Hello fellow Ghosts,how are you?I just woke up and am already feeling pretty bad about myself, which is quite unusual, normally it takes my mind a few hours to become self-aware.I hope you're doing better than me.Its Christmas!I'm going to spend Christmas at home with the family, though its mostly just a desperate attempt to feel alive.What are your plans on Christmas, fellow ghost?Games!I've started to get really interested in rogue likes.There's just something so nice about a game that can be played for seemingly infinitely long without getting boring.The main game I've been playing is Tales of Maj'Eyal (https://te4.org/), I've also looked at Caves of Qud (https://www.cavesofqud.com/) though I think that CoQ (xD) is quite a bit more complicated and chaotic than ToME, so I'll pass on it for now.What games have you been interested in/played lately, fellow ghost?FAQ:What is a Ghost?A Ghost is a person who has mentally resigned themselves from society and feels an everlasting weight on their soul, making it nearly impossible to hold on to the world of the living.What?A Ghost is basically someone who is depressed and lonely.
>>83463627>ITT i leave a prayer for the ghosts>my lord, if you're out there, do hear me out>grant these people the strength of mind needed to go through this hellish life>grant them the light and warmth of the sun, make it reach deep into their hearts so the flowers may bloom in them>drive them together so they may find relatable company and soothe each other's loneliness>and last but not least, give them some happenstance fortune, so they may find their answers and spot opportunities to better themselves however they see fit>grant them strength of mind, sunlight, companionship, and good fortune, my lord>amen.
>>83463627lovely thread>I hope you're doing better than mei'd say im probably doing just as bad but hopefully we'll both feel better soon>Its Christmasstill a few days left though... do you like hanging around your family? for me it's a bother most of the time but i do my best to seem cheery and happy around them. ill be spending christmas with them aswell>rogue likesi also like them! never heard of the ones you posted, but they do look interesting. have you ever played noita>What games have you been interested inlately i just play warhammer 40k stuff. rogue trader, space marine 2, darktide... i need to take a break and find something else. i also started playing 100% orange juice and it's pretty fun desu.
>>83463740>lovely threadthank you <3>do you like hanging around your family?no, its a bother for me too, but I sadly don't have much of a choice as I still live at home.>i do my best to seem cheery and happy around themI understand that just too well, I do believe that one day you don't have to try to seem happy, you just are.>have you ever played noitaI haven't, though I've watched a few vids about it recently (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jdV__-o8kIM)I think the concept is very enticing, though I'd put it into the same category as CoQ, a very chaotic and seemingly unfair game, which exploits all of its engine to create a steep learning curve, which on the other hand also means that you can become powerful beyond believe if you know how the engine/game works and how you can exploit it.

>>83463866>don't have much of a choiceyeah, not much we can do. do you wanna move out asap or you think you'd be able to endure them some more? i think i wanna get out but at the same time going to live by myself would be too depressing.>don't have to try to seem happy, you just aredifficult to believe, but i hope you're right anon. to me, it seems like most people are always pretending to be alright, even most normalfags.>very chaotic and seemingly unfair gamefrom my experience i can say that is a very accurate description... >how you can exploit itlmao, that guy obliterating everything with rocks was pretty exhilarating. why do i never get to make such funny builds?? also, where did you find games like te4? that seems such an obscure game i dont even know where i'd start to find it.
>>83463948>i wanna get out but at the same time going to live by myself would be too depressing.I feel the same way. Even though living with my family is really insufferable sometimes, I'd rather have the inconvenience of that than to be completely lonely. So I don't think I'll be moving out anytime soon.>difficult to believe, but i hope you're right anonIf you can even just slightly believe that you're going to get better, you're worlds ahead of me.What do they say? "Where there is Hope, there is a way" I believe in you anon>to me, it seems like most people are always pretending to be alright, even most normalfagsYes, depression has become quite the fashionable thing as of late. Well that is until you can't get out of bed anymore, until you shower once every full moon, until you can't even brush your teeth regularly, then you're just some weirdo who is useless to society. That has at least been my experience with normalfags.Though I do feel empathy with everyone who even feels just slightly like me and I always try to make an effort to make people feel better, though sadly that is getting harder every day now.>also, where did you find games like te4?Funnily enough, I also found out about it through a vid in my recs (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YtcCmtz1j3M), that is where I find out about most obscure games
lazing my life away seems to be my consistent daily routine I must have reached a stage of mental death where I derive little to no joy from anything including what I used to call hobbies. I probably had a pathological reason to have even those rather than pure enjoyment so maybe that's why it doesn't interest me anymore when it feels pointless, can't tell anymore. it occurred to me before that maybe being a ghost and giving people a scare on my nightly patrols it would be a suitable life (or death) purpose to me but I'd probably still slack off
>>83464131>So I don't think I'll be moving out anytime soonhumu. do you have any pets? they're hardly enough to replace a real person but... they can help. my cat is sometimes the only thing keeping me alive.>If you can even just slightly believei fear we're on the same level when it comes to that too then. but thanks! i believe in you too. hope is the last to die anyhow.>then you're just some weirdothe double standards that people have really annoy me. and how oblivious the average person seem to be on how actually debilitating "real" depression is. i also am emphatic towards everyone struggling with things, especially if they're similar to me, then i even get attached sometimes. but like you said, it's starting to be difficult... and impossible when i have to deal with people that think "bedrotting" or some other bs like that believe that they're depressed or whatever.>where I find out about most obscure gamesnormally i find them from sseth videos so yeah. im never able to get myself to play them though even if i kind of want to. do you have a game you always come back to? like one you've been playing for years?>>83464170>derive little to no joy from anythingim in the same boat. what can i say other than i hope someday you'll be able to feel good things again. do your best anon.
i will slam into reality straight from a nightmare more often than not so i don't get hours of reprieve until i'm aware of my situation. being a real ghost sounds much better, detached from this world and observing people's lives. it's all i do anyway, i never got to live my own in any real capacity. i just watch others with envy.
>>83464216>do you have any pets?No and I don't think that I should be taking care of another living being if I can't even take care of myself, though I'd love to get a cat someday, I think they're cute>i believe in you toothanks>he double standards that people have really annoy methis, I could rant for hours about the state of the mental health topic in society.>and how oblivious the average person seem to be on how actually debilitating "real" depression isthe average normalfag has their knowledge about depression from tiktok or instagram, so they don't understand that depression doesn't make you sad, rather it takes away your ability to feel anything, amongst other things.>do you have a game you always come back to? like one you've been playing for years?for me that would be minecraft, terraria and destiny 2, do you have a game that you've been playing for years? or that you've dumped quite a lot of hours into?its always a pleasure watching people play a game that they've dumped 1000+ hours into, or rather, its always a pleasure to watch a master at work. I've sadly never reached that point in any of the aforementioned games, I'm hoping that I'll get there with ToME or CoQ.
i didn't post in this thread but i think that its a good one and i would have posted in here if i felt different right but i still wanna bump it even if its only page 8 because its so good and cute. have a wonderful Christmas time everybody.>>83464419tsmt i feel the same way about things
>>83463627the khajiit is wearing the bands of kwang lao, base ring of freedom, and the boots of grounding xdd>how are youim alright, experiencing the psychic prison of the emptiness and hopelessness that always comes just before bed>christmaughno idea what imma be doing other than the usual, might go to the grocery store igwonder if imma be taken to an event dinner where i will just sit, eat, and practically dissociate the whole time>gamesi have been playing dark souls 2, and a little minecraft and halo, been thinking about kenshi tooi should make progress in a randomized morrowind character i made a bit ago...good nightalso, >>83463654 love ya junas :(
>>83463627/ Diary of the living ghost / I want my words to reach you through this romantic tranceiverIs it so wrong for someone who has already died to walk among the living? anyways lock in new year new year ahhhhhh
>>83463627>A Ghost is a person who has mentally resigned themselves from society and feels an everlasting weight on their soul, making it nearly impossible to hold on to the world of the living.fuck this describes me too well.>What are your plans on Christmas, fellow ghost?visiting family>What games have you been interested in/played lately, fellow ghost?haven't played any in a while, but I've been looking forward to KSA when it's done in a few years
>>83464433>don't think that I should be taking care of another living beingunderstandable i feel the same honestly. i think im doing a good job overall but i kinda feel bad because sometimes i have no energy to even have her around me. i hope you can get a cat someday though. they are worth all the effort>the average normalfagyeah, i know. pretty sad, i dont expect the average person to understand anyway. usually if i have to talk with someone like that and the topic comes up i just nod and smile. it's good that i have anons here that can understand me.>for me that would beall very good games with the exception of destiny 2 (well, i suppose it was good before like 2021) i played them a lot and i still play minecraft occasionally. have you ever played destiny 1? its one of my favourite games. for i think, minecraft aswell, team fortress 2, stronghold crusader... dota 2. i dont have many. i get bored of games pretty quickly.>sadly never reached that pointmaybe not such a bad thing after all... i have a worryingly high amount of hours on both tf2 and dota 2. and a bunch of other games. i do like explaining to new players how stuff in a game works, though im not very good at it.>>83465653i think, the dead will understand more about life than any of the living can, no? and you can't walk if you're a ghost, you can just float around!
