It's been over 3 years since I made a post here on the forums, and 5-6 since I was active. Looking back at the posts I've made, my forum legacy definitely paints a very.... chaotic picture

I may have came to this forum a bit too often during some formative late-teen years? 😬 It's hard for me to judge my old self too harshly here though,, he was certainly way more generous with his small part-time retail job than I am now as an adult!

Anyway to celebrate the new years, and change, in the spirit of one of my old posts where I gave away games I really liked the look of that hadn't been given away on this site before, I thought I would—you guessed it—share some cool games that have never been given away on this site before!


Train (level 3+):

david yodeled, xenophobes ran rapidly


I'll also do a sort of similar whitelist thing, as I have some whitelist giveaways going. But instead of asking you to uncomfortably force out a compliment to someone on the forums for the whitelist chance, I will just ask you to uncomfortably share your oldest posts like I did here for it! :) Share a potential blast of nostalgia - I might recognise some

If you don't have any old posts, then... idk. Share something embarrassing about your old self? Social media posts or a story/fact.

My cave-man brain has always struggled to find small to medium scars as anything but cool looking, so I find it hard to relate to this, but it's sad to hear that was such a present thought in your mind growing up. Lord knows teenagers tend to have enough to deal with with the standard insecurities already

Hope you don't have to cover it up anymore :)

What a unique train! I'm not familiar with any of the games and will have to spend time reading up on them. Thanks for sharing!

I haven't been around that long and I'm not a very chatty person by nature so I don't have many posts. The few that I have are just generic giveaways in the Puzzles/Events section, so there's nothing for me to be embarrassed about really. I'd love to post something more creative but the inspiration hasn't struck me yet. When it comes to news, I feel that I'm always behind the curve, so even when there's something worth sharing, chances are it's already been covered by others.

Welcome back!

This might be more dumb than embarrassing, but one time I saw a cat waiting outside my neighbor’s door while they were away, and I let the cat inside. They didn’t have a cat.

That is really funny, and I would definitely be a bit embarrassed myself. They presumably knew you well enough to be comfortable having you open their door, but you didn't know them well enough to know they didn't have a cat? 😭 How did they react when they came home to a new cat hahaha?

I was 6, so my logic was if the neighbors had a dog, they must have a cat, too. I played with their kids, but they never mentioned the random cat in their house, and I never confessed lol. I think/hope the cat was ok because the dog was friendly. Maybe it ate some of the dog’s food. I’d confess today if I saw them again!

Well i have not made numerous posts to reach that stage. But I do have something suuuper embarrassing that i did on SG.

Last year, January 2023 I discovered Giveaways! Joined bunch of discord servers and eventually came across Steamgifts. Heck I didn't even know what 'bump' meant until someone explained as I'm new to forums in general. Anyways I discovered something called Group giveaways!
I explored using the 'subscribed' post tag and started reading thru, requesting and joining different groups.

Fast Forward to April 2023, I'm quite SG-literate. I am entering all the several daily trains and bumping the posts occasionally. And suddenly I find myself blacklisted by ozo2003! I was a bit confused...since I did just commented a helpful advice to some random user who seemed confused.
But guess what!? The next day of that comment I was blacklisted.

Turned out that in January in the spur of the moment, I had requested an Invite to Ozo2003's Winners only Group!
They explained the same to me here.
And so I understood their reason, and left the room with my head hanging in Shame.
THE END 😌

This was the only L i have had on SG thus far, the rest have been 38 amazing Wins and counting ^ ^.
On the bright side I have developed a thicker skin, and don't mind blacklists as much as before. And if there is a group, I read the post atleast 3 times before commenting haha.

Oh that's not actually too bad, it's an easy mistake to make, and if you were going through multiple groups it's not much of a stretch to say you could confuse one with another. I definitely messed up in/with a few groups over the years back when I first joined. I definitely found it hard to keep track of all the different rules and commitments, and lord knows I was never at all really financially stable enough to keep up giveaway commitments for too long. :P

Okay, so I've only been here for just over a year, and I don't think I've made any embarrassing posts. Instead, I'll share with you what may be the most embarrassing experience of my life. I don't tell this story very often, but what the hell, why not - I'm old enough to find it funny now!

More than twenty years ago, when I was about 14, my younger brother (9 at the time, I'll call him A) and I had gone to the grocery store with our mother one evening. At one point, A was upset that our mother wouldn't get him some cookies that he really wanted. No tantrum or anything, but it was close to his bedtime, so he was tired and definitely getting pretty emotional. I decided to try and cheer him up or at least distract him, I picked up the frozen chicken that was in our cart, held it up in front of my face, and started talking to him in a weird "chicken" voice. "Come on, A, it's alright! BAWK BAWK! If you want, I'll bake you some cookies this weekend! SQUAWK!" Things like that. And it totally worked. He started giggling, and then laughing out loud at my antics.

And then it happened.

From behind me, I heard "So, this is what you do outside of class, Knightress?" I turned around, already knowing who was standing there. My science teacher, Mr. M. As in, the man who's class I would be attending first thing the next morning. A man who was very serious, even stern, and expected everyone to comport themselves with as much maturity as they could muster at all times. He never joked, never laughed, hardly ever even smiled. And now Mr. M. was seeing me act like a nut and talking like a chicken in the middle of the meat department, something I never would have done if the store hadn't been nearly empty at the time, much less if I knew he was around. I said nothing, just very calmly put the chicken back in the cart, turned back around, and walked away. Right to the public washroom, where I stayed for the next 20 minutes. I have never been more embarrassed.

It all worked out though. When I walked in to class the next morning, he said his usual "Good morning, Knightress." "Hello, Mr. M." I replied, and headed for my seat. Nothing else was said. But, when he returned our science quizzes later, written on the top of mine was "Great job - BAWK BAWK!" And we never spoke of it again.

Thanks for the train, Zaugr, and happy new year! 😄

That is such a cute and wholesome story! 💙 From being a good older sibling, to getting a bit of a joke out out the always serious Mr M.

Thanks for the story Knightress, and happy new year to you too! :) The very short but dramatic journey I had from immediately hating this Mr M to thinking that maybe he wasn't such a bad guy??

Also gotta say, you were fs a sweeter older sister at 14, than I was an older brother at 14 aha... I probs would have done the exact same with the raw chicken, just under a very different objective in this situation.. 😄

The most embarrassing thing about that post has got to be the glaringly missing extra 'o' in the title smhh

Interesting that the overwhelming majority didn't seem to think the point total should be reduced though, and yet the change was made, and it seems to have been beneficial? I do definitely recall always having too many points back then

Happy new year bump! :D Hope the holidays have been treating everyone well and thanks for the train.

Embarassing story time: in like 5th grade I told the whole class I wanted to go to Golden Corral to see their seafood. I thought 'coral' must have ocean stuff and the misconceptions resulted in the whole class laughing at me. Btw, GC is a western/cowboy themed restaurant chain that has a buffet for people unfamiliar.

I mean, I would have assumed the same now haha. Tho I'm not American or anywhere near horse people so learning what a "corral" is is new to me... Is the non-seafood food at Golden Corral nice?

I am not sure. After the misconception was cleared up, I didn't really want to go anymore. The ads seem like they have some nice meat variety, but I prefer another buffet place called Sweet Tomatoes because it has a solid range of options for both vegetarians and carnivores.

Luckily, my oldest posts disappeared years ago. Instead, here's a crummy little story from a long time ago, when I still used FB:

 Once upon a time, Lucifera was in a long distance relationship with a man, named Mr. A-hole. Everything seemed fine, until one day Mr. A-hole suddenly broke things off with her, without much of an explanation. A year or so later, Lucifera received a message from Mr. A-hole , who wanted to get back into a relationship. After a little while, hesitantly, Lucifera agreed. Again, all seemed well, until one day Mr. A-hole uploaded a photo of himself standing next to a girl with big tits. When confronted about big tit girl, Mr. A-hole claimed that she was just a friend that he'd met at a guitar lesson, or some garbage. Not long after, Lucifera dumped his ass and moved on.

The End.

Long distance relationships are the roughest, really a form of self-inflicted torture. Definitely sympathise. I lasted about a year and a half in mine 😬 (I was defo the Mr A-hole, but not as A-hole-ish as your Mr A-hole)

I wouldn't call this embarrassing though, especially as you promptly dumped his ass and moved on just fine!

Sorry about that, it's just what usually comes to mind when I think about my social media days... drama and nonsense. I don't really have any embarrassing stories from then, at least not where I was the one embarrassed.

Since I didn't initially give you a proper answer, I'll give you two short, but genuinely embarrassing, stories from my childhood, lol.

  1. Back in the mid-90s, in the place I was residing, there was this somewhat new Walmart in town. I went to this Walmart often, with my mother. There was this strange trend, where gift items were placed inside large, inflated balloons - stuffed animals and beauty products were two of the items. I had a love / hate sort of relationship with these things. I was a silly child who wanted one, but at the same time, they annoyed me. Well, one day, my mother and I were finished shopping there, and were at the checkout. Whilst she was finishing up checking out, I went to hang out up front, where they just so happened to have displays of those damn balloons. For some reason, I'd been carrying around a wood screw in my pocket. Being the little shit that I was at the time, I thought it'd be a good idea to take out the screw and press the tip into one of the balloons. As you'd expect, there was a super loud boom. I stood still for a moment, and then slowly turned around to see everyone staring at me. My mother, who was rightfully pissed, dragged me back to the checkout, and then we quickly left. I don't remember her being charged for the thing, but I do remember that they weren't cheap.

  2. Also in the mid-90s... whilst my mother and I were at the mall, she decided that we should get something at the food court. I don't recall what kind of restaurant it was, but they did serve soda. After we'd ordered, my mother told me to take the tray, which had two large sodas on it, to a table, and she would wait for the food. I grabbed the tray, and like 2 seconds later, as I was walking, I lost balance, and the drinks went flying to the floor. Luckily, the food court wasn't full at that time, but people still turned and stared. I just wanted to drop dead right at that moment.

Welcome back!

My embarrassing story is something many people can relate to. Last year I sent a raunchy message intended for my boyfriend at the time in my work group chat. I realized my mistake a couple of minutes later when I received this reaction 👀 from a colleague. I immediately deleted the message, fortunately only a few people saw it and they were the young ones.

Okay that is v much certifiably, definitively embarrassing oml 😭 Raunchy texts are the worst too. They can never not be the cringiest thing imagineable out of context / outside of that one particular moment in space.

Isn't the young ones seeing the worst outcome tho haha? Swear they will talk the most and get the most excited ab the drama... Also gotta say, the amount of people who were already in my whitelist that have come and shared embarrassing stuff anyway is both very surprising and welcome

Young people may joke about it but they'll be more understanding because they probably made similar mistakes. Old people will keep it to themselves and judge you silently, which I fear more 😂
