I prevented 2 suicides, years later one of them on their deathbed (died of liver failure) asked their mother to send me a thank you for saving them, since so much would have been missed if he died like the birth of his daughter.

You know, I'm still figuring myself out, but I am proud at the progress that has been made in that regard. I may not have the best life, but I have found so many people who support me in multiple different ways. I am proud that I can say I am myself and that attracts people usually. Random bits of video game knowledge and my undying thirst for knowledge, learning, and finding retro games new to me.

I guess I can actually say I am truly proud of myself... I need work still, but I am always improving. I'm usually fun and funny, even caring. Might be why my partners like me or something

- I don't smoke. The only smoke I like is the one from Mortal Kombat.

What are your feelings on dodongo

 

[Perseonn]

A couple of things:

• I've rolled all my entertainment stuff into my brobdingnagian PC. I've considered to actually decrease this PC's size due to my age as I lost the strength to properly put it on a shelf higher than my shoulder.
• Picked the best wife I can ever have in this timeline or the next. This year will be my 10th wedding anniversary and we never fought even once.

For in surviving in life with what I went through and I'm computer literate I guess.

In today's world robbing a bank and getting away with it is something to be proud of, much more so than most things people would consider an achievement.

Fun fact, banks don't normally store mountains of cash money like you would see in movies, because most of them are quickly put into use to help Currency in Circulation, and to deter robbery in the first place. Inside these safe are instead Safe Deposit Boxes which don't normally hold direct monetary value anyway, and while banks do hold some amount of cash it's usually just enough for the bank's daily operation. That's why you are expected to make an appointment with a teller if you want to deposit or take out large sum of money.

If you have played Payday 2, the Bank Heist map's safe is the closest rendition to reality.

I could just imagine him thinking he's gonna dive into a pool of gold, only to hit the floor.

Not sure how hard metal would break his fall in the first place, but hey, it was the '90s.

quite honestly? not all that much I'm proud of. my dream of working in restaurant or a café or literally any place where i work with food has been kind of shattered so i kind of feel like I've wasted my time.

I don't think you wasted your time, you certainly learned a lesson and that's worth its weight in gold in 2025. I hope you can find something better, but life is about making mistakes and learning from them. If you didn't learn, then you wasted your time. Either way, you do have knowledge on the subject and you can try to apply that to the workplace and even life in some places.

You got this friend, I hope you're doing well!

Yeah, I take that back on what I said earlier; There is SO MUCH MORE to this that I am very proud of, and I'm just a coward at that moment for not explaining it to my fullest. If there is one thing that take pride in, it's having to be proud of every achievement that I had gotten: Not only that I had graduated high school with high honors and gotten to Life Scout in Scouting America (also known originally as Boy Scouts), I had done a bunch of things to other people, with some of them even thanking my life for it. If I wasn't so much of a successful kid in my family, I wouldn't be touching this on my work PC that I have besides the latest phone of 2024 and my gaming PC. There is so much that I wished to have as a kid, and while I don't have a job (yet), I'm entering my second semester of college high proud even after I failed my first semester due to me getting used to the new college system. If there's another thing, I'm proud of, it would have to be my Backloggd. I know this might come off as crazy to others I believe, but with that being the case or not, Backloggd has helped me a TON when it comes to improving my English comprehension and how I get to playing new games and whatnot:

I used to struggle with getting into popular media because I was raised to stick to certain things for specific reasons. Now, I'm working on broadening my horizons and exploring new interests. Backloggd, a site for journaling the games you've played, has been a great tool for me. It's similar to Letterboxd, allowing users to discuss their experiences with games. Believe it or not, this platform has encouraged me to play every game I have access to and revisit old favorites. Through these discussions, I've been able to reflect on and remember my gaming experiences, which has enriched my current and future endeavors even outside of gaming.

And to top it all off, I'm very proud of myself. This might sound narcissistic, but I've noticed something about people with a negative past: they often try to push it away as much as possible. I don't do that. While we all wish we could let go of our past, it's important to remember that our negative experiences shape who we are. Most of my negative experiences involve bullying, but I use those experiences to ensure that everyone around me has a better life than they think they have. Some people might downplay themselves as a joke and think my positive endeavors make me sound crazy, but constantly thinking negatively about yourself isn't the right approach. I've been bullied in school for a long time (true story, by the way, I'm not joking about this), and while I tend to remember these negative experiences more than the positive ones, I still hope to find better experiences that I can cherish and share with others.

And to top it all off, I'm immensely proud of the current communities that I involve myself in. Well, except one, but come on, I can hardly say anything bad about the ones that I'm currently active in other than minor personal nitpicks that I have with certain members that I personally don't like engaging with which is like one or two. All the communities also helped me to develop into a better person, and other good things that my mind just immediately forgotten to talk more about.
