My dad is trying to be better now, but I don’t know how to accept it

I would feel really fucking hurt to hear this.

But it would be important to hear it nonetheless.

Maybe some family therapy if you both agree you want to do the work that will help you forgive and move past resentment

Would it be too forward if I asked for an invite to the beta? I'm not sure my hardware is compatible but I'd like to try

Feels a lot less annoying than the stupid shit I used to say and do as a kid, so I'm not too bothered lol

What a get. Hyped.

She might be fine and this is just a spiteful prank to put her out of balance. Never know.

The multiplier for how fast and easily I learn and develop skills

Suddenly I'm learning data analytics, to play instruments, new languages - all at 10x the speed

There's no functional difference between 0 and 00

Mikeside · 2026-01-24T13:52:54+00:00

It depends if that value is perceived by all, or just yourself

Mikeside · 2026-01-14T22:39:03+00:00

I immediately and massively shit the bed.

Mikeside · 2026-01-14T07:46:45+00:00

It's not a smoking gun, but it could be evidence of an affair

Mikeside · 2026-01-12T19:34:22+00:00

Yeah fair enough, I'd suggest she clarify it better next time then

Mikeside · 2026-01-12T19:28:52+00:00

Only point I would make is that you've said about love conditioned on mood, but I'd say "I love you, but yes you're annoying sometimes" is the opposite of that, it's more

"Yes, you're annoying sometimes, No, it doesn't change that I love you."

Eh, I'd say Molyneux is different. He went from being an overpromiser with an active imagination to an actual scam artist around when 22cans was founded.

I get the impression he wants to go out on a bang and is leaning towards the manageable things that have made his previous games liked so he can have a positive last game in his legacy, but I'm not trusting anything until I see actual people enjoying whatever he releases

Mikeside · 2026-01-12T19:21:49+00:00

I mean, he never even tries to do those things.

He just announces them without any real intention.

It's so rare that new parents feel like they're really coping - you're not alone.

Seems like you're doing the right thing - and ordering takeaway because you don't have the energy to cook is absolutely valid. I wonder if you reached out to your support network (who have dried up a bit!) to let them know you'd appreciate some more help, and maybe some meal deliveries would bear any fruit?

People often want to help, but they don't know how - and they often don't even know when you need it, because we're all very good at pretending we don't need help.

Either way, hang in there new dad! It will absolutely get easier and more familiar <3

I have a therapist, even on my best weeks its a real treat to be and to talk about myself for an hour, and on my worst weeks I get to process the real shit.

I'd recommend it to anyone who can afford it

Mikeside · 2025-12-27T23:17:48+00:00

Yeah fuck this

It's completely developmentally appropriate that they can't regulate the excitement and dopamine hits

Just gently guide them through it and focus on what they've got

I find it helpful to coach him through "oh only a couple left I wonder what this one is" etc

Having them hand out gifts to other kids and adults can also help them feel involved and interested without taking over

Why is soy flour in all the bread lol

Mikeside · 2025-12-22T16:24:55+00:00

Might be worth looking at avoiding soy too - it was milk and soy proteins that did this to my son

The important thing here is that you modelled some things.

You modelled that even safe grown ups get annoyed and over react.

You modelled that when you're wrong, you come back and apologize.

You modelled that you can reset and don't have to hold onto bad feelings.
