You know you've been in the escapist for too long when

You don't see a dedicated forum game board.

When you start seeing threads you remember from V1 in V2.

 

[Shadyside]

When it's just a glorified user group.

When you see the name of a particular poster on a thread and go “Oh shit, here we go again”

When you come back after nearly a decade and still see threads about Mass Effect.

Mass Effect 3 was fine

When many of us moved to V2, we changed our avatars and now I can’t remember the old avatar (when they used them previously for years)

Hey I liked it, 8 minutes of bad ending shouldn't invalidate a bunch of genuinely fun character interaction.

Oh god we're back here again...

I’ve got two words for you: Kai Ling. I think he was worse than the ending. (The ending was fine for me)

Doesn’t it feel nice to be dragged back in...

I don't remember who that is, I could go into a whole thing, but we shouldn't do this, it's a slippery slope into the depths of depravity.

Help me.

Eh, I just install the ME3 Happy Ending Mod, that makes it all better

To be entirely honest, at this point, I've mostly forgotten who is who, besides a few people.

You're that Aussie, right?

Yep.

You’re Donnie pretending to be Pence right?

 

[Kae]

When you suddenly remember that the first time you got drunk you bought the Farscape DVD specifically because you were shitposting and @xmbts told you it was good without considering finances and forgot by the next day.

I still have the box-set BTW.

How do you know it's not the other way around? I do have a legal education, after all: just like you. And unlike the President.

I don’t have that picture on my phone. Also my last avatar was pornographic.

I mean to be fair, you could get that impression after only a week or so
