If the forum can't handle you at your worst, it doesn't deserve you at your best.

I'd offer to leave, but I'm a cunt and no one would give two fucks. Needs to be someone popular. Like Worlds..... Same. Tbh I nearly did leave at I've point because the politics thread was making me feel less than pleasant. But I'm too weak willed to not click on threads with that shiny "new" tab. I doubt anyone would notice my absence as all I do is whinge. Guess we'll never know, as since somebody explained how to mark tabs as read permanently I've been able to more easily ignore it wouldn't say I'm happier as such but I'm less angry and anxious so that's good. (That's in conjunction with ignoring and actual news sites and removing them from newsfeeds as much as possible. The less I know the better. Going full ostrich)

Don't any of you leave, not even the lurkers
If someone has to leave then I will be the fall guy. Goodbye everyone.

quitskingIt might be something that needs to be done on a desktop/laptop browser as I can't find the option on my phone now, even in desktop view. There's a way to select threads and select mark as read permanently. It will still get bumped to the top of recent when somebody posts in it, but it won't recieve the blue notification which makes a huge difference in not wanting to read it. I'll have a look for the option once I'm back at my computer... Anyway, go and meditate!

I remain unclear as to why Ecosse remains banned. I would suggest he gets unbanned to see if he comes back, which he may or may not do.

(That's in conjunction with ignoring and actual news sites and removing them from newsfeeds as much as possible. The less I know the better. Going full ostrich) How do you do the permanent read thing? I'm like you in that I used to avoid certain threads here and I ignore the news sites. If I don't, then I end up worrying. My situation isn't helped by my migraines which can really mess my head up and I've quit in the past when I've had them and felt very "wow is me". I'm also very self critical and have a very low opinion of myself which often leaves me worrying about what I've written and if it upsets anyone. Anyway, I really need to do that meditating... I'm crap at avoiding addictive things, which is why I w quit drinking. Fwiw 40 minutes of meditation sounds a bit daunting, have you thought of doing shorter ones in order to build the habit up? Personally I'd really struggle with 40 minutes a day as a target and I know I'd end up dropping it.

A weird thing to post in the Welcome Back thread
(Seriously, though, that fucking sucks.)

Ah, cool! You've been doing it way way way longer than me! I'd love to do a proper 40 minute one but I have no idea how the hell I'd find the time.

I do regret deleting my profile now tbh. This new one doesn't fit quite as well around the waist and the groin area is too tight.

Not a musing but a question (which I think is still allowed?)….I have a huge collection of video game mags dating back to mid 90s, all in good condition and some very full if not complete sets, just don’t know how to shift them as I don’t want to be pissing around selling individual issues. N-Gamer, Retro gamer, GamesTM, Edge etc. obviously selling in bulk on eBay etc is an option but then shipping is really expensive and a ballache….so anyone got any experience on what best way is to offload? I really cannot face throwing them out but the space they are taking up is getting silly. Was hoping there was some well known retro mag online store that would just buy them off me and sell them on, but I cannot really find anything?

Are they actually worth the hassle of seeking, as in a decent return?
If not you'll have to fight your hoarder urge and give them for free or trip to the dump.

YouthistBulk eBay listings with local collection only could be a viable option, depending upon where you live. A local Facebook sales/swaps group could also be worth a try, with the same location-related caveat applied.

Nah not really looking to make money at all. They are in great condition and I am sure some will be worth a tenner or whatever an issue - but it’s really about not being able to throw them away as it has been a major part of my life I guess. Just can’t do it. I did sell about 7 months ago my entire N64 mag collection to a guy who just wanted to get stoned and read them with his mate as they grew up playing N64 while getting stoned. It was a pleasure letting them go to him! I just cannot imagine dumping them.

I tossed mine in stages.
Hardly ever, ever think about them, despite having issues from when I was still in single digits (Zzzap 64) up to my early 20’s

This is your Free Willy moment. Just 1000x nerdier because it's magazines over a killer whale.

Binned all mine years ago. Miss them occasionally, but most things are available as PDFs online, and my mags would be encrusted with thirty-year-old cola stains and biscuit crumbs.
