KINGS QUEST? SPACE QUEST? POLICE QUEST? ETC QUEST?

Oh boy, there is a world of puzzle pleasure and hilarious adventures waiting for you!

Play Space quest 1. The learning curve is steep, but its truly funny and amazing.

It has inspired me lately to make an RPG using text input and minimalistic graphics.

YouTube comment:

what does this have to do with bowling? I came to this youtub site because my grandson said I could find bowling here but I don't see any bowling at all and I'm starting to think that my grandson is on the drugs again and I keep telling his mother that the only way to make a man out of him is to put him in the army that's where he'll learn some respect or die trying but you know that skank never listens to me THIS HAS TOO MUCH BELLS AND NOT ENOUGH BOWLING

Is it weird that the most comforting thing to me is that humans are disgusting filthy lying stupid monkeys and that I know everything that has or will ever exist will fall apart and disappear without any trace and that meaning is meaningless and that everything is just void nothingness? I literally think about this stuff every single day and it makes me feel warm inside. I feel like understanding the depravity and vacuum of everything makes me optimistic but that seems contradictory. I don't think I'm a pessimist or a nihilist anymore, I reject both of those things. In fact I reject writing off my beliefs as anything and I think people don't understand the fallibility and limits of language almost always.

I think people think I'm depressing but I feel perfectly content with everything.

Yeah i get that and i'm similar to a certain degree. I think nihilism can be very liberating if you spin it the right way.

It's probably quite a comforting thing for someone to think about, especially if they are intelligent. It makes all the trivial meaningless bullshit worthless, which is uplifting in a way.

I don't think it's weird at all. I don't know how you know some of these things, but I can definitely relate. Instead of thinking you're depressing, people should try to understand why you think the way you do-- naturally, that won't happen very often.

In my experience, contentment is fragile and madness is seemingly always right around the corner.

Well I can't know anything, but I guess that's part of it too :lol: kinda just reinforces the fact. But yeah I've made some people uncomfortable trying to explain myself but no I can tell when people are in a similar boat or not too. I'm not trying to place myself above anyone either, I feel like that's really important to avoid.

But no I agree 100%, madness and contentment are different sides of the same coin in that way. It's how you handle the information.

I'm feeling pretty low. It happens from time to time, like, I dunno for a few days at a time, once a month. Man period! Seriously tho...
I have this feeling like what I would describe as an intense feeling of isolation... I want to be alone, and feel a masochistic loneliness. Or something. I've never really spoken about it until quite recently, but I have been seeing a lot about various forms of depression online (i.e. it keeps just cropping it up) and have become more aware that it's kinda normal and you have to talk about it really.
So here I am. It's the kind that you feel guilty about. My life is awesome, etc etc, usual stuff, but there's obviously no sense in going down that road.
When I'm feeling good I feel like I have the answer to all of life's problems, you know, like... I have all these ideas and boundless enthusiasm for executing them etc etc etc. When I'm feeling down, I can barely be bothered to feed myself. It's a weird thing.
I don't think there would be any sense in medicating. I don't really know how I feel about going to a doctor and saying that I'm -depressed- for example, because I don't really think it's a particularly bad case or anything. But I dunno, I'm not sure if that's just irrational. No idea.
