Leaving FFR for a while
 

Hello everyone. By now most of you probably already know who I am around here. I'll make this short and sweet so you don't have to read a mile of text to know what is happening. It is likely you won't see me for a long time on FFR, my dad went ape-shit yesterday and shot my phone with a .22 because he is convinced that games are taking over my life. He has threatened to kick me out of the house if he catches me gaming again. He's also taken my computer away from me, and I cannot get it back. Until I get a job with my degree (almost finished this year), I will not be likely returning for a long time. I bid you all farewell, I hope to see everyone again someday. Goodbye for now.

I really don't understand why people feel the need to shoot/break/destory things to make a point.

Just take it away.


Good luck Riot. See you soon!

Best of luck, man. Hope to see you back here soon.

Re: Leaving FFR for a while
 

FTFY.

Seriously. Find a friend who has a couch.

Bad environment. Get out. Best of luck.

Re: Leaving FFR for a while
 

Agreed with Dev... is there anybody you could stay with? If you wanna come to Canada I will put you up


<3 good luck Riotpolice, we will miss playing TWG with you

Re: Leaving FFR for a while
 

Jesus fuck if someone took a gun to my shit the last thing I would be worried about is posting it to fucking FFR. Get the fuck out of there, thats one HELL of a dangerous environment.

Re: Leaving FFR for a while
 

maybe u shouldnt have played so much

Re: Leaving FFR for a while
 

yikes. good luck Riot, looking forward to hearing from you again.

Re: Leaving FFR for a while
 

I'm not going to lie, you have taken this game far too seriously for a very long time. And seeing as you've been a well and proper adult for a couple of years now (most likely,) you probably do need to find a job. It sucks that your parents have chosen that particular method of impressing that fact on you, though.

Get outta there, man. Best of luck. Come back soon.

Man what if he shoots your girlfriend so you can focus on school :S

Forreal though, as you're in shcool I wouldn't advise finding a friends couch as dev said, thats a huge ass life change especially while so committed to school. you're making the safe choice now as when you've got your degree you should find SOME work, and then can ACTUALLY EASILY move out, whereas you might be up shits creek without a paddle if you dipped or got kicked out now.

Good luck riot and I hope to see you again bro. Had a lot of good times with you and you're one of my favourite bros on this site. Be well and dont let your girlfriend get shot!

I hate it when parents take stuff way too seriously.

I feel like (at least for me,) that it's a good cop/bad cop relationship for parents when it comes down to the son/daughter/children. You're 20 for fucks sake, they shouldn't have to throw that big of a tantrum in your direction to get you to change your life. Heck, I would have been just fine if they sat down and talked to me about it formally & sternly. I wouldn't have went with the rebelling teenager/high consequence tactic.

Re: Leaving FFR for a while
 

hahaha what a terrible father.



get out and take care of yourself mate. no human deserves that sort of treatment

Re: Leaving FFR for a while
 

your dad is a weirdo

Re: Leaving FFR for a while
 

he's in school you fucking shitlord

stay safe, riot

Re: Leaving FFR for a while
 

I have a little more info on this if you wanna read these IMs:

Omitted some random FFR talk shit


It's a fucking shame. I don't understand how people can't make the connection that playing video games is how some people spend their free time, rather than camping their ass in front of a television (which is for some reason perfectly acceptable to riot's dad, I happen to know)

Re: Leaving FFR for a while
 

that's because riot's dad is very obviously an idiot lol

"You don't think gaming can bring you money? I want you to look up a youtube user named 'Markiplier' and see what he's doing. He makes videos on the games he plays and gets thousands of dollars doing it. In fact, his only job is gaming!"

i lol'd really hard
please try not to use these middle school type of arguments against your dad, he might shoot your computer too


compromise with dad and don't play ffr around the house

cant you play somewhere else or like not play if he's paying for a lot of your stuff like rent, tuition, whatevs (i mean it's the least u can do rite)

i know ur dad went to SrS measures but i'm assuming you're not paying for everything (internet, phone, utilities, food, rent, tuition.. do you pay for everything?) maybe the least you can do is respect some of AuThoriTy

cause i'm 100% sure this isn't the first time your dad asked you to stop playing games and shit

Re: Leaving FFR for a while
 

tl;dr

it's both ur and ur dad's fault (yours for making him go over the top, him for going over the top), somebody's gotta give so i guess it's you since u can't live on your own atm

Re: Leaving FFR for a while
 

It sounds like your father wants you to become more independent. Also, a small fraction of people making bank playing games doesn't justify spending an exorbitant amount of time tapping keys.
