*hugs back* thanks, though I already have decided any further attempts to "help" in their lousy matter are getting ignored because it'll be the final proof they don't listen, Ironic that they used to have a slightly better customer service, then they went to zen desk which i have NEVER heard good things about. Never was as good as the Big fish one(which has unfortunatly gotten pretty bad as well, and doens't help my lack of desire when it comes to my computers to seek out tech help from someone that isn't a close friend) but it used to be decent enough that you knew that they at least could read a couple sentences and understand them.

only to a point, though a lot of steam people are irking me off attacking the hidden object games just because they feel steam should be for the hardcore crowd only. I've seen far too many GOOD hidden object games attacked on the steam community forums just because they were on the front page for a day, when those same people could just hit the next ten games link at the bottom to see more games.

I forget who the person was but they literally copied the League of Legends ToS for their game, and you could tell because it actually said the game's name in it, and not the name of the game it was supposed to be for.

Ah, yeah that I can agree on, I know one dev has said though that they will use a standard Eula for their game, but they aren't as strict about some of it as others are. But that dev sounds like they were not even attempting to at least edit it to be accurate.

That said, I am glad though more casual games are hitting steam myself because the more that do, the less I have to use that one portal I'm starting to really hate( I still like BFG though, just not this other one but it never was one I majorly was a fan of)

Apparently now she's saying that "they" think it would be awkward if my mom came and just read a book off to the side (I didn't suggest that at all, just that my mom was coming too). If my mom has geeky interests like everyone else, though, she's welcome. I thought the whole point of meetups was to not be too exclusive, but she's taking it and making it into something different to me... After basically telling me my mom can't come to greatly ease my fears, she tells me that there are plenty of people with anxiety disorders like me in the group, she herself suffers from general anxiety, so no one will judge me for anything like that. Well guess what, I'll be a mute practically the whole time and I'll probably have a panic attack if I can't go with my mom! On top of social anxiety I'm also shy, so I have trouble coming up with things to say besides "I want to go home." in situations like these. I'm feeling like it's not worth all the agony anymore, maybe I really should just stay at home and keep living like a freaking hermit. I was very choosy with which meetup I joined, but even this one isn't working that well so far.

I wish I could talk to my mom right now, but she's feeling crappy physically because our doctor changed her blood sugar-controlling medicine that doesn't need to be changed according to my mom.

Ok yeah, no, regardless if she has general anxiety or not, they are no where near the same thing, and not all anxiety disorders are the same, social anxiety is nothing near the same type she has(My mom has to take an anxiety med so I do know about the differences) what may set off one person may not another, grouping them together like that is like saying all people that have high blood pressure have a pacemaker.

So yeah I can't blame you for skipping with that meetup, I'm don't suffer from social anxiety, but I do know shy because i'm shy too. and I was nervous like heck when I had to go to my jury pool on the 1st of april. litterally tried to sit as far away from people as possible and still wound up having people crowd around me which was not something I enjoyed.

Regarding your mom's blood sugar meds, I hate it when they do that, My mom's had hers changed multiple times in the past 2 years, yes some of it she needed because her previous method was no longer working for her, but some of it is just not much better. I hope though that it improves for her soon again, I know my mom has screamed so many times when her blood sugar will be going stable and then something throws it clear out of wack and the doctor changes the doses again. (she takes insulin directly and has had to change insulin types in the past 2-3 years)

I'd totally hang with you guys, I seriously have no one locally I am comfortable going out with, I'm forced to get rides with the handyman, but i hate having to go anywhere with him. sucks living in the western part of iowa and not being close to anyone I can hang with(den's about an hour and a half away, but with her having recently lost her job it'd not be easily doable to hang out right now)
