Love pbs, whatcha got going?

[โ€“] Melatonin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I have no idea. Something called "Milo"?

It's just nice to be able to put something on that's innocent and childlike. There isn't much like that around.

It's gentle.

My cat has been extra cuddly lately. Earlier she slept in my arms using one as a pillow.

I'm really struggling but actually doing extremely well, all things considered. We've had a hostile takeover so even if I keep my job, it really feels like it's going to shit. My garage was broken into and my bikes nicked or damaged - that really sucks bug moreso because is my main hobby, exercise and coping mechanism :(

I'm hoping I can order a new mountain bike with a gearbox, so that'll be really exciting - but it's ages away at best.

The reality is my family love me and I'm successful, so in real terms, things are good - but I really need to work on my imposter syndrome and inner accuser!

That does sound stressful, and I'd be pissed if anyone fucked with my garage, that is a sacred space! Sounds like you've got your priorities in order though, keep on rockin!

If everything goes according to plan, I'm moving to Europe.

Which country do you plan to move to?

I've not played it, but I've seen it mentioned often enough to think I should probably give it a whirl

Right now, I'm working a ton (72 hours per week) and my wife is working and going back to school, but every Tuesday is an entire day together. We just started playing Baldur's Gate 3 for the first time, and we look forward to it all damn week lol. We started like a month ago, but we're still only just now wrapping up the goblin camp. We both were already really familiar with 5e DnD, so a lot of the mechanics feel pretty intuitive to us. I have gripes with the camera (PS5 version) but overall it's a fantastic experience.

Before picking this up on sale, we were passing the controller back and forth through Astro bot. Also amazing! We rolled credits, and I'll probably aim for the platinum trophy at some point without her. There's truly not much left before we snag that, so she's not missing out.

That's really sweet that you guys get that time together and share that common experience. I played through BG3 over the past year with a group of buddies and we had some great laughs fucking around, truly such a fun time.

My kids. Not much else though.

[โ€“] Flamangoman@leminal.space 19 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Gotta love the kids, I made this post after getting my youngest to bed and having my heart feel so full of love

That all of my recent health issues the last 3 months were temporary.

[โ€“] Flamangoman@leminal.space 14 points 1 day ago

GOOD. You need your health, and I find it's the uncertainty that can be so stressful

Right this very second, my chicken preening herself next to me, occasionally pausing to make sure I see her preening herself so that I continue to sweetly praise her

Good chicken! What a pretty and fancy chicken...

[โ€“] Flamangoman@leminal.space 11 points 1 day ago

That is adorable

[โ€“] eldavi@lemmy.ml 23 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (6 children)

I'm aware that it makes people cringe, but it's so true that I've never been more happy; more bottoms than a top could ever ask for... Enough to over come the negativety from all the judgemental or bitter queens.

I made a shit tonne of brownies and ive had 2 cups of sugar in one day alongside 5 cups of coffee. WHAT A DAY TO BE ALIVE

PS. Folks add pomegranate molasses to your pantry and your brownies. One of my favourite ingredients to give a dish complex depth in flavour, works with sweet and savory.

I was able to revive my old PlayStation 2 thanks to Hacks and Homebrew and I'm replaying several games from my childhood apart from playing several others that I couldn't at the time, and I'm having a wonderful time.

[โ€“] eezeebee@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm interested in knowing the titles you're playing, if you care to list them.

[โ€“] NONE_dc@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago (6 children)

Oh the list of all the games is veeeeery looooong, like 70 games, but my current favorite that I couldn't play in the day are:

  • Psychonauts
  • Zone of The Enders
  • Yakuza
  • The Simpsons Hit & Run
  • Downhill Domination (this game is Rad as hell!!)

While some that I'm replaying because they are really REALLY good are:

  • Devil May Cry 3
  • Soul Calibur 3
  • Lego Batman
  • Sonic Megacollection plus

Love my kids, love my wife. Feel useful at work. Getting rdy for the final stretch of my undergrad. Life is a grind atm and I don't have a lot of free time, but I wouldn't swap it for anything else.

Playing X4, despite the crashes.

But to be really honest, giving drawing lessons to 9-11yo kids. Something I never considered doing in my life, but damn does it make me feel good, though the kids' progress (or lack thereof) often leaves me wondering if I'm actually being any good

That sounds like rewarding work. I feel like even if they're not progressing that fast, just having a positive role model in their life is probably really meaningful

Its summer here and I hate summers!! But I feel so greateful and happy that I am in a safe and comfortable enough environment to be able to be naked whenever it is too hot.

This is such a privilege considering I am a girl.

As a never nude I commend your bravery and I hope you enjoy it to the full extent of the law

[โ€“] gon@lemm.ee 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

My family. I feel really good that I can trust and rely on my parents, that I can talk to my brother, that I have my grandma close and still healthy. It's a privilege to be related to these people, to be honest.

I don't wanna reveal too much personal info but things have been going so well for me for a while now! So I'd say this current one ๐Ÿ˜ƒ I'd say the past two years have been the happiest ones of my entire life
