For those who bother to read what I say...
I will never have neither the youth, money, or benefits of being like any of you. Because everything tied to both my past and present dictate that to be the truth. Which is fine since I have found that the benefit of having Asperger's (Autism in North America) helps make your collections an interesting topic to me.
Plus... I ended up joining NA because I made the mistake in 2011 where I started to focus on the idea of collecting Transformers instead of video games. My experience with the Transformers fandom was mostly toxic, but I will just say that the second forum I had attended was the very definition of that word.
And... I ended up joining VGS because NA helped solidify my love of VGA graded NES titles. But I also quit two times because the way others started to act was, by far, different than how things were in NA. With nobody caring that their actions and behavior can have negative impacts on those they do not know.
So why am I here? And why I am writing this? It goes back to my disability and the fact it keeps me from having a healthy social life. So despite the fact that I can compare members, evets, etc. to every existing forum I had attended... I need some type of social interaction that is not some type of AI (as proven to me in Japan).
Thus why I am saying this after many of you made claims about me that did harm me. With hopes that by saying this both you and those you mention this to will realize that as bad as things can be for me... A lot of the indirect topics and comments tied to you guys have greatly helped me in the end.
Which does not mean I expect 2024 to be better for me. Or you guys to magically become my friends. But rather me saying thank you for not being those who have helped make my life be this complicated/bad.

Again, thanks @Link.
I will consider that at a later date. But as of right now, the responses I received (via PM) has me wonder why nobody could ask me to edit or delete my traditional "I'm out" response. With the second one I had just responded to sounding too much like an excuse to do that. All because of a tradition that dates back to NA.
I'll turn everything I was actually saying into an update at a later time. And expect a PM at a later date. Double if X'mas is coming close, and my love of being a "Surprise Santa" pops up.

Thanks, @Link. And honestly? I want to be both optimistic and believe the same thing as well. Just because I always want to give people the reason of a doubt. As well as give them the opportunity to clear things up. Something I offer because I was once told that the fastest way to deescalate a situation is to first understand the person who had started it.
But as of right now? You are one of my favorites here. So we can discuss this via PM. But until then, it just feels like a repeat of every reason why I felt like me leaving is for the best.

TO THOSE READING THIS,
I am not just retiring from collecting video games, but also the goals I have established in 2011.
These goals have cost me thousands of dollars, atop of years of trying to turn it into a reality. Not because I "failed to understand" anybody. In reality, I like knowing who people are. But rather because I have given up on being understood. Which is why my business goals and engagement ended up being failures.
In the end I thank a lot of you guys for making me feel welcomed here. But realistically? The issue here is that I am in my 40s, not living my best life, and always worried that anything I say will offend one of you guys. Which is why I will return to answer any PMs, but not much else.
Because until I have my business started, have a hobby I feel comfortable doing, and live in a portion of Japan (long story) that gives me the distractions I need... The real me will never appear. Which in one that has me turn my nickname (origin is a long story) into something fun.
Until then... SEE YOU SPACE COWBOYS...

P.S. I am selling ALL of my games. Including my Switch titles.

Belated thanks, @Ferris Bueller.
I wanted to respond sooner, but this has been the hardest transition for me in the past 10 years. Plus March 29, 2022 was the 6th anniversary of the day I legally changed my name. Which is something I am still working on.
With hopes that returning to JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (attempt #3) being the key to me having a sane(-ish) hobby. (Among other things I wanted since mid-December, 2011.)
Hopefully I'll get bored and check up on you guys. But until then I need to sell my games, get what I want (via JJBA), and hope that Enrico Pucci is not the reason for all of my issues. All while I try to figure out a new business start-up campaign that even you, and others, here might like to contribute to.
So be good, be safe, and may the high scores be with you.
