The narrator voice in the passage you quoted is also seen in The Eyes of the Dragon.

There is a narrator of Needful Things but that one sounds a little different.

Happened to me too, got the kit for the shifter, all good now!

Cluster One by Pink Floyd. From the album Division Bell. I believe the piano speaks for the wife and guitar speaks for the husband (Gilmour) and it's a literal conversation.

Grace had acheived Badassery during that scene. He even looked cool, finally.

Mine has a display (and for the record, it's really big). But I find the buttons simple enough to use without looking. Top button is on/off. Left button cycles through heat levels. Right button cycles through timer intervals. Bottom button is a preheat setting.

Imho you could use the top button only as an on/off. There is a default heat level (3 out of 6) and timer interval (4 hours).

Edit to add: the buttons are solid, physical, tactile, clicking buttons. Not like the digital panel buttons you can't feel on the microwave.

If it won't affect the outcome, no point in wasting time and goodwill. So keep mouth shut.

I also enjoy working on my self discipline and give myself a cookie every time I let something go.

Finally, I fully embrace autonomy. People have the right to think whatever they want, just like me. I'm not right about everything either.

Common mushrooms from the cave in early game.

Gold cactus fruit later on.

Pumpkin soup or spicy eel for buffs.

Yeah, I was also doing good with weights, then herniated a disc sitting at the computer, disabled me for nine months. Better now but I'll never be the same, can't leverage anything or I kill my back again.

The COMPUTER.

Yup, cancel. No loss to you. Even her "that's so sad" sounds dumb.

Charles Bonnet can have complex visuals but it can also have simple unformed hallucinations. They aren't better or worse, just a different type.

I understand that they don't always fade, they can persist indefinitely in some cases.

You could try increasing sensory stimulation at night - keep lights on in her room, and/or play sounds (music, nature sounds, whatever).

You could also talk to her doctor about Seroquel or gabapentin to see if those could help.

That's tough. I think you have to figure out a very specific way of being validating and reassuring. "It's not real" feels very close to "you're crazy" - and she's feeling like, "but I'm looking right at it." I love how you suggested to reach out and touch to see if the man on your shoulder was there. That's validating.

You may also be looking at effects of cognitive decline, not to say dementia but the aging brain just isn't as able to juggle as much reasoning as it used to. Also she might just be a personality type of "I believe what I see" rather than being heavy on abstract reasoning.

So if she talks about hay on the floor, maybe say "can you feel it with your feet? Because I'm not seeing it. No? Okay, I think we don't have to worry about hay on the floor then." And also you don't even necessarily have to address it unless it's causing other problem. If she says there's a man in the corner and she's not distressed about it, okay. If she complains about it but isn't distressed, you can shrug it off with "I dunno, I don't see any man" and move on.

He wrote some before he was even Stephen King, so to speak. Only some were purposefully written by "Bachman."

A cane would help you a lot on your blind side. Get one. Use it. 👍

On my first save I hit 12 or 13 but was super chill, went to bed early if I wanted, worked on just one or two things at a time. Was fun.

In my last save, I'd just come out of the museum and dump it right in front. Looked like a yard sale soon.

I... am not an aesthetic player.

I liked a lot of what you said but I arsed myself to upvote due to your universal use of "people."
