TET: Less Spam Than A Monthy Python Sketch

[Nanatsu no Tsuki]

At your age, you can dedicate more time to gaming than, say, someone who lives alone, has to work and take care of their own place. They make time, but it's more reduced than someone living at home and just attending school.

Perhaps, but recently at least, I've been quite busy. And I've already devoted myself to leaving the UK as soon as possible.

Well, during exams time, sure. If you weren't busy with study, you would flunk.

[Lordieth]

There is that, but I get bored easily. I can get super focussed sometimes, but that requires me to stop thinking about multiple things at once, which is rare.

Do you over-think your gaming?

I wouldn't say so. It's more so that I find many games repetitive in a bad way. Formulaic. I like novel game concepts, or games that are repetitive in a good way, like rogue-likes, but the majority of standard genre titles have changed little over the last ten years.

Which, unlike many in my classes, I intend not to do. I may only need to pass one more exam, but passing all 6 would be good for my record.

[Hurdegaryp]

Not even a shred of romanticism left in your materialistic soul?

Now, I'm not one to compare my upbringing to Great Expectations, but that's exactly what I'm doing.

Strange, you do not seem to be the miss Havisham type.

Not even a shred of romanticism left in your materialistic soul?

She tried to make me get a job, Hurde. A job. What is that about, eh? Complete lack of soaring soul.

And you got a job, if I recall recent developments correctly. A retail job, even. Maybe she was right all along!

I asked because I've had a few friends who do that. And I think that over-thinking your gaming makes you enjoy the experience less.

You prefer more novelty when it comes to story-line and gameplay tactics in them then? Because yes, there's a certain formula and you see it in many games.

[Immoren]

huh?
*searches*
I didn't know that Immortal had an album with such name.

Guess you learned something new today.

Slow down Socrates.

Are you going to college in the UK or abroad?

Are you going to college in the UK or abroad?

As of right now, the UK. But I'll likely go to uni abroad, most likely the US.

He's back doing what he loves best, complaining about unemployment and lack of disposable funds.

And movies. And literature. Themes get repeated, it's a cultural thing.

And go where?

A temporary retail job over half a year after we split. Not really much correlation there.

[Nanatsu no Tsuki]

As of right now, the UK. But I'll likely go to uni abroad, most likely the US.

Goodness kid, tuition over here is a killer. And that's not in a good way. I can't deny there are some good unis in the US but the tuition is too fucking expensive.

[The Blaatschapen]

Update.

The poo is real. Next level spiritual awareness approaching.

Has it developed culture and language yet?

It's speaking French, so no.

You see that a lot in RPGs.

Yeah, but my family are hardly poor, and I'd be 18 by the time I got there. I know how much Americans love to tip Brits.

Ack, conflict! Aaaaah!

[Hurdegaryp]

Slow down Socrates.

Now that would make a fine title for a rock & roll classic!

Terroble, just terrible.

State universities are less pricey.

[The Blaatschapen]

I still do console, occasionally. Dragon Age 1 and 2, LBP, TES... good times.

I don't console anymore, because I don't have TV, nor quite a room for it....
...I just realized that this PC-monitor probably could double as monitor for console also.

I went the other way around, I bought a TV that doubles as a PC monitor.

Then again, I hardly use it as a TV

Yeah, I like to see new concepts, or familiar genres with interesting concepts. Sometimes just a good story is enough, but I don't enjoy generic games much.

I thought so too. Glad I got out of it, tbh.

At least $20,000 dollars a year for a good education? You must be a damn good server.

It just took you a while to acknowledge the wisdom of her words.

Having a look, Northeastern would probably be the best choice for me.
