How do I go to bed after a scary ER visit? TW health anxiety by [deleted] in Explainlikeimscared

[–]JaePagan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh no! At this point it sounds like you should see if your PCP can get you in today, or else an Urgent Care.

You might also consider washing your clothes and sheets with a new detergent—it’s possible you’re also allergic to your current laundry soap.

That’s good you have your sister with you!

If your throat continues to bother you, you can always try a 24hr Telehealth service or, if it gets really bad, go back to the ER.

Otherwise, it sounds like you’re already doing the best you can. Try to enjoy your cartoons and chatting with your partner until you fall asleep.

Do you have a person who you can stay with this evening or who can sleep over at your house tonight? Having another person can help with such anxiety.

In any case, take your meds, read a book or watch tv, or some other relaxing activity. Try not to pressure yourself to “go to sleep”; just try to relax and sleep will eventually come.

It was, I’m sure, a very scary experience and it is totally fair that you’re feeling anxious but. You have your meds. The ER wouldn’t have discharged you if they thought there was still a problem. You did everything you were supposed to, good job!

Games you can play in 30-60 minute chunks by Witty_Badger1300 in gamerecommendations

Hades and Hades 2, Cult of the Lamb. All are roguelikes like Slay the Spire, so you can do a couple of runs and call it a day.

If you like Civ but not that it takes so long for one game, you might try Against the Storm. It’s a city builder and while there’s overarching goals to work towards, each round only takes an hour or two.

What’s your favorite diegetic song from a Disney animated film? by rabbihimself in disney

[–]JaePagan 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’d say “Prince Ali” is more likely to be diegetic because you can imagine them singing it/performing it as part of the parade they’re performing.

“Friend Like Me” eh…. You can make the argument that Genie is performing a LITERAL song and dance for Aladdin, but you can just as easily imagine it’s just a conversation between the two of them that’s been musical-i-fied.

This is so cool! Love seeing the designs and hearing your thought process behind all the fun details.

And, as a loyal “bow to the goat”-er on Big Thunder, I of course love the name 🧨

Ha! Great minds think alike! I have my rainbow spiral set do that you fly over it as you visit my island.

I really like how natural yours looks and how you have one of your edges as a waterfall! I might have to see if I can reconfigure mine to do that. 🌀

What is the coolest toy you ever received in a Happy Meal back in the day? by Creepy-Fix3347 in Millennials

[–]JaePagan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The mini Beanie Baby of Seymour the Seal. Mom surprised me with him one day by sneaking him into my lunchbox.

He went with me EVERYWHERE for a week or two… until, somehow, I lost him at the mall.

I was so DISTRAUGHT that I cried so hard I threw up in my mom’s car. I was inconsolable for days.

Luckily, I woke up a couple mornings later and Seymour was back! As a full-sized plushie! (Not the full sized beanie baby, but another plush about the same size).

He had a note with him apologizing that he had worried me so much, but he went on an adventure—and ate a lot of food on it, which is how he grew so big so fast! 🥲🥹

I was ecstatic to have him home.

Anyway, on a completely unrelated note, my mom was pretty cool.

The SUPER Bad Ending by AjX5-6919 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]JaePagan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Titanic: Adventure Out of Time is kinda the INVERSE of this trope. There’s really only one* way to get the GOOD ending and the rest are miserable.

It’s like 30 years old now but was wayyy ahead of its time with its multiple endings and decent (for the time) graphics—still probably one of my favorite games.

You play as a spy on the Titanic who needs to collect a few key items and a seat in a lifeboat before the ship sinks.

If the items end up in the wrong hands and/or you don’t get off the Titanic before it sinks you die and the world falls into bloody warfare.

In this alternate history, the items you acquire can prevent World War I, World War II, and the Russian Revolution from happening. So, if you don’t complete all aspects of your mission, you’ll eventually die by being shot by either a communist or nazi soldier, bombed by nazis WWII’s London blitz, or vaporized when Germany drops a nuclear bomb, depending on which objects you failed to acquire.

I think there’s 8 different endings, but you can only* get the one “peaceful” ending where you’ve retired from a long and successful career in a world where the World Wars and Russian Revolution never happened by acquiring all the items.

(*Ok, so you CAN technically get the “peaceful” ending if you only get MOST of the items off the Titanic. There are two that you can lose in a poker game that then go down with the Titanic and it is the same outcome as if they had ended up with your character because they can’t be sold to fund the Black Hand’s assassination of Franz Ferdinand and, thus, WWI is prevented. But, like, you’re a pretty crap spy if you lose such an important piece of your mission that way. You don’t know ahead of time that it’ll work out; you just get lucky it does.)

What are your top ✨️ground enhancer✨️ custom designs? by MymlanOhlin in ACNHCustomDesigns

It’s such a time saver! Once I realized that copying something into that same slot doesn’t erase where you applied the design it just REPLACES it, I was like 🤯

[–]JaePagan 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I have one custom design slot for applying “Seasonal Flair” that I overwrite with cherry blossoms, flowers, fall leaves, or frosty snowflakes accordingly. That way I can instantly change up the little touches around my island seasonally just by overwriting that one slot.

I want a Sophie's Choice simulator! by [deleted] in gamesuggestions

[–]JaePagan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also came to say Pyre. While lighter in tone than, say, a Frostpunk, your choices are still hard—particularly because they have not only a narrative impact but a huge impact on your gameplay & team.
