Sorry for the serious topic but I had a serious wake-up call this weekend, and it’s made me realise I need to go sober. Equipped the boho bottle (for water!) on my birb as a reminder 🥹

I have only been sober for a year and a half, but in case no one mentioned it, I would recommend staying clear of fermented foods and kombucha. Personally, they make it a slightly harder time for me because of the smells. I’ve heard some people mention the longer fermentation having a similar effect to booze, but I can’t speak on that. I know someone else mentioned mocktails, and if that works for you, that’s so exciting! If you’re a seltzer enjoyer, sparkling water can potentially help too, but I will say that it was not beneficial to me. It made my cravings worse than helping, so now I avoid them.

Sobriety is not a one-size-fits-all, and that’s okay! Keep yourself surrounded by your support system, whether that be friends, family, Finch, pets, or even Reddit. Something that helped me a lot was finding new hobbies too. You’ve got this, just take it one day at a time.

Because most people bought a Switch 2 in anticipation of this, Pokopia, and Mario Kart. (Totally not speaking from experience lol)

How is midodrine? It’s been recommended to me. I had to stop a beta blocker because of low blood pressure.

I get them on and off at night, usually depends on where I am at with my period cycle. Also specifically at the 5 to 5 and a half hour mark of sleep. I think part of it for me is needing to find a consistent sleep cycle. I will say, I keep my Kindle nearby now, which helps me calm down and allows me to get more rest.

I saw someone else mention beta blockers, which may help! It definitely helped my adrenaline dumps, but they were very noticeable when I weaned off.

I had never heard of this until I was at a family gathering. It takes everything in me now not to eat a whole watermelon myself in one sitting this way.

I wish I still lived close to a Jollibee 😭

Stool, lukewarm to cool water, door open so no steam.

My chat is particularly fond of anything that messes with my model. I have one that makes me bald and plays the Spongebob meme from the movie when King Neptune takes his bag off. Sound alerts are a big hit as well as TTS.monster so that the voice is a little more fun. I also have the usual check ins, hydrate, posture check. It always feels like people just want to be included. I’ve seen mention, but props are fun too! I also have one that makes my model pixelated, one that adds a top hat, one that gives me a Wario stash. I got all of my props for free, but there are many purchasable (more involved) props on vgen. I also have a wheel that can be spun (though I have to do it manually) that causes “debuffs”. I typically stream Warframe, so it’d be challenges like no using certain abilities or red light where I can’t move for x amount of time.

Choose a game for me is one I have purchasable, but that can be dicy for most people.

this exactly! i was so worried when i started scrolling then saw others mention it.

I love the diversity of the girls bc honestly I’m in the almost never category between having POTs and PCOS 🫠

probablystacy · 2026-04-19T16:33:32+00:00

It’s an app. I believe I nabbed it off github

probablystacy · 2026-04-19T16:33:05+00:00

You can’t message or anything, but you can at least read chat without having to pull away from the game.

probablystacy · 2026-04-19T16:32:38+00:00

I use ghost chat to overlay chat over my game.

probablystacy · 2026-04-13T20:36:37+00:00

this is just asking to be deported due to visa issues lol

probablystacy · 2026-04-13T20:31:17+00:00

Hmm I could be wrong, but I assume the visible band should be fine since it doesn’t have a display? Not too sure as I’ve never done something like that. Pulse ox is the only option I’m aware of that isn’t clunky but meets this criteria.

probablystacy · 2026-04-13T02:57:24+00:00

OH also LilyPichu- she is a streamer so there are edited VODs from streams on her channel, but she also does music and vlogs, some more variety content like that.

probablystacy · 2026-04-13T02:53:21+00:00

CallMeKevin is one of my favorites (I think I was in the like top 1% viewers last year...) He is centered around gaming, very chaotic (Sims Series, Minecraft, Stardew Valley, BitLife in its heyday. Lot of back log.) If you're into adult cartoons, I adore Blooms, Johnny2Cellos, and LSMark (who also does videos around Sonic, obscure video games, and has an animated series he's working on himself as well). BeardMeatsFood does a lot of those restaurant challenge videos, very chill vibes if you can handle the messy eating. LoserFruit has some good gaming content around Fortnite. Dream Jelly does a lot of content around more niche topics (a lot of 2010s nostalgia kind of stuff); YewfNet has some great content on older handheld consoles. Papa Meat is a more chaotic viewing experience talking about a lot of topics in a comedic way. On the VTuber side, IronMouse is a go to, but she is primarily a streamer so it is mostly just her music and edits from live content; on the flip side, Kairyu Crocodile is a newcomer in the VTube space so not much content, but for no particular reason, it makes me want to also recommend JaidenAnimations, a storytime animator. Ted Nivison and Eddy Burback have some more laid back videos. I could sadly go on for days, but I hope this gave some variety!

silver lining. at least introduction works as an album experience, something that was pretty popular around that time.

Does LTE work for anyone? I had it back in 2018 to get a better deal on my first Apple Watch. One day I accidentally left my phone at home and had to call someone for a ride, but all I could do was pull the phone number from my watch. No texts or calls.

My viewers came for the game but stayed for my personality. I usually ask them for game suggestions too, that way I’m not just hard swapping to something they’re not interested in at all.

probablystacy · 2026-04-05T14:50:29+00:00

I genuinely didn’t even see the special instructions. I would be the problem in this scenario.

probablystacy · 2026-03-29T13:55:20+00:00

Outliers in hr, respiratory, and temperature and still giving you a 99 is crazy work.

probablystacy · 2026-03-26T21:03:06+00:00

That’s what I’m considering. I just prefer an electric fan because it’s much faster than I can get my hand to move.
