You only have your life, not anyone else's. And nobody owns your life either. Try to do something you want.

That's what I try to tell myself. Doesn't mean I'm living like that, but I want to one day

    I feel so tired all the time suddenly. I've not had this much before. I'm not terribly depressed, I'm not working as much as I used to. I think I'm burnt out from working a job that I dont care about.

    I listened a long time ago and found it to be another male-dominated "dirtbag left" type podcast. They're all very well read, but they want the podcast to be accessible to people who aren't communists, so there's only so much they can get into.

    Phasmophobia is brilliant because it's actually two games in one, depending on your knowledge and experience.

    For the casual players, Phasmophobia is a horror "friendship" (I hate hate that term but it's basically a genre now) game. The ghost hunts are genuinely scary, the adrenaline rush of hearing a ghost walk past you on a hunt, having no idea if it sees you, being blind yourself... that's fun. That's scary. You get to fuck around and see your friends get spooked and killed by ghosts.

    But if you want to be really good at the game, it turns into the best detective game I've ever played. Every ghost has three pieces of evidence that identify it definitively; by playing a difficulty where its impossible to obtain the third piece of evidence, you have to piece together what ghost youre investigating by observing behaviour. Having two pieces of evidence narrows down what ghost it can be, but after that, you have to look at how the ghost acts when it's hunting, how it interacts with the environment and so on to figure out what you're working with. It's so much fun.

    closetedBeing closeted is tearing me apart. I thought I might be nonbinary when I was 19. I didn't think much about it for a while, then as I hit my 20s and decided I want to conciously be myself instead of just be convenient for others, I realised I really wanted to be nonbinary. I started looking more into alternative fashion and doing my hair differently. But I'm still not out, and this past year its been eating at me. I have a loving group of friends who already accepted one of my friends when he came out as trans, and supportive parents and family. But the idea of coming out still scares me so much.

    I don't live in a city where other trans and queer people are visible. I live in rural Ireland, where the most alternative thing you'll ever see is a tattoo, and diverging from conventions is extremely looked down on. I don't like my body, I'm slightly overweight and constantly jealous of skinnier and more attractive people. Coming out at work is going to be fully impossible. I work in a kitchen with pretty intense and competitive people, and there's a lot of toxic masculinity going around.

    But I feel like its becoming a danger to my health, the longer I'm closeted. I feel that coming out is something I need to do to save myself, but the act itself is so terrifying. Its not so much that I'm afraid of being rejected, but telling people I'm not who they thought I am terrifies me. I really, really don't want to tell people my pronouns are they/them and police them on that.

    Imagine all the things you could do with three hundred hours. All the people you could meet, the skills you could learn, the places you could go.

    Or sink into the slop till your thoughts stop.

    I spent all of yesterday building a PC (NOT easy, Jesus Christ) and now it needs an OS. Fuck windows, or course, so I want a Linux OS. I'll be mainly using my PC for gaming and editing videos, and I'd much prefer something that works similarly to Windows just for comfort purposes since I'm already familiar. Also I've heard Linux is incompatible with some games?

    So, nerds, what do you recommend?

     

    Watch with captions!

    Ough my god it scratches my brain soo so good. Idk what Jamie Paige did but I need to inject Teto straight into my blood. Fuck I've listened to it like ten times today. Oohohojo and the animation and the lyrics. In what other song does the singer get her words wrong and scream "aaahhhh my penis" in the middle? It's so fuckin good

     

    God its so fucking good. I've never played a story-heavy game and then wanted to immediately replay it. I've played through chapters 3 and 4 twice in the past month and I wanna replay it again already. Honestly if you haven't played it, and you have any interest in story games, I recommend jumping in now. The release of chapters is such a fun and exciting time and I wouldn't wanna miss future releases. Also if you don't want to play, at least check out the OST because its without a doubt the best I've ever heard.

     

    I've been living with depression since I was 14. It felt inescapable, but for a couple of years, I was doing really well. I stopped going to therapy, I was able to handle bad things, anxiety wasn't tearing me apart, I had goals I wanted to achieve. Then in the last two years of college, my depression came back worse than ever. Trying to get better isn't even on the table, right now I'm just trying to want to get better.

    But for a few years, I was able to think to myself that I was happy, and that depression was a thing of the past. For the life of me, I can't remember why. I feel like I'm doomed to be stuck in a cycle of falling in and out of depression for years at a time at best.

    But has anyone actually come out of depression, for real? Is it possible to say that you dealt with your depression and you are genuinely happy, or at least want to be happy, and you think you will be that way for the rest of your life? Because I genuinely don't see how people are supposed to be happy.

    Also did we used to have a mental health comm?
