idk, don’t really know who i am right now
Bleak weather makes some music sound better to me too
Totally. I’ve listened to the Frostpunk OST a bunch in the past week, haha. (it was raining yesterday, so even better)
I take Vitamin D3 which is supposed to help, but still some days are tough until I get used to it.
same, but the snow, cute tights, warm lighting, hot drinks, and bundling up usually make it worth it for me. But some days are tough
damn, thats awesome on all counts
I’m not a psychologist or a counsellor, so this is like, just my opinion, but …
I think these parts, the part you’re calling “pattern recognition” is meant to protect us. I don’t think we can stifle them, or give in to them completely. I try to compromise with mine - ‘what would it take to be honest to this person about how i’m feeling right now?’ ‘What if you just allude to it?’ ‘Could we just send one message and not wait for the reply?’
These parts get stuck when we get hurt, according to my therapist, at least.
COVID happened and I had to leave school for multiple reasons. I opened up to her about struggling with depression and all of it and she said she was there for me. She pretty much never texted me first at this point, it was just me reaching out.
I try not to keep track of these things, and remind myself that relationships can still be good even if all conversations are started by one party. Some people are shy, but still happy to talk etc. I co-regulate on this a lot, asking Partner “do you think they hate me?” more than I really should…
So texting feels broken because I do not trust anybody to respond to me. It sucks.
I can relate to this, for sure. It’s such a struggle. I’m busy, even I take a few hours to respond, but sometimes … I still get the fear, 5 minutes after sending something.
watching Partner play World 6 of Yoshi’s Island rn and I was previously convinced that I had beat the game when I was young, but definitely not now. Wow, world 6 is rude lol
thank you, good post. I was going to make a sassy comment about Winamp being “source-available” (derogatory) but it’s helpful to have you explain this instead, appreciate it. (I am a software dev, but I struggle with licenses etc.)
yes, that license is unfortunate… i am not a license expert, but “private use only” modifications is sad to me. i mean, the difference with the GPL is just that contribs need to be upstreamed, right? that seems like a better balance, if so?
this, this is mine ^
The real world creates the panic and the internet is a reflection of it.
someone needs to explain superstructure and base to journalists
thats a good plan honestly
True, I just haven’t spent the time to properly learn it since I dont do much graphic stuff.
yeah totally, knowing it won’t warm up again helps - you really need that steam level research then, it’s pretty cool, i just get some weirdness around the numbers like “-60? I’d be dead, it doesn’t matter what I’m wearing…”
i love me some same sex romance in media, every game should have a gender (at least) and sexual preference (if theres romance) slider tbh
This, I hate PDF forms so so much.
this tbh, I will put up with a lot of jank to escape subscription fees, especially predatory “monthly” (yearly) fees
update: it turns out that exercising sunday night short-circuits the “work tomorrow” anxiety! i’m too tired to be stressed lol
I’ve been playing the first one and is it stressful. I just can’t get used to the fact that people have to go out there in -60 weather. I’m assuming it gets colder, still, right, and that we never go back to nice easy safe -20? I wasn’t prepared for -60, and I don’t have enough steel to build more Steam Hubs in every workplace, so I kinda quit for the time being before the frostbite killed everyone, lol.
i tried to play Download the Future on hard in pistol whip. I am not ready for the future, apparently
that’s cool, how would a classical music/ambient/shoegaze/vg music person get into those? where would you recommend this hypothetical person start?
