My Bluetooth dongle surprisingly arrived in the mail this morning, in a bag 2x bigger than needed to ship it (because fuck the environment).
It’s so freakin’ tiny, and was a bitch to plug in. But I got it in one of my USB 3.0 ports.
Installation was simple(ish), requiring Windows Update to get the drivers needed to make it work (which had an update for 10, and needed to restart my computer).
Tried out the device by connecting my phone to it. At first I felt I got ripped off, but it eventually detected I had Bluetooth. There I had to verify this code between my phone and my computer were the same (for security reasons, which I do like), and paired the two.
Sadly, I should had let my hopes down as my phone is too fucking old to enable file transfer to and from my computer via Bluetooth. It requires Android version 4.4.4, and I have 4.0.4.
I originally thought it was my firewall that was causing the issue.

But at least paring my PS4 controller is doable (and works great.. hell, it works without even needing Big Picture mode). Though I was confused how to pair it. But I eventually figured it out thanks to Google.
The only downside is I have to unpair it, if I want to use it with my PS4. And I had an issue with my PS4 that I had to re-sync my controller to it. So it’s possible I may have to buy a second controller.
But since the only time I use the controller is for Battle Discs, and stacking bottles (in VRChat), I doubt I will. Plus, once I get VR, I would had wasted money if I had gotten another controller (since the VR controllers are much better than my PS4 controller).

Moving on. You’re probably thinking “no shit, you actually thought it wouldn’t be?” upon reading the title. And I was hoping I would see… less of it. I know drama doesn’t die, but..
Anyway, this drama isn’t about Creepery or anything like that (or anyone in a Best Boi community), but of problems with a few friends who are testing my patience. One of these, has already been blocked (then later I find out I actually did the right thing, learning this guy is very toxic).
The other one is named ‘lilpuppyboy’. I know him for having this strange ‘obsession’ of touching feet in VR. And several months later, he’s no longer doing that; trying to watch what he does as to not piss off anyone …the problem with him is, he is very ‘clingy’ to anyone who becomes his friend.. who happens to be me. He also tends to talk your ear off.
–
Luckily, he’s mature enough to understand (and happily will listen as an adult), and has tried to limit the overly talking thing. But I’m still trying to ween him off the ‘clingy’
part… and I don’t know how I’m going to be able to do that (without causing unnecessary drama).
But today, I’ve had enough of this and was forced to deliver the truth. It.. pained me to do it, and I could had gotten one of my friends to tell him. ….. And he didn’t take it well, saying that I’m not the first to tell him there’s a problem. He also said to not say “my friends”, saying they’re also his friends as well, and claiming that he just happened to be in the same room with our shared friends.
The rest of it, was a big shitshow.. feeling the guy needed help and him saying he didn’t.

Then later on that day, I did probably one of the stupidest things in my life (that is still eating at me as I type this). I wanted to see Kovo (who’s also been going through stress of trying to help people). Trying to track him down, I nearly ran into puppyboy who said “don’t think I don’t see you there, Benie”.
Instead of just saying “I just wanted to see Kovo”, I turned around and walked away. And I heard him calling me a little bitch for doing so. I stood there, hoping someone would come by and distract him, but it just got more and more ugly (to the point I joined off another friend).
A few minutes later, he calls me a “dickface” and a “little bitch” in a Discord DM. The guy clearly has anger issues. Probably quite toxic as well, as others also agree that there’s a problem with this guy. And this is literally all I got to make me feel I did the right thing.
I tried reasoning with him in that DM (before this mess), and he pushes me away (saying it’s not a problem). So why should I even bother talking to him?
–
On the other hand, I feel I deserve what I was called, being the lowest form of scum for what I did. And it’s too late to apologize (the irreversible damage has already been done). And what’s worse, this isn’t even something I can simply move on from.. because I feel I royally screwed myself (since he’s friends with my friends, and I feel he’ll turn them against me).
Then he can laugh and be all “You always said you wanted to be alone. Well buddy, you got it. All of your friends are against you. How does it feel to be like me? Hated. Unloved.”
I pray the above doesn’t come true, and they would still hang out with me. Though I feel I should take a week or two off from VRChat, to hopefully let things simmer down.
But if my fears come to fruition… then I’ll likely join Creepery’s server (and stick with the Best Boi’s). I’ll (try to) make new friends, and hopefully they won’t stab me in the back (and say “lilpuppyboy sends his regards”). Though I’m pretty sure the guy feels I stabbed him in the back (even though all I did was try to talk to him, and get him to understand what I’m trying to say).
*sighs deeply* …I fucking hate drama. Ergo, I hate myself for what I’ve done.
