The only thing I worry about with my gaming habits is waking people up when I earn a Platinum Trophy. 226 on this ID (131 on my ID I lost to a bank card hack years ago) and it never gets old!

Well it largely depends. Some of them have been calm reactions (certainly the "trash binges") but I've had some big reactions.

When I broke my WWE Platinum drought with the PS4 version of WWE 2K22, I'm not ashamed to admit I shouted "Acknowledge Me Damn It!" against my own better judgment. (I left my sister confused with that one.) My 5 "1st in the World" Moments definitely drew a lot out of me.  Some more recent "big reactions" include Final Fantasy 1 (first Final Fantasy Platinum) and The Oregon Trail (having done the text-only 1971 version in school in the 80s very badly but redeeming myself in this form).

Every reaction is different as every Platinum is different.

Trigger Warning : Cancer 

 

Too many people in my life have gotten cancer . I fucking hate it . And my thoughts go towards my Aunt . 
 

We were told she has about a year to live. I don’t know if that will change or not , just that is what I know . This isn’t new news but with someone else in my life also getting breast cancer (which my aunt has )…fuck

I was just laid off from my employer on Monday with no previous writes up, disciplinary refferals, nothing..i and a few others were apart of some company budget cuts.
i live in Connecticut, an at will state, meaning anyone at any given time can be fired for no reason, its just a matter of did you have write ups and whatnot leading up to it..No, ok you are eligible for unemployment then

(this just happened to ironically happen on the day of my older brothers birthday)

so my father called my brother to wish him a happy birthday and that same day im calling my father to say, Hi, I just got Fired!  So Im Back to being a free agent for now

I'm sorry you got laid off. I'm in the middle of something similar. The company is doing major budget cuts across the board and the warehouses and ISPs (Inventory Specialists) are first on the chopping block. There's only three of us to start with, but being the most senior and high ranking one, I'm told that the others will first get their hours cut to part time (which means they will lose their benefits). This will drive them to looking for other work as well, and I hate to say it but one I wouldn't mind losing. He's a good dude but can't handle the computer side of our job. (He's nearly 60 and not computer literate). The other tho, he IS vital to the operation. He knows how to do everything, will do it without having to be asked but they're both gonna get driven out. I was even told that eventually they want to get down to one ISP (been assured its me). Which I'm glad my job isn't in jeapordy but man I don't wanna bear the entire burden of the warehouse on my own. Could I do it? Sure, but do I want to? Hell no. Also knowing this but not being allowed to say anything to my guys is killing me.

Thanks, it sucks man..honestly.  Being a hard but efficient worker with no issues ever, actually moving up in the company to just be let go at random, its a sinking feeling i dont want anyone to have to go through, especially when it involves a work-horse type employee who always gets the job done no matter what, i was literally just blindsided by it, i wish you goodluck sir and may i suggest you keep your work resume up to date at all times
