    I’m aware that it makes people cringe, but it’s so true that I’ve never been more happy; more bottoms than a top could ever ask for… Enough to over come the negativety from all the judgemental or bitter queens.

        Not more stoked than I; I’ve never had a busier social life and my asocially autistic ass is still surprised by it each time I get another invite.

    I made a shit tonne of brownies and ive had 2 cups of sugar in one day alongside 5 cups of coffee. WHAT A DAY TO BE ALIVE

    PS. Folks add pomegranate molasses to your pantry and your brownies. One of my favourite ingredients to give a dish complex depth in flavour, works with sweet and savory.

    Right this very second, my chicken preening herself next to me, occasionally pausing to make sure I see her preening herself so that I continue to sweetly praise her

    Love my kids, love my wife. Feel useful at work. Getting rdy for the final stretch of my undergrad. Life is a grind atm and I don’t have a lot of free time, but I wouldn’t swap it for anything else.

      I’m in the same boat, I feel like I’ve never been busier or more stressed at times, but it all feels so worth it for all the good things going on simultaneously

    I was able to revive my old PlayStation 2 thanks to Hacks and Homebrew and I’m replaying several games from my childhood apart from playing several others that I couldn’t at the time, and I’m having a wonderful time.

      I’m interested in knowing the titles you’re playing, if you care to list them.

        Oh the list of all the games is veeeeery looooong, like 70 games, but my current favorite that I couldn’t play in the day are:

        • Psychonauts
        • Zone of The Enders
        • Yakuza
        • The Simpsons Hit & Run
        • Downhill Domination (this game is Rad as hell!!)

        While some that I’m replaying because they are really REALLY good are:

        • Devil May Cry 3
        • Soul Calibur 3
        • Lego Batman
        • Sonic Megacollection plus

      Hell ya, got deep into the wii / wii u homebrew stuff for a while. I completely missed the PS2 and really that whole generation of gaming growing up. What are you playing?

    My family. I feel really good that I can trust and rely on my parents, that I can talk to my brother, that I have my grandma close and still healthy. It’s a privilege to be related to these people, to be honest.

      Can’t choose who you’re related to, so ya, it is a great privilege when you’re surrounded by good people and you have that network of folks you love and can rely on

    I’m really struggling but actually doing extremely well, all things considered. We’ve had a hostile takeover so even if I keep my job, it really feels like it’s going to shit. My garage was broken into and my bikes nicked or damaged - that really sucks bug moreso because is my main hobby, exercise and coping mechanism :(

    I’m hoping I can order a new mountain bike with a gearbox, so that’ll be really exciting - but it’s ages away at best.

    The reality is my family love me and I’m successful, so in real terms, things are good - but I really need to work on my imposter syndrome and inner accuser!

      That does sound stressful, and I’d be pissed if anyone fucked with my garage, that is a sacred space! Sounds like you’ve got your priorities in order though, keep on rockin!

    I don’t wanna reveal too much personal info but things have been going so well for me for a while now! So I’d say this current one 😃 I’d say the past two years have been the happiest ones of my entire life

    Playing X4, despite the crashes.

    But to be really honest, giving drawing lessons to 9-11yo kids. Something I never considered doing in my life, but damn does it make me feel good, though the kids’ progress (or lack thereof) often leaves me wondering if I’m actually being any good

        X4 is a very complex game. You start as a relative nobody in space, but can earn money to create big mining and trading fleets to get more money while you’re busy with other stuff, finally using said money to buy military fleets.

        It’s full of eurojank, it’s a huge time sink (I’m a bit over 100h now), but it may be the kind of thing that tickles your neurons just right.

      That sounds like rewarding work. I feel like even if they’re not progressing that fast, just having a positive role model in their life is probably really meaningful
