Making friends as an adult is still hard even without depression. It is easier to be in touch with existing friends when not depressed though.

Traffic lights tend to leave me with feelings of frustration if anything.

I don't have existential dread in the mornings just the usual "joy" of having to go to work.

It's so simple but genuinely words to live by.

Thirding this. Excellent book. Jazz hands!

Thanks for this recommendation, 1440 seems like the exact thing I've been looking for.

I love my bone conduction headphones. I love listening to podcasts and books whilst communicating. Agree with them getting drowned out by traffic sometimes though I guess that's sort of the idea.

We've done these as well our house is concrete so it's really difficult to drill holes into so the rails make life much easier for rearranging art work.

Of course he's a silent protagonist in 1 isn't he! I'd totally forgotten that.

I love the Dead space remake. I've nearly finished it. It's how I remember the original looking and how I hoped it would play. I love that they added the full zero g movement from the later games and they fixed the asteroid shooting section. It's actually fun now! The regenerator is still as much of a bastard as I remember too. It's a brilliant remake of one of my favourite games.

That makes a lot more sense. Thank you.

I'm not sure I'm getting the big picture on this, they are on strike because the government wants to train more doctors? Surely that's a good thing?

Never going to happen without time travel but I'd love to have seen Queen with Freddie live. That man had some serious stage presence.

When I built my new pc my wife inherited my old one which fortunately is still good enough to play most games (not well but they run), so we now have a two desk set up for co-op games, it's great.

This is great. I think every kid wants a digger.

Metal gear 3 is my favourite, it's got the best combination of gameplay and story of them all. Probably the best boss fights of the series, so many good ones, I love the end and the fear. Fighting Volgen was great as a fight and he was a brilliant villain. The Boss was possibly the best bit, really escalated the game. 2 and 4 are both great. 4 felt like a good close to the series, though it had far too many cutscenes, I think it was more of a movie than a game. 5 was the best gameplay in the series by far though the story was unfinished and Quiet was silly, "You'll feel bad when you learn why she's practically naked". Bullshit just admit you want a sexy lady in your game that's still allowed.

Thank you. It was difficult to start with but I got my head around it. My sugars are still disappointingly uncontrolled. I'm working with my doctors to increase my meds and get my sugars into a decent range.

I found out I was diabetic and had damage to my eyes. So I switched to a diabetic diet overnight and lost 12kg in a couple months. Kept it off too, gained a little back over Christmas (because Christmas is all about the food for me) but lost it by end of January again.

No sugar unless it's fruit, very controlled carbs portions and all wholemeal/ brown varieties. Some days no carbs only vegetables. I've not eaten potatoes since October. Snacks are nuts or fruit, deserts are yogurt and fruit with some dark chocolate every now and then to help with the sugar cravings. It's not easy but I really want to keep my feet and eyes.

It does a really good job of making you empathize with giant spiders. I can also recommend the audio book, very well done.

Doesn't quite fit the bill as there's a planet eventually but Children of Time by Tchaikovsky is excellent and half the book follows a generation ship. The other half follows a successive evolution of uplifted spiders. It's reasonably hard sci-fi not Martian levels of detail about the science but very well written and enjoyable. Could be worth a go for some inspiration.

Just the 1 for me. I've got a Simba memory foam cube pillow. It's expensive at £100 (ish) but easily the best thing I've ever slept on. Like sinking into a perfectly supportive cloud. They have an inner bag filled with loads of 1cm memory foam cubes and a good outer case so you don't feel individual cubes. Super comfy.

Highly recommend a long way to a small angry planet by Becky Chambers. Sci-fi book, lovely atmosphere, very cosy. Highly recommend the whole series.
