As a reminder, please do not discuss current struggle sessions in the mega. We want this to be a little oasis for all of us and the best way to do that is not to feed into existing conflict on the site.

Also, be sure to properly give content warnings and put sensitive subjects behind proper spoiler tags. It's for the mental health of not just your comrades, but yourself as well.

Here is a screenshot of where to find the spoiler button.

  • Playing dark souls 2 again the only way I know how, killing everything until it stops respawning. No skill just patience, if the developers didn't want me to do this then it wouldn't be an option

  • The PS3 version of

    adventure 1 isn't terrible but I think the main drawback is lack of wide screen support.
    adventure 2 is much better I find in this aspect not to mention over battle it retains Big the Cat cameos. These ports often get malinged but outside of these two issues I still think they're good

  • Boomers complained about millineals being pure instant gratification and then zoomers come along over correcting by coming up with the term gooning. We really love in a spectacled society

  • I have been sitting on my sofa writing an essay incredibly slowly without moving or having a real night of sleep (I've been napping at least don't worry) for the past 4 days and yet I am feeling nothing but joy about it right now. Why does Hegel do this to my brain. Why am I such a junkie for deliberately seeking out the hardest shit I can find to think about. Why is writing this essay genuinely so much fun.

  • Date tonight has to be rescheduled due to my date being under the weather. Was really looking forward to it, but also feeling a bit of relief since I have also been really tired this week and I have a lot to do at work today. I still have a busy weekend with two other dates, so not going to be lacking. I'd like to say that I'm never going to overstack my schedule like this again, but that would be a lie.

  • I'm interviewing for a new job, its probably going to be a casual position in a different city. I'm doing it because, I gotta get the fuck outta here by August (this town drives me crszy) and also because I have an in there and they liked me when I was a student. I'm gonna end up being a crazy person who picks up shifts a 5 hour drive away only to then turn around and go back home to my full time job yeach

  • does anyone have any ideas for stuff i could do in my singleplayer minecraft? i'm trying to take it slow because normally i would play very min-maxy and beeline the end and stuff, but now that i have enchanting setup and plenty of diamonds i need ideas for stuff to work on that isn't just "beat the game". can be anything from a basic build to an automated farm or nonsensical contraption, or a more abstract goal. love all my trans comrades and glad to see the megas starting to pop off again!

    also look how cute my UI is, i love vanilla tweaks!

  • I'm like so close to modding daggerfall now but then comes the hard part of continuing to play it after I get the mods I want. Can't say how many times I went out of my way to mod something only to abandon it, only time I stuck through was

    adventure 1 and 2.

  • The way liberal cis women discuss a hypothetical "matriarchal world" reeks of binarist essentialism and cisheteronormative naivety. It really often is just "more female war criminals" shit. When you have people who don't actually understand how systems of oppression work discuss their frustrations with said systems of oppression, they end up inadvertently promoting oppression in the process of these discussions.

  • There's no way I'm getting nostalgia from being active in the trans mega...

    I think I missed this, y'all. Oh and I'm gay.

    But really, idk why this week feels like such a classic trans mega experience. I'm more active yes, but there's something else about it. Is it the effort of beating the news mega (because they're literally in the dust, well done transgender patriots), is it the weather being warmer again (Pride 2024 mega throwback), is it literally just the fact that high comment count is getting to my head? I don't know, but I've been having fun this week. Especially today, I kind of feel like I'm spamming but at the same time it's such a throwback.

  • Today, I took a little sneak peek at the knitting group I’m about to join. Was only there for about an hour, just saying hello to everyone and getting familiar with the rules there.

    And fucking wow! Everyone there was so damn nice.

    I was fully expecting things to be quite awkward, because "intruding" into a community where everyone else already knows each other usually is, but they were really forthcoming towards me.

    So, yay! I finally get to be more social again after distancing myself from others for so long.

  • Half my coworkers are perimenopausal, some have radical hysterectomies. We're all on estrogen (even me~). We talked about premarin and I mentioned the scythian cult-thing that drank pregnant mare's urine like 4000 years ago, they thought it was cool. Rural women

  • Anybody else here ever just get a really strong case of the gays?

    Who am I kidding, I already know the answer.

    Anyway, girls pretty, reading/seeing yuri always sets me off for weeks so y'all are going to have to keep dealing with this. Sorry, but also, not sorry.

  • Was staring at my folders for a while as elder scrolls music was playing looking for where my daggerfall files were only to realize I forgot to install daggerfall. Cart before the horse and all too busy wanting to mod daggerfall I forgot I need to install daggerfall

  • Update: still understimulated and fucking wired like so goddamn.up but incapable of doing anything. I hate my brain i hate my brain make my brain be normal please

  • I like to think it's my high empathy stat but when my sibling feels achy and bloaty from period stuff so do I. I keep myself in good enough shape otherwise so I don't think it just me. Either way some caffeine on hand helps

  • TW: medical recovery and pain ::: spoiler spoiler I just got ffs two days ago and Jesus this recovery is painful and psychologically pretty scary. My face looks very fucked up right now, and I’m pretty anxious about how it’s going to turn out. Thank god for Percocet though :::
