The upper forums have been a hellscape for a long time.  The memes reached critical mass a long time ago and now it's just a self-sustaining reaction that covers every thread in a ten post thick crust of "LOOOL MAAAGMAAAAA"

This is a bit of an overstatement, but I have to admit, it's tiring seeing the same thread arise several times in the same day...

Be nice to the upper forums   We all started there once, y'know?  It's a transitional area.  It's silly, friendly, and gives new people a place to get acquainted with the game, learn how to play it, and post the same old fresh ideas for everyone to see Footkerchief to obliterate.  My favorite forum was the suggestion one, but after learning more about the game I gave up on giving suggestions because its taken like... ten years to get this far?  Sure a massive amount of progress has been made, but there's plenty to go.  I gave up on trying to add to the list.

A good amount of the lower forum goers started out in the upper forums anyways. They start out as the average DF player then slowly transition to the lower forums.

Had an Irish dance performance today, just on the street of my town, but I kept messing up and it was very chaotic. I don't think many people noticed, but I felt like it wasn't very good and that it was my fault.

So my parents are away in new orleans for the next three days, and it just so happens that this girl I kind-of sort-of like started texting me today. It's very obvious that neither one of us has plans, but one of us doesn't have transportation (me). I feel so lame having to make somebody drive me to places anyway, compounded on the fact that she's already able to drive and I have like two years. The whole situation is to be put lightly, mildly frustrating.

...

You've got a house to yourself for 3 days, and a girl that likes you with the ability to drive over, and you're /complaining/?

[blackmagechill]

With two younger brothers hell bent on ruining everything I do, yes. I also live in the middle of nowhere.

[zchris13]

Sounds like a good time to kick them out of the house.

[blackmagechill]

I think you guys are exaggeration the possibilities of that going on. And that's completely cool, but it's probably not going to happen. Well, I still have two days of weekend left (I'm on a three-day weekend here).

Was playing Ace of Spades, when for whatever reason, the screen went black. Obviously, it was merely another one of the game's many bugs, so I tried respawning, it didn't help, so I left the game.

That didn't help either. It was about that time I began to smell the most terrifying of all smells... the smell of burning electronics. The smell was emanating from my monitor. D:

I'll miss that monitor... It was a mere 19", but had a native resolution of 1680x1050... Now you can't get anything smaller than 22" with that resolution.

But at least those cost about half of what I originally paid for the old monitor 4.5 years ago.

I feel like the immaturity levels on this forum have gone uP a little lately

Yeah, like people whining about pony fanfic than something that is actually real, like the death of a dear family member.

Some people just get used to death, and pretty much any media outlet could spark an emotional response.

This isn't the "What killed your soul today" thread, it is the generic "What made you sad" topic. There is no minimum level of sadness required to post something here. There should also be no complaining about how inconsequential it may seem to you, because the same thing could be applied to any post in this thread by anyone. This is a venting thread, and unless the venting is directed at someone who is on these boards (out-of-bounds targets) it should not be ridiculed inside this topic.

I'm sorry, I was just thinkin' that the ponies that infect this forum and the rest of the internet have fallen prey to a very smart marketing system.

Ok, I think I might have made some headway into my computer issues. Disabling something called a Microsoft Virtual WIFI Miniport Adapter SEEMS to have relieved the frustrating hairpulling problems, but I fear that some of the previous issues may still be lingering. I'm still sad since it feels like I'm slogging through someone else's shitty design decisions to get what I paid hundreds of dollars for to work the way it's supposed to work.
