I really appreciate the supportive words. It does help. I'm sure we'll figure it out eventually.
I hope your situation develops for the better too.

Yeah if I hadn't been so broke I probably would have enjoyed it more. The paint was extortionate haha.
I just had a little random memory of running out onto the field at the start of my very first match and getting nailed right in the eye of my goggles. Like instantly and thinking "Ahh, so that's what war would be like." heheh.
Out of curiousity, did you feel particularly predisposed to having multiple partners before this situation came up?
I'm realising there's a big fear component for me in thinking about this- I quite like my life, or rather, how it appears to be shaping up. The idea of incorporating another person into my life feels like an intimidating set of variables.
Authorities have not identified the shooter or said what charges they face.
Wonder if we can guess..
Haha precision strike.
Now do Bob Katter
As far as I can tell it's business as usual for her and she assumed this had been the status quo for a long time. I want to give her some space more generally since we've spent a fair bit of time chatting over the last few days.
To be sure I'll stay checking in with her. It's ride or die regardless of whatever else happens.
Ah yeah I think we just called that generic "skirmish" where I grew up. There was a great field for that near by, but the bursts of action could be pretty sporadic.
Fighting Games can be toxic but are pretty good too. Excuse all the random thoughts I'm just trying to figure out how I used to scratch this itch myself.
Tangentially barely related but there's an amazing anime called Ping Pong which is probably one of the best bits of fiction I've seen about the internal and external struggle of sport and competition. Might see if my partner wants to find a spot near here.
Yeah I'm wracking my brain because I love flow state activities and I think I need to find one too. There's a local indoor gel blaster field near me I'm thinking about again now. I feel like paintball has a better incentive to not get shot, but then it also feels like a slower game (outside of speedball.)
Now I'm kinda miffed because I don't think I've hit that sweet spot myself since quitting competitive team based shooter games.
I've been treating myself to some sincere posting. It's a bold new flavour for me.
