I was annoyed at first by all the Linux content, but honeslty I've kinda grown to like it. It feels strangely wholesome somehow.

Depends on what part of the state your in. Some areas can be quite progressive and others full to the brim with Trump flags. Just depends.

The writing and dialog choices can be really funny at times, but yes the backdrop of the game is very bleak and cold. I had to wait till I was in a good place before I tried it.

Caffeine and suger.

Oh god that Lion King game. That wildebeest sequence was the first time I experienced tunnel vison. What the godamned fuck Disney?

Holy shit you saw The Thing as a kid!? That's hardcore. I got nightmares when I watched it as an adult.

This was gonna be my answer. Watched it as a kid when my parents weren't around. Finally got up the courage watch it as an adult. Yep, holds up really well.

I'm playing Disco Elysium. It's made me laugh more than I thought it would for a bleak looking detective game.

I was an active, functional, alcoholic for many, many years. I stopped drinking for good seven years ago, haven't touched a drop since. There has been a lot of good advice here, however I wanted to offer my (possibly unconventional) two cents.

One of the things that got my attention during my drunk years was being confronted with how much money I was spending on alcohol. That was eye opening and really, my first dim lightbulb moment of 'oh shit' I might have a problem. Maybe showing her how much money she is throwing away each month on hooch?

Second was the realization that all my hobbies revolved around alcohol in some way. Getting involved in some new fresh things that didn't inherently involve alcohol was a big step. Maybe you both could plan alcohol free activities during the hours she normally drinks the worst? Go for a walk in the park, hunt some Pokemon? Get her out of the house and somewhere poeple aren't drinking. Even if it means an emergency 11pm trip to Target for candy.

Third, I would highly recommend therapy. I was drinking to fill a hole in my life alcohol was never going to fill. Once I was on the correct medication, I realized I was just using alcohol as a crutch for my mental illness.

My last advice which I hesitate to give, but which worked for me, is to switch addictions to something a little less damaging. I'm much happier being a evening stoner than an evening drinker. Maybe she would like vaping, or mircodosing on shrooms for a mood elevation?

Again all of these ideas involve her wanting to change, but if some part of her does want to change, than this will help. Also DO NOT KEEP ALCOHOL IN THE HOUSE. Nothing. Not a drop. Throw out the vanilla extract and mouthwash if you have to.

Good Luck Buddy!

Checking in, am also women.

I feel the same way. In fact I haven't painted anything in months. I do acrylic realism, painting on canvas board. One of my artist friends was showing me images she made using AI and I was blown away and deeply saddened. This was good art, all at the click of a button. Why would poeple pay me money for art, when they can get it for free? Just spend three bucks to print it at Walmart.

I always kinda assumed he probably went back to live with some family members. I don't think the Enterprise is gonna let a kid just live alone in his own apartment.

Best thing: working with very talented and famous, bands, authors and comedians.

Worst thing: the hours being so brutal I'm not awake enough to enjoy any of it.

I'm playing Fea Farm so, farm, fish and hang out with my friends all day. Plus I have cute little fairy wings in that game. I'm set for life.

I like it okay. Kinda wish I'd have waited till it was on sale. The NPCs are bland but I like running around and collecting ramdom stuff I need to progress.

I picked up Fae Farm. I usually don't buy new games but I really needed a comfort game. It's cute and relatively mindless.

I read it. I read the whole damn book. I kept waiting for something to happen. Nothing really did. 1/10

Starlink. Went from effectively no internet to fantastic internet. It's life changing not having to drive into town to use my banking app and send emails. I feel like I'm finally living in 2023!

Oh jeez you weren't kidding. Poeple are acting like the government just scheduled a nuclear Holocaust for Wednesday.
