One day, you get a phone call from an old high school buddy of your's, telling you that he can get you a 30% discount on the 'Horizon Forbidden West' game on PS5. You just received a two-weeks pay check for $2,500 from your career as a game developer at Sony Interactive Entertainment. Your buddy is a Sales Supervisor at Best Buy, who has a great relationship with the head employer there.

Horizon Forbidden West

His conversation with you over the phone, involves you confronting him at the store, so he can hook you up with some more of the best games of today, for another 30% discount on each game. You're a very busy person and you don't have time to drive 15 miles to his job; You have a wife and kids to think about. Your friend knows that, but he DEMANDS that you visit his store anyway because he claims that the deal is only valid for 24 hours.

You tell him to override the discount deal because you're a very busy person and you simply do not have time to get it right now. Your friend then LOSES HIS TEMPER, inadvertently slamming the phone on the hook. 5 Mins later, he calls you to apologize for his irrational behavior. Little do you know, he is JEALOUS of your success as a game developer, while he claims he's stuck as a Sales Supervisor at Best Buy.

The problem is that he simply will not let his jealously of your success, die in the past. 5 years ago, you and he applied for a job as a game developer at Sony Interactive Entertainment at the same time. They decided that you're the more qualified person for the job than he is. Ever since then, he's been FURIOUS with you since.

What's there to be jealous of?... He just so happens to be better looking than you, he's 6 foot 4 while you're 5 foot 8, he's physically superior to you, and he's more talented than you are in sports. The thing is, he's jealous of you because you're making more money than he is, you're more mentally stable, and he claims that you intentionally stole his dream career from him.

Now I bet you're thinking, why doesn't he move on and try looking for another job? It's because he has psychological problems and would rather solve his issues with VIOLENCE. He takes medication for his psychological problems, but if he does something out of the ordinary, it'll make you suspect something about him. You and he, made an allegiance back in High School, to never let anything (not even a career), destroy you guys' friendship.

Another problem is that you're unaware that your friend is a SOCIOPATH and would rather ruin your life to get what he wants. How are you unaware of this? It's because you only hung out with him every now and then. The only time you ever here from him nowadays is when he sees an opportunity to ruin your life.

Fast forward, you decide to drive by his job one day to check up on him and see how he's doing. You find him sleeping in a tent outside of Best Buy, asking people for spare change. Why is that? It's because he allowed his temper and psychological problems to get THE BEST of him, and let's just say that things got too far out of hand.

Normally, employers are required to provide reasonable accommodation for potential employees, only if they struggle with mental limitations and physical disabilities, if they are qualified for the job and that said employer is aware of the situation. Unfortunately, he NEVER DID report any signs of mental disabilities on his job application, so now he's screwed out of a job.

You make a huge mistake, being unaware of the situation and taking him under your wing, ALLOWING him to stay with you for a month until he gets back on his feet. He's eating up all your food, living rent free at your place, and increasing all your utility bills!

Lazy Person

You can't afford to feed a 6 foot 4, 260 pound man because you have a wife and 3 kids. A month goes by, and you tell him to 'get the hell out of your house' because he's too much for you to handle and won't look for a job! He takes it the wrong way and decides to seek out REVENGE on you!

YOU crossed the line!

He waits for you to drop the kids off to school, drive your wife to work, then waits for you to go to work. While you're at work, he catches the bus to your job, hot-wires your car, drives it to a parking lot across the street from you, and manages to remove the engine from your car. By the time you get off work, you notice your car is missing.

You panic and call 911. They then tell you that it's across the street from your job. You then call AAA to tow the car to your mechanic, then give you a lift home.

By the time you arrive home, you notice that someone has BROKEN INTO YOUR HOUSE through the window! The house is in a wreck and you call 911 on your house phone, but then you notice that your phone wires have been disconnected. Unfortunately, while you attempt to dial 911 on your cell phone, your reception mysteriously goes bad.

While you're standing there, panicking and trying to figure out what to do... he comes out of the closet, attacks you from behind, and begins to CHOKE you with his left arm, while he prepares to STAB you with a THICK, 15 inch kitchen knife in his right arm (which has BLOOD on it)! Obviously, he's off of his medication. He just got through MURDERING someone by STABBING them to death because they caught him breaking into your place!

Very quickly, you figure out what kind of friend you're dealing with. He outweighs you by 100 pounds and he's 6 inches taller than you! Your cell phone is smashed on the ground.

Btw, you don't have much of a choice, here. It was inevitable that you were going to fall in this situation. What are you going to do?

NOTE: I will be posting more of these because they're fun and keep you guys visiting and commenting. I'll let this one sit for a while, before I post anything else.

Hey everyone!
I am RAGD1997!
I played platform racing 3 back in the day and I used to love playing trap levels!
midnight traps, rainbow traps, basic traps by gumybot13! Along with Latisty, SoccerJJ, and Dr(something)!
Wow, its great to see that the Jiggmin forum is still living and up and running.
Its been 10 years and I still remember the times I've had and played the game and met many people here!
This is actually not the first time I've made the "comeback", I did post again here like 3 years ago but I forgot the password  and email that I registered with.
Forums are the OG social platforms. I hope they will also make a comeback!
Anyway, I hope you're all well!
If anyone recognizes my username and remembers me, I would love to catch up

You are the owner of a forum dedicated to playing flash games that you develop. You are about to release your hottest new game, a sequel to your most popular game. The day before you release this game, you celebrate in your house together an old friend, whom is a former admin beloved by the community. As you turn your back for a brief second, your friend gets shot in the stomach.

You with your friend

As he is pronounced dead in the hospital, you reconvene with the other admins from your forum and start digging into a major conspiracy to stop your game from releasing. There are numerous elements involved, including government agencies, who have a deep fiery hate against indie platformer games on the internet.

People who might be complicit

As you uncover more details about this conspiracy, you find out that people in your own community are involved. As the day progresses, many members try to help you find the answer, and more people end up dying as a result of this.

Community member that is probably involved

As the owner of such a community, how do you react to this? Would you be surprised that there's such a deep seated hate in the games that you make, such that people are willing to kill and start a geopolitical crisis to stop it from releasing?

A suspicious looking man moves into your neighborhood, next door. He stands 6 foot 5 (just like this man) and he weighs 290lbs, built like Brock Lesnar from 2002!

6 Foot 5 Man

Brock Lesnar 2002

He's a Human Resources manager, making six figures, who used to be a police officer near you. Everyday he gets up for work, wearing a suit and tie, driving his red, 2021 corvette stingray, ZR1. Unfortunately, this man absolutely despises you because you're in a relationship with his ex-wife, who dumped him because he cheated on her. She looks like her:

Hot Girl

Your girlfriend, who is his ex-wife, doesn't want that man because he cheated on her and now he's trying to get her back. The problem is that he's persistent and won't leave her alone, even though you told him to back off, multiple times. Before you even think about resorting to physical actions, he's twice your size and he's at least 7 inches taller than you.

He also has a background in professional boxing and holds a black belt in ju jitsu. You on the other hand, can't fight at all, holding zero skills! This man continues to press you because he knows he has power over you, and considers himself to be physically superior to you.

Fast forward, you come home from your job as a CEO of a tech company, catching your girlfriend flirting with her ex-husband by his car, next door to you.

Woman Flirting with man

Your emotions run through the roof, you're so irritated that you make the wrong move, yelling at this dude, popping him square in the jaw! Also, you're in love with your girlfriend.

A few people see that a fight is about to breakout, which means that the whole neighborhood gathers around (with their phones), recording the action. You're about to get embarrassed, badly because for one... he has a hard chin. Two, he's way more physically dominant than you are, so you don't stand a chance.

The fight breaks out, and let's just say that when it was over, you got some broken ribs, a busted nose, a busted lip, and a black eye.

Person beat up!

Then his girlfriend moves all her stuff in with him because she thinks that he's way more manly than you are.

To sum everything up: you got your ass kicked, you lost the girl, got embarrassed in front of everyone, and now you're trying to figure out what to do. Sure, you could press charges. However, that guy is friends with the police department, everyone in that neighborhood, and the judge.

Bad Guy Shaking Hands

Fast forward again, you decide to take this to court, anyway. Unfortunately, the jury decides that your guilty. The guy's lawyer makes up a lie, saying that he has a medical history and can be explosive if he's pressed the wrong way. Judge makes a decision to have you thrown in jail for 10 years, for one little fight??!

Oh and btw, you lost your job because for one, everyone thinks you're setting a bad example for them as CEO. Two, you're in jail, now.

Person in Jail

That's not fair! What are you going to do?

I don't think many people here know, but the PR head made it on r/place! For those unaware, r/place was a reddit event where there's a big canvas, and you could change one pixel every 5 minutes. This made it incredibly hard to make even something small like this PR head, as some people would randomly place pixels over it to grief it or make builds of their own. There were some other renditions which were worked on by a small group of us before they got removed by other builders. Shoutout to Tuxi for doing most of the work on this one. It actually made it on some of the final screenshots of r/place!

the Savannah I'm considering: https://savannah.nongnu.org/

I was about to publish something such as utilities to make a simple video of scrolling texts automatically, which depends on FFmpeg and ImageMagick. I am also thinking of something such as web interpreter for some esolangs such as Pxem, CLC-INTERCAL, Dis, etc.

I love checking in on the community every so often. These forums have always held a special place in my heart considering I’d spent most of my younger years learning and growing with all of you.

It was around 2013 when I had set out for college to study film & broadcast and eventually lost track of the community- well here’s an update, I’ve graduated and have been working as an assistant director for a large broadcast company and I absolutely love it. I’m happily married and am a proud father of a little boy.

Anyways, I saw the blog feature and thought why not. Here’s a blog.

Also shout out to Julius95 if he’s on here- he somehow found me on Facebook years ago and we occasionally check up on each other. Super random but he’s a cool dude.

I know this is definitely a stereotype, in my native language.

They are realizing gender equation but this time it did overdose; it's a censorship. It was done for Getsuyoubi no tawawa.
