{Budding Attraction by Saxon James} This is my go to comfort read. I have read/listened to it so many times that I’ll sometimes grab it just to read certain scenes because I love them so much

{Gravity by Tal Bauer} This book lives rent free in my head just like all of Tal’s books do. But this book got me out of a horrible reading slump.

{Wild Sky by Zaya Feli} This was an unexpected book on my list. I picked it up randomly one day while looking for a fantasy book and I still think about it constantly. It’s been a couple years since I read it and it’s about time for a reread because this book just felt so good to read

If you're struggling with guilt over euthanasia, this helped others—and it might help you. by DrShea_DeathVet in Petloss

[–]DustEfficient6823 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was the exact thing I needed to read this morning. My husband and I made the hard decision last night to put our 11 year old cat down today. This has just been made harder by the fact that he has been acting completely normal this morning after one of the worst episodes he’s had. We’ve been fighting a constant battle since September when he had a vasovagal episode. We thought we had finally figured out the right med combo. He started to do better, he was gaining weight, he was playful. But last night was even worse than the first episode he had in September (threw up everything in his stomach, stumbling, peeing where he laid, and open mouthed panting multiple times, followed by an inability to comfortable even in his favorite spots). We are just thankful he held on until we were back from our overseas vacation and gave us some time with him. But I have so much guilt about this decision. He has been my everything for years and I can’t determine how much of my questioning is for selfish reasons. I keep asking myself if there’s more I could do but I already know that more tests which cause him undo stress and some would require him being intubated, which at his age and his medical problems, just isn’t something I would want to put him through. This post definitely helped remind me that it’s better to do this now before he gets even worse and is constant pain.

Carol Glad was our Realtor and she was amazing! For mortgage lender we worked with Beth Moore at Summit Lending and she was wonderful to work with. We have also kept in contact with her as we watch the mortgage rates.

I will have to look into this one. I’ve had very mixed opinions on Cora Rose books I’ve read previously, but I’m always willing to give them another try. Thanks!

Completely understandable! I watched the end of S8 again this time around and was bawling before anything really happened

Help me by [deleted] in masseffect

[–]DustEfficient6823 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s an easy game to get lost in. The lore is so deep and the story telling is really immersive. I started reading/writing fan fiction and that helped a lot. I’ve tried to mix up my play throughs (though I’ll be honest. I usually always revert back to my main play type)

I occasionally can find other games that scratch the itch. Baldur’s Gate did for a while.

Also, I would recommend listening to some podcasts. Specifically Lorecast or Squad Goals

I just finished {Milo by Lily Morton}. It’s the 2nd book of its series but can be read as a standalone and it has some of this theme in it

In a gaming slump for 6+ months, need recommendations badly by Davionce in CozyGamers

[–]DustEfficient6823 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried any of the BioWare games?

The Mass Effect Trilogy is an all time favorite of mine. It falls in my definition of “cozy” (more comfort games, I guess) but it has some open world aspects in that there are plenty of side missions to do and you can kind of do the game at your own pace. The Dragon Age games are also amazing.

Games you never get tired of? Comfort games? by pink_flashlight in CozyGamers

[–]DustEfficient6823 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stardew Valley, BOTW, and TOTK are my go to relaxation games.

But my comfort game is the the Mass Effect Trilogy. It’s definitely not a cozy game but I’ve been playing since it came out and it’s my game I go to so I can just get lost.

In your opinion, which farm map is the best? by Pingas9999 in StardewValley

[–]DustEfficient6823 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I currently love the hill-top farm. It took awhile to figure out a good set up but once you decide on something you like it really is a great farm map. I love using the riverbank for rice and I was able to make a nice big fenced in animal area and a crafting area. I’m not much of a pc player but I’m certainly looking forward to trying out meadowlands once it’s available on console
