In ear earbuds. I blimmin’ hate them but my Audio Technica over ears are too bulky for the gym.

Bit off topic, though if anyone could recommend cheap but decent wireless headphones, for the gym, that are not in ear I would appreciate it a lot (I’m in the UK).

I am coincidentally also 35, and had similar sentiments following my most “recent” divorce (4 years ago!)

Your comment is bang on mate. The second to last paragraph really hits home but it’s something that I really needed to acknowledge and accept if I ever wanted to move on.

Went to a gig recently, was in a mosh pit for the first time in over a decade, and a fucking LOVED every bit of it, bruising and all.
You just gotta find your vibe, and it takes effort, but once you do others will see your vibe and want to jiggle with you (I’m not great at analogies hopefully this makes sense).

How can our age be real if our eyes aren’t real?

Medicine would be drugs. Unless you mean in the broad sense of the term.

For me I require a reason behind my happiness, maybe it’s my autism I’m not sure, however without a foundation leading to smiles the smiles are lackluster. Just forcing myself to go outside, sit in a nice park, etc. helps place me into opportunities where I can notice things that make me happy bit by bit.
These little things add up. Being at a small time gig, of a band I haven’t heard of, being around people who like the same things helps a lot.

I’ve wanted to see my favourite musicians, and I managed to through perseverance (Corey Taylor is an amazing human being, his outlook definitely rubbed off on me). I wanted to go to Europe, and everyone I knew kept saying “one day”, so I decided that “one day” for me was going to be the next. Packed some things and went that weekend to Amsterdam, by myself, and met 3-4 people and we all hung out together for four days and we had such a connection we enjoyed ourselves so much.

If you have an inkling of places or things that would make you happy, perhaps try forcing the first step into it. It’s easier said than done, though good luck man.

I just call everyone “man” and “dude”, irrespective of gender/sex ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I went to Idaho for a while.

Oh same. That intro is what drew me in. Reminds me of when I used to sketch all sorts of demonic beings for fun. But not just the appearance, for me the entire cut scene elements impressed me. From the design to the voice acting and general demeanor of the characters. The emotional depth within each role is rather well accomplished, I would say.

I’m not very good at Diablo 4, I mainly picked it up thinking it would have a sort of MMO thing and expected something not too different to a grindy time waster.
I mainly play other genres, and the last Diablo game I played was D2, when I was a teenager (mid-30s now), which I didn’t even get far into.

I just started Act 6, which I believe is the last, most recently. Where I skip cut scenes in other games I’m really enjoying the story of this, and so I’m finding myself watching them all the way through. The voice acting is great and I’ve never actually felt properly bored.

I’m not bad, but not what I see as the average player of this sort of thing (so not very good either), yet I enjoy it a fair bit! Veeeery dark story, and the cut scenes are incredibly gory sometimes. I think that’s really cool from an artistic standpoint, I kind of get why people like deep horror films so much: there’s just so much cool stuff artists can do with dark themes, and the artists in Diablo 4 really go ham with this! Lilith has like a freakin’ head of horn clusters, like they said “fuck two horns, just keep adding them!” But they made her character REALLY cool looking by doing so. I love it.

So much p…roductivity communities… Keeping many of us busy…

I’m just waiting for someone to ask how to tie their laces.

I say we should dress up in nice suits, and go door to door asking if people have heard of our great community haven, thanks to the Great Lemming who we keep forgetting the name of. Ramen.

I’M HERE TO KICK ASS AND CHEW BUBBLEGUM, AND I’M ALL OUTTA GUM!

I even went to Diggnation Live, here in London.

Moose are prey to Orca Whales.

Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice made me gain a deeper understanding of what my BFF went through, almost 13 years ago, when she took her life after battling with psychosis and not able to fight her delusions.

It’s an incredibly deep storyline, and they did an amazing job at captivating the essence of how some minds work. I cried when I played, and cried when I completed it, yet they were beautiful tears all the same. Very well made game, and I actually came to this post to give it a mention as well.
