I'm...stunned.
10 years ago
greenendorf blocked me. I...don't even... I liked him a lot. I didn't mean... I think I'm gonna be sick.In the comments of his Star Fox 2 post, I saw someone mention the "early 1990s palette", but I corrected them, saying Star Fox 2 was a mid-1990s game. FredrykPhox responded with "really dude", and I said, "Yes, literally 1995." What I didn't get at the time was that they meant the Super NES technology (from the early 1990s) palette. Greenendorf intervened, explaining what the original post meant, and to "knock it off". I didn't know there was a problem until just then. And I had a panic attack, I tried to explain what happened, but then my friend told me it's bad to explain for some reason, so I just deleted all those comments and hoped it would all just blow over. Took me two days to fully recover from that panic attack and flush the toxins out of my system.
Then, today I tried to fave Greenendorf's most recent submission. Then I was smacked with a message saying I can't fave submissions from someone who has blocked me.
I think I may be having the onset of another panic attack. Sometimes I just hate all these curve balls. Sometimes I hate being me. I'm going back to bed.
EDIT: Bed is no refuge. The toxins are all in my arms, and in my neck and shoulders and chest and stomach, and even in my legs. I feel faint, but can't actually sleep. I lay down for what felt like 10 minutes of gripping pain, and I check the clock and it's two hours later. Sometimes my body reacts to stuff in the most unhelpful ways possible, turning things that were just mere understandings, into full-blown crises I'm at a loss to deal with. I want to make everything right, and people not get mad at me anymore. :(
Here's another place where you went wrong:
In response to Aruphonse's "barrel roll" comment... "That line wasn't in this game."
Perhaps, but it is arguably the most memorable line from the Star Fox series, and with that in mind, Aruphonse's reference to it was not misplaced.
I know that you meant no harm, but when you suddenly butt in with your nitpicky "corrections", people tend to find that very aggravating.
Unfortunately, the damage is done here; Greenendorf seems to have made up his mind. The most important thing for you to do now is learn from this.
Here's what you should do next time you find yourself in a similar situation...
STOP before you respond. THINK: "Is this matter important, or at least significant enough to warrant a correction?" If the answer is no, then you probably should just let it go.
As for the barrel roll quote... I love Star Fox SNES games, but I always hated Star Fox 64. I know it's a kinda famous quote, but I suppose I mentally sort it as "not part of my experience", so I don't have much reverence for it as an "iconic" quote.
And yeah, I know in general I shouldn't correct people so much. I suppose that's part of my OCD - an inaccurate statement is like an itch that will just keep itching and itching until I scratch it. And if I'm already manic and not really thinking, I'll often scratch immediately it without giving it a second thought.
Unfortunately, I haven't found a satisfactory cure this. It's not like I'm bipolar. Mania is my normal condition whenever I'm feeling enthusiastic about anything. I suppose I could take the full recommended dosage of my medications, but doing that also kills all of my drive, and even goes as far as killing the music that constantly plays in my head, and that makes my mind feel painfully quiet. So my current medication is a trade-off midway between the two crappy options of feeling too much of everything (chaos) and feeling too little of anything (numbness).
