Yea, Forza games hold their value. Luckily I got the first one for free when it was offered, I think, on Xbox 360 one year for a limited time. The second one, I couldn't find for under $20. I traded like mad and got two copies so Mark and I could play it. We are super hooked. It was a good buy. Now to find Forza Horizon 3 for something reasonable. I think, because they're exclusives to Xbox that they will hold their value for quite a while. 

Oh yea, the Star Wars one. I want to play that. Fat chance it comes to consoles though. 

I didn't finish Hey! Pikmin. I wanted to but I got caught up in the Etrian Odyssey V demo and the I had the chance to trade it for Culdcept Revolt and went for it. One day, when I have some cash, I'll get it again and finish it. I liked it, just not as much as games like Etrian Odyssey or Culdcept. 

I loved Temple of Osiris. I'm real tempted to go back and try some of the challenges. I'll keep it installed for when I get the urge. 

Yooka Laylee isn't bad, I just had trouble with the rolling mechanic in certain areas. I'd give it another shot if I could get it for cheap or free. 

Oh man! Golf Story looks COOL! Wish I had a Switch. 

For some reason, Happy Gilmore came to mind. 

Ha ha! Great vehicle. 

Oh, I totally watched this as a kid.

Sometimes I think the whole world is getting depressed right now. It's just a depressing time. I was really bad over the summer and almost entered a hospital. Luckily I've tried this year to keep a friendly dialog going with a few people around me, and that's kept me from the worst of it. And I am the worst when it comes to communication. It's my biggest challenge at the moment.

It also sounds like you have some less than sympathetic people around you. Find one person who's not going to lecture you and that may keep you sane enough to figure things out on your own. I'm always trying to be self reliant, but I'm finding I need other people to survive, as much as I'd like to think I could exist alone. 

Also, I realized that health issues can be a big contributor to depression. Diet and exercise are really important. I copied this page from Web MD and pinned it on my wall. It's a top ten natural depression treatments. Most of them are just lifestyle things and not stuff you have to buy. 

And if you need meds, you do. I'm on them now, but I hope to fix some stuff and get off them eventually. I hate taking meds!

Take care man. You're not alone. 

All relgions seem to deal with sorrow and suffering, hence their appeal. I like Budhism too. I found reading about it really helpful. The positivism thing can get a little rediculous sometimes. I prefer to focus on feelings. Just being honest is best, and you got that. 

I'll second that. I couldn't have said it any better. 

Culdcept is a really weird word. I had to spell it for the Gamestop employee, it was so foreign to him. I don't think it's an actual word. 

I got a sense of what VR might be like switching to cockpit view in Forza. I was worried the stuff I learned in the game would carry over into my real life driving. So far, not. 

I love certain types of racing games, games like Burnout and others that aren't sims like Forza Motorsport, Gran Turismo, etc. . . . Forza Horizon is like the wacky twin of Motorsport; although, it's not that wacky. Maybe it's just easier, I'm not sure. I just know that five minutes into Motorsport, I was out, and five minutes into Horizon, I was hooked.
