It's rough guys. I'm sweating constantly. My blood pressure swings high/low wildly. Anger on a hair trigger, and when it's not, Anxiety is at a 10. Oh, and boredom is painful again.

It's my fault for smoking so much concentrate, but damn is it hard.

I'm gonna try to get myself some treatment for ADHD and see if I can stay off it this time.

Look, what I'm saying is similar to turning your phone into a Steam Deck. Either way, you can always cast the screen to a TV and connect a Bluetooth keyboard.

I usually go through phases — I stop playing, months go by — until one afternoon I get hooked and bam — I'm completely lost in it until I've had my fill.

But it's great that you've gotten over it. I had an experience with a 'very social' online game and realized it was actually a hook empty of any real content. That's when I promised myself I'd never get dragged into that kind of mess again. For about three years now, I haven't even had any social media. I don't watch YT, I don't follow profiles or channels, I don't watch TV, I don't even read the news. I'm trying to deprogram my thoughts.

I like chess, too.

I remember when computers were punch card programs.

The first pong...

RadioShack computers

Atari

SNES

Nintendo 64. Changed everything with object mapping. Arrows remained in body area when shot. Turok.

I'm a pc gamer primarily, but until I can fix my laptop (have all the parts but not the executive function), I'll be gaming on my steam deck. I have found in the past year since getting into mush cult that my time spent gaming has gone from an average of 20+ hours/week to maybe an hour every other week. Used to have a hardcore gaming addiction and now it's just gone.

Oh i understand completely on the tech side of your post, I am a computer. I should have been a sysadmin or network admin. I've got shit running on my home network that would blow your mind.
As for the second half of your post, we are very very similar. I have also rejected the programming. When I am able, I intend to reject modern western society.

Haha, stop fueling my curiosity. I get super nerdy about this stuff.

Modern Western society is imploding from within. I actually wanted to become stateless, but it's not that easy. I'd have to get citizenship in one of the few countries where it's possible to renounce it, and even then, the president has to sign off on the rejection (while I still hold the other one). Way too much hassle, but maybe one day I'll get bold enough to try it.

Damn, I love so many things, I'd dedicate myself to so many projects — and as the years go by, I'm realizing a day only has 36 hours.

Alright, I'm gonna go make some cakes — I'm running three days late.

Hugs

Cooking is sorcery. It is an innate skill that you feel your way through.

Baking is wizardry. Exact measurements that have been scientifically formulated.

hidingbush has been beating the stank off his booty bush.

My farts sound like a bullfrog lately. I figure on account of the Indian food from the local curry spot. I always get a tickle when I scare the cat with a boisterous fart. Made one of my cats pop a wheelie when I surprised it with a toilet megaphone fart earlier. It hurts to laugh but the pain is well worth the effort!

I'm taking note that Beef digs a beefy fart joke.

caring for my 91 year old dad and we've had some down days and communication can be tough. but this morning in the kitchen I farted while looking at him and he said bless you and then farted himself and had a good laugh. and we had a great day after that.

farts and blessings to you all
