Fun fact

The store was built ON a swamp

My parents tell me out of the blue that they're getting divorced right before their 30th year together. I'm an adult so I don't know why this is bothering me so much, but I spent a good while alone thinking. Now I just feel depressed.

i can no longer imagine a world with slower internet than this.

the fact there's some places in the uk that don't get ATLEAST 100mb/s connections is very, very sad in this day and age.

Openreach are notoriously known for being shit, several clients of my last company had their internet delayed because the lazy cunt installers would cancel the install date saying "no access to site" without ever actually showing up.

Consider FFXIV
Or just put plainly, Final Fantasy 14
It's pretty decent

420weedscopes · Wed Nov 15, 2017 2:37 pm

i will suggest elder scrolls online
it is no longer terrible and you only have to buy it once (guild wars' payment model)
it's also extremely grindy if you want to get into things like veteran trials and arenas
i spent two weeks grinding out pieces of Sanctuary gear to join a vet trials group and they fuckin ditched me the cunts

oh and there's also the mage's guild, vampirisim/lycanthropy, fighter's guild, undaunted pledges, a 3-sided alliance war, a main campaign that's taken me months to get halfway through full completion, several DLCs with wonderful abilities and storylines (including the clockwork city!), an expansion into ye olde morrowind, and the subscription service gives you an infinite storage craft bag

and a thread on /vg/

I somehow got roped into three days straight of board games

Mostly Pandemic Legacy 2 and Twilight Imperium 4

It's hard to believe I managed to find friends more obsessive than I am. But it's awesome.

Of course, they were open again the same day, though the damage was less and they were closed for near 8 hours to clean

DrPillzRedux · Tue Nov 21, 2017 10:50 am

I've been trying to hold myself together but I'm starting to break.

I already posted about my parents divorce. My mom moved somewhere on her own and no one can get in touch with her. My dads cancer was far worse than his shit doctor thought. He will live 5 more years if he's lucky. He had me come and read his will, then made a comment about suicide. Plus my stomach I can't afford surgery for is keeping me up at night and making me miserable overall. My coworkers and friends have noticed something is wrong because I'm usually a goofball, but now I'm pretty quiet. I've only spoken about it here and with my best friend. He cheers me up and makes me feel normal when we're hanging out. When we're not though, especially when I'm alone, it's awful. My mind is all cloudy and I just want to cry. I don't feel suicidal, just hopeless and dead inside.

I'm sure someone will call this an attention post but I just need to vent. I try to keep my personal life private which is why I've only told one person I actually know about it, but it's hard. I try to fake being normal and even my boss can see something is wrong.

I guess I need to

Spoiler:

Sorry for posting literal shit here.

XSI · Post by **XSI** » Tue Nov 21, 2017 5:30 pm #359835

It helps to talk to people, even if it's online, on a forum
Venting helps too

It won't solve the causes, but it does help cope with things a little.
Do let us know if we can help out. I'm certain someone at least will do what's possible

this is where having aphantasia comes in handy.

never been able to dream under normal circumstances, the only time i can dream is when my malaria acts up real bad and my head is hot enough to cook an egg, and even they aren't that vivid.

before i knew i had aphantasia i always thought that counting sheep to go to sleep was a stupid idea because well to me it was just counting, there was never any sheep jumping around.

Wait what

I've tried lucid dreaming but I've never gotten any imagery. Though, my dreams appear to be more like just "ideas" as opposed to actual imagery. I'm also only able to remember the dream I had immediately before waking up.

Also I've noticed something similar as well when I'm sick with something: sickness in general seems to cause me to have some weird dreams and strange thoughts before I sleep.

Strange mind.

I've thrown up 3 times today despite only eating a sandwich. My throat is fucked and the top of my stomach feels weird, presumably the fucked valve.

Guess I really do need to get surgery soon.

DrPillzRedux · Mon Nov 27, 2017 10:46 am

It's a large hiatal hernia. I was worried I would be broke due to surgery. Then I found out California will cover all of my expenses because I'm a registered Native American.

Thank you based ancestor in the mid 1800's for marrying and banging a Native.
