Space is definitely not my issue, I happen to be getting quite a decent sized room.

Yeah, it will be nice to be free from my family, especially when they make my life so miserable. They aren't really my family.

In MMOs, or even regular RPGs, I tend to spend more time walking around than anything. It could probably be called a "walking sim" for me, but for some particular reason, I enjoy it. I enjoy following the roads, not really veering from them, and slowly traveling to new towns. I never fast travel, I never use any methods to move quickly from place to place. I like walking, enjoying the atmosphere. I actually added a few mods to Oblivion to make you move even slower, just to appreciate things even more. A rather weird quirk to have, since most people love moving fast. As I have said, there is a reason I love Thief, the game is designed around the mentality of moving slow and taking your time. That appeals highly to me.

I tend to rotate between stuff, but usually end up doing the same things over and over as a general rule. I have a bad memory, plus I just enjoy seeing familiar sights and appreciating the world. It all depends on how much challenge there is. Plus, if it is somewhat unpredictable, all the better. Playing the same thing over and over can get repetitive, static is something that tends to bug me over time. I hate playing a game and knowing "go over here and you can get this, then go here and do this". I rather have a general idea, but have random surprises happen, even if it is just every so often. I am really getting into Oblivion due to this, it is unstable, but also quite entertaining because you don't know what you will get. I have had enemies decide to slaughter entire towns except for a few people that they hold prisoner on a boat that used to belong to a ruling faction before they were wiped out because they walked into the water and forgot how to swim. That type of stuff is just awesome to me, especially if none of it is scripted, it just randomly occurred because that was the mentality of the AIs.

What I tend to notice is that most people are essentially NPCs. I am not entirely sure we are surrounded by as real people as us. You say you are living in hell, they don't even hear you. You say "weird things", their programming freaks out as they cannot comprehend it. I state an epiphany, they can't even grasp it, and instead continue rambling about their beliefs... even if mine pretty much refuted it. It is like I am not holding conversations, but dealing with people in echo chambers, and that gets frustrating. I want someone to respect me, to value my opinion. That is why introverts are generally better. But then they wish to be alone a lot, so you end up isolated.

It is a very weird one indeed, shirtless men spinning around sure isn't what I would consider normal.

Truthfully, the part that matters the most to me is that there is someone here who cares. It means a lot that you talk about the adventures I go on. I guess that is something I really like, having a bigger purpose. It gets depressing when it is entirely ignored and forgotten because nobody can really bother with it. I am grateful that you keep me company on these trips, it is one of my main motivating factors in truth.

You know, that is one thing that definitely gets under my skin. People trying to be fake and sophisticated just end up relying on a thesaurus to sound smarter than they really are. There is a pretension with words, I admit I tend to vary my vocabulary a bit, but this is just how I naturally talk. I feel there is no real need to make things sound more complex than they really are; simple can be just as effective and has the benefit of reaching a wider audience. Even more than people who get pretentious with word choice are those who like classical music, they tend to love to insult you. After all, if you can't appreciate classical music, obviously you are mentally stunted and can't appreciate true art. It can't be that it is all subjective to certain tastes and that I find classical music to be little more than "sophisticated" wankery as people pretend that it is all something more than it really is. Listening to classical music does not make you a genius, get over yourself. I could be happy going through life without hearing one more rendition of Ave Maria.
