[CW: abuse dynamics. Could be seen as existential doomerism] Capitalism has made people see themselves as worthless cattle and that's sad by Moss in c/chat@hexbear.net

[-] Moss@hexbear.net 18 points 16 hours ago

I've been working through this in my head recently. I feel such a need to be seen as useful by a society that would have me ground down to nothing for the sake of profit. Even as much as I hate capitalism, I don't want to lose the game of capitalism and not be a good worker drone. Working makes me feel like less of a human.

drugs, quitting weed, it's good news!

Quitting weed has genuinely been really easy lol. This is the second time I've quit weed, last time I had a terrible evil strain that gave me a panic attack every time I smoked. I stayed off it for six months, then picked it up again. Had fun for a while, quickly became addicted again, then realised I wasn't getting much out of it. The highs were shorter and less intense, and just not much fun. Weed is an expensive and unhealthy vice, so if I'm consuming I at least want to enjoy it.

I'm loving waking up in the morning and not feeling sick. I'm loving the time I have in a day that isn't just voided by the weed. If I want to drive anywhere, I can do it at any time of the day, because I'm sober. I don't feel the desire to stuff my face with food that I don't even really taste. It's been pretty instant, the way my lifestyle has felt so much healthier.

I had some cravings last night, but really thought about it. Getting a bit stoned didn't appeal to me since I knew it wouldn't last long, and getting really high didn't appeal much to me either because I'm bored of that and it feels like a waste of time. So I just ended up playing Pokemon Showdown instead, and now I've woken up in a great mood.

My dog is dying. She's very old, she's breathing heavily like something is hurting her, she has no appetite, she struggles to stand. I can't think about anything else

It's more gamefied than Showdown, you need to buy Pokemon rather than just adding them straight to your team. You get to pick 1 from a random lineup of 10, then have to pay to get another lineup. It's doable without buying micro transactions, I haven't paid for anything with real money and I have all the pokemon I want, but it's not instant like showdown.

The meta is really low power right now so you can get away with just about anything. Sneasler and Incineroar are everywhere but they've been nerfed and don't feel quite as oppressive.

ok nerds. sell me on pathfinder. i kinda hate dnd, but i want to run a pirate-themed campaign for players who have only ever played dnd. my main goal is for combat to feel cool and dynamic and exciting, rather than a 1-hour slogfest of dice rolls.

I was just thinking about what games I've played this year, and I realised Pokemon Champions would be my game of the year by default, because its the only new game I've played in the last four months, and I think it kinda sucks. The only other games I've played are Cyberpunk, Terraria and AC4: Black Flag.

Then I remembered Deltarune chapter 5 is coming out this year! Thank fucking god, a saviour is coming.

Anyway, anyone wanna recommend some story-heavy indie games for me to check out?

Obama, our bestest and heckin' wholesomest president ever, said in response to if he thinks what's happening in Gaza is a genocide, that "there are disasters and catastrophes everywhere" by Moss in c/chapotraphouse@hexbear.net

[-] Moss@hexbear.net 32 points 6 days ago

The "Oct 7" thing is such an obviously manufactured atrocity propaganda thing, trying to draw parallels to 9/11 in order to get strike fear in Americans. Every country has a day of disaster, but only USA and Israel get to write theirs into the common lexicon

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?

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.

Their colour is so misleading, because red food should be like really tangy and strong. Either sweet like a strawberry or cranberry, or savoury like ketchup. Tomatoes taste like they should be a pale green or yellow, but they're red. It's fucked up.

[CW: Depression] Have any of you really overcome depression? (hexbear.net)

submitted 1 year ago by Moss@hexbear.net to c/askchapo@hexbear.net

8 comments fedilink

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?
