Not happy, just relieved. The duck has been dining on human flesh all morning.

Always remember to return your shopping cart after using it to move the bodies.

The annoying part seems to be that every now and then life still manages to find a way to make me invested in and stressed over something.

Why, it was just yesterday when I… oh, come to think of it, that was nearly a decade ago. Huh.

If I recall correctly, a lot of the comics (at least early ones, I haven’t gotten very far) don’t have credit on them.

I suppose I still do it in some sense. If I have a lot of muscle tension built up or am otherwise starting to get a headache/migraine. I just lie down in bed, and focus on breathing until my body enters that sleep state where it completely relaxes and doesn’t respond to my commands. Like a nice nap, but without actually falling asleep (much faster, no grogginess). Or like sleep paralysis, but without the demons. ;D

I also tried meditation to focus on the subconscious stream of thoughts, which was extremely fascinating. But I had to stop after a week or so since I started to become aware of it even when not meditating, which felt like someone constantly whispering in my ears and it was quite maddening. I would still recommend giving it a try though. Becoming aware of some subconscious thought chains/loops, especially the negative ones, and learning to cut them short had a huge impact on my mental well-being.

Love forests! Apart from the mosquitoes…

My cat: “You are a heated bed for me to nap on. If you even think about getting up, I will murder you.”

Well that’s not creepy at all… purple eyes, the changing painting and clock…

I have dreams every single night, and remember at least one of them once I wake up. Always have. Only exceptions are when I’m extremely tired or when I drink chamomile tea before bed. Found out about the latter last summer, and it admittedly kind of freaked me out; not having/remembering dreams is just… weird.

One cool thing about remembering dreams you’ve had is that some stories might turn into storylines. For the past few years there has been a dream story going on in my sleep. Every now and then randomly there’s another dream that either continues or relates to that story. It’s pretty fun, like following an interesting TV show and waiting for new episodes!

2h after sunset, eh? In summer when the sun doesn’t set, all my negative thoughts shall be valid! Woooo! (that’s actually some good advice you’re giving though)

In recent years I’ve run some experiments on what works for me and what doesn’t. ‘6h for work - 9h for rest - 9h for whatever’ division seems to work wonders for me, with one day off in a week.

Trying to sleep less than 9h just messes everything up, unless I divide the sleep into two sections. Funny how that works. Extra 1.5h of being awake, especially during the productive night hours, was quite nice. But I hate waking up, and doing that twice a day is just simply too much!

I suppose I’m on the opposite side of visualization spectrum. I can easily conjure images so realistic and detailed that they pass for the real thing. I can also add texture, smells, temperature, sound, etc. but I can’t fake weight or pure white color which for some reason always turns out somewhat grey or beige.

I don’t think much in words however, most of my thoughts are in images and sensations. Which does make verbal communication somewhat challenging at times.

Sometimes the realism of visualization worries me somewhat. Many mental processes have a tendency to get a bit out of conscious control, and it would be quite troublesome to no longer know which of the things I see are actually real. On the plus side, I can visualize paintings on my walls, without actually buying any! I like having no decorations in my home, which seems to confuse people. Perhaps I should start comparing it to a blank canvas…

It’s sad that we often outlive our pets… but I suppose it’s still better like this than other way around.

Sama. Eipä sitä erityisesti huvitakaan päivystää puhelinta koko päivää. Jos joku haluaa soittaa, niin sopikoon ajan etukäteen. Ärsyttää väki, joka olettaa että kaikki ovat vuorokauden ympäri välittömästi tavoitettavissa.

No idea who that is, but I’m still leaving an upvote just for the template and beating of kids. >:)

In the settings, among the other character customization things. You should know this unless… did you press randomize in character creation? D: Please tell me you’ve at least turned off motion blur…

I wish the amount of sunlight I get would regulate the growth of my hair too. I’d be bald for good!

That was pretty much me when I first decided to try installing Arch… at 2am.

It’s interesting to look at graphs of animal populations and how those vary. Increasing population, using too many resources, shortage, population plummets, environment recovers, more resources for less animals, population starts rising again…

I suppose it’s somewhat arrogant to think humans above that. Although, we could be.

This whole “mixed reality experience” thing has me curious: do any of you just add imaginary images to your surroundings in your mind? Just by visualizing?

For example, I have several paintings on my walls that aren’t real, but look to me as if they were. I switch them up depending on mood, or just turn them off. Or just basic stuff like having words and numbers floating in front of me as an aid when doing math or planning?

Something I just really like about this one is how she uses two ice spells without breaking the “you can only use each type of magic once” rule. Since the opponent technically does the second one. I suppose it also gets around the “defensive magic only” rule. Breaking the rules without breaking the rules, Eda must be proud!
