==============================================================
\nMay the day be with you<\/span> \/ Jero’s controller surgery<\/strong><\/em>
\n==============================================================
\nKind of a boring day. Had another talk with my mother (she started said
\nconversation) about how I wanted to move to that apartment, and also how I really wasn’t thinking straight.
\nI also watched a few Twitch streamers due to it being May 4th.. the whole ‘May the
\n4th (force) be with you’ Star Wars trope. This isn’t usually something I do, but
\none Twitch streamer is slowly starting to make me warm up to them: this guy<\/a>. His voice matches his cute otter avatar so well. Followed him on Twitter as well.
\nMet him through another famous Twitch streamer, that a few friends of mine who are part of Kovo’s server are infamous for of making chat say one letter<\/a>.. “A”.
\n=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
\nLater that day, Jero gave me an update that he started working on the operation to replace the faulty left thumb stick with the one from his old controller. And that night, the surgery was a success! His freezing in place issues are gone! WOOT!!
\n==============================================================
\nNew movies in movie world + Unexpected VRChat update = Headaches<\/strong><\/em>
\n==============================================================
\nWhile Jero was fixing his controller, I got a message in Discord from the LS Media Discord server that they finally added the newest Sonic movie and a movie I really wanna
\nwatch (The Bad Guys). But by the time I typically get in, VRChat released an update mainly for PhysBones. Great.. wonder what’s broken mod wise. Surprisingly, nothing! Got on, and went for the LS Media world.
\nSaw one of the two new movies. The Bad Guys<\/em> wasn’t there. Weird. I thought they added it. What’s going on? Invited Jero who wanted to see the new Sonic movie with me (and so did I with him).
\nHe started the movie, and started talking about what he was seeing.. while I was seeing a black screen. Uhh. Are you sure about that, Jero? Because I see nothing. Checked the area where I normally would see a viewing bar, it showed ‘Invalid URL’ instead. Immediately I thought this was a mod-related issue. This has got<\/strong> to be on my end, because it’s working fine for him.
\nJero assumed “region lock”.. HOW though?! That makes no sense, even to himself. Why in the fuck would they region lock it in America?!<\/span> It’s in English! Anyway, I tried clearing my cache and even disabled mods. Every time, I got ‘Invalid URL’. Jero had an idea, of grabbing a link of the movie in the UK, so I can paste it. I waited for him to go get the
\nlink.
\nThen a thought came to me, to check the other movies. “Could it just be this movie?” I thought. No! No, it was happening to every. single. one! They were all giving me the same error. WHAT THE HELL!! ..Please don’t tell me I have an issue with my computer!
\n–
\nSo I reported this to the LS Media Discord server. Three minutes later another person reported the same problem. Huh. I may not be alone in this. I added additional information that a friend of mine in the UK sees the movies but I can’t, and it was working perfectly fine before the VRChat update. The owner of the world responded to both of our messages, wanting logs. I send mine and the other person sent theirs.
\nBack in VR, Jero had one more idea: to make a new instance of this world in the UK. He felt pretty confident this will work. We tried it, and sure enough it did!
\nSo yeah, talk about using a VPN. Heh.
\n==============================================================
\nGiving Jelly a reality check<\/strong><\/em>
\n==============================================================
\nWith the movie over, we both really liked it. To be spoiler free, I liked how it
\ncaptured Sonic 2 and Sonic 3 pretty well. And the ending, really interested me. There is going to be another movie. That is a given. But it might not be ‘Sonic The Hedgehog 3’.
\nMalice then messages me in Discord. I’m thinking “hmm, he wants to hang with me”. I
\ntell Jero and he’s heading to bed, saying he’s going to be changing his schedule or something like that. Dunno if that means I’m going to see him less or more often. Likely less. But anyway, I said my goodbyes and waited for him to log out, then went back to my homeworld.
\nOnce in, I started looking up worlds for ‘apartment’ (looking for a new home world as this one is too ‘dirty’ with drama now). Found several by the time Malice wanted to join me.
\nHe talked about his job mainly, and I did my best to listen in. Jelly then joined and stood infront of the mirror, then he ran off. Found that a bit rude of him but tried to ignore
\nit.
\n20 minutes later, Jelly comes back to the mirror. He turns to us and then starts
\nscreaming. I’m like “Jelly! Dude! I’m trying to listen to Malice!” He stops then goes over to him, and tries to ‘help’ by not listening (at all) to what Malice is telling him. I had to tell him “Jelly.. shut your mouth and listen!” ….I hated saying that, and it really made me feel bad when I saw Jelly go for the mirror like he was pissed at me raising my voice.
\nI’m just really getting tired of him not really.. being there for Malice. Felt I was dealing with a child who honestly doesn’t really need to be in a relationship.
\nWhen Malice was done talking, I tried to apologize to Jelly for what I said. But he wouldn’t say anything. Malice too was trying to get ahold of Jelly, so I told him “I’m just going to head outside to leave you two alone” (feeling I may’ve overstepped my boundary for speaking up).
\nHalfway to the back outside area, I hear Jelly suddenly saying “what happened??” over and over. I sighed when I hear Malice sigh about me walking away, turned around and went back. Knowing how Jelly’s attitude is, I had a really difficult time getting the right words out that wouldn’t make this even worse on me. Somehow I managed and didn’t get slammed for them. ..Infact I started warming up to him over this. He knows where he’s fucking up, but he doesn’t know how to fix them (or why it’s so difficult of him not to have these come naturally). He said 10 years ago, he was much worse than he is now.
\n—
\nSo I tried to ‘teach’ him, mainly on how to be a better friend and lover to Malice. I explained the three C’s of a healthy relationship, and to try to be there as much as you can for him. But always listen. Be there to listen, so he’ll know you care.
\nBut as I continued to explain, I feared I would eventually start repeating myself and sure enough I was. RL family curse. I tried to move on and go to a different topic, but I kept going back to the last one. Eventually I did stop myself for a long time. And all of that
\ntime, I assumed Malice was asleep (he actually wasn’t). So I told Jelly literally
\neverything.. and I mean everything, even about myself. Like how I was worried about them breaking up and that I would be labeled as ‘boyfriend material’ by Malice.. but I backed it up by explaining this has been happening almost constantly to me, of people falling inlove with me because I like helping people out with their relationship issues.
\nJelly understood me completely. I’m very glad I was able to talk to him and not feel scared about doing it. Outside of his rough attitude, I can see someone who really needs help to be a better person. But right now, he hates himself. I dunno what I can tell him. Tried to say “that’s good, because it shows you want to improve” but he took it the wrong
\nway. And.. I shouldn’t had said anything honestly. I only made things worse. ..Oy.<\/p>\n

Later on, he left. And that’s when I discovered Malice.. was still awake and heard every single word we said. That’s both good and<\/span> bad, but that really depends on him.
\nPersonally I don’t feel this is going to be bad. Like a mix of good and neutral (mostly good). But then again, who knows? Maybe I did go overboard. We’ll have to see.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
