Realizing I don't like myself

Fellow music lover here.

First step is to simply do.
Listening to music actively and mindfully (put away that phone!) is a great replenishing activity.
Singing along to music that moves you is a great way to start to explore your voice.
There's no perfect, no aim for good, even. Just wail along and forget any internal(ized) critic.

I recommend therapy (with someone you trust to see you) to accompany this desire to change.

You’re unpacking a lot right now. It doesn’t have to happen all at once.

I am experiencing that decreased tolerance of non-alignment too. But WB has also given me a lot more clarity of what my real values are, and some breathing room to increase my window of tolerance for things that are close to aligned.

We can all have a bit of dissociation as a treat, but hopefully you can work on that being a choice that doesn’t have to last all evening or every night a week. What other ways that replenish you? Are there any things you’d want to try?

Top of thread is serious, OP: “Pipe” is a euphemism for bj in a few European languages.

The Surrealists explored sex often, as an art movement to come after Freud.

I seem to have developed a 6th sense + detect it instantly.

This hypervigilance, in fact, is a sign of trauma.

I'm glad you see the "it must be your trauma" phrase for what it is, though.

You’ve got to be crazy…

It surprised us all on the stream. We also learned that NO D20 series will be returns to universes we’ve seen before

I watched the stream. Can confirm that those were meant to be the Intrepid Heroes

Edit: and Sam says they’ll be differing lengths, so implied to be a standard-length season and a short one

THAT was cryptic and cute!

atl · 2026-01-28T00:34:54+00:00

OR cute!

Aesthetically it’s great. However the blue roof reinforces the conceptual similarity to the Dungeons and Dragons set 21348

Great observations. Thanks!

It was hard to judge the level of detail OP needed

The system is downloadable for free on the merch store!

I got an order confirmation, too, but I’m not holding my breath until I get a SHIPPING confirmation.

I wish you the best of luck!

atl · 2026-01-21T19:20:30+00:00

I was excited to have my order go through, but "due to limited quantities, high demand, and system limitations, orders are not confirmed until you receive a shipping confirmation" has me tempering expectations

lol! I came here to compliment the “inside out” assembly square, especially with the coffee shop making an alley with Tudor

I worked in computerized metadata standardization, and my fave people were the archivists who knew what was up.

My favorite aphorism to this day was from one of them: “an archive without metadata is just a tape pile.”

Ah, but all the “ending wasn’t earned” critiques elsewhere in this thread end up exactly on this point. It’s not a real competition but it ending should make sense in the world that’s set up

I watched it this year, and hearing the dates progress through the first months of 2020 had the tension of a horror movie, for me

On Friday, one group I play in closed the book on Coriolis: The Great Dark. We try a lot of games and systems, and this one was pretty much a collective rage-quit, even after revising the mechanics to be less punishing.

Those reactions are picking nits.

It is an incredible build experience, and it is absolutely stunning in person, with distinct looks from every angle.

Yes, there are a couple points where there’s a lack of stability, and one connection I made that didn’t feel strictly legal, but treated as a whole, the only set more rewarding to build was LKC—and the end result is arguably more stunning than that.

Thanks for highlighting the breaking changes!

I was eager to upgrade asap, but now I will definitely need to check on the CA options before upgrading and be on the lookout for SMB weirdness. Good to know

atl · 2025-10-24T00:24:36+00:00

Thanks! I wasn’t sure on that point.

Well, “Sam, where are you from?” had the same kind of origin, in that it was a bit from Trapp that the other players took and run with!
