Forwarded you other friend's PM at FFShrine.
The Best Medicine > Magic. Because SCIENCE! can prove the former.

I know I have a USB gamepad already, but since I'm looking for something that looks and feels like Sony's I thought of getting another one for testing purposes. For obvious reasons I have to use an adapter in order to use it on a PC. Trust me, despite what the sales rep says that the adapters won't work on Windows 7, it does, although you might have to download a driver for vibration to work.

I guess only time will tell if he'll reestablish contact. He's hiding from everyone he knows. No one knows why, but I respect his privacy. I will not attempt to pursue reestablishing contact with him.
Wha?
Hmm...well, I guess that settles it then. We should leave him alone until he is ready to come back online.
As for that disorder...could you send me a PM on what the particular name of it is? I would like to research it. I have a hunch on what it may be though, but for the sake of privacy, we should keep it as the "one that begins with the letter a"
Overall, this brings closure to why he has been avoiding us and the internet in general, even though we don't really know why he cut off contact. He could have at least said something before going away, such as a simple goodbye.
But...at least we know he is perfectly fine and alright.

I know what that means, I think we all doWell, I was reluctant to post it's name because said friend who unearthed that was reluctant to post it to the thread discussing said friend's disappearance at another forum I'm in. Plus, apparently in the US, this condition carries a mixed connotation. Perhaps anywhere in the world for that matter. I'm considering undergoing diagnosis myself given that I realized how some of the symptoms listed on Wikipedia applies to me, but then someone pointed out that if positively diagnosed, I may lose my job. May, because I do not know what is my company's policy towards employees with special needs. Right now they just think I'm a bit of a weird mad scientist genius.

Surely admitting imperfection is better than being so lonely.Actually, said sister posted that back in 2009. None of us knows of his sister's blog until now. Something must have happened to him in June that caused him to become afraid and hide from everyone.
