Couldn't help but notice that "Music To Be Murdered By" photo on your profile and "Slim" in Slim Vanilla. Are you a stan?

Yes, but not to that extent.
For months I’ve been on a massive Eminem binge, I’m listening to his music more than ever before. I’m someone who focuses a lot on the things I enjoy but I’m not insane, if that’s what you’re asking. I go through fazes like so many, I’m never sure when the current ones will end and be overtaken by another interest.
It’s works similar to when I was growing up I’d go from enjoying sports cars to liking graffiti / street art, fast forward over a decade later and this is still the case but my overall management of not letting these things take over too much of my life feels different to me. Great awareness of how others may think of the way I express my interests is something that can get to me with questions like the one you’ve asked me, but I don’t believe you’re doing anything wrong.
Soon I will be changing my forum name and image for a little while (which I had planned anyway) but the stuff I show will still be kind of the same, at least during that time.

I hope you didn't get the wrong impression of what I asked. Maybe if I were to reword it then I would've used "fan" instead of "stan".
I asked because I myself am a huge Eminem fan and I've been on a massive binge as well. My fav album is The Eminem Show (2002) and second place is Recovery (2010). I love his lyrical work including wordplay and a bunch of entendre in his verses.
I just enjoy seeing people with similar interests.
I don't see anything wrong with expressing interests at all. If anything, I see it as a way of an ego boost and self-confidence. In that particular fashion, the public will acknowledge what you like and what you deem as an apple of your eyes, which again, I see no problem of.

@MaximumOverdrive I’ll admit, I did read your question as somewhat of an attack on my pride. Apologies for this. Seeing you’re into Sonic The Hedgehog I imagined you would be understanding of interests. Regardless, I believe I got the wrong idea.
Responding to your paragraph about your favourite album(s), mine is The Marshall Mathers LP, then The Slim Shady LP comes second but only just. I feel The Eminem Show has a few holes here and there structurally however that could just be me nitpicking at very minor flaws. All the rest I won’t continue talking about from here, I’d rather write about my full thoughts some place else.

[Grand Theft Auto IV] There goes the single player portion - 100%! There's another portion, that everyone knows. I've heard terrible things about the plat blocker, the multiplayer.💀

[Grand Theft Auto IV] After all this time, I thought this was, like Rockstar's hardest game (correct me if I'm wrong), but I'm actually having fun and this just gives another reason why GTA is one of my favourite game franchises ever. I can't believe I used to relate a game's difficulty to it's overall trophy rating.
Anyway, so I just finished pigeon hunting and apparently I still have 3 (now 2 flying rats left). I have no idea how I could've missed them before. One thing I learned about collectibles is that never start collecting until you're collecting in one run. This lesson is most especially important if you're dealing with something like blast shards from inFamous, a map with a load of objects like that or pretty much any Ubisoft game. Here's hoping I can find the remainder and move on to the next part in this portion of the game.

@MaximumOverdrive Indeed. It's probably one of the less favored entries in the franchise alongside the first two originals that had a top-down perspective. Most people usually fondly remember San Andreas and Vice City (myself included) but I also think GTA IV gets far less credit than it actually deserves. I haven't gotten to play GTA V yet, but to me, the IV installment was an incredible game all throughout.
Oh, that thing with Kate. I never experienced it myself but I've heard it is a glitch of some sort? It'd be weird if Rockstar left that on purpose. But still, it's kinda creepy that you still get calls from her even though she's supposed to be dead. 😅

@MaximumOverdrive I have somewhat an unpopular opinion (or perhaps popular? lol idk) but anyway I preferred GTA 5 helluva lot more than GTA 4. Don't get me wrong, GTA 4's story was phenomenal but the grey and dark world (which I understand was needed to set the atmosphere) killed my enjoyment of the game. Add the fact there's hardly anything to do in the open world (not even customize cars) then it felt kinda boring.
GTA 5 really improved the gameplay department. While the story wasn't as good, I still enjoyed it and I'd definitely prefer to play that over GTA 4 again if I were to do it again. I hope you like it! -
@Honor_Hand The creepier part is that on the phone when she calls, it's actually from "Unknown Caller". Damn😅
@PooPooBlast Are you kidding? I think GTA V is better than IV. I agree that there's a lot more to do in Los Santos than in Liberty City. That "grey and dark world" remark came from outta nowhere and really funny how you mentioned it.😂
I keep thinking (or kept thinking, actually) that somehow and somewhere down the line, Rockstar would remaster Vice City and have it be the host venue of GTA 6, like how Los Santos and Liberty City were in GTA 4 and 5. I also think that PS5 reveal livestream would've had more than 2M views if they had made that the main event lmao.
