It’s brutal, honestly. I mean some stuff I gave away or donated when I was younger, but having something I had intentionally kept safe like that stolen really hurt (it was stolen in a move when it was mistakenly put in a storage unit that was broken into within a week).

And it’s not something that I can ever actually replace because I’d only ever really care about the cards I collected with my grandpa.

Realizations like that are hard. I hope you can still find joy in the memories and sharing those experiences with others. It’s a tough journey (and I’m still pretty sore about my loss), but I’m hoping you can still enjoy your memories through emulation if it doesn’t still feel too sour/sore.

Edit: Also, the cost of replacing vintage anything from the 90s is so remarkably prohibitive lol (my collection was realistically worth $6-10k depending on how long someone would want to spend really finding buyers). It really made me feel negatively about the secondhand industries surrounding stuff like this if people are willing to just straight up steal and sell stolen childhood memories.

Absolutely lol I’m so sick of AI psychosis. Cheers, friend!

I’m coming back to this to say that I cannot stop narrating things in his voice, and at this point, I’m not sure I’d want to.

Did the same just now. I liked your message but wanted to change the last line. Also posting what I put in the reason for canceling:

Reason: Bugs Or Quality Issue

Explanation: Poor business practices, antithetical to the stated goals of this company and why I subscribed in the first place. Sad to see further enshitification here from greedy psychotic loser corporate idiots.

Comment: I, like many others will not pay for LLM slop. I am happy to pay PEOPLE for (what was) a good service. I will not pay a fucking computer for sloppy and decoherent code just because “Andy” is a lazy asshole that wants more money without having to pay his people for their hard work and experience. If he decides to fuck off with his AI girlfriend and go live in a data center (preferably one within striking distance of Ukraine), I’ll consider returning as a paying customer. This issue was brought up repeatedly in the forums only to be hidden and deleted, which proves to me that your CEO doesn’t care about his employees or customers or even having a good product, only about money. That is the mark of a true loser and one who will also be losing my subscription.

Within the last year, I had my vintage Pokemon card collection stolen without any leads. I completed that with my grandpa shortly before he died when I was quite young. It was my last physical connection to that time.

This meme hits pretty hard, unironically.
