Wow what a story!!!  What's your back ground maybe I can look into a job.  I know some Vendors out there.  You sure picked an expensive state to live in.

Work would be cool, lemme know...

And update, I'm sans homelessness 

Got into a studio, thank you housing commission. Now it's time to obey again, eventually.

[Off-Topic / Re: I'm alive...]

Guess what....

I'm still alive, sorry 

I'm still at the shelter but the end is nigh, I've been approved for housing and I finished my course and internship (valedictorian no less) So now the job hunt is underway.
 
I miss playing on real hardware, but this trusty cheap ass lil Chromebook has kept me going.

Hope all is well with everyone and will have to check in on all and any drama I may have missed.

Avast, one and done...

[Off-Topic / Re: I'm alive...]

Alright, I went old school with 2 Christmas cards to conceal cash. Mailed it off today, hope it makes it, heh... I should've asked though if he could handle a personal check or money order to avoid risk, but figured cash will be easiest for him at this time.

For anybody else, there is the more "high tech" way with a gift card but the extra charges to load it are unappealing, $4 to $7 to send about as much as I did plus tax. I forgot about Credit gift cards at first, but saw them at Dollar Tree, Walgreens and Walmart days later.

Anyway, BigusSchmuck donated about as much to me years back, so it's a PCEFX pay-it-forward and all that! ;)

It should be fine, people get amazon and shit delivered to the shelter which boggles my mind, people homeless with big ass Bluetooth speakers and iPhone's, I guess I'm doing it wrong lol

Only nicety I really want it a Bluetooth controller for my phone, obey on a touch screen is depressing.

I got some nice kicks from my next door bunkmate, so that helped as my left legs been a crabby bitch lately.

I post from the library, so mind if they are fewish and farish inbetween

Cheers.

Finally watched Inglorius Basterds, was quite awesome...

[Off-Topic / Re: I'm alive...]

I imagine you are getting SSDI. In which case I think you need to have a bank account for he money to be deposited into.

SSDI is an ongoing process, and frankly a giant pain in the ass, almost got cash relive while that arrives. As for substances, never really been my thing, I don't drink and any weed i smoke is minimal and I never buy it, always when offered as it helps with hands. I can get mail here if that's a thing. Also you can see it actually goes to the shelter.

The gofundne is long closed, so snail mail is the best bet. If anyone wants to toss me a on and I'll have the address at the ready. I don't expect anything but not going to turn help away at this point either.

I'm hanging in, just a bunch of hurry up and wait, thankfully I haven't had to pay any medical cause I'd be right fucked, lol.

[Off-Topic / Re: I'm alive...]

@Dicer glad to hear you're conscious. A lot of folks here were worried.

If you're Paypal is locked, why not post the Amazon list here?

Sorry about the ID, I had the same trouble when I moved to the Republic. All I can say is once you establish residency, employers look at you a lot differently. SD is a good place to start to get on your feet.

And the spider bite is icing on the cake... that really sucks I've been bitten by a brown recluse before and its not any fun.

Anyway glad you're on the mend, and if I can help out with what little I can spare, I will. Sounds like you're on the right track to getting back on your feet. 

Good luck to you.

caw

I don't have a list but the locker is Amazon Locker - Rafi
Feel free to shower me with random crap...lol

This city def has a large homeless population but they also have way better services to deal with it, plus it's not freezing my nuggets off...

As long as no more critters bite me I should be ok, thank you all for keeping me in them thoughts 

[Off-Topic / Re: I'm alive...]

Good to hear you're alive and kicking. You still rocking that TG16 shirt you win in the raffle I had under my old name of Mitsuman?

Yep I brought that with, and it's a little baggy now, but people dig it...

[Off-Topic / Re: I'm alive...]

Hey Dicer... Wow...

Well, I was hoping for more positive/upbeat threads/posts to improve the mood around here, not exactly what I had in mind but yeah, that's real life for some... :/

I'm hitting a funeral tomorrow for an old neighbor coincidentally, how about that ? Could be worse off... ;) Had 4 neighbors die off in recent years, 2 were close friends, one a bowling bud (liked to gamble in his bowling league).

Anyway, hope your situation improves of course... I'd be willing to donate some change if you got a working PayPal, maybe others too if it helps, let us know.

I owe paypal some cashola so that's a dead end.

I do have an Amazon locker nearby and I love surprises, lol.

I also forgot I'm gettin skinny, slowly.

Down to under 240 almost close to my goal, just more walking and getting sick (not so much the last part) lol

[Off-Topic / I'm alive...]

Hey Folks.

I'm here just not all there.

Lets see what good Ole Dicer has been up to.


I got kicked outta my Aunts due to her mental insanity, and well, Mass get's cold I didn't even get to mail out a game and felt like shit, so I kinda faded off the interwebz while this was going on.
I managed to get just enough to make a move I now am in San Diego...always wanted to come to Cali, and I finally made it with .39 to spare when I bought the ticket., woo-hoo
I had some pay-pal credit and used that to stay at a hostel for a little bit, figured I'd grab a job and all would be well...not so easy the job market out here SUCKS, esp with the gap in my employment.
I made the bad choice of "hey I'm having fun out here, my depression must be gone" and stopped my meds, once the party ended (Hostel and foreign girls was a GOOD thing) the depression hit like a brick...
I almost ended it, but I turned myself into a hospital spent a week in a psuych ward (fun) then got sent to a "crisis house" basically a place to reset and chill for a bit, making sure you are getting better.
Form there I was refered to a shelter (most people gotta wait many weeks) and I've been there since, trying to get assistance and still trying to get some sort of work, really need a state ID, sent off for my birth cert but I never got it, so I need to do that again. Been on meds for my Blood clot they found before I moved (Lovenox is not fun) that shit pretty much sorted out.

Now the best most funnest part:

I was sleeping one night, and a wonderfully polite Brown Recluse decided to give me a nibble...didn't even feel it. Woke up had a little spot on my leg, that grew into a large pink/red spot, went to get it looked at. they gave m antibiotics and sent me back, over that night it went from pink/red to Blue/Black and I couldn't walk on it. Needless to say went back and spent a week in the hospital because the bite caused sepsis of the blood.
That was super duper fun, but I get to keep the leg and the area is mostly healed, luckily it didn't spilt open or anything uber gross.

So, I am alive my OBEY is packed away across the country, and soon as I get a stable place I'll have it shipped over...hopefully (Mental case family holding all my stuff)

I'm broke AF. but I get 3 hots and a decent bunk, so it could totally be worse.

I have a GF out here, that is mostly good, so that helps as well.


So, now you are basically caught up. Sorry I poofed but life wasn't worth talking about.

I'll be around

Cheers.

[Off-Topic / Re: As of this week I'll be a homeless person, wheeee]

So I spent a week in a psych ward, and my first night out and someone knicked my tablet when I was asleep. Fucking fantastic, lol

I'm ok just frazzled and tired and annoyed.

[Off-Topic / Re: As of this week I'll be a homeless person, wheeee]

I'm out now at a hotel tonight, couldn't deal with a shelter tonight... Got better ones to call tomorrow... On the bright side I got a visitor from the resetera forums, those folks have been super nice and he brought me goodies... Hopefully tomorrow pans out.

On blood thinners for a while so no knife fights for a while, damn it all.

[Off-Topic / Re: As of this week I'll be a homeless person, wheeee]

Been sitting in hospital turn out a I had a blood clot in my lung, glad I came in...because I need injections I will hopefully end up someplace more safe than my current shelter.

[Off-Topic / Re: As of this week I'll be a homeless person, wheeee]

So I'm in the hospital... Blood clot in the lung.

Last call before it get's stowed away with all my other OBEY...

[Localizations, Games, Apps, Docs / Re: Binary Star, a musicdisk for the PCE with SCC (MSX) tunes!]

sweet.

It's be cool if we could fiddledick with the panning and mix the tunes more than they ever dreamed they could back then.

Fiddledick is a term I'm gonna shoehorn into as much conversation as I can...

[Off-Topic / Re: As of this week I'll be a homeless person, wheeee]

Well that sucks the left one. 

Are you leaving your stuff there? Do you have stuff? Turbo stuff?  Just wow, I am sorry to say it but we are going to have to make a visit to see your aunt. Necro said he will take one for the team and slip her the kieth courage pickle in hopes to distract her or maybe change her mind.

All out of line joking aside I hope you have other family or friends close by you can stay with, Sorry to hear man. Hugs and will check out your go fund me.

I've got stuff I can keep here for the short term, no other family...hopefully this week stays tepid.

[Off-Topic / Re: What are you currently listening to?]

K is for...

[Off-Topic / Re: As of this week I'll be a homeless person, wheeee]

Why are you being homelessed?  That's dumb.

Care to share any details, like whose house to throw bricks through the windows of for being lame family members?

Can we blame Tobias for this somehow?

Long story short, I've been living with my aunt since Jan...
She has "issues" one being multiple personality disorder, one said personality doesn't care for me me...since I remind her of my Father, who when they were young got all the favorable treatment.

She needs the "space" to store more shit that never get's looked at but "might be needed someday"

So there it is..no bricks please, and sure let's blame Tobias as her secret unknown personality.

[Off-Topic / Re: As of this week I'll be a homeless person, wheeee]

Setup a GoFundMe thing as suggested by someone, can't hurt I suppose...no idea how all that works.

What city are you in?

Springfield, Ma...I've already got shelter options to check out Monday.

Ok, thank goodness you're in a place with stuff. Homelessness sucks but it sucks a lot more in flyover country.

I almost wish I was someplace warmer I really wouldn't care so much then...

[Localizations, Games, Apps, Docs / Re: Nantettatte Engine: A PC Engine Birthday present for you and yours.]

Astrosmash you say....

Thanks guys I needed a pick me up, and even though I can't play it on real hardware ATM, I'll still enjoy the hell out of it...

Edit: This is the only time I've enjoyed the PCE Shuttle.

[Off-Topic / Re: As of this week I'll be a homeless person, wheeee]

I wish I could assist but I don't think I can lend any useful information to the situation. I was wondering why I had not seen you around the chat for awhile, I hope you bounce back quickly. Wish you nothing but the best my friend!

I've been around just stressed, trying to hold it together...and so far it's working

[Off-Topic / Re: As of this week I'll be a homeless person, wheeee]

Are you a Veteran?  If so I could point you to some other resources.

Good luck on that SSDI claim.

I have an advocate now says they can get it done in 120 days, so here is hoping.

I tried to go it alone before and really got nowhere, but then again I lived in NH and was clueless, and I guess the process up there is a lot more convoluted.

Maybe I can get my parks screening done sooner, and that will help my case.

[Off-Topic / Re: As of this week I'll be a homeless person, wheeee]

Yep I have places to check out Monday, it's just a real shit situation that I wasn't expecting.

[Off-Topic / As of this week I'll be a homeless person, wheeee]

Due to some unforeseen family bullshittery and nonsense I will be without housing this week...

Anyone have some good tips as far as resources go, I'm zero income right now (awaiting cash assistance while SSDI takes it sweet ass time) and I'll be checking out a few local shelters Monday.

Any thought or foresight would be appreciated...

Cheers.

As of right now, we are 100 hours away from the curtain call. This weekend will be pretty much nothing but work on the final aspects of the game; doing bugfixes, tweaking level designs, tying up loose ends, doing spit n polish here n there.

Then you can get back to having a life, ya know cause life is life...

There were many that called this out for ages, and it all got swept under the rug or ignored, hell I got banned there twice.

I'm glad it's finally falling apart, like it was said before great place for gaming news, but the OT that was a fuckin train wreck of epic proportions.

[Off-Topic / NeoGAF explodes...]

So NeoGAF, the great hive-mind of "guilty till innocent" has exploded...why? Cause the grand leader of the pack is an ass grabbin fuckwit, lol

All the mods jumped ship, place is far from stable at the moment, and it's trending on the twits...

It's a fun dumpster fire to stare at.

Dude, that's an awesome yearbook portrait.



I graduated in 1993 and hairstyles were generally horrendous.

Ha!

Thanks man, I was generally attractive once upon a time...lol

[Off-Topic / Re: What do you depise AT THIS MOMENT, literally....]

...losing visitation rights to my son because of my "mental health" which I have been working on for months now

 

Terribly sad how easy it is.  I bet they still get those checks though.

Her new man is adopting him, so the checks go away.

Not the whole point of it, but at the end of that day I just want my kid safe and happy.

Still sucks :/
