The General Conversation Area

Yeah, I think this one's the best colour scheme yet.


Thanks, bud. It's not the kind of thing that would fly in face-to-face conversation, obviously, but hopefully I can just about get away with it here!

I dunno. I think if someone had the balls to say that face to face to me, I’d take it as a massive compliment and be riding on a high for a week. That’s not everyone’s style though.

For what it’s worth I think you got away with it on here.

Sorry to interrupt.

Just, thanks for that whole post, Aya. That all means A LOT to me.

I wouldn't normally feel right about saying something like this for fear of it being taken "the wrong way" or whatever, but I honestly don't think you would, so:

Thank you for being here. It's had such a positive effect on my wellbeing lately that I've actually started to forget about a lot of crap and long-held hangups.

I'm so glad you picked AUKN.

Anyway, I hope it was okay to say that. Sorry to have interrupted! 🤐

Short version: we all love having ya here aya :)

I wonder if Neil needs the lift after the alerts we've made him read lately?

Why would I not think it okay to say that dude? It's an absolute pleasure to know I've had some sort of positive effect on your well-being. The thing is, it can be hard to pick up in written messages as to whether someone actually is going though some issues; if you have been going through any kind of hardhips as of late you've certainly not let that come across in your posts. I'd have been none the wiser. Whatever it is that's been hanging over your head, just try to let it go dude - take it from me, I take people at face value and from what I've concluded talking to you here, you really have nothing to worry about. I've been there; worrying too much about what others think about me, and to tell you the thruth, I'm past it now. If it means ending up with no friends, so be it - I'm going to be ME whether you like it or not. Focus more on being you, and doing things that benefit you, instead of pandering to others. I enjoy talking to you here and if this is how you are in person, you should have no worries in connecting with people. We can always make positive changes in our lives, but do it becasue YOU want to do it, not becasue someone else is bullying you into it. I made the change to adjust my attitude and try to be more positive, and despite the recent hardhips in life, I'm a better person overall than I was a decade ago. Look after #1 dude ;)

I can say the same thing, it's been really positive for me to have somewhere I can come to and just have a good laugh, but also vent if needed, without judgement. You've all been super nice to me, and you've made me laugh and smile so much, it's been refreshing to be able to have some sort of escape from the daily struggle.

To anyone, don't be afraid to PM if you want to talk about anything at all. You've all been there for me, I like to think I can do the same in return. I'll always listen and try to understand, even if I can't really do much else.

No need to worry about the way you put things across dude, just say what's on your mind. I always know you're being genuine ^^

Anytime ;)

This is unfortunate. I’ve always tried to pick on you and teach your place as my mionion.

Dude, that's so kind, thank you :)

I really appreciate it. If I've been able to bring some cheer at least, then I'm glad ^^

I feel like the resident onii-chan!

You guys can, I'll just nod approvingly depending on how you react. Already rewatched it recently and loved it to pieces.

I just need to get the season 2 CE. Should get around to buying it, along with everything else I want but my backlog is already sizeable...

Heh. Yeah, definitely not for everyone!

It's just, I dunno, I worry a lot that I'm over-ernest and tiresome and things. But just having been ground down over the years by sustained disappointment with, you know, people, kind of makes you a bit emotionally brittle, I guess. Stuff like this goes a long way towards repairing the damage, though.

Thanks for being a part of that, you evil sadist you. 😉
