In which we get updates from the lives of tropers. Kinda like Twitter with more than 140 characters, but less than a blog or LJ.
Please refrain from excess venting in this thread. Talking about negative emotions is fine but it's best not to dwell on them for too long. TV Tropes is not suited to deal with mental health situations.

Well, I helped my mum and grandma create facebook accounts.
I'm sure this won't come back to haunt me.

Last year I taught my grandma to facebook. Meaning that I showed her how to post, like and comment. She still can't update her status without my help.
Ah, yes. To join the other ten users.

The ten users who are not also on YouTube.

Google Plus: the Antisocial Network.
Also, someone dug up the Beverage shirt picture on Tumblr again. And yet again it's spreading like wildfire... Although I would really fucking like to know why are they reposting the version without the link to the fucking shop?!

Started playing Final Fantasy XIII 2. Thought I'd jump right in because I was sufficiently familiar with FF 13's gameplay, and then got terribly surprised by some of the new game mechanics. Damn, cutscenes have quicktime events now? So much for hanging back and watching.
You just reminded me that I actually have Final Fantasy XIII that I bought years ago, still untouched on the shelf. Maybe I should get to it one of these days.

Funny thing is that Google Plus is being phased out.
I funnily enough enjoyed it and found it better than Facebook, but oh well.

I'm not really a fan of social networking in general, so I did not take the integration of Google+ on YouTube well when it happened.

Aw bugger. :( I liked it too.
Google+ was great, except, nobody else has it. Even so, I like Facebook more now; not because it's better, but because they actually have a Windows Phone app.
I'm trying to come up with a different title for my fourth book. I was planning on calling it The Dark Insurrection, but I don't want to have too many Antagonist Titles.
I smell magic in the air. Or maybe barbecue.
Wait, does that mean that the tyranny of Google+ will no longer exist on Youtube?
YAY!

Too bad, it weeded out at least part of the comment bullies...

The only good thing Google+ did to YouTube, in my opinion, was getting rid of the character limit in comments, as I have the tendency to write long-as-hell garbage.

Pretty much the only things that brought were ascii mario/trollface/what have you, giant walls of text, and HAY LOOK I CAN PRESS ENTER 50 TIMES

Apart from that.

And then there was the (top of ascii trollface) (10 blank lines under a readmore) "Hey you clicked read more. now that's a real troll."
"Funny thing is that Google Plus is being phased out."
This is false.

No big user-facing changes tied to this at all.
@Moot: The G+ comments overhaul also made comment moderation a hell of a lot easier/better.
I think Google Plus is actually better than Facebook as far as both interface and features go. Its launch was just botched in any way imaginable. When people really wanted to join it most couldn't, and when everybody could join it nobody cared anymore.
"Just as planned."
That makes sense - trust Google's general flexibility to cause something like that.
Rachel, you moved from the UK to Mexico there? How is it there?
"Just as planned."
I'm moving at some point in the future for definite.
Right now I just want to see how this election goes, and go while I can.

I sold a bunch of vases to Neil and Emmy Cicierega the other day. They seemed pretty nice, and I didn't fanboy out too much because I was concentrating enough on operating the cash register and wrapping them that I didn't look up until I saw the name on the credit slip.
