I just feel silent contempt for them. Especially when they talk about animals getting killed for their enjoyment with pure glee on their faces

Around 5kg I think, it's not much but I take some other medications that probably make me hungrier so the Ozempic has to counteract that. I will try to mitigate the damage as best as I can, thank you for the advice

Ozempic now needs a prescription in my country (as the fucking pharmacist informed smugly about) and my doctor is on holiday until 3/9. I feel so fucking hungry and I am afraid I might reverse whatever weight loss progress I had made. Meanwhile my parents are asking for my progress in finding a job (which I haven't started at all). I'm so fucking cooked chat

It's dead, there is no fun in just browsing anymore. You are going to encounter some chud's bloodthirsty take or a piece of doomer news that is going to sour the mood really quickly into a session. You aren't going to have the pure-hearted fun you could have had even in 2019 (although things were obviously worse than before both in the digital and IRL space already). Even now you are consuming more and more AI slop without even knowing it is slop, in a few years time it is probably going to drown everything genuine out.

I miss having something relatively "easy" to do during the downtime between other stuff, now I just sit on the computer for 1 hour and then just stop in order to avoid doomscrolling when I could spend hours and hours into exciting new things on the web before. It was my home more than my real hometown or country ever was, and it probably shaped me into a better person than I would have been if I had only gotten my right-wing parents' upbringing, and I will forever hate the capitalists for destroying it and depriving the next generations of it.

Will a gap between jobs damn me completely? I am so out of it after the previous job where I was practically forced to quit by the middle manager due to needing a WFH accomodation in a brutal manner. I just want to have fun now. Haha I am incapable of adulting, sometimes I wonder if my parents are ashamed of their loser son. At least they have 3 more kids that seem to be less disabled than me (but they are neurodivergent too probably)

You might be autistic besides having ADHD (these conditions are highly comorbid). In that case you might be experiencing burnout from masking and neglecting your special interests (autistic people need to have fun with our interests more than neurotypicals do from my experience, they get the same satisfaction from socializing instead).

Or maybe you have an anxiety disorder and you are pretty much anxious all day which also consumes a ton of energy.

You might have a lifestyle problem but tbh I am suspecting neurodivergence or a mental illness here due to having the same fatigue after work and also knowing ND people who experience this as well.

Is having a bad year in your new home a valid reason to move out? We went to our hometown for a bit and it was really relaxing, but when we came back to our house I had a panic attack some hours later and I am depressed again since then. Note that I got off my antidepressants due to side effects and I am only on an antipsychotic right now for OCD. I want to escape to a smaller more walkable city with more trees and less cars but that might just be a fruitless hope to escape something which might follow me to the new place as well

Not that I am aware of. I am seriously depressed so I just blocked the news, doomer etc comms here and never looked back. I am aware that this is cowardly behavior but I can't handle it anymore. I just hope that I won't drift into being a lib again over time

The trick is to play the formats before the 2014 set Duelist Alliance which upped the power creep to a never before seen degree for that era of the game. That way you can still have relatively complex decks with the archetypes and the usage of the Extra Deck with Synchro and Xyz monsters which is one of the good design decisions of the game imo, since it enables toolboxing in a way you won't see in MTG for example

 

What the fuck is wrong with me. I can watch something that doesn't speak to me whether it is good or not, but the moment I start to like like it I just stop it and get afraid of continuing with it. For example my backlog is full of games that I know I will like but I never play because I am afraid of not properly enjoying them or understanding them.

Is this shit behavior ADHD, autism, OCD or a combination of them all? Do you have this issue as well? Sorry for the rambling but I am high and in despair right now, I can't enjoy anything at all anymore (when I was a teen I didn't have this issue, it appeared after a particularly hard semester in uni)

It's some eugenics shit about her blue jeans (alluding to her blue eye genes)

Is it that good or is it just babby's first JRPG for westerners who can't into japanese storytelling?

 

And why is it Mahou Shoujo Beanis-Chan?

 

Feel free to speak about your favorites, recommend games to other users and anything else you can think of. My rationale for my favorites is the following (I am not a very good writer so bear with me):

Planescape Torment: Interesting setting which I feel is drug-fueled to an extent, great gritty atmosphere, the writing is very good and the narrative is extremely interesting and well done. Go blind and you won't regret it.

Terraria: The game has a lot of flaws (and I prefer the exploration focus before hardmode more than the boss rush), but I have played it a ton of times alone, or with my gf, or with friends so it is my comfort game and I can always relax when playing it. Also, he Thorium mod is a pretty good content mod that stays true to the spirit of the game.

FFXIV: Shadowbringers: It's the climax of the whole story of FFXIV, where almost all of the mysteries are resolved, the plotlines converge and the main antagonists are confronted and explored. I love the setting, the enemies and the lore of the First as a whole, and the story if full of emotion and more thematically rich than one would expect, with a part of the game being a direct parallel of the first world during climate change, and it involves positively if naively portrayed class struggle.

ZeroRanger: Besides the amazing aesthetic, soundtrack and the good gameplay (two of the bosses are some of my favorite of all time), the game blends the story with every aspect of the gameplay seamlessly and it perfectly executes the Buddhism theme in ways I cannot explain without spoiling you. It also has its fair share of emotional moments, and is the perfect mecha anime-like game imo. OFF: Fucked up surreal RPG maker game with a unique aesthetic and disturbing atmosphere and soundtrack. The story has many interpretations and it makes great use of the gaming medium in a meta way to make you feel things. It's probably the most artistic game I have ever played.

Trails in the Sky trilogy: I used the 3rd for my 3x3 since it is the one that impacted me the most emotionally due to the amazing character writing and the emotional journey of the protagonist, but the whole trilogy is the peak of JRPGs for me, with a very fun combat system, amazing music, characters and an interesting setting with great worldbuilding. Some dislike it due to being slower plot-wise than games like Final Fantasy, but that just gives the characters and the setting time to be fleshed out, making you much more invested when shit actually goes down. The portrayal of the nationalist antagonists and the politics as a whole are lib, but in the face of everything else that makes the games good I can easily ignore it.

Hollow Knight: This is pretty much the perfect platformer in all aspects except the music which is very good but not exactly my style. The aesthetic, exploration and bosses are all amazing and I thoroughly enjoyed my time with it.

Katamari Damacy: Has a very unique style of gameplay and humor which accompanied with the great Shibuya-kei soundtrack makes for a great stress reliever game. The final level is something to behold as well (I won't spoil you).

These games have become part of me (sorry for the cheesiness), and if you haven't played them you are doing yourself a disservice.

 

I substituted brown lentils for red lentils because we like them more and it was great. Curries and salsas + rice/pasta are peak food wholesome

 

I have the following symptoms:

  • Hair thinning on the top of my head
  • Feeling more tired than usual
  • Going to the toilet more often
  • Feeling colder compared to my gf despite being fatter
  • Dry skin

Could these be related to the change in my diet? If so I will go for a blood test, which vitamins would you recommend me to check? (I will obviously take them as supplements if needed)

Other changes in my life in the last year were finding a job and starting Zoloft.
