Comrade Duck

I'm actually working on the last chapter. I'm happy of what's become of it and I can't wait to close it out so I can start book two.

Got any games that you used to hate on but now enjoy?

When's the last time either of you were seriously injured (broken bone) etc? What's the dumbest accident you've had?

? As far as NCM/YCM history goes, you're right. I actually chose this alias outside of NCM before I came back. And I admit, it feels pretty good. It's not completely duck related, but I like ducks and I'm an anarchist so this was the name I chose.

I missed you Sonic! I've already used up my hearts for the day so you'll get one on your post from me later. Things are going well! Thanks for checking in. Well, I've been taking every possible precaution. I refuse to leave my house except to get medicine or groceries. And when I do, from the time I cross my door to the time I come back home: --I'm wearing gloves --My mouth, nose, head, arms, and legs are covered. --I carry hand sanitizer at all times. --I disinfect whatever I bring home (in terms of groceries, etc.) --I take a shower immediately after I get home. Other than that things are going well. With that aside, I know you had a rough year last year and I'm sorry that I wasn't there to support you. Here's hoping things are improving for you and things continue to get better for you. Cheers bud. Glad to see you again. ?

I started with Moze. The thought of being able to run around in a giant mech suit shaped like a bear and mow people down seemed like a lot of fun. And I was fucking right. I spec'd into a tanky build for the shields and I feel invincible. I haven't actually played in a while. I did a couple of runs to farm a legendary shotgun that I can't remember the name of. I got it and then... idk I kinda lost interest in it. But thinking about it now I could jump into the new DLC and play on my FL4K. Well I don't know if Striker is actually a comrade or not but once I change my avatar and stuff you'll be able to tell us apart LOL.

I actually didn't know you were a part of an engineering firm. You say you're behind the desks and you mentioned contracts. Do you seek out clientele or do you manage contracts and manufacturing? Congrats on the job.

Brooklyn 99 is one of my favorite comedies of the last few years. An incredible cast with a variety of roles and the sassiest Captain (bar none, Holt is King), great individual and arching plot lines-- really, I can't get enough. Anyone else a fan?

What food combination makes you most excited and what food combination makes you gag?

Are you taking signature and avatar requests? If so, I'd like to request a Golduck avatar and tag with the following render:

OMG this is a great memory ?. So, at the time, when I was going through everything, I wanted it all to be forgotten. I wanted it to disappear. I thought that if I had everything hidden it wouldn't hurt so much. But all it did was make things worse and further my depressive state. I like to think I'm okay now. My mental state has changed drastically. I've been getting professional help, medication, and support from the people closest to me and it just feels like my life has taken a complete 180. I actually even managed to sort of patch things up with the friend I fell out with. We're all still mourning our lost friend. But other than that, yes, I'm okay. Thanks for asking. One horse-sized duck. That's good eating and duck is delicious.

It's been a while. Ask me anything. No question is off limits and I'll answer honestly.

An early nineties anime that breaks away from gender roles and is directed by Sailor Moon's Ikuhara. A good place to start. Are you choosing your anime based on year and going in some kind of order or did you have a pre-generated list or what?

I don't remember a lot of 2019. It went by really quickly. But I'll start with the things that led me to today: January: A project that was near and dear to me was going well. My last project. It was keeping me distracted and kept me (multiple times) from taking my own life. This was before I was diagnosed with depression. February: Celebrated my 1 year anniversary with my girlfriend on the 9th. We had to work. Played hookie that weekend and skipped work and took her on a date. I went broke. It was worth it. March: N/A April: Finals. They went well. Ready for the summer. May: Not as ready for summer as I'd hoped. Still depressed but not doing anything about it. Nightmares, breakdowns, self-isolation (little did I know). June-August: W O R K Kept me busy and occupied my mind enough to not be depressed because I was always exhausted. Finally decide to see someone about my depression. Get diagnosed. Get my medicine later in the year. October: This is where things went downhill. I'd lost players to my project and it felt like hope was lost. I abandoned it without a second thought and fucked off. Depression was worsening. Barely making it through school. November: Lose a friend. Another gets kidnapped and killed. My sister is dealing with a stalker. I'm getting desperate. Barely clinging on to life. Scared for my family and my girlfriend. Attempt to take my own life again. Saved by my better half. Finally get my meds. December: Barely pass my classes. Starting to get my head straight. Decent birthday. Decent Christmas. Had a great New Year. Got drunk, didn't do anything embarrassing. Finally have my driver's license. Feeling better. The year was hard for me. Depression turned little things into big things, caused me to lose friends, abandon projects, and give up on a lot of shit. I was desperately trying to get my shit together toward the end of the year. Decided to stay out of school this spring (2020) and thank goodness I did. But the timing was lucky. Despite this virus going around, things are better for me personally. I've got a dream job (on hold) once this virus shit settles, I'll be making great money with opportunity for advancement, and I'm finally writing for myself again. I'm looking forward to the rest of the year.

Most if not all of you should be quarantined by now and keeping your asses at home. So, besides video games, what are you doing to prevent yourself from going stir crazy?

Psychology and the human mental state. While studying I took a course in it with a professor who made me love the field. I won't pursue it as a career but I find it very interesting. For example: did you know that fear and excitement are the same thing?

The ability to make a profile private except to staff. Edit: silly me I found the option.

I don't remember you. Welcome back anyway.

Bump.

What would you say has been the most defining moment of your life so far?

Happy birthday Nyx. Haven't spoken with you in a while. How have you been?
