My wife and I do this for various holidays. “You bought me this new board game, what did I get you?” Is a common utterance at our Christmas

I can’t have too much salt because I have Menieres disease. It’s a degenerative inner ear problem which means too much salt makes me dizzy, more salt makes my inner ear swell, that leads to feeling like there’s something in my ear and vertigo.

I’m one of the “lucky” ones. I can control it with diet (at least so far) but, other people can’t. That means they live in constant fear of a vertigo attack or even what they call “drop attacks” which makes you feel like you’re pinned to the ground. Often there’s no warning before they hit.

It depends. Sometimes it hits hard and others I can just ignore it. My daughter and I do like to try to get songs stuck in each other’s heads though, so we’ll constantly quote lyrics to each other and try to pass them off as regular conversation

I’ve tried a few journaling games but can’t find the motivation to play them regularly. At one point I thought about setting up an Obsidian vault to randomly pick a setup so I could just open the app and essentially start writing but even that I lost motivation for. I think solo RPGs just may not be for me, y’know?

The only good answer I have is: I was forced to be independent. As soon as I turned 18, I had to pay rent to stay with my mom. Before that, I had to cook for the family and for as long as I was able to clean, I had chores around the house.

Even now, as a 40 something year old, I’m still learning to be independent and it’s often because I’m forced to. The thing I’ve learned recently is that there are people who will help me through tough times when I need it. It’s okay to lean on your support people to get you back on track because they know they can do the same when they need you. Like, I knew that conceptually but, I really learned it this past winter.

If I had any advice it’s: get out of your comfort zone from time to time. You may find some new comfortable places there.

Nice! I wish I could get into solo RP but have never been able to find a game that works for me that way.

I used to use OBS with a second screen for my IRL games. I could set it up to display art of NPCs or track initiative or whatever else. Now we use a TV screen with Foundry running.

Dropped my new car off at the body shop because my neighbor decided to hit it while trying to park. The rental car is tiny and smells like someone smoked in it. I’m telling myself “it’s only for 10 days” but I really hope they get done with it early.

Played board games with a friend last night and it seems like the guys at the board game store are warming up to us a little. I can potentially make new friends! It’s exciting. Too bad I only go there every other week or so

SPARTA!

Honestly, I’m a little surprised they’re not remaking this movie

My “office” window looks out onto the factory floor. Specifically, it looks directly at storage and a walking path passes directly in front of the window. So, since I’m next to a bathroom, I see people walking past and lots of forklift traffic.

It’s an inner ear problem called Menieres disease. There are dozens of us with it!

Idk what my super power is but my weakness is salt. Too much and I first lose my hearing followed by dizziness and vertigo.

Would a laptop with a touchscreen not work for you?

I made some Orange chicken, steamed broccoli and white rice.

All of it is low sodium (I have to eat low sodium for medical reasons) and the chicken was baked instead of fried to keep things from getting too unhealthy

Well, maybe we need to be the change we’d like to see in the community? Idk, I’m pretty lazy and busy so if I tried I’d probably give up after a few weeks

Pathfinder has communities here. It’s just a shame that they’re not more active

If they brought Elektra back, they can bring Foggy back.

I’ve heard that something like 67.3% of statistics are made up on the spot and 95.2% of people believe then whether they’re accurate or not - especially if there’s a decimal involved.
