Why did Mustawd self-eject?

[Roguey]

Yeah, he flipped. Now he hangs out on the Codex Discord channel, so he's easily available for anyone who actually has something to say to him.

Seems pretty odd that quite a few broke-brains leave the Codex forever only to hang out exclusively in this Discord thing. The Codex experience minus the actual site.

I've travelled quite extensively meeting little computer people, I've slept in houses of little computer people who I have met for the first time that very day. There's little computer people who's wives and kids I met, who I could recognize by voice, I've had beers with. Seeing a pattern here? Even when being friendly with little computer people, the real relationships are happening outside of the firewall. If you're relying on little computer people as your primary support network, you're fucked.

Clarification appreciated. It starting to uncomfortably sound like you know what you're talking about

Yeah, I've had plenty of e-friends and still do, some of them for nearly two decades. But you see enough people self-eject over the years, you realize how fragile those sort of e-friendships really are. People press a button and disappear without a word, others throw tantrums over weirdest shit. Socializing online is fine but the real lasting relationships are to be found outside.

People disappearing is how most of my real friendships ended. Though it's preferable to the ones that involve them being angry with me forever.

Mustawd messaged me on Steam after his Apocalypse Now outburst, around the time he was self-ejected. Said he was going through some real life issues or something.

It's like the shoutbox, but good and not clogged with euros talking about beer for hours.

From the members' picture gallery, probably.

I don't know if there is much of a difference to be honest. I have drifted away from many real life friends, it's actually very similar to someone just pressing a button. One day you don't talk and all of sudden it has gone 5 years. Also many friends I made during for an example college felt like those friendships was going to last forever but just kinda fizzled out after college, like some things only fits with certain things. I have people I have been talking to for years and years on the Internet, and they have always been there even if these people have changed job, doing college, moved and so on.

This, so much this. Some people are just unable to build lasting social contacts with anyone. Internet friends escape this curse because they are connected to you through shared interests, like CRPGs here. However, there is something about real life friendship that is irreplaceable with online interactions. Too bad real life friends always drift away, and there is fucking nothing you can do.

If you're reading this, cut on your drinking, Mustard. 4 alcohol units an evening, that must become the norm.

waddaya mean people who self-eject forever hang on dis cord?

if dis is a bad suicide joke i don't like it one bit

While I agree there are many cunts abound, Mustawd had and has several people who honestly care about his current state, and that would have encouraging conversations with him on a regular basis. It certainly shouldn't become a serious support network for a person, but saying there is no one to relate to is a little hyperbolic.

If you have to rely on little people from the computer to help you, you're already fucked beyond repair.

Meh, I don't get this whole perception that online friends "aren't real". Hugs are great, but not required for meaningful contact.

only 3D is real.
