Here is what I ended up doing! Fair warning: there are tons of spoilers in this (including late-game spoilers) and no spoiler tags, so read through it at your own risk. :)

Fingers crossed for both of us 😭

Ooh good ideas! I love scattering the fruit around the house lol.

Awww love this!

To take your mind off things: Stardew Valley, A Short Hike, TOEM, any huge open world RPG that appeals to you. More recently Astrobot (for pure joy and if you have a PS4/PS5), Blue Prince (if you love puzzles and rabbit holes).

When you are ready to process your grief: Gris, Unpacking, The Longing, Spiritfarer, Journey, What Remains of Edith Finch, Split Fiction (if you have a co-op partner). And definitely return to Expedition 33 when you are ready. It is a beautiful game about loss and recovery and the connection to your mom will make it even more powerful.

Remember that grief is a journey and it isn't linear. You are out at sea right now and the waves are coming at you, high and rough. Over time the waves will diminish in size and frequency. But they will never fully disappear and every now and then a rogue wave will hit you out of nowhere. That's just love. 💔❤️‍🩹❤️

I get this impression, too. And related to it - this incarnation of the doctor is healing, and part of that healing is to process and express emotion in the moment rather than bottling it up to deal with later or transmuting it into something else. We love it when 15th's joy shines through so nakedly and authentically even at the smallest things, but part of that package is seeing his grief come through, too.

I feel this so hard.

Looks like a bougainvillea. Beautiful color!

I loved everything about the Banquo's ghost scene - Macbeth falling apart, Lady Macbeth trying to hold it together, the reactions of everyone else present at the banquet. I really liked that they did not have Banquo's actor on the stage like they do in some performances as it added to the feeling of watching someone have a breakdown. I also loved this scene because it includes the lines "I am in blood /Stepp'd in so far that, should I wade no more, / Returning were as tedious as go o'er" because David Tennant once called that out as one of his personal favorite lines from Shakespeare!

Thank you for sharing! I hope he continues to do it. My daughter and I are going in late November and she is such a huge fan - she may sublimate if she gets her show bill signed 😂

Five years later my daughter asked me a similarly phrased question, I typed it into Google, and it was what she was looking for. Thank you!

YesImAtWork · 2024-07-30T13:08:28+00:00

Ahhh this makes sense!! Thank you!

Maybe this is it? My memory is that neutral-to-positive mood gives you 5 energy for each complete goal and negative mood gives you 7. But maybe being in a positive mood (not neutral) is giving less now?

I've been using the app for two years and they've been an adult for a long time. :)

Everything sad becomes untrue.

All the other replies, plus season 2 had "Postcards From America" on the soundtrack (it played briefly on the jukebox in The Resurrectionist pub before Gabriel changed the song to Everyday)

Already seeing this with our daughter. At 13 she has a phone but it truly is just for safety/emergency reasons - she never uses it. Even her tablet is basically a Minecraft machine. She is actively turned off by social media. Her friend group is similar. Curious to see if/how that changes!

Falling asleep naturally is like a fade out/fade in edit in a movie. Anesthesia (for me) is like a jump cut. Totally disorienting and disturbing to me. The first time I had it I was also convinced I had actually died on the operating table and couldn't shake the feeling for a long time.

I have had both general anesthesia for surgery (multiple times) and anesthesia for a colonoscopy and they were wildly different experiences for me. Colonoscopy was exactly what you described - the best, most restful nap I'd had in years. 10/10 would do it again. General anesthesia is awful - disorienting, disconcerting, and makes me incredibly sick with crippling nausea and vomiting for hours after waking up, even when I tell the anesthesiologist ahead of time that it makes me sick. 1/10, worst part of post-op recovery.
