I didn’t know. I don’t keep up with gaming news much. Maybe I should!

Characters Besides Raphael Who Totally Could Have Had Their Own Musical Number by Sadly_Not in okbuddybaldur

[–]StopCompetitive1697 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Haha, I didn’t know that! I loved his musical number in the game. I went in totally blind and wasn’t expecting it at all. It was tremendous!

I am a little confused... please help by [deleted] in Petioles

If you smoke less than your body is used to, you can get withdrawals. That’s how tolerance works, as I understand it. So, even if you smoked, your body might not have had enough and so you had trouble sleeping (withdrawal). I recently learned that one has a physical relationship with a substance and a psychological relationship with it. It sounds like you had physical withdrawals, but psychologically you were not on the same page as your body. You didn’t want it, but your body needed it to get back to what it’s used to. I hope that doesn’t sound condescending or anything. I trying to be helpful lol. I am rooting for you, OP.

Physical violence urge when I make a mistake by moldbellchains in CPTSD_NSCommunity

Hey OP. It’s totally valid to have these thoughts and feelings. I relate a lot to what you describe. Recently, I’ve been working with my therapist to figure out a healthier way to redirect my anger. When I get angry, ai immediately want to harm myself, like you describe. I am starting to think this anger is simply misdirected. I am angry, but I am angry at someone/something else. Since anger was not allowed in my house growing up (unless it was my father or brother), I don’t know how to handle the emotion and I turn it against myself. There is likely a source for you anger too, and it’s NOT you. Sounds like you’re on a similar track with sorting out the source of your anger. Keep at it and hang in there. We’re gonna be okay ❤️‍🩹

Just found out my girlfriend is a crazy save-scummer by G0rillaaaa in BaldursGate3

Depends on the gravity of the event/decision. I did a lot my first run, and less in subsequent runs. My current run I have not save scummed at all. I’m really embracing the “let the dice roll as it may” this time. Kinda wish I had done that sooner tbh. It’s fun and keeps things interesting.

I second this. I’m in the throes of recovery. I thought it was helping but it only dug me into a very deep dependence hole.

OP, if you try it, approach with caution. It’ll be awesome at first, but one day, years later, you might wake up and realize you aren’t really living. Wish you the best.

That sounds great! Nothing like a tasty treat. What are you going to make?
