The PS4 announcement did something sinister to this forum and I don't like. Maybe I should just take some time off from the forum and let things settle, but I know it's just going to get worse when the Nextbox is announced and even worse when they launch.

I think some people are taking it and having a field day, but I don't think that it has to be much more than that. There's still lots of good people here. I have stayed out of most of the topics that gravitate around certain stuff... I just don't have time to get involved in debates. Most of the time I would not even post a thread like this. But I know all too well letting it get underneath your skin... thankfully my skin is much thicker now than it used to be. If I really hate how something makes me feel, I tend to get turned off to it for a while and leave... and by time I forget about it and stop caring, much of it has blown over.

Breathers are really good to take. That's why I wrote this topic. Some people think it's unnecessary probably, but I don't think so... It's important to remember the type of environment you're in and to occasionally take breaks when necessary. Some people it speaks to their strength to stand up and put up with the agitation hours upon hours end, but you spend so much time caring about it, you forget why it is you came to here in the first place... and and your discussions are not better for it.

I still recommend people here, which is why I try to be active at least in the female part of the site. I enjoy the Japan sales threads and there are a bunch of people here who I have gotten acquainted with that I find interesting. It's mutual (I think). But if it isn't, it's OK. They did me a favor having an interesting conversation... maybe at least that is mutual.

I don't try to hold too much of a grudge. God knows what makes people do the things they do... I've done the whole social experiment thing. I learned we all suffer and cope pretty much the same way... we fall into the same traps and sometimes we need to shake ourselves out of own crappy habits and change the way we think to change the results of our actions. Just like life.

I feel the same way. If I do take a break from the forum it will at least add more time to working with my new tablet.
