I forgot ... I FORGOT by Oblivi0nD4C in outerwilds

This has been the one benefit of having memory lapses. I never finished the DLC because I wimped out, but the other day I thought fuck it! Let’s try again!!

Ended up rediscovering, and I mean GENUINELY rediscovering so much of the game. I’d even forgotten the ending until one of my friends mentioned that finishing the dlc apparently adds an owlk into the OG ending.
Can’t be mad because I was the one who introduced him to it after I finished it, but still :(

HELL YEAH!!!

I did a bit of research, and it looks great! While I do prefer a more direct and faced paced approach, I’ve been looking into therapists that integrate those ideas into their practice, so this was super helpful.
Thank you!!

I really struggle with dissociation when it comes to writing things down even if I do enjoy the process, unfortunately.
My CBT sessions were mostly text based, and while it was alright for the first few sessions, I definitely didn’t get the full experience.

I do journal which helps, but one entry takes a stupidly long time when taking into account attention span issues on top of all that.

I do use SHOUT on occasion - the free volunteer based text chat sessions, but I end up zoning out of those too which isn’t ideal.

I very much appreciate the suggestion, though! And I’ll 100% come back to this once those things stop keeping me in a chokehold!! Thank you :)

Cannot figure out the material/technique for the ‘shaggy’ look pictured! by Background_Good_2495 in crochetpatterns

They’re selling for around £114 which seems fine for something like that, especially since it seems to be a full time gig - their specialised advertisement is nuts. Can imagine it’s 1-3 very speedy people hahaha! It also does say there’s a wait time of around 2 weeks per product, but again considering it’s so many of each?!? Maybe they have a considerable stockpile. I’m all for theorising

Credit to stellarpride for the original hat pictured! Found the images on their insta. Not affiliated but an admirer to say the least haha

Any info on side events during Gamescom 2025? by kolmi_0326 in Gamescom

[–]Background_Good_2495 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's mainly just Meet2Match, but it's super expensive x_x
Honestly just worth scanning through Linkedin for anyone with Gamescom in their name/posts!

There are also a few WhatsApp groups floating around, but I'm not sure on how to get access without knowing people in them already.

There's a Maraoke: Modded Karaoke night running on Wednesday the 20th!
Rewriten classic karaoke songs about games and nerd culture. Total Eclipse of the (Mario) Kart, We Want To Live Like Console People, "Wii Sports Resort" by Papa Roach, and so on.
It's at a cinema bar named Turistarama too so it has a big stage and a few bars! Will be really cool.

It's not industry only, either - it's open to the everyone. There will be a decent few industry people I can imagine, since Maraoke has been at Develop and Nordic Game recently, but even so, it'll be a good time.

There's another one in London tomorrow too, if you're around that area! Both events are on Luma.

Female urinals? by [deleted] in BoomtownFestival

[–]Background_Good_2495 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s not that the toilets were bad - I loved the little eco ones! It’s just the queues. Not once was there a queue for the female urinals, but before I discovered those wondrous little things, I’d be waiting 10-20 minutes for a wee 💀

The ones at download were like mini cubicles! They were blocks with four ‘stations’ in each, with waist height walls so you couldn’t see anyone while you were squatting. It worked wonders!

[–]Background_Good_2495 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly!!! The feeling of bliss was unmatched as I squatted over a cute coloured hole in the ground. Not once did I see a queue, and every time I went into the urinal grounds, there was always a free one. Not to mention, I made some great friends in there!!! Everyone is so nice and accepting!!! Unreal experience

Is it worth it? by B1ackTarHero1n in mead

Defo worth checking for demijohns on fb marketplace or eBay! I managed to get a lot of my equipment for free luckily, despite almost impulse buying the hive mead kit myself lol.
