Tomorrow, at are-you-fucking-serious o'clock, Anne and I leave for this year's Star Trek cruise.
I've spent the last week getting ready, and as of about 18 hours ago, we are completely packed and ready to go. We are so ready to go, I've been sort of aimlessly wandering around the house, double checking and triple checking to make sure that we didn't forget something, and...

It is not so strange what you feel, anxiety is a state of activation so powerful that it generates a conditioning towards contexts very difficult to extinguish and if this activation does not occur your limbic system is triggered because it creates cognitive dissonance before an internal incongruence by both exogenous and endogenous agents, but it is good that you express that you are aware and peexivo that you have control of your emotions. Do you understand how valuable and important it is for your "self"? You are going on a journey that you want to make so your corticothalamic connections and amygdala do not perceive it as a worry or as an external threat and that awakens that dissonance because you always live under that dichotomy, anxiety/non-anxiety. So don't worry my friend, it's not bad that you don't feel anxiety and you shouldn't feel bad or strange about it, feel strong because you are feeling something called self-control. Have a great trip and enjoy it with the freedom your brain is gaining. šŸ¤—šŸ˜ƒšŸ˜ƒšŸ˜ƒšŸ’›šŸ’›šŸ’›

I am glad to read this.

Just a couple of days ago, I told Anne that though I am always a little sad to wrap a season of Ready Room, because I genuinely love my job that much, I was glad to have the time and energy to do stuff together. Itā€™s always so weird how we can live together, sleep in the same bed, see each other every single day,...

Well, without being contentious, Happy Valentine's Day to you both.

I remember in the eighties our local ABC station did a summer promotion thing where they broadcast a different 1950s 3D movie every weekend for a month. I feel like we bought the glasses at 7-11; maybe they came with a Slurpee or something like that.

However we got them, I remember watching local weather guy Johnnie Mountain host a movie called Gorilla At Large....

I can remember some kung-fu-esque horribly produced 3Dā€™sā€¦ the ones where the swords came slashing right at your face. I saw a pristine pair of those 7-11 paper goggles at a flea market last summer, wanted $50, no thanks. Didnā€™t need to spend that much recalling old memories that usually ended badly. Thanks for your candidness thoughā€¦ maybe if I squint really hard through those red and green plastic lenses my memories might gain some warmth.

Unfortunately for me my mom was my bully. My dad left before I was born so she blamed me for him leaving and she never let me forget it. I am glad you are able to pull out some happy memories from that time though. I still suffer from PTSD because of my childhood.

January 9, 2016 is the day my life ā€” a life that belongs to me, that centers my needs and dreams, that I built out of the ashes of my abusive childhood ā€” began. It was the day I chose to stop numbing my pain and started a slow, deliberate, committed journey toward healing the trauma that I experienced at the hands of my abusive,...

Someone on Reddit in r/rpg asked what the biggest surprise of 2023 was for us.
This is the kind of thing I enjoy talking about, so I thought I'd share it here.

The biggest surprise for me this year was finding my way back into the depths of my library.
My first RPG was D&D Basic in 1983, and I've played ever since, tons...

I have been doing the same. Between working full time,Ā  COVID, and being a primary caregiver for both of my elderly parents, I have gone back to my supply of RPGs and dove back in. Just fun to savor the physical classics and indulging in the PDFs of new games, trying to pull together ideas for when I can start taking more time for myself. If you ever get a chance to push out your reading list, it would be greatly appreciated.
catdad:
Great blog!Ā  I got the D&D basic box for levels 1-3 around 1980 or 1981, which was junior high for me.Ā  I got all of the Advanced D&D rule books and a number of modules and played with friends off and on through high school until everyone went separate ways in college, but I did enjoy reading the modules back then.Ā  Sometime a decade ago or maybe a little more, I somehow heard about Eclipse Phase and was intrigued enough by the concept and short stories that were built into the core rule book to buy it.Ā  I've bought every core rule book since, even though I have no interest in playing the game.Ā  I also bought another one of the D&D monster compendiums and the Torment: Tides of Numenera Explorer's Guide after playing the PC game.

Whenever I post pictures of me and my favorite human on a date, someone has to be a dick with bad faith sealioning about our masks. There is no point engaging with these chuds, because all they want to do is waste my time and/or drag me and anyone else they can into an argument. (At some point, I began telling people, ā€œWhat youā€™re trying...

So true. So many people are being dicks these days. But luckily in my personal life and internet life I donā€™t have that. Since I get along with a lot of people but yeah thereā€™s always one asshole to spoil the mood isnā€™t there. If people want to still wear mask when theyā€™re out, let them. Theyā€™ve been doing that in Japan long before the covid and no one bats an eye. Yeah it is just silly isnā€™t it. Thereā€™s just some people who just want to start up drama for no reason. Best to walk away and do what you do you know. Glad youā€™re looking after yourself mate! šŸ‘šŸ»

At the beginning of summer, as I was nearing the end of The Witcher: The Wild Hunt, I asked the Internet for a game recommendation that would tick some very specific boxes for me, including open world, entertaining combat, some crafting, all that stuff I loved about The Witcher.

My friend Will texted me and said ā€œThe answer to your question is Assassinā€™s Creed: Origins...

A little over a month ago, I was having a rough day with my brain goblins, so I wrote myself this note to remind myself that Depression Lies.

I stuck it to my monitor, next to another one that reminded me to relax my shoulders and breathe.

At some point, it fell off and I forgot about it. Just now, I got under my

Authorā€™s note: these memories are extremely old. Iā€™ve done my best to convey the emotional truth of this story, but Iā€™m sure some of these details are not perfectly accurate. Names and other details have been changed.
