Heyyyy! A new thread is as good as any. :P
I've decided to leave not only the Playstation OT, but I'm going to be more-or-less absent from ERA altogether. While I was waiting for the PS5, bundled with the pandemic, I was posting like crazy. I started my own website to write about games and started various social media accounts. When PS5 launched, I realized just how excited and happy about the games I was. At the same time, I realized how much things like Twitter, my website, and even ERA, sucked the joy out of gaming. I quickly realized that the happiness I feel always got destroyed by the endless amount of posts about how bad everything is - not only regarding Playstation... It's every corner of the industry. :P
The thing is, it's no one's fault. I just get... Not depressed, but you know - sad? by that fact, which is why I've stayed away from the internet pretty much altogether. :) I'm even playing through the Endgame of Avengers, and actually LOVING it. In 30 hours I'm almost at Power Level 150 with Ms. Marvel!!!!
However, I'd like to say some things to certain people:
N0body - My Swedish buddy, my best ERA-friend. Thank you for our like 10000 messages in DMs on ERA, thank you for helping me conquer Demon's Souls to the point I got the platinum, thanks for everything! I hope we can talk in various places anyway (I'll still have this account active and write from time to time, just not actively) - THANK YOU!!!!
Queen Vulpix - You're one of the kindest human beings I've ever encountered. THANK YOU for the Christmas card and sticker, I really hope that you got my card too!!!! (If not, send me a DM and I'll at least send you pictures of how it looked), remember that you're an amazing human being, and as we talked about, both you and I doesn't have to say sorry for small trivial things :) thank you for all the support and friendship you've shown!
KatharsisT - Thank you for supporting me and backing me up on various things. Also, thank you for sharing certain industry secrets at points. I get messages on Twitter pretty frequently and see people on ERA post stuff about how "bad" I, and the Bluepoint rumor is - and A. I don't blame them, and B. I have no clue how you still do what you do because I see you getting it 10x more :P Again, thank you so much. And the secrets you've sent to me are safe with me!!! Hopefully, we can still stay in touch and have a party when our respective things happen in 2021 :)
Angie22 - Yo Angie! We haven't interacted a whole lot on the forum, but I've always loved how you interact with everyone and the insight you share. Also, your roasts of
Knight are amazing (sorry
Knight lol), hopefully, we can somehow interact more in the future!
Knight - Thank you so much for supporting me every step of the way, with everything I do. You're also a very supportive human being, and I really appreciate that. Also, your art is amazing! Can't wait to follow your progress in the future :)
SoulsHunt - My FROM hype-guy! Sorry for letting you down at TGA, I honestly let myself down and learned a lesson :) Hopefully, you'll both see and get Elden Ring VERY soon, and that you'll be excited by it :) Thanks for the various DMs also!!!
Bundy you're the coolest person on ERA; I'm sure of it. I pretty much always enjoy your takes, and think you're one of the best voices on the forum most of the time! Thanks for letting me take part in your insight :) I always love your takes on acquisitions!
PlanetSmasher I have never interacted with you I believe, but I just wanted to say the opposite to you that I did to Bundy, your insight is great but I don't think I have agreed with you on a single thing you've ever said LOL. I don't mean that in a bad way, I love what you say regarding the gaming industry. I believe it was the "How many 10/10 in 2020 did you play", and I thought "damn, 3 maybe? What a year" and then read you say something like "Not a single one, 2020 was a horrible year for gaming" or something like that. Laughed a solid 10 minutes
JuanLatino thanks for making 17 amazing OTs, I've enjoyed them all. Great work and keep doing what you do :)
I'm sure I've missed like 10 people, I will send DMs to some people throughout the upcoming week, for example, I've grown friends with someone over at the Animal Crossing OT that I also appreciate. Sorry if I forgot someone, I didn't mean to!
I'm subsequently "killing" my Twitter and Website. Or, more accurately, they'll still be there, but I'm going to stop post on them. :)
Remember: Games are supposed to be a hobby, and at the end of the day Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo, are multi-billion companies that have their own, various strategies. We perhaps don't have to be absolutely in panic mode if Sony doesn't acquire a development team, or if a game has "bad" reviews, etc. As I said, I'm loving Avengers, and I have barely seen someone said a positive thing about it on ERA lol. Remember to not only focus on the bad parts of the industry, which is not to say that criticism is ALWAYS good, and valid. But... Remember that positivity is equally as important!
My final request for ERA, whatever you may feel about me:
Remember that a Playstation Crossover game is all we need in life.
With that said, I beg you a final farewell. At least for now! Have a good one Playstation OT, it's been good knowing you :)
