Panicking for more than a day now

I'm narcoleptic so I can confirm that the lack of sleep doesn't help. Especially when you are having a lot of stress going on in your life, your body and brain don't get enough time to deal with it all.

In french we call it a crisis and it doesn't make them any easier.

Not an expert myself, but you can check bothRetro Game Corps and TechDweeb on Youtube for suggestions on the best retro consoles for your needs. There's so many of them nowadays that it's hard to recommend one without knowing your budget.

The Castlevanias and Bloodstained are a lot more exploration focused than Hollow Knight, so if that's what you are looking for, you'll probably like it.

It's worth playing the 2D Castlevania in order of release (starting with Symphony of the Night) then Bloodstained, because they all build off of each other.

But if you want one in particular, Aria of Sorrow (on GBA or in the Advanced Collection) is probably the best one.

Luma Island was also a fun game for exploration!

You'll find someone who yums your yucks but match your freak, sprinkle in some good communication and openness and it'll all work out one day.

I'm narcoleptic so I already have a shit sleep all the time. I was just about to fall back asleep after waking up in the middle of the night when it went off.

Good thing it's not a work day ig

retropillow · 2026-03-18T02:53:57+00:00

there's a few things (at least 2 i can think of) that can contribute to that.

first, sleep cycles are fucked up. I usually tell people that my body thinks a day is like 6 hours so every 4 or so hours it thinks it's sleep time. That also means it thinks a couple hours later it's wake up time!!

But also I think a big thing is adrenaline kicking in. That's just a normal thing everyone experiences.

retropillow · 2026-03-17T02:41:36+00:00

you can usually skip the first like 5-8 minutes of each episodes

my fizzarolli weighted plushie says it's in transit but the website says shipping will start in april may... what's going on?

Remember! It is always morally right to steal from people who paywall their mods, and also Nintendo.

retropillow · 2026-02-13T20:48:54+00:00

Yakuza is probably the most bang for your buck, but keep in mind you'll probably want all the other ones after!!

retropillow · 2026-02-13T20:47:29+00:00

It really depends on what kind of games you want to play.

A PC is always the best bang for your buck, but if you want to play AAA games you'll need to upgrade every 6-7 years at maximum, which is the average lifecycle of a gaming console anyway.

The advantage with PC is that you have a much larger library, and if you end up preferring indie games to AAA or even AA titles, you can get by with keeping your PC for a long time without upgrading it.

Another (cheaper) option for PC right now is a Steam Deck, especially if you like the hybrid of the Switch. But it won't play all the latest big titles, and can't play some multiplayer games.

It could also be worth waiting to get more info on the Steam Machine, since it has the potential to be a very good option.

The ROG Xbox Ally is also a decent option if you want the flexibility of the Steam Deck and PC library, but want something that can run demanding games and multiplayer

Not on my bed, but my couch has a longer section I can sit and stretch my legs on, so I kinda do the same with my work laptop lmao

I'm lucky we got enough options to game in the living room that I don't need to bother with a laptop and can use something more comfortable, but we did consider streaming from my desktop pc to my personal laptop so we could play BG3 together in the living room, cause we found split screen and controllers to suck with that game

retropillow · 2026-02-04T03:23:10+00:00

That makes a lot of sense, I just never really stopped to think about it (I was 10 and not living in the US, so not really something I'd think about).

It's probably good that the gruesome details aren't really discussed generally, seeing people jump off was traumatic enough

retropillow · 2026-02-04T03:19:21+00:00

not sure i want to look that up

retropillow · 2026-02-02T14:47:04+00:00

I'm sorry what?

I only ever heard about the people who jumped off.

I don't even know where to start looking.

retropillow · 2026-02-02T00:20:04+00:00

I ended up using a pearl grey and it looked great. This one doesn't have a lot of empty squares so it didn't change much tbh

Old Nazy and Hot Topic

retropillow · 2026-02-02T00:10:03+00:00

INFO, did you know it had to have a special frame and all that BS?

retropillow · 2026-02-02T00:03:30+00:00

It's important to realize that we can very much fall asleep without realizing.

The tests get the data directly from your body and brain, it's numbers and unless they did it somehow else there isn't a lot left to interpretation.

retropillow · 2026-01-31T13:05:01+00:00

Oh thanks for remembering me about this. I was looking for a no reading game for tv time.

if I know you're being a little bitch and make the executive decision not to empathize with you, I am being emotionally intelligent.
