Smash 4 Social Thread 3.0

[PsychoIncarnate]

It's extremely unfair and shouldn't be tolerated regardless.
There's nothing she can feasibly do to help herself that wouldn't be an overreaction.

From the parents perspective, they shouldn't have to tolerate a grown adult living with them and no income

 

[Nitric Acid]

This is getting a bit stupid, I'm outta here.

I need to study for finals anyway.

Good idea. Right behind ya.

That's the part I don't fully understand...what poor luck could you have to go through school and college and have no income?

 

[Kikkipoptart12]

Well.

Yesterday, I was forced by mom to quit playing video games permanently.

I tried every which way to convince her, but alas, to her 25 is simply too old to be playing video games. I've run out of time.

I can never buy, or even play, another game again. Which means that, for starters, I'll never finish Xenoblade.

But worst of all...I'LL NEVER BE ABLE TO SMASH WITH MY FRIENDS!!

It look like your mother have a problem with you growing up, she says you'er adult but she is not treating you like you'er one ,you going to have someone else tell her to let you make your own decisions and leave the pass behind her, because he not listening to you so maybe she will listen to someone else.

And for everyone else don't act like you know how life works, It's not like you get a house and a job as soon as you get out of college these things take time some longer than others, there is no reason for you to attack Rie Sonomura for things that are going on her life, If you don't want to be rude don't say anything.

Rie, I'm very sorry to hear this, and while you won't be able to play smash with us, you at least have us to talk with. I believe at this point from now on, I think it's time that you need to set your priorities straight and show your mother that you can and will be a responsible adult. Life can be no doubt hard on most people, but as long as you have the will to get back up and better yourself, then that shows how mature you are. Don't let your mother drag you down because she has to set restrictions on you, cause while I do disagree with your mother's opinions on video games being a bad influence, parents are in a way supposed to help you get your act together. At this point you should set your priorities on meeting with your mom's standards and prove to her that you can be a responsible adult, and earn your right to do what you want. Focus on learning how to overcome that social anxiety and acting natural on a job field, and put all your efforts into writing top-notch resumes and filling out as much job listings as possible. Yes, it does take a bit of random luck to get hired in some way, but, as I said before, you never give up and try again and again.

This advice is coming from someone who is similarity on the same boat as you. Through out the majority of last month, I completely stopped going to college to procrastinate, all the while forgetting the withdrawal dates and making my grades look horrible. A lot of this had to do with the fact that I had some pretty faulty professors at the time and I wasn't really finding that many interesting people to befriend or get romantically involved with that I just stopped caring and said screw it. However, even I know what I did was a terrible thing to do as a living being, and I do believe that I deserved the punishment. I lied to pretty much all of my family relatives and few friends that I had, and I tainted my transcript from possibly having a more succesful life ahead of me. Realizing that, I made a vow to get my act together and work on redeeming these errors I have made, and so far it is slowly working out. I've planned on doing retakes of the four classes I have failed miserably in, fix my bad procrastination habits, and gain the trust of those who I loved back. So far its working alright, I did manage to get the support of my new girlfriend, and I'll do whatever I can to keep that trust of her and everyone I know from breaking off like that again. I'm putting all my efforts into redemption, and I do believe that's what you should do too, Rie. Even if life gets you down, you have to look at the positives. With that said, I wish all the best of luck to you, and hope that you too can find the will to begin anew.

I'm bored because none of the forums I'm following are active atm.
This one is relatively active, but then again, I don't really follow it.

Busy day ahead. I got my theatre final in about an hour, which I've been studying for all morning long.

Ever shown signs of addiction? I.e: never leaving the house, being jobless for long periods of time / not finding a job because of gaming, playing games for more than 12 hours or more straight? Did gaming affect your social life / day to day communications or do you think about gaming all day? Did she ever complain about higher lightning bills cause of your gaming? If any of these things apply, there's base for this to happen; even IF you are 25 (24 myself here).

Advice would be to get your own room and move out. That way, nobody can tell you ****.

 

[FalKoopa]

@Rie Sonomura
That's quite unfortunate (and harsh), Rie. I don't really know what to say, but to avoid a feeling of emptiness that will inevitably come, try to find a replacement to it. Wish you luck that your mother will soften her stance sometime.

EDIT: Long time no see, @ Diddy Kong How've you been?

 

[Kenith]

This was featured in a Cracked photo contest, I found it really funny.

 

[Frostwraith]

@Rie Sonomura If you want to talk about this more privately, I'm willing to listen.

Some of your problems are awfully similar to ones I've dealt in the past (and I'm still dealing with them somehow).

This is basically what I'm trying to say, although I probably seem a lot more pretentious do to the fact I am Jheese from the Ginyu Force.

 

[Diddy Kong]

I myself used gaming to as a way to avoid social life from when I was about 8 till my 15th or so. So don't take my words too harshly either. All I can say is that my life felt much better when I actually went out and socialise with others. It tends to become harder as we grow older and how much time has passed in the meanwhile since our last real social 'moment'. So by all means, break your habbits as soon as possible, and go out and experience life itself, bettering yourself each and every day. That might be the thing that your mother wants you to do, speaking as a horrible son myself (for different reasons, private ones). And believe me, your parents want the best for you.

 

[Blargg888]

@Rie Sonomura Wow, that's... That's awful!
I can't imagine what it must be like for you.
Like everybody else said though, try to find another hobby/past time to help with the lack of video games.
I used to be addicted to video games, to the point where it got bad, but I took up some things (Robotics and Guitar) and nowadays I'm able to regulate myself.

I feel like this gif is going to be used against me one day:

DON'T YOU HAVE EXAMS? THE NEXT ONE HAD BETTER ME

 

[JamesDNaux]

It's fine that you don't prefer the GC controller but that attitude there is really off putting.
Saying "Melee" is pretty ignorant and has nothing to do with it.
I think everyone should just accept there are controller options that works out differently for everyone. The less generalizing from both sides of the argument, the better.

Well I'm sorry if I offended someone, but I was pretty offended myself by the hipster comment. And the ignorant comment.

I don't care what controller someone else uses, I only started by stating my preference until.

How many virtuous, perfect things are you capable of disliking?

I couldn't help but take a crack at the stereotypical Melee attitude.

And man, on the topic of being forced to never play video games...

At the age of 25, one should slap their mother for even thinking of telling them what to do in such a way.




Don't actually slap your mother, that's a terrible thing to do.





But seriously, just play your games with shades on and tell her to deal with it.

 

[Frostwraith]

Ever since I became more open and started getting along better with my classmates and such, I got a lot better, but I still have long ways to go.

Thing is, when you're depressed, you tend to avoid people and it creates a vicious snowball-like cycle.

I would be lying if the fact I met a friend of mine for the first time in years at an anime/manga event didn't help me in dealing with negative emotions.

As a matter of fact, emotional struggles and such are the reason why and are among my favorite video game characters. They're characters I can relate to somehow, but I'll spare the lengthy explanations.

This joke has run its course.

And that is assuming it was funny to begin with. (Hint: it never was.)

 

[RamOne]

@Rie Sonomura I'm really sorry to hear that. I hope everything works out for you in the end and if you ever need someone to talk to, we are here.

Wow, I'm glad for her fans who wanted her in so bad!

I know, too bad Ghiraham couldn't be in. The whole Skyward cast could've been in

 

[Naoshi]

Yeah the hipster comment is pretty uncalled for, I agree. (But two wrongs don't make a right)


@Rie Sonomura Ugh, I don't understand why there's really dumb mothers like that. People are never too old to play video games. I hope something will be sorted out.

EDIT: Realized there's more to the story. Dang, I really don't know what to say. Overly controlling parents are pretty toxic

 

[JamesDNaux]

(But two wrongs don't make a right)

Clearly this needs to be settled in Smash.

The Melee thing was also a joke, as I just mentioned.

 

[Kenith]

I don't know about this Ghiraham guy, but I definitely wish Ghirahim was in Smash!

oh okay fair enough

 

[Deleted member]

Did he also do a lot of pushups and situps?

Judging by the muscle tone, I don't think so.
But he didn't skip Leg Day.

 

[JamesDNaux]

So, if anyone is up for it, I'm still looking for someone to play Smash U with.

 

[Frostwraith]

Ghirahim now has a rival in the fabulous department: Gym Leader Wallace from Pokémon OmegaRuby/AlphaSapphire.

@ Enyalb Tagging you because you've got a really cool avatar.

@Rie Sonomura

You 25 and the reason you are living with your parents is because you need to take care of your dad and aunt, which is definitely a good reason. I would simply suggest to you to ignore your mother, I mean you are a grown-up after all and the reason you still live with them is to take care of the ones with bad health, and if she tries to start a fight with you about simply walk away or tell her that you don't want to deal with it. There shouldn't be much she can do to make you stop and simply don;t let her bait you into a fight.
