I'll start:
That feel when the PS4 with GTA V on it is in the living room but you only leave your room when all your housemates are gone so you can't do any real gaming with it.

That feel when you jam the pizza box in your backpack so no one will notice you carrying home a pizza on the bus.

Does anyone know how I can anonymously set up a PayPal/online donation thing? I want to set up a fund that people can donate to so I can buy Subway more often

My nakama in Inaba helped me overcome my Social Anxiety. Best of luck to any Imps suffering from it.

i don't suffer from it i enjoy every minute of it. technology allows us to live remotely; every household necessity is delivered to my door and the driver knows not to stick around for when i open it for the brief moment necessary to haul my goods one. i shudder to think how people before this information age of ours managed to survive. i stand at the apex of human development. i order toilet paper via amazon.com

Making lemonade from the hosed up lemons this cruel life deals us is the sign of a true gamer. Fight on.

If you for real have bad anxiety, get Crypt of the Necrodancer or Nuclear Throne because they own for anxiety

I hate playing competitive games/modes because it fires up my anxiety and reminds me of all the jobs I lost because of it. Single player 4 lyfe.
