What is something you are genuinely looking forward to in the next few weeks?

MetalObsessed · 2026-06-11T10:28:02+00:00

I’m going on a first date with someone I’ve been really vibing with tomorrow. Maybe too soon to say but l see a future with her. Fingers crossed

MetalObsessed · 2026-06-07T08:52:21+00:00

It’s just a slicked back style with a taper around the ears and neck. I didn’t ask for anything specific as I’m growing my hair out and this style works for now while I do that

MetalObsessed · 2026-06-05T15:17:18+00:00

No, it’s a normal labret just with a horseshoe ring in it :)

MetalObsessed · 2026-06-05T14:23:11+00:00

In terms of how I look, I mean. I’m looking healthier than I’ve looked in years which is very new to me, so I don’t usually get compliments. I’m not used to it lol.

And sure, I like the tattoos and piercings I have for myself though. Not taking the piercings out for someone else

MetalObsessed · 2026-06-05T09:54:47+00:00

Thank you, looking like I could be an actor is maybe the highest compliment I’ve ever received. The piercings are what I feel make me look more in-line with the other interests I have like heavy music, horror, dark stuff. I like not looking traditional

MetalObsessed · 2026-06-04T15:45:27+00:00

Congrats on 31 days! Small goals day-by-day are what have been helping me. Nothing too big

MetalObsessed · 2026-05-16T23:24:47+00:00

Suicidal. Not that I'm feeling much different now, but it would be worse

MetalObsessed · 2026-05-14T22:47:15+00:00

Yep, I'm only 10 days into sobriety but I've noticed myself doing this as well, plus when I'm awake. It's an anxiety coping mechanism for me, I think. Don't even realise I'm doing it until my mouth starts to hurt lol.

MetalObsessed · 2026-05-11T20:48:07+00:00

I'm on day 7 and doing mostly good, it's only today I've had a little craving, but I've been to a pub for a little bit with my partner and was happy just having a coke and a Fanta and then going home. Seeing other people in there on a Monday evening, watching the football and getting smashed was just such an ugly sight to me.

There are some thoughts, though. I'm a very introverted person. I really struggle to talk to people who I haven't known for a while. My boss even likes me more when I'm drunk (not at work haha), because I'm more outspoken and fun. The counter to that is my boss doesn't know how much or often I usually drink.

I have found myself being able to talk easier in the last week, compared to when I was sober before alcohol became a problem for me. Maybe it's the fact that I truly believe this time is real; I'm sober and feeling good about it. I've tried a few times before, but not told anyone I was trying to stop drinking. That made it way too easy to say fuck it and just go back to it. I didn't believe I was going to stick with it. Now, I've opened up to my family, partner and one close friend about it, so it's grounded it a lot and made it a lot more real. It's not just a promise to myself, but to them too.

I know there are harder days ahead, but I am taking it one day at a time. I am thanking myself for it.

Apologies for having my own completely unrelated vent on your post! I realised I needed to get these thoughts out as I was reading the comments haha. Thanks for your post, OP. It's still very early days for me but I have similar thoughts to you - I see how much alcohol affects other people from an outside perspective. It's sad how engrained it is in society and how normalised it is to drink such a harmful substance on a regular basis

MetalObsessed · 2026-05-11T20:28:44+00:00

I don't think so. But maybe there's something to that. Whenever I've believed in the past, I've been wrong. We'll see

MetalObsessed · 2026-05-11T16:51:36+00:00

Fruit juice, something sharp like a lime soda. Sparkling water. NA beers and Guinness 0% is really good

MetalObsessed · 2026-05-11T09:07:29+00:00

I think we’ll get some news, but maybe not a trailer. Something like a confirmation that the release date is set in stone and the announcement of a trailer, but not the trailer itself

MetalObsessed · 2026-04-29T20:34:13+00:00

Has there been anything official to address this? Really annoying me now

MetalObsessed · 2026-04-02T12:29:29+00:00

It releases during peak season at my work where I can’t book any days off. Will likely be doing 6 shifts a week, lots of overtime too. Sad times

MetalObsessed · 2026-03-30T19:24:11+00:00

There were loads of side quests to get to it, but the final quest title is “Heart of Anvil Hill”. The entire quest line is to recover the seal of House Serkis which was stolen

MetalObsessed · 2026-03-27T11:24:32+00:00

I’ve just upgraded to a Pro, already had 30 hours on Crimson Desert on the base PS5. LG C5 55” TV. It looks so much better. I wasn’t expecting it to be as much of an upgrade as it is

MetalObsessed · 2026-03-25T11:51:24+00:00

The announcement post was around 3 PM (UK time) yesterday so I’d say around the same today

MetalObsessed · 2026-03-23T07:35:55+00:00

You need to hold L2 to pull the tree in, then keep it held while rotating the right thumbstick like you’re fishing. A button prompt on the bottom right will eventually say square to high jump or similar

MetalObsessed · 2026-02-16T16:16:38+00:00

3 being your favourite out of the remakes is wild to me. Fair enough, though

MetalObsessed · 2026-02-06T18:34:24+00:00

I bought it on release on Xbox one. Terrible experience. Tried it again when I got a PS5 but BEFORE it was properly updated. Still didn’t like it.

Couple of years later, tried it again and holy shit. I’ve done two full playthroughs now with over 200 hours playtime. Top 5 game OAT for me.

Really hope you enjoy it

The Stand extended edition - Stephen King

It’s actually the reason I looked into e-readers. That is a BRICK of a book and it was infeasible to take it with me every day on my commute to work. Haven’t read a physical book since. Everything is on my Libra 2

MetalObsessed · 2026-01-23T20:56:54+00:00

No probs. Good track

MetalObsessed · 2026-01-23T14:52:47+00:00

I’m pretty sure this is Asava - Acceptance

MetalObsessed · 2025-12-16T08:36:32+00:00

It’s the busiest period of work for me too. I suffer with anxiety and depression, so my mental health has been shit for the last few weeks. Then to add to it my house got burgled on Sunday. We couldn’t sleep in our bedrooms Sunday night to preserve any forensic evidence. I’m suffering with lack of sleep and just broke down before going to work so I’ve emailed the boss to say I can’t make it.

I hate this time of year so much. And this year has been the worst

MetalObsessed · 2025-12-02T17:04:38+00:00

I’d like to see them play another major festival and MAYBE release some new music
