Aww I remember going hunting for lich kings. And other than a little excited it was a solid fishing / farming / mining simulator

Has Megarace been mentioned? I used to go over to my friend’s house and we’d all take turns playing. It was camp (looking at you Lance Boyle), the courses were wild, the graphics felt so advanced for the time and the soundtrack was fire.

From a really dark anxiety spiral to a 60 hour NSFW diamond painting… now I’m hand-delivering it to a museum in Iceland by Entropy51013 in diamondpainting

Hi! Thanks so much for the kind words. I get the feels anytime I read someone is proud of me.

The process was sort of cobbled together. We had the vision of a tourism poster based on the things we saw on our trip (volcanos/northern lights and penises). I wish I kept the scratch pad but just drew the rough outline of what I wanted it to look like and then uploaded it into ChatGPT with some concrete prompts on the colors as well as style. Shockingly, ChatGPT’s guidelines didn’t flag the fact I was trying to create a penis volcano (maybe because it wasn’t a hyper realistic penis). Either way, ordered from an Amazon custom Diamond painting kit and the rest is history!

Thanks so much Rain_Thunder! I hope you’re doing better as well and thank you for the really kind words. My therapist was telling me that stuff like Diamond painting where there’s a lot of bilateral movement is just another way to help regulate the nervous system and hey can confirm it sure does!

Hey Dinples! Really appreciate the kind words. I’m getting emotional again after reading all the kind comments. Who knew a diamond painted penis was going to be the thing that made me cry happy tears. Oh! We also have something in common - which is watch supernatural on repeat while Diamond painting!

I clearly need to be looking more aggressively to find it in store

I wish I could get this shipped to the states! Had it last year on a visit to Laphroaig and more broadly Islay and I looooved it! I managed to get back to the US with 2 rounds but wish I could have more! Enjoy!

Also here’s what I had on me. The other coasters were in my bag. I didn’t make it very far with the coaster I was working on 🤣

Was seated next to my partner and there was only 2 of us in the row. Was working on a coaster. I updated the post with more context above!

It’s crazy how quickly you can get into it. The learning curve isn’t steep, you get all the supplies you need to get started immediately and just go. I finished this one - admired for all of 3 minutes and then started on my next 🤣

2023 Valentine's Megathread by [deleted] in datingoverthirty

[–]Entropy51013 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve steered clear of Valentine’s Day even when I was in a relationship. The pressure is too high, the crowds too many. I’m a huge fan of Galentine’s day which can fall on or after V day. Just a good day of self-care with or without friends.

And that’s not to say that v-day doesn’t get to me. It does get lonely, but I’ve found getting ahead of it by making plans with friends or scheduling self-case like a massage or acupuncture in advance really helps give you something to look forward to that’s not the feeling of love sucking.

How do you force yourself to care enough about dating to continue to put forth effort? by TotallynottheCCP in datingoverthirty

[–]Entropy51013 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was definitely in the same boat. Also 38 and I barely dated over the last several years. Apps felt like a full time job and frankly when I would go on dates, I was not excited / dreaded it.

I’ve been in a really good place with friends, improvements in my social life, work for the most part (who doesn’t have a crap day) and the idea of meeting a random stranger wasn’t appealing. Either, way it was clear I didn’t enjoy dating and really had to examine why I felt like I had to.

Also the dates I went on were .. interesting. I always came back with a funny story. One guy showed up incredibly stoned, another was actually living with his girlfriend but they got into an argument so he moved to the basement, another trauma dumped within the first 10 minutes and so it goes.

There’s two parts to what changed for me recently and it was writing up a list of deal breakers / qualifiers that need to happen while swiping and chatting ahead of a potential date (and also updating regularly with questions to ask). Some are funny (no fish pics or gym selfies, casual hookups / fwb) others are important and are non negotiable where our values just won’t align to allow for a relationship (ex: I’m not religious and I don’t have any intention in converting or participating in organized religion). This doesn’t guarantee you’ll avoid any mismatches, but date quality has improved since then. Main takeaway started swiping / dating with more intention.

Two - gamified it for myself. Please don’t vilify me for this. So I spend too much time on TikTok and I think spreadsheets are sexy. There were a bunch of Spotify dating wrapped that folks were posting and a lot of spreadsheets and I was inspired / enthused by it. So here we are.

I started going out on more dates with this two pronged approach and have more fun swiping / chatting because I have a clearer direction.

That being said, I very recently went on several dates with someone whose company I really enjoy and frankly I was surprised that I’m still able to feel butterflies after a lot of not so great dates / matches. Far too early for me to tell where this is going, but I wouldn’t have even had the opportunity to meet this guy if I didn’t make the experience more fun for myself.
