I am also very lonely – I have no offline friends.

A game, the third in the _Elder Scrolls_ series of which the fifth is the more widely known _Skyrim_. The guards are just [as quotable](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8Higghuw_I).

I live mostly offline, but if I did not, SDMB would be where I spent the most time online (non-work online anyway).

I spend most of my cyber time on Wired, Reddit, and games like GTA V Online, Arma 3, and Planetside 2.

Forgive me my ignorance of modern games. Is there anything as good a Runescape?

Cyberhome – a forum, Social Network, website, or a game into which a Homo Interneticus has invested substantial posting time and energy.

Cybermuzzle – a moderator’s threat to evict a Homo Interneticus from his/her Cyberhome unless the Homo Interneticus changes his/her cyberbehavior.

I spend half my online time in Second Life, half in various Facebook groups. That is about half my day. I homeschool my 10 year old, cook, clean, and take my daughter to her various therapies but my fun time is online. I have a few friends IRL but they’re all important people with busy lives.

I live offline, but visit this world often. My life is one of an amazing relationship (almost 26 years), it took work but is worth every second, friends and family of choice. I’m about the luckiest happiest person I know.

I visit online for conversation and to read new/interesting things.
