Was hoping this was an Aiel meme

Thinking about buying a refurbished PS5 so I can finally play Baldurs Gate 3, but now I’m considering Metaphor Refantazio first.

Continuing my month of playing Slay the Spire as Ironclad. So far I have two A20 heart kills, but I’m going to have to push to beat my previous best Ironclad month (with 4 wins). And I hope to be able to win with a build other than corruption/snecko. We shall see!

Never made the connection between Mr. Beast's smile and "the expression"

It adds a level of tragedy to ole Jimmy Donaldson

Iron domme

Lords of Chaos, WoT book six or the a name of a special pig task force?

Eh I enjoy playing the game at its highest level but I’m not a high level player. In a month of playing (I typically play a little every morning over coffee) I’ll have maybe 2-3 winning runs.

Best of luck in climbing the spire! Clad is my favorite character.

Yeah I’m super pumped about this game. Everything looks like a win and I’m excited to try the new Zelda mechanics of game breaking puzzle solving with older era dungeons

Wtf does dance dance revolution have to do with any of this?

I've started Elden Ring, playing on my xbox one series s and it is slowww as shit and ugly to boot. I bounced off it hard at launch but am going to do my damndedest to play a Fromsoft game to completion to see what it is all about.

Also Slay the Spire. September is a month of A20 Defect runs for me. So far only 2 heart kills this month and am getting slapped in act one most runs. tough going!

That’s all of us

The biggest element of fantasy in Stranger Things for modern audiences is not spider monsters or psychic powers but children having social lives unmanaged and unmediated by adults.

Holler!

We’ve bailed on camping trips too with young ones. Camping with kids is great but the prep, packing, and then putting all the gear back afterwards adds hours of work on top of childcare. We’ve had the most successful trips when camping with another family. That way the kids can entertain each other and the parents can chill.

Slay the Spire- All of 2024 I've been playing solely with one character for a month and seeing how many A20 heartkills I get. I'm not a high level player or anything, I average like 1.5 wins per month, but I enjoy playing the game with some limits/structure.

Anyways I wrapped up June with a Defect win, with a deck that did most of its damage with dark orbs, which is unusual. Looking forward to July and good ole Ironclad.

Other things, I've been wanting to play Baldur's Gate 3 so bad I am considering buying a PS5. Excited about the library of games I've never played about to open up.

Thanks for sharing this-- the linked post articulates things I have been struggling with for a long time but a. have been afraid to share with anyone and b. gives me a framework for understanding the pattern of occurence of these intrusive thoughts.

It's been mostly diet.. I've found that weighing myself in the morning and tracking calories consumed is enough of a leverage point to changing my behavior that leads to weight loss. Luckily I work at a place with a big campus that I have to walk around a lot, so I get a fair amount of steps in per day.

Appreciate reading everyone's comments-- it's nice to find solidarity in our communal efforts.

Last week my evening meditations dropped off for a few nights but I sat on Sunday night and want to keep that going. I normally try to sit zazen but lately have been using a guided meditation of sitting meditation that is helping me get "butt-on-cushion" time and I hope eventually I can work my way back up to just sitting.

Been on a diet since Jan. 2 and today my weigh in was 4 lbs lighter since then!

Definitely backslid on smoking weed but I didn't last night, even though I had already made my mind up that I would!

I've been working on weightloss the past week. Been using Noom, but only as a calorie counter and weight tracking. I find the simple routine of weighing myself daily and tracking calories is mostly enough to eliminate poor eating habits. And reducing environmental triggers (like I can't have a bag of chips sitting on the counter and be looking at it all day-- it has to go out of sight)

I'm in the same boat! Before the holidays I had managed to go from smoking everyday to once a week... but then since the new year I was back to my old ways. Last night was the first night without it in a week, and I want to keep that up. I too want to re-define my relationship with mj. My relationship is a cognitive distortion that whatever I'm doing, it would be better/cooler/more interesting if I was stoned. Trying to undo all of my associations with the drug and establishing a sober baseline.
