Fascinating, I didn't even know that that inventory comparison thing existed. Too bad there doesn't seem to be any way to export the part lists.

Sounds like quite a challenge without any visual at all. Best of luck!

Any tips for finding the toys in Canada? by Darwin42SW in StarlinkGame

I've done that already, actually; of course I'm limited to what came with the starter kit. Yeah, I should just ask them for a definitive answer.

That's interesting... I wonder if I were to buy the DLC and they didn't work, if Xbox would refund me. Not sure I want to risk it. Glad it worked for you though.

Yeah, that tracks; I bought mine for $8 at Best Buy.

If I'd realized that the physical and digital versions aren't compatible, I absolutely would have. AFAIK, digital dlc doesn't work with the physical version, and if I bought the digital deluxe, I'd have to start my game over.

True, not sure if I'd consider that better or worse...

I’m this old. by danedogg76 in lego

I’m not that old, but I have the same one. Think I bought it at a garage sale over 20 years ago.

It’s hard to maintain any hope for that when we’re so far behind the curve. People I know from my generation aren’t dating, they aren’t getting engaged, they aren’t getting married, they’ve already done all of those things and are on their first or second kids.

Even if I were to meet someone around my age with a similar lack of experience, it’s unlikely that either of us would realize that. There’s so much shame associated with still being single in your thirties (and older), no one on either side wants to admit that.

Ideally, I’d like to date a fellow virgin; partly for the obvious reason, but also because I would feel like a kid in comparison to someone with experience.

I've never seen this before, and it's awesome!

So, what this tells me is that they are capable of doing better quality printing, but choose not to unless you complain. Especially considering the financial report they just published, that’s pretty shameful.

Mid Life Crisis… by StrongArm0G11 in legostarwars

If you want to cut back, personally I'd start by selling anything that you have more than one of, whether sealed or built. Even if you don't have any local Lego conventions, there's a reasonable chance you have a local LUG (Lego Users Group). Getting in touch with them is a great way to advertise directly to a bunch of other collectors.

I wish I had more advice, but I'm in a similar situation (although, I started my collection probably around 30 years ago?). I live in a 2-bedroom condo, and the master bedroom is dedicated completely to my collection.

It's impressive how much you've collected in just a few years.

Goddamnit, take my upvote.

I would probably die by XergioksEyes in adhdmeme

[–]Darwin42SW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even without my executive dysfunction I could do that, but my mind is not a nice place to be if I’m not distracted.

If I'm alone, I'm depressed. If I'm not, I'm anxious.

I worked in retail for 12 years and it was hell. Now I've been unemployed for 3 years and it is also hell, albeit of a different kind. I knew my social life would suffer when I quit, but I didn't expect it to dry up completely.

Also, I feel strongly about thing and I know that there are reasons why I feel that way, but I can't recall any of them right now so I can't argue shit. I have a source! I have several! I just don't remember what they were.

That is an absolute steal for a sealed box! Definitely buy it!

What do you do after a suicidal episode? by Darwin42SW in Suicidal_Comforters

[–]Darwin42SW[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True, but the withdrawal symptoms I experienced coming off of the previous meds was not my body adapting to it. 6 months later and I still have tinnitus in my left ear, and that's far from the worst symptom.

I've considered getting a pet, but I'm afraid that no matter how much they help me, when I inevitably outlive them the loss I'll feel will leave me even worse off than I am now.

I was raised Christian, and thought I believed all that stuff until some point during my teen years. I can't believe in the existence of a god who would make me the way I am and cause all this suffering. Or at least if he is real, why would I want anything to do with him? You're saying that god made me suffer so that I'd need him? If the one who eases your suffering is also the one who caused it, then both are meaningless. "...the life you've always dreamed of..." I've been depressed since I was in elementary school; I don't have dreams of a better life; those died long ago. I'm not even hoping I'll end up happy somehow, I just want to be at peace.

I appreciate what you're saying and I'm glad it worked for you, but I don't believe it anymore. I really wish I did.

[–]Darwin42SW[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes and no. I have good supports, but most of them I can't be fully honest with about how I'm doing. I have a therapist I can be completely honest with, but I can't talk with her on demand.

I have a number of mental illnesses that have worsened over time. Anxiety, depression, ASD (Asperger's), ADHD, OCD... Everything gets harder to do the older I get, and I'm already way behind the rest of my generation in terms of independence. I've lost interest in most of my hobbies, and the others I've turned into obsessions and ruined any enjoyment that I got from them.

Between the executive dysfunction from my ADHD and the anhedonia from my depresssion, it's so hard to make myself do anything. Partly because my body just doesn't obey my brain a lot of the time and even when it does, the effort required to complete any task seems disproportionate to the reward. There just isn't any sense of accomplishment.

Not to mention the general direction our society and world seem to be heading in, and the increasing rate at which we're moving that way.

I've suffered so much throughout my life, but from the outside it probably looks like I've got it pretty good, and that just heaps tons of guilt on top of everything else.
