  • And as you sit there deep in thought you feel something tickle your nethers, you think little of it at first but as soon as you feel it again you shift your position and look down. At the same moment your mind comprehends that it’s the hand of an otter, that very hand grabs ahold of your dangling valuables and pulls. You are never seen again.

    I have a 12-year-old stepbrother whose friends like me too so they often tag along when we hang out. I’ve had them say “That’s the guy/thing from Fortnite!” (Or other random games) so many times. I’ve had to explain several times that everything in that game is from other popular games, movies etc. (As far as I know, never played it myself).

    It’s fine when it’s some random old meme or viral thing that I wouldn’t expect them to know, I just see that as a chance to show them what it comes from. They’ve become fans of stuff like the peanut butter jelly time song with the dancing banana, crazy frog, Tay Zonday (chocolate rain guy) and more.

    But way too many times they’ve said that for things I know that they know what the original characters are from, it’s just that they mainly know those characters from fortnite or whatever so that’s what they think of. I tease them for it, in a playful way of course, but it does get kinda irritating.



  • Eh, I’ve found highs just as good in many other games since then. Currently getting them in Warframe, started playing a couple of months ago and having an absolute blast. You’ll never find the exact same “high” from something in anything else, let those moments be and welcome new ones. You have that memory, it’ll never go away and you’ll always be able to get some of that feeling from the memory itself.
    It’s the same with love, some people spend their whole lives trying to find a specific kind they once had, and by doing so they push away all the new kinds that are able to become just as strong and important.
