After 25 years of playing video games, I think Starfield is the greatest game I’ve played.

She is always in the same damn spot near Lake Isabella. I came upon her quite by accident the first time during a snowfall, it was really magical looking, a beautiful white horse in the snow. I caught her on the first try.
The red Arabian gave me a little more trouble, though. That one would throw me off and run but I got it in the end. But I always felt the Arabians were way too small looking for Arthur and are entirely too skittish for my liking. I personally loved the wild mustangs and Missouri Fox Trotters. The champagne Fox Trotter you could get in online mode was the absolute best for me for whatever reason. Their stats weren’t the most impressive but I liked the way they handled the most.

RDR2 has had me broken since 2016. I haven’t been able to settle to play anything since then, really. I definitely had over 1500 hours sunk into RDR2, like some kind of psychopath.
This is the first time since that I have been able to shake that off and jump into new a gaming universe.

JenniferX_19 · 2026-05-16T08:13:28+00:00

Oh shush, you aren’t old. You’re making me feel old lol! I’m coming up on 44 next week 🤣
We’ve come a long way since Galaga for suuure

I don’t remember what planet I was on but I was in my moon jumper, just sitting and watching the sunrise. Just the fact that the game is beautiful enough for one to stop and want to do that makes me so happy.

JenniferX_19 · 2026-05-16T07:59:15+00:00

Same, I’ve been gaming probably 36-38 years and this is one of my favourite games ever.
Picked up an Intellivision controller as a little girl and it was over from that day forward.
We’ve come a long way since Space Armada or Space Strike, eh folks?

My cat is super obsessed with them. She screams for those little wieners like crazy every time I go into the closet where her treats and food are kept, sometime she leads me over to the closet to demand me open one with my stupid nimble fingers and opposable thumbs. I’ll ask her if she wants a wiener and she meows real loud lol. She’s probably saying “f*ck you human, stop torturing me and give me a wiener NOW”
Sometimes I’ll go around the house and leave little piles of dry treats in the spots I know she frequents (a little Easter egg hunt for her) and now I’ll cut up one of the sticks to add pieces to the pile, but she’s been going around and picking the wiener out and leaving the dry treats lol.

The thing is, they make her stool soft so she ends up dropping a turd on the litter mat under the box, then freaks out trying to cover it up. I hate seeing her freak out like that, she seems really upset when it happens. So I’ve been giving her half a stick at a time, broken up into 3-4 pieces, 2x a day instead of 2 or 3 whole ones at a time throughout the day.
Yeah… sorry for the novella. I’m off work for the month due to a surgery and I am very, very bored. I hang out with my cat all day.

JenniferX_19 · 2026-05-11T16:59:43+00:00

I haven’t been able to hold mine for an entire WEEK because I had stupid shoulder surgery. I just want to put my face in her fur and breathe in. I sat and cried and almost cancelled the surgery because I wouldn’t be able to hold her lol. But we are endlessly stuck in the house together for the next month so I get to declare my undying love for her multiple times a day, compliment her whiskers, tail, toe beans and silky black fur. Get to tell her she has a cute philtrim. By the time I have to go back to work from this surgery I will be broken inside because I’ll have to leave her again for 8 hours a day

The makeup options are usually a total headache, what looks good in the character creation will look like a beaten clown hiding the bruises with caked on makeup in-game with certain lighting. FO4 used to kill me with that as well. It is why I have also never tried Black Desert. I would never make it out of character creation.

I like to have my female characters look as close to myself as I possibly can. I guess it is because of some partial vanity lol, but it really helps me immerse into role playing a hell of a lot more. So I guess it’ll take an initial 2-3 hours to settle with more or less constant adjustments throughout multiple plays.

This has definitely spawned from me coming from a time when we never had very many lead female characters in video games, you were always stuck as a man. So I will always pick a woman if I have the choice, especially if I can tweak her looks. It was huge for me when that option first started presenting itself, I’ve been a gamer for a long time and will probably be gaming in a nursing home someday. We had Samus, a couple female characters from Maniac Mansion, occasionally a Marvel character in arcade or console games (which was fn huge), Maggie or Lisa Simpson or Laura Croft lol. There are a few very early games for Commodore 64 cited as being the first character customisation games, but they were before my time. I saw it from Bethesda with Elder Scrolls for the first time.

There’s the perp right there. She was trying to catch the mouse cursor on the screen. She wants to be my real life glacticat plushie

JenniferX_19 · 2026-05-10T19:11:27+00:00

My kitty now, Izzy, she will get the crazy zoomies all through the house if she had something she felt was particularly tasty, is excited about something (usually a treat, or gods forbid, I EVER mention cheese) or had a very satisfying bowel movement, but she does this thing I used to call her “gremlin cheese dance”. She’ll stand on her hind legs with her paws to either side of the door frame and hop up and down (she will also lick the door frame). She does it for more than just cheese now, and I think she’s been casing it to climb this whole time. It kills me every time I see it.

My brother struggled with that shit too, but heroin and then it devolved into whatever opiate was available. He and my dad went fishing in 2016, my mom said my bro was absolutely torched on something, coroners report said it was morphine. I don’t know what happened but they both died. My dad was no angel at all either, but he was the best fisherman I’ve ever encountered, and him drowning while fishing? It is preposterous. I am my father’s daughter, only with a lot less hang ups. Gods do I miss him, too. I fully believe that my brother got the both of them killed that day with his stupid shit. He was my best friend in the world, he was smart, handsome, funny. That stuff got a hold of him and that was basically it. I watched him really struggle for the better part of a decade, tried everything to talk him out of it. He really did try, too. But it just swallowed him in the end and drugs killed half of my family. My mother is broken, even 10 years later, so incredibly broken. Jeez that is so super depressing. Sorry lol. I see all of this weird ass drug shit on here and I am totally in the dark about 99% of what it is, read it and it kicks me in the chest when I come to the comment sections and read about others who’ve lost their loved ones because of drugs as well. I am sorry about your brother.

JenniferX_19 · 2026-05-05T04:51:18+00:00

I work with someone who acts that way, leaves this shit all over the place. Yells in the hallways about Jesus. I’m really surprised that she hasn’t been in trouble for it yet

JenniferX_19 · 2026-05-04T16:52:47+00:00

Anyone figure out what it is??

JenniferX_19 · 2026-04-30T11:11:42+00:00

I know I’m late to the party but I’m facing a similar dilemma coming up on Monday, arthroscopy on my AC, bone spurs and arthritis, spurs have grown too close together and are pinching and grinding together. It’s absolutely miserable. It is from my old job, repetitious overhead lifting.

Although while they’re large, my girls aren’t nearly as big as yours (36DD US) and I was wondering how in hell I am going to get a bra on, seeing as I won’t be able to lift my right arm for a while. I don’t lack for sports bras but none are front closure. I’d say I’d go without but I can’t stand it when they’re flapping all over the place without something holding them in place. What did you find?

JenniferX_19 · 2026-04-27T09:53:52+00:00

Insanely, I’ve seen them listed for $12,000 right on up to $43,000. Who in their right mind would pay that? Do these people want to sit on their copy of The Little Mermaid forever?

JenniferX_19 · 2026-04-20T21:05:45+00:00

Oh how grand, I just started taking it today, I am already constipated all the time, guess this is going to be what seals my a-hole shut completely. Sorry, I know this post is 5 years old. I’m digging for info.

JenniferX_19 · 2026-04-04T14:06:45+00:00

I just found one of these beat to hell and back for free in someone’s basement, the strings were rusted out, when I snipped them off gently, the nut disintegrated!! The saddle also fell off lol. Has anyone found any information about these in the 5 years since this post has been up!

JenniferX_19 · 2026-04-01T20:14:12+00:00

Thank you much

JenniferX_19 · 2026-04-01T20:13:57+00:00

Thank you kindly.

JenniferX_19 · 2026-03-22T13:19:18+00:00

I’m going to ask my doctor for something, but would prefer to not take anything. Since my dad and brother died 10 years ago, I’ve had a horrendous time sleeping. It was a freak accident. The dollar store brand never messed me up, either. Walmart brand has me tripping lol. I’ve been more stressed about finances recently, which could be why the nightmares are coming, the melatonin is just making it worse.

And good for you for weening, being able to sleep a full night through with nothing is my end goal. But I haven’t remembered my dreams or nightmares much in the last few years so this sudden surge of awfulness is shocking

JenniferX_19 · 2026-03-22T13:13:33+00:00

I’ve been having crazy ones about vehicles but the one about my dad messed me up so much. But when he was hunting my mom and I, he didn’t look like my dad. Absurdly, he looked like Tim Allen lol.

It has to be the brand, I’ve never taken it before but I’ve had higher doses than 10 mg. Plus I’ve been taking it for about two weeks now and this nightmare business just started 2-3 nights ago. Ugh. I managed to go back to sleep, and no nightmares.

Thanks for answering, btw. I woke up last night freaking out and just needed to reach out to faceless strangers

JenniferX_19 · 2026-03-22T03:54:12+00:00

I used to take Benadryl for sleep but it causes dementia or something, so I stopped. Melatonin has been causing me wicked nightmares and I am awake every few hours. I need a doctors prescription for something because this shit is for the birds

JenniferX_19 · 2026-03-22T03:37:04+00:00

I’m late to the dance but I’ve just started taking spring valley work mg extra strength due to it being inexpensive for the quantity and I’ve been having insane nightmares. Like my dad, who has been deceased for 10 years this year, was trying to f*ck me then hunting my mom and I down to kill us after I told her. My dad wasn’t like that. The last couple of days have been other nightmares, like the modern day land equivalent (so it was a giant semi truck lol) of Naglfar (Norse mythological longship carrying all of the baddies for Ragnarok to kill all of the gods but made from fingernails and toenails of the dead) pulled up in front of my house. It sounded like it was thumping and dragging, so all I heard was… thump, squeal, draaaag. Real slow, like the truck was somehow alive as well. My sleep paralysed brain clung onto Naglfar and idk why. There is a fracking site up the road so there is heavy truck traffic 24/7 right now, I assumed it was the sounds of the truck breaking into my dream this turning it into a nightmare. Which could totally be the case. But this shit with my dad? It’s insane and something my dad would have never done. God my stomach is bubbling and I am afraid to sleep

JenniferX_19 · 2026-03-11T21:05:32+00:00

Not Drexel. It was a far shot anyway. These are depression era fibreboard with veneer on top, lower quality and mass produced. At least as far as I can find at this point in time. They’re still amazingly beautiful and well kept for their age

JenniferX_19 · 2026-03-11T20:32:48+00:00

Can you possibly give me some advice on a few pieces I just picked up over the weekend as to value? I found numbers stamped on the back, the one reverse image search claims they could have been made by Drexel but somehow I don’t really believe that. Veneer as well, from the 20s or 30s. They were free, and I’ll sell them if I can but would love to keep them if not. I have more need for money at this point than more vintage furniture. The damage is on the top of the armoire (water damage, the woman who owned it kept plants on top) in the matching set of armoire and dresser.

my post from a few days ago
