I wouldn't say I was exactly ripped off, per say. But one day a man approached me as I was walking to a life drawing class. 99.9% of the time I would simply tell them to fuck off, I don't like strangers approaching me randomly on the street.

I didn't for some reason this time. They told me a story, and it was a fairly convincing story to me at the time. I wanted to help them, so I gave them $5.

They thanked me and were on there way. An hour later I reflected on the story and started to see holes inside of it that I didn't originally see. It felt bad.

It felt really bad to me.

But, I felt at the end of the day, even if they went and just had a couple hours of fun in an alley way with my money. If they convinced me to give them my money, with a story they told me, then.

I was a fool, and they earned it.
(I felt; utterly crushed into the ground like nothing else before.)

Lol I think there was ONE time I gave a panhandler money. I have no idea why as I never do. I just could care less for what ever reason.

I remember this one time a friend of mine sold me this way overpriced stamp. Said I would enjoy it; ending up being a pretty crummy stamp at the end of the day and it held absolutely no value to me.

Waste of money.

I have never thought any ATB system was too slow. It's nice to have long animations in which you can plan your next move. Now I haven't played 8 so I don't know how egregious it is, but in earlier FFs I always just went into the spell list to stop the ATB, plan the turn, and then execute it.

Especially FFV was horribly difficult if you didn't act fast enough. If you spend time thinking while the enemy can move, bosses'll get like three hits in on you before you act.


FF5 is either one of the hardest FF games or one of the easiest depending on who you ask. Lots of people struggle with their first playthrough, and it silently encourages players to really experiment with the class and skill combinations to find what works. It's a VERY tactical game; much more than what is apparent at face value.

And if you don't wanna deal with any of that, you can just roll a Blue Mage and Chemist and make half of the game a joke.

See, I'm one of those kinds who try to master every class. For each person. FF5 was good for that. XD
FF5 is best for challenge runs! The Four Job Fiesta is definitely a fun one to participate in.

I have never felt ripped off myself. I once ripped someone off but I didn't mean or want to, it was really fucking weird, and really screwed me up emotionally for awhile. I used to make music a lot, I wasn't really good but I enjoyed it. One day I got this fan. It was okay at first, but they started acting really strangely towards me.

Like really strange.

They began claiming my mother was a witch and was injecting magic into my music that was making people enjoy my music more then they should. It really scared me and I told them to stop and that they needed to get help. But they wouldn't. They would not leave me alone either, they stalked me on every single social media outlet I used. Eventually they started to claim I was a witch too and had cursed them some how with my music.

Soon after I found out he had killed him self.

I couldn't help but blame my self. I was just making art I had no intention of this happening. I don't understand what the hell even happened. My music fucking sucks, why did someone do this? I can't even bare to play piano anymore because of this. It just makes me think of them and I'm scared I would do the same to someone else if I ever started again.

I'd really like to get rid of LockeZ. His play style is way too unpredictable. He's always like this too. If he ran a country, he'd just kill and imprison people at random until crime stopped.

Has anyone ever been or felt ripped off before?

I made a guide to hacking the music in Final Fantasy 11. Someone decided to take it upon themselves to sell it on eBay along with a set of about 10 other FF11 guides, as a set of goddamn text files that the seller emailed to whoever bought it. They were all on GameFAQs so it was extra-stupid.

I emailed him and told him he was a fuckwit. He responded and said that he didn't even put the zip file together, and had no idea the guides were on GameFAQs. He was told it was okay to resell the collection of text files by the person he bought them from. Come on. There's no way, you idiot.

Anyway, like, who cares. It didn't actually matter, since it's not like I lost sales or something, so I got over it in about ten minutes. And I'm pretty sure he never sold copy (and that it was really just one dude) because honestly, who would be stupid enough to pay for that?

But in the next version of my guide I added a disclaimer at the bottom stating that if you tried to charge money for it, I would put balogna on the hood of your car, drop your car keys down the sewer, and email your entire porn directory to your mother.

Dude, none of this is your fault. Some people are just fucking crazy, and will find anything to blame for it. You were just the most convenient target.

This story sucks really badly and I feel terrible for you, but I don't really feel bad for the guy who killed himself at all. Like I'm actually angry at him for what he did you you, that's terrible. It almost sounds like he killed himself purely as a personal attack on you. I'm just an angry stranger who thinks art is really valuable, but in my opinion, you should make the best damn music you can just to fucking prove him wrong.
So it seems at this point that I'm finally getting my life together.

SLOWLY

But it's nice to have money for once.

How did you find out he killed himself? Did his mother post on his social media account that this happened?

I thought you were pretty ruthless to begin with, but this... this is cruel.

Thank you for sharing that story sevene. I think what that person did to you and them self is awful. They were a weak person to begin with, and it is unfortunate that they did what they did. Your story reminds me a lot of myself actually.

I wasn't a good fan to someone.

But, I would like to think that I have grown from the experience and became stronger because of it. I think the worst period of my life was when my dog was dead: my mother was dying of Glioblastoma, my parents were separated, my girlfriend at the time was cutting her self, I had no friends, I was working 50 hours a week doing manual labor, I was convinced this person I was a fan of was going to come and kill me, and last but not least I had given up on art.

I remember I wanted to die so badly, so badly, but I could never bring myself to try. I think that may be partly why I thought this person was going to kill me. I was to scared to do it myself, I mean I was scared they were going to do it too, but I would not be able to control it in that situation. I remember quite clearly that it felt like my girlfriend was attacking me when she cut, even though she was not.

I'm still with my girlfriend, and she is much much better now, and we now have a really really good cat who we love so much. I feel like if I manage to make something of value with my experience then I can forgive myself for all my sins I have committed against myself and others.

Thank you for your words LockeZ, I feel they have given me new perspective on myself.
Everyone that I've told this story too essentially just told me that it's a fucked up story.
Yeah, I KNOW THAT. THANKS FOR REITERATING WHAT I ALREADY KNOW.

Your words really gave me perspective though, so I want to thank you for that.
Thank you for your stories everyone! I don't think I can be ripped off anymore because the musician I commissioned a track from said they were too busy with other things the make the track for me.

I think that was the best outcome I could of asked for, honestly.

Thank you for your business inquiry, BusinessCat.
I think this is the best spam we've ever had on the site and I'm thinking we should keep it around. Bonus points for no links in it. Also, cute cat in a tie. What's not to love?

Hello, I am a kind cat! Sorry for the English, it's not my first language.

I am here for business. A partner of mine is concerning me of late. She might have messaged an affiliate of mine, due to a disagreement.

How does this concern you? It doesn't. I've made a hit web-comic, with quite the following!

Please tell my partner I am smart and kind. Tell her there is truth to the things I say. Tell her how lucky she is to be my business partner! If you don't, well, we'll see what happens! However, situation depending, I may make reference to you guys. I mean, if you're nice, I don't make references to anything anywhere.

Please consider this as a business exchange. Thank you for your kindness.
