/vr/ - Retro Games

>>3710108
Been stuck in the lab since early December trying to get the final revision of our project working before we demo it in 5 days. It's been 4 years in the making, and shit's fucked.

Thus couldn't make it to the folks. Friends have dispersed and none in the vicinity, and though I've been living at my place for 3 years now, I have come to appreciate this past Fall that I have made no friends here. I need interaction of some type, but frankly I don't want to be around people right now.

So I'm alone on and on the internet pissing away the last few hours of a year I don't want to remember in a place I don't care about. I don't mind anonymous boards like 4gay for some reason, but I am an absolute luddite when it comes to Facepage because of how creepy and unnatural it feels.

Anyway I'm on /vr/ for the same reason I'm ever here. I do like old video games. I like playing them, analyzing them, and hacking them. I even used to work at a used video game store.

But I use them as an escape. When alone, I have two options. 1) Think about how shitty I feel on a personal level (especially bad on holidays :D), or 2) constantly distract myself from myself with work, or school, or often times, video games and talking about video games.

Just like anyboard on 4chan (or any well-known community in general), /vr/ has gotten relatively bigger and has lost a lot of identity to endless summer. But there are still a few cool people here. To those that actually engage in good conversation rather than resorting to unintelligible screeching, Happy New Year. To all the rest, lurk moar.
