Man... I'm feeling better every day about leaving Reddit, and most other social media, for that matter. What the fuck is wrong with people.

One monitor for moodboard, another for materials, tablet monitor for working.

It's honestly a neverending stream of new stories. There's new, quality mods nearly every day.

Not yet! Waiting on a friend, we're doing an all-barbarians playthrough, so we were thinking halflings. It'll probably get very messy.

Baldur's Gate 3, four playthroughs back to back, two of em multiplayer. I still play it every now and then when I want to continue my honor run.

Besides that, Rimworld. Nearly 4k hours.

Bittersweet! I learnt a lot about coffee, and since my primary way of showing I care for people is giving them service, I have a new way to give it. Most people like coffee, and I know for a fact I make a good espresso. I just can't drink it as often as I once did.

Not anymore, due to my GAD and insomnia. Long story short, I was compensating how tired I was with how tense I would get from coffee. My psych told me to stop taking so much caffeine and it's helped a lot to curb my anxiety.

I miss it though. Used to brew a fresh cup in the morning, noon, and afternoon. Freshly ground every time. It legitimately ruined every espresso shop in town for me. Burnt, bitter, or underbrewed. Only good coffee shop in town is a turkish one.

Solo es mi experiencia personal, pero creo que tendras que asegurarte muy bien al buscar psicologos que traten TDAH en paises tercermundistas. Soy de uno, y he estado como pelota de tennis de un psicologo/psiquiatra a otro. Un psiquiatra que vi incluso no creia que el TDAH existiese y atribuia mis sintomas a fallas personales. Muy decorado su CV y todo, no esperaba eso.

Digo esto nada mas porque avances medicos tienden a tardar un poco en llegar aca. Tal vez podrias tener mas suerte con psicologos/psiquiatras jovenes, podrian estar mas actualizados.

Buena suerte, por cierto!

Oh yeah. Music is one of em. Never learnt how to read sheets or much of anything about music theory. I mean, I only just learnt how time signatures work. I play the guitar sort of okay, and have a decent ear. But everything I've learnt has been by feel, and I really want to properly learn theory. I want to know how the circle of fifths works, how polyrythms work, etc. like, I have a feeling of how they work but I couldn't really talk about it at length and I'd have a hard time figuring out why a section of a song sounded interesting. I dropped that desire some years ago, but with every new artist I discover I'm trying to break down how the music works in my head and often come up short.

Carpentry is another. Ever since I started playing guitar I wanted to build my own guitar from scratch. Then I took some industrial design classes in college and it cemented my interest in it. During lockdown I bought some tools but got distracted with other fleeting interests. Once I have enough space for a workshop, I'll get on that.

Lastly, storywriting. Whatever I write, it feels like it'd be at home in a technical manual. Regardless of what language I write in, it feels stilted and sterile. I've been working on this one lately though. I'm DM'ing a campaign with a ton of homebrew and wrote and designed a 70 pages long handbook for my players. The ones that took the time to read it really liked the flavour and worldbuilding I did, so, progress.

Edit: forgot one, mead, and spirits in general. Made one batch years ago, with apple juice, cinnamon, and cloves. It was good after about 2 years. I still have a 2L bottle in my closet. At this point I think I should just bin it. For a time a friend and I were talking about making large batches of it and selling it on the DL as party drinks. Pineapple mead, mango mead, etc.

Comment less, but I've enjoyed it much more. There's so much shit slinging in reddit. Every comment thread eventually devolves into one guy with an out of pocket comment or hot take, or miscommunication even, and then everyone dunking on the guy. So much negativity.

Folks are generally nice here.

Roasted garlic and/or roasted bone marrow. Soups, meat rubs, compound butters, whatever. The depth of flavours those two things add by themselves is amazing.

Couple years ago I won a scholarship to a college in Germany, for the carreer I had always wanted to work in but couldn't practice it, as it just doesn't exist in local colleges. I was born and bred in the third world, and still live here; I thought my luck was finally turning around. I'd be able to maybe have a better future, doing what I really wanted instead of just what I was good at.

One night as I was overthinking ish, I decided to look for everything relevant about the college. It was a scam college. No certifications, and the owners had recently been in hot waters due to money laundering. I had everything ready to hop on a plane.

Horror, last year I read Between two fires, cant remember the author. Felt like I was reading dark souls, but with more of a religious horror vibe. It was okay. Gave me ideas for my dnd campaigns.

EpicLoot might also be good, if OP's kids are keen to grind components.

Not FPS, but Valheim is plenty fun. Also, zomboid, but that ones a bit more violent

Well, shit. Didn't know that. Thanks for the info. I was already using DP but now I know I'll keep using it.

Would you mind expanding on the open source realisations thing? I'm trying to get more into open source software but I'm a little too tech illiterate to understand the nuances, including what you just mentioned.

Bacta Tanks. Maybe a few days in one would fix my back.

Replaying Dragon's Dogma in prep for the new game. I had forgotten how much grind the game requires, honestly. I've been Mage 1-11, MArcher 6, Ranger 6, Sorc 30-40 or so, and my magic score is still low as hell. I'm purposefully delaying meeting the duke because I really want to give MArcher a try in the post-game, and it feels like I've already played for a long time but sheesh, levelling up is slow. I had never focused on building for stats, honestly. I know now though that most of your damage comes from your gear, so I might quit levelling Sorc when I reach 450 magic instead of the 600.

Hope it's a little faster in the second entry.

Apart from that, trying the Nordic Souls modpack for Skyrim, and Helldivers 2.

1. E-reader. I'm not reading 4-5 books a month as I did before but it reignited my desire to read after losing it in college (plus: it's way cheaper).
2. Chemex. I was used to burnt gas station coffee and it gave me a new hobby.
3. First DSLR as well. Helped me think about composition more in my paintings, as well as contrast. I haven't touched a camera in years though. Little opportunity or desire.
