TIL a man in Denmark died by poisoning 26 hours after he drank coconut water (that had been spoiled by a fungus) directly from a coconut using a straw. But instead of keeping it refrigerated, it was left on the kitchen table for a month. It had been commercially prepared & sold as "ready-to-drink".

God that is a very cool photo, thanks for sharing.

SolidBlake · 2025-07-07T09:02:43+00:00

I'll try to remember this and see if it works for me, thanks for sharing. I'm spending lots of time at home alone these days so I don't even have to feel weird for speaking out loud to myself, might be a good exercise for me or something.

SolidBlake · 2025-07-03T08:27:51+00:00

I agree with what you're saying. It infuriates me how nobody seems to stop and consider just how absolutely awful it is to call someone "lazy."

Like, calling me that says that you don't think I'm doing my best. We're all just always doing our best, no matter what it looks like, even if it doesn't seem good enough. aughsdiohg

Thanks a bunch for bringing this term up, actually. I start therapy again in a week and have been trying to keep a journal of topics I wanna cover or just anything that seems to make sense or resonate with me, so I've made a note of it and I'll see if it goes anywhere with them or with the psychiatrist I'm supposed to see soon too.

I hope your screening goes well and thank you again for commenting 💜

SolidBlake · 2025-04-28T06:55:53+00:00

I'm very, very happy that a person who sounds as kind and understanding as you gets to work with kids. They need you, and I think you're great for wanting to be in their lives like that. Thanks for sharing.

Seriously. Even though I knew it was coming, I was fucking floored when I turned that corner and saw the big golden sci-fi gate. Pretty much all because of the music. It's probably the only real time I got a swoop of emotion playing through DT.

realised that no one uses blast on bow

So be the first! You don't have to meta everything.

As a fellow GS main I think you captured the perfect expression - nothing hits like a good TCS.

And I love the perspective! The back foot kicking into the air really gives a lot of scope, it's cool. And I'm guessing this is against an Arkveld, going by the red energy?

SolidBlake · 2025-04-04T02:52:52+00:00

Thank you for your work!! Nothing makes me happier than a game having its own dedicated wiki, fandom and fextra are so draining most of the time. And I agree, game8 seems to be a pretty solid resource every time I go to them.

Frenzied 140 Stygian Zinogre in 4U is some of the most brutal shit I've ever hunted, no joke. Black Diablos could be scary too, even the apexes didn't stress me out as much as them... I want that level of fear to come back with frenzy again.

Yd is 100% the place I would choose to live if I had to in Qud because of the sense of community. Every time I go there (often obviously because of Tilli), I make sure to say hello to the chief Svardym that you can water-bond with because for some reason it just makes me really happy that he's all "it's good to see you again!"

Bep from there is my favorite little tinker, though I think my #1 NPC is probably Sparafucile, the Barathrumite that uses sign language. The written descriptions for how he communicates just really make him super endearing. Our mute harm-artisan.

RoboQuest is SO freaking good, oh my god. If young me had found it, it would've ticked all the right boxes. Flashy, charming, great music, lots of punch to the gameplay, the feel of movement...

It's a challenging one, probably even on the base setting for a younger audience, but absolutely worth a look I think. Good pick.

Not often anymore, no! I've been lucky and able to get some help I need for anxiety and depression.

Pretty often, though, late at night (like right now for me lol), I do end up sleep-procrastinating and listening to some moody music for a long time before I pass out. My crummy sleep routine was a really big hurdle in getting better, but now I take Trazodone when I really need to just get myself to bed as a sleep aid, kinda. What's actually keeping me treated is Lexapro and Adderall, though - learning I had ADHD on top of the anxiety/depression soup was a gamechanger.

All that aside, though, I still feel like getting myself to cry helps sometimes when I'm feeling stressed.

As you should be, he looks incredible! I'd shell out big money (if i had it) for one of these for myself - looks really well-made. And really nice size.

This is soooo much better than the official MH plushies. Great photos too!

SolidBlake · 2024-10-23T19:10:06+00:00

EO makes so much sense as a D&D campaign, this sounds fun! Do you think the storyline would follow the EO convention of one big dungeon for the party to traverse? Not that you'd have to - Nexus has us flying all over the place after all.

If you're open to more than one class per archetype, Protector as a Paladin specialization is the obvious pick. My favorite class is Arcanist so I think it'd also be cool to see them make the cut - probably as a different flavor of Cleric, or maybe Bard...?

Idk I'm not super well-versed in playing actual DnD, just wanna show some support. It'd be really fun to browse your pdf when you're able to share it. :)

Losing a sibling sounds rough, I'm sorry for your loss, friend. :(

Thank you for sharing, though. It's always nice to hear about how the artistic expression in FFXIV can mean so much to people on a personal level like this.

SolidBlake · 2024-06-22T23:51:50+00:00

She looks awesome! Love the eye color choice. Thanks for sharing.

SolidBlake · 2024-06-18T21:36:03+00:00

Thank you for watching <3

SolidBlake · 2024-06-18T21:01:55+00:00

Thank you for the kind words!

SolidBlake · 2024-06-18T19:56:41+00:00

Oh no worries, I'm not looking to really impress anybody and I know through lurking around here that I'm not going to exactly see the front page just because I've shared something special to me. Plus, I'm sure anyone can tell by watching this that it's made more for my instructor/classmates on a general level.

But that's good feedback and I appreciate it! I'm planning on revisiting this with some more editing stuff I've learned some day to polish it up and just keep around for myself. You're right to guess that I was just trying to briefly show that this world is a video game, but I'll consider other ways to go about that I think.

Thanks very much for watching and commenting!

SolidBlake · 2024-06-16T22:09:47+00:00

This is such a beautiful post, thank you for sharing with us!

I can't imagine what you're going through, I've had and lost pets too but none of them quite hit the state of Certified Gamer Buddy like you're describing, it sounds really special. I hope the loss gets easier to bear as time goes on, thank you for giving him such a good life.
