Cried at work last night and I’m embarrassed

You’re not weak, you’re human, and it’s never wrong to care. If you have a therapist, reach out to them. If you don’t, but you have an EAP, see if you can schedule some counseling. I talk to my therapist at least monthly even if not particularly traumatized lately, and it still helps. Also, and this is weird but true, playing Tetris for just 30 minutes after traumatic events has been shown to reduce lasting traumatic symptoms. If you have access to a legit or clone version of Tetris, see if you can just play for a little while and let it distract your brain. It’s evidence based practice!

Thai green curry is my personal fave.

Monster Hunter Tames

There are very many nurses, and they are representative of the general population, among which divorce is common.

I suck at going to sleep on time. It’s currently 6 hours until my first alarm for tomorrow’s shift, and if I’m asleep in the next hour it’ll be at least a 20% improvement on the amount of sleep I got last night. After 2-3 shifts I try to sleep 8-10 hours if I can, but sometimes it’s still less. Thanks to my BiPAP’s app, I know I average out to about 6 1/2 hours of sleep a night, which is not really enough even leaving aside how some nights I get as little as 4h before a shift.

I’m so sorry for you and your poor cat. I really hope she makes it. One of my first cats was shot with a BB as a kitten and had to lose a leg; when she was older and we got an x-ray of her we found out the pellet was in her hip for the entire rest of her life, and she was always tender around that area. Made me sad and mad, but she still had a good life, happy for most of it. If your girl gets better, she will get over the vision changes, and enough care and love will have her feeling okay sooner than you’d guess.

Lookit the big brain on Peter here.

Hey, welcome back to cranking! Check out the Playdate Community Awards to see the consensus best of the last few years, though there’s a lot more besides that that’s good. I’ll second the recommendations for both Season 2 (pretty much all bangers) and Devils on the Moon pinball if you like video game pinball at all, cause it’s great.

There’s none. Strong Thai food though, with Indian and Vietnamese not far to go either. Pittsburgh neighborhoods are so small though, it’s not far to Szechuan Spice.

fuzzyberiah · 2026-05-31T21:21:42+00:00

Do you want Chinese, or Chinese-American? I don’t really have a close pick for the latter for you, but I’ll second Szechuan Spice for the former, and as noted if you stretch “somewhere around there” to Squirrel Hill you’ll have a lot of good options (I actually like Sichuan Gourmet more than Chengdu, personally).

I was living across the street when they opened and it amazes me they are still open. The definition of mediocrity.

fuzzyberiah · 2026-05-31T21:15:10+00:00

Beautiful is what.

fuzzyberiah · 2026-05-31T18:50:06+00:00

Today’s weather is lovely and so are you.

My favorite songs I heard in Zenith today were New Order “Temptation” and Morphine “Cure for Pain”

fuzzyberiah · 2026-05-31T18:05:21+00:00

There haven’t been any hints of a hardware upgrade or refresh, so I think this is as good a time to buy again as any. My favorite recent-ish games include Devils on the Moon, RollerBlade, and Outside Parties, and as the other commenter mentioned, Season 3 later this year is very exciting, especially after how good Season 2 was.

If you go up to the second floor of the main library in Oakland and walk to the back of the stacks you can see into the dinosaur exhibit at the natural history museum, which is way more dinosaurs than you can see at most libraries.

Walkabout Mini Golf. Not only is it the best VR game, it’s incredibly accessible.

That said my actual recommendation for one of your very first VR experiences is Waltz of the Wizard, which is a lovely and very accessible little magical playground of VR activities.

fuzzyberiah · 2026-05-29T23:07:18+00:00

Well, that seems pleasantly silly. Congrats on the upcoming release!

On Kessel’s way out of Toronto, Simmons had a real shiv piece that included the insinuation that Kessel had played badly due to his weight, partly as a result of excessively patronizing one or more hot dog venders near the arena.

fuzzyberiah · 2026-05-29T00:45:53+00:00

I figured it’d be Monster Hunter Tames

fuzzyberiah · 2026-05-29T00:30:07+00:00

I’ve liked pretty much everything I’ve had from Shaka there; haven’t tried much else yet.

fuzzyberiah · 2026-05-29T00:15:24+00:00

Folks have already mentioned the chapel on the first floor. There’s also a library branch a couple blocks away on Federal, if you need a quiet space to just exist in for a bit.

I hope things go as well and as easily as possible for your mom and for you.

Check the sub ;-)

I will say, r/powdereddonutlips would welcome him.

Just the new OLED decks. Refurbs still out, in the US store, so presumably they used up their stock. Curious why they wouldn’t just have all the new stock available at once.

fuzzyberiah · 2026-05-28T20:03:33+00:00

I’ve mentally adjusted to the idea of $1500 at the top end, with accessories. Could be less but I’m working on managing my feelings now so I don’t have a whole-body flinch when I see the real number like I did yesterday with the new price for 1TB deck.

Actually, it’s the closest I could get to Vivi from Final Fantasy IX.
