The little fuckers have given me PTSD. The toll they take on your mental health is real.

I sometimes finish the sentence for them to speed things along. It's a bad habit of mine and I try not to be rude about it. Hopefully it just comes across as understanding and supportive rather than usurping the conversation.

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.

Ghost of Tsushima is one of my comfort games, but I hate replaying the end of act 2 because of the emotional toll.

In Devil May Cry 3, the Nevan boss fight and backtracking through the rearranged tower after it's activated are just tedious.

Another user said the Fade section of Dragon Age: Origins, but I'll go with the Deep Roads. Everything you learn in that section is fascinating, but man, I just want to see the sky again and you're down there for a while.

Maybe look into an Onyx Boox instead of a Kindle. It will let you download books straight from the web (like standardebooks.org and Project Gutenberg) without having to side load. Also, you can add the Libby and Overdrive apps to it since it accesses the Google Play store. Also, it accepts all files formats so you don't have to convert anything.

Look up "night shift belly." I did night audit at a hotel for a year and a half. By the end, I could only really stomach eating the kale salad from Whole Foods and not much else.

It also wrecked my social life and when I got sick, I got really sick, so I think my immune system was out of whack in general.

Like others have said, the commute is a dream. The shift itself is quiet with plenty of time to have deep conversations with any coworkers you may have, read, listen to podcasts, etc. It's like living in a different world.

I say give it a try, but listen to your body and find something else soon if your health is affected.

I listen to audiobooks or podcasts while playing so it doesn't feel like I "wasted" all that time cleaning pixels.

I work from home and it's also great for helping me focus during meetings.

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.

This is how I feel too. I keep bouncing off of them, but I really want to like them.

I'm guessing it's the top down camera that's the issue with lack of immersion.

The only CRPG I didn't bounce off of was Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous. Not 100% sure why that one clicked, but it might be the writing.

I finally just blocked that community, since it was so spammy. That and 196. Nothing against either community. I just didn't want other stuff becoming buried under them. Now I'm seeing a lot more variety in overall posts.

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.

No pressure (ha!) of course.

As someone who has one of the non electric bidets installed and was afraid of having a puckered asshole the first time I used it, it's not that cold. And it's so worth it. I can't go back and will have a bidet everywhere I live in the future.

I think I got lucky and got one of the models with improved battery (Onyx Boox Page). I've been reading the Trigun manga on it for over a week now and it's only just getting to the point where I need to charge it finally.

But good point. Some of the older models might have worse battery life to consider. I only have a black and white model too. Color might use more battery.

Quitting soda. Then much later, quitting sugar altogether.

A weird mix of a murder mystery visual novel based in Joseon Korea (called Suhoshin) and FF 16, with short dips into Goat Simulator 3. Taking a short break from Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous, but I'll get back to it after these.
