual handicap, they had identified a market of desperation here in the ghetto and set up shop, to the joy of hoodrats and chagrin of community leaders everywhere.

Normally I'm something of a beer snob and only drink the finest of piss waters but I was feeling adventurous and opted for something cheap and dangerous. In the spirit of experimentation and frugality, I picked up two bottles of Mad Dog 20/20 Kiwi-Lemon and Dragonfruit, a bottle of RED Cisco and 3 cans of Raspberry Twisted Ice Tea. I think my grand total came to less than 9.75$.

The bum standing behind me mumbled his compliments at my determination to get smashed as FUCK. In hindsight he was probably trying to warn me but he wasn't in full possession of his teeth.

So I got home and started pounding down the Mad Dogs. Anyone familiar with Mogen David knows these bad boys go down easy but they have quite a kick if you attempt it on an empty stomach. Stupidly, I thought my generous helping of Chicken katsu would keep me in the balance.

By the time I set down the last Mad Dog, my head was spinning but I still had my resolve about me to see it through. I next tackled the Twisted Ice Teas; juvenile, petty malts consumed by the fake brave.

Nevertheless, these sinister brews turned my stomach inside out and I made a trip to the water closet to summon the Earl, twice.

Brightly colored chunks of my afternoon Chicken Katsu made their debut inside my toilet. I was shitting a rainbow, only with my mouth.

Wiping away the last bits of acidic slop from my chin, I cracked open the Red and made like the Cisco kid. 2/3 of the bottle finished I began to hallucinate I WAS the Cisco Kid, chasing banditos around my apartment. At one point I loudly proclaimed my love for Mama Fratelli and my lustful desire to fuck her wrinkled pussy whilst screaming HEEEEY YOU GUUUUUUYS!

Finally the Cisco was finished and with a loud belch, I patted myself on the shoulder for a job well done. No sooner was I congratulating myself when I felt a fart stuck in my colon, trying to break free from it's chains. I squeezed for about 10 seconds until a resounding squeak erupted, followed by a warm sensation between my ass cheeks.

With all the eloquence of a drunk eating his own shit, my hands reached down between my moons and felt around. Suddenly an eldritch stench I can only describe as 'dogs breath' wafted from my arse. I brought up my fingers to discover I had shitted out a thick, viscous heaping of MUCUS.

I ran to the bathroom, dropped trow and proceeding to shit out the rest of this snot fest. For 3 whole minutes nothing but white, sticky snot erupted from my asshole.

After a brief wiping and several blasphemes, I stood and examined my work.

Remember the saliva stuff those xenomorphs from ALIEN secreted freely like Mana from heaven? Yeah. I had caked the bowl of the toilet with this thick, sticky snot-like substance. What surprised me most was the complete lack of actual fecal matter. The snotty offal itself had a subtle hint of yellow to it but there wasn't a drop of shit in that bowl. The smell was thick, salty and as earlier stated, smelt of dog's breath. I was overcome with an insane desire to consume this smelly shit snot, no doubt thanks to my inebriated insanity. Thankfully I resisted all temptations like Christ and flushed the commode.

I spent the next 10 minutes in the shower alternating between puking and shitting out more butt boogers. I finished up, put on a robe and sat out to write this story to you /v/.

So my question is: why was I shitting out mucous?

I only play Dota but even then it's because my friends play it.

I don't play video games out of enjoyment anymore, I think I've grown to become too critical or I just don't like them now.

The internet, though, is real distraction. Real escapism. Whether it be on sites of nothing like 9g@g, 4chan, facebook or youtube, or sites where I like to pretend that I am learning something, such as wikipedia or some news website, it is all ultimately escapism.

I'm trying to squelch it out. This internet lays worms in my stomach and in my brain every time I use it.

I want to travel, have myself be physically and mentally tested over a period of time in an overall global effort to help others. Yes, even with a cliche, climactic challenge at the end.

And I know I will never have this unless it is, as you said, artificially created for me.

I wish people still made threads about this game movie.

I just played it this past weekend and missed the boat.
