I'm all for getting more people into Trigun, but just a heads up that it can get a bit dark and has some mature themes when it's not wacky or funny. Episode 3 of Trigun: Stampede took a lot of folks unaware, especially since the first two episodes were more light-hearted.
New hyper focus: Trigun. I watched the "retelling" Trigun: Stampede anime and it was awesome. It's reinvigorated my love of the IP and I'm re-reading the manga for the first time in like 20 years. My poor emotions.
My lovely boyfriend is out returning a standing desk for me because it has a cracked desktop. He knows I would have delayed returning it because of executive dysfunction. He did everything, including chatting with customer service for me.
Not looking forward to returning to work tomorrow after my 4 day Thanksgiving weekend though.
Dragon Age: Origins. Not sure why. I was a big fan of Mass Effect already, and of story heavy RPGs in general, but I stopped this one pretty early on and sat on it for several years. Needless to say, it stuck the second time and now I've played it and the other Dragon Age games multiple times.
All of the above, but I think periodic check-ins would get some engagement at the very least. Memes are fun and articles are informative, but unfortunately we're a bunch who's usually into whatever our hyper-focus du jour is, and it's not always going to be our ADHD. So I see those two as hit or miss, unless someone is dedicated.
But check-ins don't require forethought or planning (except for whoever starts the thread) and we can just pop into the thread to vent or laugh at ourselves or whatever.
Yeah, it's the price that bothers me the most about this. For the same amount, you can get a whole Switch Lite.
And I'm still salty about how they treated the Vita. This is what we get as the first handheld successor to the Vita? And the Vita didn't cost much more.
I just discovered a cookbook called Six Seasons: A New Way with Vegetables by Joshua McFadden while looking up cookbooks to get me to eat more veggies. It's in the mail, so I can't vouch for the recipes yet. Apparently it's very highly rated though and I'm excited for some tasty veggies.
Yep, my parents are also sadly in the school of "just take a pill for it," which then turns into taking more pills for the side effects of the pills they're taking, and on and on.
While I'm in the "make healthy lifestyle changes" camp and have, so far in my early 40s, never been on long term medication and hopefully never will. It's so frustrating watching my parents deteriorate while still paying for so many meds.
Pippin felt curiously attracted by the well. While the others were unrolling blankets and making beds against the walls of the chamber, as far as possible from the hole in the floor, he crept to the edge and peered over. A chill air seems to strike his face, rising from the invisible depths. Moved by a sudden impulse he groped for a loose stone, and let it drop. He felt his heart beat many times before there was any signs. Then far below, as if the stone had fallen into deep water in some cavernous place, the came a plunk, very distant, but magnified and repeated in the hollow shaft.
'What's that?' cried Gandalf. He was relieved when Pippin confessed what he had done; but he was angry, and Pippin could see his eye glinting. 'Fool of a Took!' he growled. 'This is a serious journey, not a hobbit walking-party. Throw yourself in next time, and then you will be no further nuisance. Now be quiet!'
Nothing more was heard for several minutes; but then there came out of the depths faint knocks: tap-tom, tap-tom. ...
