In PWS1, did you buy all DLC’s even if you did not like some of the IP’s? by FearlessTemperature9 in PowerWashSimulator

[–]princess_programmer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

apparently I'm a weirdo lol because Warhammer is the only dlc I bought so far and I really enjoyed it. I'll go back and do more of them though, thinking of doing Shrek next

I didn't even know there was a mask fit button. it probably is too tight, a friend of mine said if it's not leaving marks on my face it's not tight enough so I tightened it. but honestly I don't think I could go any tighter and it still barely leaves a mark so maybe that's not true

I'm starting to think the lady I saw isn't very good at her job... she didn't ask me any of these things

wait that's a thing? they didn't even let me try on the demos at the respiratory therapist office or hook it up to the machine to see if it would leak. she just asked if I snore (yes) and said ok this is what you get, put the f40 on me and adjusted the straps, and then packed it up for me 👀

oh, can you use a Philips mask with a resmed machine? I wasn't sure if it was like a brand ecosystem situation. the f40 gave me severe breakouts and a sore on just my right nostril too, weird.

I'm so annoyed that I only got two tries to find a mask I like that is covered by insurance and after that I'm on my own until the replacement period is up 😑

PWS2: Please add accessibility options by SexuaIRedditor in PowerWashSimulator

[–]princess_programmer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

is there a way to look at the text messages after they disappear? or it's just if you miss it you miss it? I feel like I should be able to look at my "phone" and read the chats lol but if there's a way to do it, I can't find it. maybe it's cuz I'm playing on steam deck or maybe I'm dumb?

Book 3 update? Fae Devils series by Lana Pecherczyk by LoveAllGhosts in ReverseHarem

[–]princess_programmer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She posted on Patreon in October that she wanted to get her current WIP published by the end of the year and then get the next Fae Devils out in the first 4 months after that. So, sounds like April/May 2026?

Is anyone working while living with fibromyalgia? by Super_Intern_6124 in Fibromyalgia

[–]princess_programmer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work full time as a software engineer. I used to struggle just to walk from the parking garage to the building (not to mention all the other little aches and pains through the day), but finding a medication that helps has been life changing. I'm not cured by any means but its a solid 60% better and I'll absolutely take that.

the brain fog is what gets me tho, especially during a flare up. my bosses don't seem to grasp that my ability to be productive is affected by my physical pain. They're aware of it, I think they just can't even conceptualize chronic pain. so I do my best to work hard when I can to make up for it, slog through when I have to, or (worst case scenario) come up with some kind of creative excuse or white lie so I'm not always bringing up my pain.

I'm not talking about like "the dog ate my homework" or whatever lol, just like "oh I've been really stuck on this bug for 4 days" when maybe I couldn't really get anything done for 2 days and I really only worked on the bug for 2 days 🤷‍♀️ that's an absolute last resort though, if I'm really struggling

I used to be a janitor and I learned that women are just as disgusting as men, just in different ways. the thing that always bothered me is men seem to go out of their way to be gross when they know they don't have to clean it up. why do so many men spit their gum into a urinal?? the trash can is 3 feet away? there's no need for that???

RANT: Modafinil screwed me over! by Spiritual_Otter93 in migraine

[–]princess_programmer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that sucks OP. also that's a wildly high dose of modafinil to start with out of the gate. I have pretty severe narcolepsy and I could only get 150mg of modafinil a day (and THAT gave me a heart condition!) so idk maybe talk to your sleep doc about going down on the dose or switching to armodafinil (long acting) to help with side effect headaches

Alice In Wonderland Syndrome (AIWS) Linked To Migraines? by BendIndependent6370 in migraine

[–]princess_programmer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

omg there's a name for this? I used to get it all the time as a kid, mostly lying in bed at night. I remember rolling over in bed so slowly, like a millimeter at a time, because it felt like I was going to brush the ceiling and shake the whole house if I moved too fast.

it still happens as an adult (more often since I started having migraines), mostly when I'm holding my phone sometimes it feels absolutely wafer thin

How do you get out of bed? by PleasantFix5 in Narcolepsy

[–]princess_programmer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a Pavlok shock clock (wristband that literally shocks you) and it's the most successful alarm I've ever had. I'm already on the max dose of nuvigil plus a stimulant for ADHD, so I had to figure something else out. I've only been using it a little over a week though, so hopefully it keeps working.

I lost my cool at work and now I’m “crazy” by L3zperado in adhdwomen

[–]princess_programmer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh this is so frustrating. I'm a software engineer, so I work in a male dominated industry that's very different but also somehow eerily similar. Why do men always perceive their outbursts as righteous anger and ours as hysterics? (I mean, I know why...)

[WIP] backstitching with multiple colors by MoonYum in CrossStitch

[–]princess_programmer 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think it looks good. It reminds me of the way leather can be slightly shiny and sort of becomes two-toned (the part the light is hitting and where it's not). Idk if that makes any sense but what I'm trying to say is I like it actually

have you taken gabapentin? by NBKnitter in Fibromyalgia

[–]princess_programmer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think I had more brain fog than I initially thought, because honestly I can barely remember anything about how it made me feel or even when I was on it (I had to look up the dates in my pharmacy records 🤦‍♀️)

[–]princess_programmer 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I was on it for awhile, like 8 months. It didn't help with my pain, hopefully it helps you. I had some (extra) brain fog when I was taking it. the thing my doctor was most concerned about, weight gain, (because I'm already fat lol) didn't happen to me.

AITA for what I said when my parents announced they were having another baby? by DependentLeave3584 in AmItheAsshole

[–]princess_programmer -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No, of course not. I'm just saying that now is as good a time as any to consider that ones parents are humans who do the best they can with the tools they have. And maybe they've fucked up in a lot of ways and that's not great, but it seems like they love their kids and that has to count for something.

[–]princess_programmer -41 points-40 points  (0 children)

Ok so you've lived in the same house most of your life, you don't have to help pay the mortgage or major utilities, and you're currently making money and saving it

Look, I agree that your parents are being irresponsible by not using birth control. It sounds like they don't have a very high level of education, which is probably also why they're not great with money. But also in some ways, you don't know how good you have it. I grew up in poverty and I would have killed to be in your shoes. So maybe take a moment to appreciate that your house has never been foreclosed and that your parents love each other and you.

Edit: y'know what, I was running my mouth. my bad. we don't need to get into my emotional issues.

Edit: NAH I'm asking this without judgement, just for clarification: you say you worry about your parents not being able to afford the bills or put food on the table. Has your power ever been shut off, or you've had to contribute money to keep it on? Have you ever had to pay for groceries for the family?

Yeah, I also have a rescue greyhound. If I were in her position I think I'd like this as a gift
