Recently I had an old manager / roommate overdose and died yesterday. He was a manager at a pretty well established mom and pop BBQ chain here in town, always assumed he was just a regular stoner, but apparently he needed relief beyond what was considered a reasonable risk. I stepped away from all that stuff, personally it’s been hard especially when your someone like me who’s more emotionally charged, I end up shooting from the hip instead of sitting on my own words.

I just feel like saying it, but I know it’s hard with drugs and shit, it’s always around, drinking is also such a major thing, I’ve gone so many years with that crap in my life and it’s never done me any good. I think we can all agree, a lot of gamers in our scene would perform better if they stayed away from that crap.

Long run mental health issues on top of everything with substance abuse is just not worth it.
Hopefully you guys get what I’m saying and maybe a couple gamers, even half a handful will get what I mean.
When a game runs this long you’re gunna run into some death, but honestly. I’d rather joke about being an old man fraggin 17 year olds and passing on naturally.

Do I really need to dig into the vagueness of what “my safety” details and explain why you come across like a dick for assuming what I think your insinuating? I have no thoughts of hurting myself, but clearly you have some issue with sensitive topics posted with sincerity in a section of the forum dedicated to discussing anything.

hey brock, love you brother. Thank you for the message. I know from my own life how destructive addiction can be, I'm sorry you had to get so up close and personal. I hope you're holding up well.

Please don't get bogged down in a stupid little forum argument. This is an important message, don't let this kinda like petty shit talking and miscommunication distract from it. I'm sure Seinfeld didn't mean anything mean, they just weren't very diplomatic in trying to communicate genuine concern for you. Even you've gotta admit you have a concerning history on this website.

Anyway man, thanks again for the message. It really means a lot to me personally. And I know we haven't really talked before, but if you wanna, my dms are open. God bless, and stay safe

I’d rather punch a whole in a door over homophobic comments, then another person, or if need be, hurt myself. I have anger issues and I was never well spoken when I drank, giving up that shit for the sake of having a proper platform to express myself and not have to look over my shoulder because I don’t remember posting something, is some serious grace for me.

I only posted this because I know within our own pockets of friends in this scene, we have delt with this shit. It’s heavy, it doesn’t sit well with me knowing that someone I lived with and was friends with is gone because of substance abuse. I can recall others who I’ve met and played with in game that have gone down that path, it’s not 100 percent avoidable, we can’t prevent everything, but if me speaking up and sharing my own experience helps even a single person, thats better then nothing.
