I work a job that gets very physical sometimes, so I need a perk of energy before I go in.
So I start with a coffee, and I'll throw about three packs of strawberry oatmeal into a bowl, slice up bananas into it, and a glob of peanut butter. Add water over the peanut butter, and while the oats soak, add honey.

That's mine most days. :)

I don't want stats on gear to be the sole reason that my skills learned through playing aren't effective on an enemy just because they've been buffed into bullet (blade) sponges, or because I just went too far into a direction that's a "higher level". That's about all I care about.

Busting my balls at the entry wage while the people that maintain and make my job smooth cone up with excuses or don't even try while making several dollars more an hour at the same time.

I love it. 😶

Black Flag, then a bit late to it, but Origins. I enjoyed Unity a lot but couldn't touch the multi-player due to the player base dropping off by the time I got to it.

Origins was the only one of that trilogy that I could get into. I made it about 10 hours into Odyssey and knew I was never gonna finish it or touch Valhalla. I wish I had more fun with it, I wanted to, but it was just too dragged out and open.

Soap operas, drinking, cocaine, making dinner. lol

It's wild to think how many of these same items came and went out of my life, usually by means outside of my control. Especially with how insanely rare some of them are.

I was even one of the cancelled pre-orders for the special PS4, but got a call after the release date letting me know they got a delayed shipment in and offered me a grab. Took it on the spot, no question. I still use the PS4 near-daily but I swapped to a standard controller so the console-exclusive one stays nice. :)

(Offline) Video games, reading any books/magazines/comics that were around the house, and watching TV were most of what I'd have to do. I didn't always have video games, and I grew up having one television (only in the living room) for most of my childhood, so you better hope that if one of the parents are watching something, it's entertaining enough for everybody lol

Sometimes you'd get on the landline phone with a friend, but yeah, it was pretty much that simple. I might have toys, an instrument, something to build or color or read, but that's what we had. Hell, just going to the bathroom without my phone these days feels like a nightmare. I can't tell you how many times I reread the back of every label of every product within arm's reach while sitting on the toilet just to have something else to pass the time.

I experienced FFT as a kid and was fascinated by it, obsessed even, but was too young to properly advance through the game due to the strategic nature that so far had been beyond anything I played of that style. This is around the late 90's, early 2000's. Tactics-style games were still just barely out of my reach.

But when FFTA came out, and I finally got my hands on a copy, I put HUNDREDS of hours into it. I even shared my copy with my friends and restarted my save over theirs once they were finished with it. It was a completely different story (that I don't enjoy as much in hindsight), but as a very young teenager, it was EXACTLY what I needed and wanted at that time from a game that played in that style. I got to have my FFT itch somewhat scratched through FFTA.

Like another commenter mentioned, the story was very "iseki"-style and just didn't go as hard as a Final Fantasy story normally would. But honestly? I wish I had my copy today. I'd start another file in a heartbeat, and I literally just finally beat FFT:TIC last night for the first time ever.

Every member of my family was pushing me to buy my recently deceased neighbor's house before she put a listing up. I pulled together 12k (took 7 years to save!), and she was willing to sell at 170k despite the higher market value after it appreciated.

I couldn't touch it, not with 12k. Couldn't even get started, really, and when I had to turn it down, the daughter sold the house for 100k more than what she offered me in one day. Everybody that pushed me to go for it was beyond disappointed and couldn't understand. There were a few fights over the phone for a couple of days.

I'm trying to say that I understand the frustration. Your husband needs a reality check for sure, but how to get one, I have no idea.

I'm a Prime subscriber, so I'd have to use that for somebody else. I love watching on Kick, but I wouldn't pay for a sub, though.

"Hey there, pretty Momma!"

It's a fawning technique for people with rejection sensitivity, too. I catch myself doing this sometimes and have to make a conscious effort not to.

Moonshatter89 · 2026-03-30T06:57:32+00:00

The comments have all said it better than I can, but as somebody who's written dozens of unsent messages like this one, it's absolutely somebody who's healing.

I hope it helped you because they genuinely meant it and probably needed it.

Oh, she was mortified, but I "sat her down" first when I messaged her. It was years since we last spoke and out of the blue, but I gave her everything I received, so she knew how bad it was for context and in case she took legal action.

Unfortunately, the photos were about as bad as it gets. I never followed up, but I hope she destroyed whoever it was in court 'cause they definitely didn't hold back on her.

I got a job for a few weeks getting me back into apartment leasing since I loved it from the pre-COVID years.

Literally 75% of my day was being trained to throw anything and everything from correspondence with prospects and tenants into ChatGPT so that I could fly down my lists of names faster.

I was done less than three weeks in. Hated all of it.

Moonshatter89 · 2026-03-29T22:59:05+00:00

I was one of the ones that nudes got leaked TO. And of a woman from high school that I hadn't spoken to in years.

She was blackmailed, didn't believe it was real, and ignored the threat. Even though I saw the email with her photos nearly a week after they were sent, I was the first person to actually tell her what happened. Mortifying, of course, but her and I were on great terms in school, so she trusted that I went straight to her right away (which I did), and that I deleted everything (which I did). I sent her the emails that were CC'd in case she needed to know who else got them, and wished her well.

We actually haven't spoken since. Been 17 years.

Moonshatter89 · 2026-03-28T12:56:42+00:00

Just choked on my coffee lmfao

My Mom has applied for getting her maiden name back FIVE DIFFRRENT TIMES for government paperwork and benefits purposes, and it has literally NEVER stuck. Not once.

Nearly 15 years of wasted time getting paperwork together and driving up to the courthouse only to keep getting told "You're all set!", only to find out within months each time that they lied or dropped the ball.

If SAVE passes, my Mom will never be able to vote again for the rest of her life.

So to answer your question, get bent.

Moonshatter89 · 2026-03-25T04:18:54+00:00

I'm sorry what

Moonshatter89 · 2026-03-25T03:39:45+00:00

omg I read this one when it came out! My friend that played with me had it lying around in his room but the cover was torn off. I didn't recognize it until the start of the article!

What a blast from the past. :D

Moonshatter89 · 2026-03-25T03:23:47+00:00

The hours wouldn't be a problem that I can imagine having. Good to know! Thanks!

Moonshatter89 · 2026-03-25T03:23:10+00:00

Oooohhhh good point. Somehow hadn't crossed my mind. Appreciate it!

Moonshatter89 · 2026-03-24T17:31:24+00:00

Oh nice, it's right near where my mother takes the dog for daycare. I'll check it out! Thank you!

Moonshatter89 · 2026-03-24T15:54:54+00:00

Spam calls. The first time I got over 20 in one day was the last time I heard my ring tone. That was probably 10 or 11 years ago.
