I like pickles for hydration. They are basically zero calorie, savory, and pack a ton of salt. Most hydration stuff out there is sweet and on a long day sometimes you need something to break up the sweet fitness snacks.

It’s too early in the morning for me to come up with a good RPG/ Dungeon synth joke, but

Rural Oregon is very red. There’s a behind the bastards episode on just how many racists there are in Oregon.

Yeah at first I was like “yeah those kids are so young” then I realized I was born in 96

I’m not particularly active, but I still left for OSRS a long time ago

I use Plex and jellyfin, honestly, plex only stays around because of plexamp. It’s just too good. I don’t like using streaming apps like Spotify or whatever because they’re not as good

Showing off is an important part of social MMOs. If anyone can have the really cool looking thing for some cash then what’s the point of grinding? For a hardcore player, what do they have to show off their prestige?

It’s pretty important for an MMO to respect its most active players. Not to mention, what do new players have to look up to? To think, what do I have to get that? If the answer is “oh I just have to fork out some dough”. That’s kinda disappointing

You’re probably in a better place than most severely depressed people because you think that you can get better! Probably the best thing to do is keep a growth mindset and try to learn as much as you can about depression. Getting over depression is a journey.

Lots of other people have said running & friends, those things help me. But recently/now I am depressed and running 40 miles a week and seeing my friends regularly.

What’s a really cheap solution? Pirate some bibliotherapy books! Feeling good by David D. Burns is older, but I’m reading it right now and it seems like a really solid CBT book. I would also recommend “Adult children of emotionally immature parents”. It helped me understand why I am the way I am

The hardest part for me is noticing when my thoughts are turning situations from good or neutral into bad situations. Paying attention to your thoughts in an objective way is hard! But some sort of mindfulness practice can help.

Journaling can be useful! You can train your brain to look for good things by writing out 3 good things that happened or you did every night.

I think I’d like to count the age of strife, the great crusade, and the hours heresy as all being different apocalypse. One ended the age of human technology, the next ended human diversity, and the last ended their hope?/legacy?

In a way, 40k is a post apocalypse story(there’s arguably a couple of cosmically apocalyptic events). The good guys already lost. This is what’s left still struggling, not to build anew, but to survive a little longer.

That only makes it cooler

Patrolling the Imperial Palace almost makes you wish for a Chaos Incursion

Not a fan of indie games are you?

Baba is you, is a pretty original puzzle game. I’m not really into factorio, but it made tower defense cool again. There’s lots more that are weird and interesting like brigadore, airships conquer the skies, cruelty squad, superliminal.

As far as I remember, portal was a mod or indie game that valve picked up because they thought the idea was really good. It was really good.

When I first saw it I thought more about voter fraud. Dead people voting.

Sounds like a good idea, I don’t see why not. Now if only I had health insurance…

I was taught it in New York, seems odd to omit it from American history. Wouldn’t surprise me if other states didn’t. Education is super politicized here.

Yellow and the subsequent games are pretty interesting puzzle games

I don’t make a living off of my calligraphy or anything like that. But I think that the value is in me being able to create more unique pieces.

Sure you can make a copy, but it’ll never be the same as having a hand made original. Then Again I’m not very good or successful.

The preservative they use is oil. You’ll notice your own bread dries out much quicker than the mass produced stuff. There’s maybe some other preservatives in there, but it’s mostly just a lack of water

Goat cheese and baguette is top tier snack. Y’all don’t know how to live
