The age I am today (mid 30s). I’ve been dealing with depression basically my whole life, and while I’ve never been actively suicidal, I never really had a knack for planning years into the future because I figured for some reason or another I wouldn’t be here, so what was the point? I’m doing a little better; these days my mentality is more “I’ve made it this far, might as well continue.” I give myself little things to look forward to.
It’s kind of funny to me that this question popped up, because my best friend and I were talking about this just last night lol.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How many browser bookmarks do you have? Do you use most of them?
3·1 month ago2547, according to chrome://sync-internals, that I have built up around 15-20 years. I treat my bookmarks as more of a “read later” thing though, and a good chunk are also potential recipes and gaming guides. There’s only 1 that I use almost daily, due to it being work related.

4·2 months agoI finished the story Pacific Drive, and I’m not sure how I feel about the ending. It was nice, but it just kind of… happened? It was a bit anticlimactic, imo. But, I still find the gameplay super fun, so I’m still driving around the Zone and seeing what all I can collect and upgrading the base.
Also started Diablo 4 Season 12. I’m trying the Spiritborn class again and hoping that I have a better time than last time I used that class. It is really fun being the Butcher though, lol.

3·2 months agoStill making my way through Pacific Drive and I am having an absolute blast. I will admit that I had to disable the random instability storms because they were giving me complete anxiety to the point that I wasn’t enjoying the game like I wanted to. That’s the only thing I messed with, but it is nice to see the devs gave so many options to customize how easy/hard the game is for yourself. The music is great too! I love having the radio on while I’m tinkering around in the auto shop base, and the intermittent “strange signals” are fun to listen to.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is your oldest living presence on the World Wide Web?
12·2 months agoI have a hotmail address that I still regularly use for silly stuff. The earliest email I can find under it is from March 2006.

3·2 months agoI was obsessed with this game for a few months when it first came out. I’ve had thoughts here and there about checking back in to poke around, but I guess not. I’m sure my base is a mess from raiders for as long as I’ve been gone.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Those of you with bathrooms attached to your bedroom, do you normally keep the door open or closed while you sleep and what's your reasoning?
4·2 months agoIn my last apartment, the bedroom that I slept in had a sort of “open floor” layout to it, so the bathroom was kind of just there on one side, there was no door to close. It was kind of nice, I just kept an air purifier on that side of the room.

3·2 months agoI started Pacific Drive, which I think I like so far? It feels a little tedious getting into it, but I’m sure I’ll have a better hang of it once I get the mechanics down.
Edit: After a good few hours of playing, yeah, I like this game so far lol.

1·3 months agoI recently finished a playthrough of Ghostwire: Tokyo, and I enjoyed it as much as I did the first time, and maybe even a little more. I love all the lore and little easter eggs, and ngl I was a little sad when I ran out of side missions and collectibles to find. Now I’ve just been going through the Spider’s Thread dlc and working on wrapping up the last three Nekomata jobs I have left.

2·4 months agoI started Diablo 4 Season 11. So many changes from last season (again)! Whenever the game first came out, I remember making a comment that in a few years time it would be a different game that what it started out as mechanic wise, similar to the path Diablo 3 took. I did not realize how right I was going to be, lol.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's a video game you were bummed about finishing, wishing the experience lasted longer?
4·4 months agoControl is like this for me. It’s already a pretty lengthy game if you aim to complete all the side missions and collect everything, but there’s definitely a point where it hits a wall, and it’s like, “Whelp, I got all the documents, records, files, outfits, etc. I really want to play more but there’s nothing more to do.”

Games@lemmy.world•Day 533 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing
4·4 months agoHappy New Year! I do love Subnautica myself, and I’m actually working on a building/creative playthrough rn with the large rooms that I’ve never used before, for fun (so much titanium!). And if nothing else, I’m assuming you bought the game before the whole… whatever is going on right now with all that. You are clear to enjoy.

cats@lemmy.world•Do any of you actually call your cats by their names?
2·4 months agoI mostly call mine by her name, but sometimes she’s Lil Stinky Butt, sometimes Miss Ma’am (especially when she’s in trouble), lately she’s been Freebird because she keeps trying to get out the doggy door with the puppies. Edit: In the time since I’ve posted this, she’s also gone by Honey Buns and Little Miss.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What items do you have multiple of even though one would suffice?
13·5 months agoKeyboards. Wired, wireless, red switch, blue switch, LED, plain, full, half. I like having options.
I love The Man Who Invented Christmas, because I’m a sucker for Dan Stevens, and a follow up with The Muppets Christmas Carol is the best.
I liked organizing and telling people what to do so I became a project manager. Specifically in IT because I like computers.

My brother in law. Dude is a lazy pos who barely takes care of his kid and complains about everything. He does nothing to make my sister’s life easier, she does all of the housework, childcare, grocery shopping, cooking, cleaning, etc. She’s starting to slowly stand up for herself though, which is good. I’ve already said my piece to her, so she knows I’m waiting on the sidelines with a shovel if need be.
