Topic speaks for itself.
i’m personally leaning towards *”From”* fumbling the bag. over the seasons, it has had significantly lower lows and fewer highs. I think the Boys will end up disappointing everyone more because it was good at one point (s3) whereas I expect From is going to be the actual worse ending because I don’t expect them to answer anything or clear anything up.
I don't know how many of you have gone through this, but I wanted to write and see if anyone else had experienced this phenomena.
Recently, a good friend of mine took his own life. He was a fellow millennial. He was a troubled guy, and I wish things had gone differently for him, but psychiatric issues are a bitch. I've known him since I was a teenager.
Something that hit me, really hard, was the realization that he was the only person I'm friends with who knew me in those years. It's not that other people aren't alive/around, it's just that he was the only person left in my life who has been along for the ride from high school blunder years all the way to nearly 50. with his passing, it occurred to me... I will never revisit so many memories of those years ever again. Without a person who was there for it, who can remember it with you, who can recall little quirks and tidbits about you, your personality, your life choices, your experiences... so many of those experiences are essentially going to be locked in a filing cabinet in my mind, never to be read again.
It's not that I don't have other friends. This is just the one friend who has been through all of that with me. And now they're not here anymore, and they won't be adding any more events to the logbook. There are quite literally decades of my life that will never be mentioned or brought up again because the only person who was around who would think to bring up those memories is resting now. Some of those memories will be happily lost (i.e. bad relationships, stupid decisions of little consequence, random fights over frivolous shit) while others will be almost tragically archived (discussions about first crushes/love, philosophy, envisioning the future, sharing our hopes and dreams and regrets). I remember the first time I skipped school with this friend so we could go loaf around the mall, or the first time we had to lie to our parents to sneak out of the house for a party. I also remember being in his wedding party, and college graduation, or the endless number of games of SOCOM we used to play together in high school like a second job. And now... it's just all finished and over with for good.
Have any of you gone through this yet? I'm not particularly overwhelmed or spinning out or anything... I am just more kind of taking it all in that, moving forward, there won't be nearly as much looking back, or peer-reviewing decisions and outcomes from yesteryear. The man I am now is the only man the world will know going forward, because one of the only gateways to my past is now closed. It feels as though I've lost a part of myself along with my friend, and it's just a really disappointing moment.

I figured I'd just roll a strong, out-of-the-box character in SSF mode and test out what has changed since I last played 2 seasons ago. I've previously rolled Pathfinder, AoC, Gemling, and Chronomancer. I was thinking of maybe running a Huntress or a Sorceress since I haven't rolled them before, but given the short timeframe before the next season, I'd prefer something that comes online earlier than later.
