I've always wondered what it's like.

Turns out, (according to the US government) I was experiencing it all along.

I used to hate when this happened to me. Someone reviving a post from ages ago to answer a question that I already found months/years ago.

But hey, it could help someone else in the future if I didn't go back and post the answer to my own question (spoiler alert: I didn't) so now I just do what OP does and thank them for their time, move on with my day. Chuckle at the stupidity of my youth.

Some people get angry about things like that. Just be chill, they probably didn't notice how long ago it was posted.

The only celebrating I do is eating slightly more unhealthy, take the day off work unless it's going to be a short day, and maybe look to see if any games in my "maybe if it's on steep sale" list are on sale.

That's it.

I don't remind people, I dont expect anyone to remember, but it's nice when they do.

My excuse for missing people's birthdays is I DO know the date.... I just don't know what the date today is. Sure I know my sister was born on the 12th, but that doesn't matter if I think today is the 10th and it's actually the 15th...

So if I have that much problem, it wouldn't be very chill to be upset with others for missing mine.

I had put so many hours into trying to sort my bases for NG that I didn't even want to try and start over for NG+.

If I ever DO decide to pick it up again, assuming the save is still compatible I made a separate save file before finishing the game just to be sure.

Who knows, maybe someone will make mods to make it the game we all wanted it to be and I'll give it another go.

Star field couple have been a lot of things if people who haven't picked up a controller in decades hadn't decided to try and make it as generic and casual as possible.

And maybe it's just me, but the second I

spoilerfinished the portal and restarted the game
, I lost all interest in playing the game itself.

They made the content of individual plays not matter to me, so once I did a few speed runs to the finish line I just deleted the game and haven't played it since.

Also i could never figure out their base management system. I was hoping for something like "fallout 4 settlements in space" but all I got was "way less complicated Satisfactory".

I stopped playing about a month after it came out, so there's a chance they fixed some issues that I didn't know were issues, but I still haven't had the desire to try playing it again.

Attorneys don’t just file a suit because their client said so: they generally need to be shown there’s an actionable case with a chance if winning

Man, I used to believe that.

The last 8 years have shown me otherwise.

My wife isn't quite nerdy enough to get this yet, and my parents haven't watched TNG in so long they don't remember the phrase.

I have nobody who gets this in my life...

I see no reason to "cut myself off" at any point, I still find games released in the last few years that look interesting, and some with release dates TBD that look neat.

I haven't bought a new console since July 2015 and have no plans to buy a new generation any time soon.

When my current console dies, I might upgrade, but likely I will find a cheap used replacement and keep playing what I already have.

Someday I will update all my stuff, just not today.

News flash!

This, just in: "Leaders of capitalist meat grinders prepared to lie to keep money flowing and try to pull in more"

I'm shocked.

Hey, I've seen this one.

A prehistoric virus is gonna infect someone with coldness until a plucky US-Marshall-turned-sherrif saves the day with his science-mined friends and colleagues.

I follow the proud American tradition my grandfather had of fighting fascism.

If the government of the states decides to be fascist, well...
