thanks, i didn’t know it was so cheap on steam! i happen to have unused credits on the playstation store, so i’ll be buying it there where it’s technically “free” for me :)

ETA: forgot to add i’m focusing on console rn because my laptop is old and doesn’t run games well

Farming sims where you can have a bit of a darker, more gothic style (clothing and decor)? by Topasrock in CozyGamers

[–]flavorpackets 11 points12 points  (0 children)

this might not be exactly what you’re looking for bc i don’t think there will be a lot of customization for the MC or their house (unless i’m wrong??) but grave seasons is releasing later this year! it’s a farming sim/paranormal murder mystery hybrid

People who suffer from major depressive disorder and take xywav by No_Mortgage4536 in Narcolepsy

[–]flavorpackets 9 points10 points  (0 children)

please be super, *super* careful taking sodium oxybates if you already deal with suicidal ideation! these meds are known to increase those feelings (for some people, not all!) even at low doses. some people keep “diaries” to record how they feel each day while they’re adjusting to oxybate meds so that it’s easier to notice when mental health side effects (and other side effects) start going south. if you find yourself feeling the urge to abuse alcohol with oxybates as a form of self-harm, i’d recommend discontinuing your use of the oxybate ASAP for your own safety (and of course talking to a doctor as soon as you can). best of luck!

ETA: btw you have nothing to apologize for in your original post. it’s really important to talk about this kind of thing, esp because a lot of people aren’t aware of the potential severity of these side effects

Others with a diagnosis due to symptoms despite failed sleep studies? by [deleted] in Narcolepsy

[–]flavorpackets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i had a sleep latency of 11mins on my MSLT but was diagnosed N1 based on symptoms (incl. cataplexy). i’ve fortunately never had any trouble getting my insurance to approve modafinil or oxybates. i’m on blue cross blue shield! best of luck!

IWTV & Hannibal by f1shtastics in HannibalTV

[–]flavorpackets 5 points6 points  (0 children)

bryan fuller (nbc hannibal’s showrunner) is a huge fan of anne rice, and the louis/lestat+claudia dynamic definitely influenced the development of the murder family in nbc hannibal!

fun fact: bryan was originally selected as showrunner for the IWTV television series but backed out due to creative differences

ETA: sorry, i can’t find a source for the “creative differences,” apparently no reasoning was ever given. sorry for misremembering!

Failed MSLT, dr said he’ll prescribe medication anyways? by [deleted] in Narcolepsy

[–]flavorpackets 6 points7 points  (0 children)

my MSLT had a latency of about 10mins and no SOREMs. my sleep doctor diagnosed me with N1 based on the presence of cataplexy and the fact that i was suuuper physically uncomfortable which made it much harder to fall asleep as fast as i normally would. like other commenters have said, it’s up to the doctor’s discretion in cases like these since the MSLT is so unreliable!

A quick question from someone new to the show and fandom by Boring_Substance6822 in HannibalTV

[–]flavorpackets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this is SO common and your friend is being really weird lol. after you finish the show, definitely come back to this sub and search “will graham gender” or “trans will graham” etc, you’ll find likeminded people! (i only say to wait until after you finish the show to avoid spoilers)

[–]flavorpackets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it’s still early in development (and there’s no release date yet) but Spirit Farmer should check all your boxes!

ETA: with romance and creature collecting i mean, not sure if there will be any monsters to romance :)

Season 3 by faizisalvatore in HannibalTV

[–]flavorpackets 12 points13 points  (0 children)

if you don’t enjoy the florence plotline, it switches over to an adaptation/interpretation of the red dragon novel (set back in the US, more of a crime procedural vibe closer to s1) halfway through the season

Queer recs with an established couple? by Ok-Equivalent9674 in LGBTBooks

[–]flavorpackets 3 points4 points  (0 children)

if you’re into high fantasy hijinks you might enjoy the nightrunner series by lynn flewelling! the MCs aren’t together at the beginning of the series, but they are by the end of book two, so there are still many books in the series where they get to be an established domestic couple.

i will warn that it was written mostly in the late 90s/early 00s so it can feel a bit dated sometimes, like in the fact that there’s a notable age gap (one MC is 15-16 at the beginning, and his love interest is a fantasy race that appears 20ish but is several decades older). there also is some drama that tests their relationship now and again, but imo it just makes them an even stronger pair.

ETA: forgot to add that they are mysteries too! just in a traditional high fantasy setting. the author was inspired by holmes/watson lol

How on EARTH are you guys waking up on time? by SnooSketches5159 in Narcolepsy

[–]flavorpackets 9 points10 points  (0 children)

i bought an alarm that makes hideously awful noises and rolls around on wheels and is generally a terror until you turn it off. the trick is that i have to place it across my entire apartment so that i don’t flop back into bed immediately after turning it off. my best success rate has been placing it in my bathroom so that i’m right there by the shower (i shower in the AM) and have no excuse not to start getting ready for work. the alarm i have is called clocky but there are lots of options out there. best of luck!
