If it's not ZDoom, it goes here.

- Being happy of entering this community with a novelty (and useless) discovery.
- Playing Unreal Tourney and Quake 3 the oldskool ways.
- Finally putting Doom on Android through the FreeDoom app. If i feel bored, i always have an Imp to fry. :lol:
- Threw Elder Scrolls: Morrowind on it aswell through the OpenMicroWave app.

- Nearing the end of John Stuart Mill's On Liberty.. A bit dry, but recommended. It contains some good stuff on perception of opinions and how they are dismissed. I didn't read Mill prior, so i was positively surprised how current some stuff of it is. For instance, the whole China/Hong Kong situation (Without going indepth here) is described in On Liberty... 130+ years prior.

So, a few hours after we went to the range (this was weeks ago, that's why it took so long for me to upload the videos), I got a call from my best friend who was telling me her room mate was scared shitless that her new BF she just dumped was going psychotic over the break up, and that he was going to hurt her and her kid. So, I don't have some white knight hero syndrome, and I don't think I'm an action hero or video game movie TV character or some kind of cop or soldier... but a female is literally telling me that another female that I love and care about said the words "Please tell [SouthernLion] to come, I don't feel safe." So, as scary as it was, I loaded up my carbine in the case with two magazines, closed and locked the case, made sure the carry gun was loaded, and headed over there. I didn't even have time to clean them from after the range. I pulled over halfway there and called my "it's complicated" girlfriend (she's the one that came to see me in March or April or whatever) and told her what was going on and that if anything happened, I love her. Called my mom and told her the same thing that I love her and dad. I drove in to the neighborhood with my cutouts closed (to make my car quieter, it is extremely loud when dumping the headers without the muffler) and saw the ex-bf parked in the street in the neighborhood away from the house, with his trunk open. The girlfriend told me he "keeps his gun in his trunk", so I basically start panicking. My survival instinct is screaming "Get the fuck out of there, this isn't your problem. This doesn't even involve you." but running away would have gone against everything I stand for as a man. I talk a big talk about keeping the people you love safe, but I run like a wimpy coward when a GIRL and her KID might be in danger? No. Absolutely not. That goes against everything I am. So I told the lying voice to shut its fucking mouth, swallowed, prayed to God a lot, and kept driving to the house. Him and I pulled up around the same time, I pulled in the left side of the driveway, him on the right, and I got out of the car and acted like I was talking on the phone to my best friend who lives there (but was at work), pretending I was talking about homework. (He knows I help her a lot with her college homework.) With my other hand (right hand) I unbuckled my handgun in the holster and turned the laser on (the switch is at the bottom of the grip, next to the bottom of the magazine and magazine well.) I don't pull it or anything, that would be a felony draw as there was no immediate danger. I just rest my hand on it out of his sight (using my car to block his view and act like I'm minding my own business.) He gets out of the car but acts civil towards the girl, although his attitude is like a butt-hurt entitled "fuckboy", he doesn't come off particularly aggressive or dangerous, and he doesn't make any threats or make any reaches towards where a weapon might be. He gets his stuff from her, like laptop, and some other stuff, and drives off. When he leaves, I bring in the carbine and put it up in my best friend's closet so the kid can't have access to it (it is also locked and secured) and start asking her what happened. Suddenly, he comes back in the driveway. I wait by the door per her instructions as she gives him the laptop charger that she forgot about, and he leaves again. I spent the night (sleeping in my best friend's bed, not hers, but I sleep in my best friend's bed a lot. Completely 100% platonic, my best friend is 100% lesbian, she just knows I'm not a creep and we are very close without it crossing a line.) Pretty scary shit. Glory to God for not letting anything happen.

Get this, though. I drive up a few days later, and his car is in the driveway. I thought one of two things is happening, either he has them at fucking gun point, or they are making up. I set down my backpack and unbuckled my gun (again), and slowly opened the garage door inside the house. (I'm allowed in the house without knocking, I house sit for them sometimes.) I heard her son joking and laughing normally, so I knew everything was okay, and made sure my weapon was on SAFE and rebuckled it etc. and went on about the day. Now they are back together, but I don't trust this fucking guy at all. If you put me in a position where I have to consider the serious implications of a life changing event, even in self defense, and possibly myself or someone I love being hurt, and me never seeing the people I love on this Earth again physically? I can't just suddenly have a beer with you because you made up with her. I am civil, and I have no say in who she dates or allows in her house. But it disgusts me that I was put in such a potentially dangerous situation and now you guys are playing grab ass again and actually officially dating after I had to go through this traumatic mindset of thinking someone I care about and her kid are in actual danger and the potential implications and play out of lethal self-defense (or being taken out or hurt before stopping a threat), while ALSO dealing with the grief and trauma of the tragedy of losing my beautiful wife physically from this world. I avoid him at all costs, don't even look him in the eye, and spend as little time in the same room as him as possible. I just go there to see my best friend now.

So. Yeah. That's how my last couple weeks have been.

Everything has been like all kinds of movie genre. Horror, Suspense, War... But glad nothing else horrible happened to any of us, at least.

About me, this year's like a Creature film. My neighbor's pet dashchund just won't stop barking sometimes and it feels like the dog is behind me...

As a user residing in a place where the mentioning of guns raises instanst eyebrows (we don't have them here), i said god-damn. What a chilling story. Glad you are safe, and so is she, but damn.

Have a wacky night out with her to ease the overall mood. I am sure both of you like it (If this is applicable).
