The Path of Pain? Yeah I gave up on that too. Also gave up on trying to beat Grim, even in my second play through.

Luke Chiang-Used to Me. He sounds like Sam Smith but…more vulnerable I guess. Been stuck in my head for a couple days and playing it constantly!

The last three or four songs from Jungle have been FIRE. The videos are awesome as well.

Been eyeing an Opus 88 demonstrator for a while but if I don’t have to drop $120 for a pen I don’t wait to. Going to try a PenBBS 355 first, heard a lot of good things about it and curiois about the filling system.

Plants, painting, crochet, gaming, motorcycles, reading, music, penpals, fountain pens.

Really into Diablo 4 right now and in the process of buying plants# 15 and 16. Will get a new fountain pen for Christmas as well. I go through about a book a week give or take depending on how interesting it is.

Yes. Also commenting on your Dig Dug icon, which I love!

Not a furry but just wanted to say I love your username!

Not sure if I’d call it bullying but my boss is giving me a hard time about the fact that I’m leaving. She REALLY wants to know why I want to leave so she can try to fix it but I can’t give her the reason that started it all because it was over a year ago and there’s been a lot of little and not so little bullshit things that have happened since then. Turnover in general is definitely higher than it should be and I get that they want to address that…but I just want to slide out the back door and move on with my life.

How am I dealing with it? I’m standing on my resignation and I have two weeks left until I’m gone. Setting boundaries and working on sitting with my feelings whenever possible.

Wario. His butt makes me laugh, especially on a motorcycle.

Absolutely. I’ve bought all of my phones from eBay and never had an issue.

There’s a special plant in my heart for Alan Watts ☺

I have really good hearing and I’m good at guessing pronunciation of people’s names in certain languages.

I have fond memories of listening to conversations at the other end of the table at family gatherings. If we’re out with a bunch if people, I’ll listen to the various conversations.

It was definitely a tough watch for me. I think I only got through it because I watched it at work or while doing something else. The family dynamics were good, as was the ending, but good lord the stuff in between was a trainwreck.

Frostpunk. OMG never have I played a game like this. It was emotionally exhausting and I didn’t realize it until I finished the first scenario. I was like if been holding my breath for a few weeks and was finally able to let it out. Started a second scenario and I honestly don’t think I can do it again. I loved it but WOW.

This game was FANTASTIC. Would definitely play a sequel if it came out.

This one is on my list too! How does it compare to Factorio?

This one was a surprise for me too, got LOTS of gameplay out of the demo and looking forward to the full game!

Buddhism. Was raised Christian and my parents forced me to continue going to church even when things started to not make sense in early high school. Went from “You must go to church with us,” to “You must go to church SOMEWHERE.”

In college, I considered Islam, Taoism, and Buddhism but nothing stuck so I stayed with what was familiar. Finally came back to Buddhism a couple years ago and was like “Yep. This is it.” To me, Christianity is a constant moving target that will never be reached in terms of what you’re supposed to do and not to and it will generally always be your fault when bad things happen because reasons. It’s something you have to carry with you your whole life.

When I first really started learning about Buddhism and learned that it’s like a raft that you use to get yourself across the river and you out it down when you don’t need it anymore, I was like YES PLEASE SOMETHING ATTAINABLE, EMPOWERING, AND MAKES SENSE.

I can relate but lack of socializing in college didn’t bother me (I’m an introvert). Didn’t make any friends during undergrad and made some friends during my grad program that I still talk to but most of my friends are from high school.

Everyone’s college experience is different and just because it didn’t check certain boxes (unless they’re important to YOU), that doesn’t mean you failed. I think it’s put out there to be this special time in your life but “special” is subjective.

Helps me remember things. Definitely prefer paper.
