RIP School Survival Forums
August 2001 - June 2017
The School Survival Forums are permanently retired. If you need help with quitting school, unsupportive parents or anything else, there is a list of resources on the Help Page.
If you want to write about your experiences in school, you can write on our blog.
To everyone who joined these forums at some point, and got discouraged by the negativity and left after a while (or even got literally scared off): I'm sorry.
I wasn't good enough at encouraging people to be kinder, and removing people who refuse to be kind. Encouraging people is hard, and removing people creates conflict, and I hate conflict... so that's why I wasn't better at it.
I was a very, very sensitive teen. The atmosphere of this forum as it is now, if it had existed in 1996, would probably have upset me far more than it would have helped.
I can handle quite a lot of negativity and even abuse now, but that isn't the point. I want to help people. I want to help the people who need it the most, and I want to help people like the 1996 version of me.
I'm still figuring out the best way to do that, but as it is now, these forums are doing more harm than good, and I can't keep running them.
Thank you to the few people who have tried to understand my point of view so far. I really, really appreciate you guys. You are beautiful people.
Everyone else: If after everything I've said so far, you still don't understand my motivations, I think it's unlikely that you will. We're just too different. Maybe someday in the future it might make sense, but until then, there's no point in arguing about it. I don't have the time or the energy for arguing anymore. I will focus my time and energy on people who support me, and those who need help.

Scratch that.
Decided to play 2. Sure, a bit clunkier and lacking certain entertaining aspects vs 1, but I'm missing the better inventory and the whole "all weapons upgradeable" thing.
Just need to figure out how to get the cutscenes to work properly so I don't have to wait 5 minutes to see a ship fly across a planet for a couple of seconds.

RE: What are you playing right now?
Woot. Solve my kotor2 problem. All I had to do was disable movies. The option only disables the intro movie though(which is meaningless anyone and has nothing to do with anything). Cutscenes remain, which the entire game has.
FINALLY!

both lovely choices, don't forget to download the restored content mod, and m4-78.
i like the original kotor a lot more but since I've played through it like 15+ times I gave 2 a try (I've only beaten it once and I was a lot younger) and with mods and cheats it's pretty fun
anyway i'm playing League of Legends right now...so fun

You act as though I've been downloading games all my life. This is only the second videogame torrent I've downloaded, and the third game. (Portal 1 and 2 packaged together...don't remember who by though, but they were already cracked and everything.)
Tell me about the differences though.
