Leaving FFR for a while

[Riotpolice]

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.

Title: Leaving the house forever, right now

FTFY.

Seriously. Find a friend who has a couch.

[blindreper1179]

Bad environment. Get out. Best of luck.

[mellonxcollie]

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

[Wafles]

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.

[L.B.D.D]

maybe u shouldnt have played so much

[dAnceguy117]

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

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.

[Untimely Friction]

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.

[kommisar]

hahaha what a terrible father.



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

[Razor]

your dad is a weirdo

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

Omitted some random FFR talk shit

Riotpolice: Dude ouch.
I just got an ultimatum from my parents (again). If I'm caught playing games in the house, I get to go find an appartment.
rushyrulz: wtf
...
why can't you play games in your house
Riotpolice: Because my dad is convinced that games are not for "a man"
Excuse me, let me edit that.
rushyrulz: um
the fuk
Riotpolice: My dad makes up the dumbest rules of the house.
I know right?
But I'll play games when they are going to sleep, that way the'll never hear the tapping of my keyboard.
But like if I'm caught just once, gg.
Dude gaming should never be like this, I shouldn't have to worry about someone coming around the corner and have to alt tab every time.
When I get a better income and can actually get an appartment, I'll be free.
rushyrulz: what the fuck tho
Riotpolice: My dad has tried so many times I am wondering if he will ever get it that I won't stop gaming lol
rushyrulz: no games
Riotpolice: Yeah, no games he says.
You know he forced me to shake on it and say that "I am grown up and I don't play games anymore"
So pretty much, I'm screwed at the moment till I can get a better income and move the fuck out.
But other than that, I'll be fine. Just won't be playing FFR very much now since this rule has been instated.
rushyrulz: ............
"I am grown up and I don't play games anymore" wtf is this
Riotpolice: Yeah, he made me say that.
Obviously he won't get it in the near future that I'll keep gaming.
Like, he doesn't think that gaming can exist in a life where you like to go outside and do stuff that doesn't have to do with gaming.
Basically HIS life.
And this is MY life.
MY life is different than YOUR life.
And that's the end of it.
You won't change MY life, I'm gonna live it how I want to. And I feel the way I'm living it is good.
My dad is convinced gaming is a waste of time because you can't get money off of it.
rushyrulz: can too?
Riotpolice: I've tried to convince my dad that gaming isn't a waste of time because I wanted to let him know that it's my way of entertainment, but he doesn't understand that idea.
What I really wanna say to him is this: "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!"
rushyrulz: yea
Riotpolice: You know how you rage on a game somtimes, and you have to let out just a sigh or loud scream of relief? If I did that in my house, everyone would freak out and be like: "Woah, what happened, is someone dead?"
I can't really even game normally!
rushyrulz: lol I don't do that either, but that's just cuz I'm not an inconsiderate asshole.
Riotpolice: It's not even normal!
But I'm pretty sure all the time I've played on FFR has taught me to stop screaming and raging.
Because it leads you nowhere.
Like before FFR, I used to scream at my brother and when a game didn't go my way lol
But that was also like 8 years ago.
btw, markiplier has almost 2.5 million subscribers, so each time he releases a video, he gets over 100,000 views in the first day.
Meaning that it translates to huge money being made from each and every one of his videos
Like anything to waste my time on the computer he thinks is gaming related.
rushyrulz: what the legitimate fuck
Riotpolice: So yeah, things are a bit different in dis house lol
You remember I never had this problem back at my old house lol
I'll probably be the first to tell you that I'll be moving to a new appartment when I do.

===Left the rest in cuz lols===

rushyrulz: if you get scarhand on Shitsubou I will eat a pinecone
Riotpolice: Now work on your AAA's lol
rushyrulz: since I know the difference between 2-0-0-0 and 0-0-0-0
Riotpolice: You know I got 2 clean on shitsubou and that was a sightread right?
rushyrulz: shitsubou isn't a particularly difficult file
Riotpolice: I mean, sightread is pretty beastly
rushyrulz: but nerves will fuck you gently
I usually have better sightread scores than non-sightread scores
especially on a file like shitsubou
cuz it's very straightforward
Riotpolice: You might be right about my nerves, as they have contributed to many many blackflags in the past.
rushyrulz: like
First Epidemic has
a nice slow ending
to cool down on
shitsubou goes hard til the end
Riotpolice: Yes, but it has breaks in the middle.
Which I like.
rushyrulz: who cares about the middle
lol
the end is where the nerves will pwn u
Riotpolice: It's my skillset.
rushyrulz: I find the end to be the hardest part of the file
excluding the first 170
that intro pattern is just aidstastic
Riotpolice: Well I can handle it lol
rushyrulz: you think bullshitly fast awkward jumpstream isn't my strongsuit too?
what's your my fxxin desire score
I got 4-0-0-2 in MP
Riotpolice: Mine isn't an FC, however it's close to one.
14-0-1-2
I hate that ending though, middy is a dickbag.
rushyrulz: it's not even that bad
I was contemplating trying to AAA that one for scarhand
Riotpolice: Because it's so short?
rushyrulz: then I realized the hard part is at the end
soooooooo
Riotpolice: yeah lol
nerves to hell
Could you AAA it now you think?
rushyrulz: no
I'm happy with low sdg
for now
http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/FFRStats/daily.php
like literally
all 116
are me
Riotpolice: wooooahhh
you restarted a ton dude
daaaayum, I can remember those days when I'd restart like at least over 50 times to get just ONE synthlight song AAA'd
rushyrulz: but I got like
400 arrows in
most of the time
and that number doesn't count reset button lol
Riotpolice: usapon is still top of the leader board, how does he have that much time on his hands lol
rushyrulz: lol
it's not even that high
brb playing VS Boss Battle 10 timse and usurponing him
Riotpolice: GOtta wake up at 6 tomorrow, gonna go to sleep early
Keep smashing~

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)

[choof]

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

[L.B.D.D]

"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

[L.B.D.D]

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

[Kekeb]

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.
