Topic: Goodbye/Vacation Thread

@FullbringIchigo Miss this but see you later and hope you come back soon.

@Genrou That's a real shame - I tend to not engage on article comments any more because of the influx of attitudes etc. However I think the core community is great and even if tempers flare, tends to be respectful. Hope you try again.

@Genrou The ignore button works perfectly. The thread won't disappear, but the comments of the person you have chosen to ignore will. Give it a try!

@FullbringIchigo Take it easy, hope work isn't too rough. Unless you don't actually see this comment until you return, in which case - hello!

@Genrou Just had a look at the link. That's the last time I buy one of their cars

@Genrou For what it's worth, that thread has now been locked by the mods. It'll be a shame to see you go, but wish you all the best. Feel free to come back again if/when you want to.

@Genrou The best thing to do with those kind of threads and posts is report them. This then brings it to the attention of the people moderating the site, who can then decide on the best course of action.

Article comments I'll have a quick scan through sometimes but generally I tend to ignore them on certain subjects like The Last of Us 2, censorship, backwards compatibility etc.

Anyway it is always sad when someone decides to leave the forum as we are generally a good bunch. It is like a digital fam at times. Of course we all have our bad moments, such is life.

I'm going to take a break from the forums for a bit.

Farewell for now, my lovelies!

@Ralizah
See you soon, take it easy and stay safe!

@Ralizah Hope to see you back spreading Ultimate Despair sometime soon 😉

@Ralizah Farewell and take care. Have as much or as little of a break as you need from here.

I don't blame you. These last few days I kept thinking I'd clicked on a political forum website by accident.

@Ralizah Take it easy and take care. The review thread will be a bit lighter....

@Ralizah take it easy, don't be a stranger and come back soon!

@Arugula There are many things more satisfying than perfectly folded origami, sir. Such as perfectly crisped bacon.

@Ralizah

Take care and be safe @Ralizah. See you back soon.

@Ralizah Come back soon! Love your reviews

I only just saw this today @Ralizah! Stay safe and take all the time you need away from the forums, We'll be here waiting for you!

@Ralizah Where do you think you're going? Get back here! (only joking, take it easy)

@Ralizah When you get back I expect a 10,000-word essay on The Witcher 3.

I think I need to take a break from the comments, forums and social media in general. The truth is (as someone who suffers with anxiety and mental health) the past few days have been an almighty struggle trying to get through The Last of Us Part 2. I underestimated just how much the first game and the characters of Joel & Ellie meant to me and the sequel has really shook me and it's so hard to reach out to loved ones because honestly how do you tell someone that a video game has left me an emotional wreck, my mother right now feels so confused and unable to help with me, which makes me feel worse. What also hasn't helped is seeing so many talk about. The emotions just keep flooding back.
So the only thing I can do is take a break till I'm ready to talk with people again. I hope you all understand. Kind regards.
