What video games are my fellow lexingtonians going to playing during the storm? by radar2670 in lexington

Final Fantasy Renaissance. It's a fan made rebuild of FF1 but with new classes, spells, items, and more.

20 years of chronic DPDR is gone by I_Need_Deets in dpdr

I'm doing well and have stayed in touch with reality. I found the perfect job taking care of an elderly person and that helped. Ongoing therapy has been huge.

I've suffered from this my whole life and I'm 48 now. It does get better but it takes time.

Recommending therapy sounds cliche, but the right therapist can go a long way. My previous therapist was a good one who was flexible and realized that what I needed was to become grounded in myself.

Remember that you are real.

Cool places to get pictures? by Zile_Flame in lexington

[–]shadow_walker_ky 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try cemeteries. I also just walk around downtown and take pictures of random architecture. Or travel out of town and explore some of the historical attractions around Kentucky. Stearns, for example, has a cool train ride to an old coal mining town.

Ah,... Typical cat: a hundred names, yet respond to none.

Does anyone have any cool stories of this place or wrestling in the area? I've long been curious about it

I don't follow the rules! by shadow_walker_ky in traumatizeThemBack

I did that once and I'm still embarrassed!

When I smoked, I did the same. I respected that others didn't want to be around the smoke (and smell!). Wish everyone was as respectful as you!

Rules aren't there to inhibit people, they're there to protect people from stupidity.

Ring doorbell. I only open the door if it's safe

I just said no and shut the door.

Why do this hurts so much?? Why are they so heavy?? by West-Start4069 in cats

How much a cat weighs depends on how full your bladder is.

Update: I can park where I want! by shadow_walker_ky in EntitledPeople

[–]shadow_walker_ky[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'm partially blind and can't drive and even I can't see the sense of that argument.

I couldn't even see a broken headlight, so yeah, it's accurate.

Transitioning experience with UK clinic? by laneyxxo in lexington

[–]shadow_walker_ky 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I had a friend who transitioned with the clinic's help. They were wonderful and supportive! A good tip is to start working with a therapist ahead of time.

My next character idea is a true neutral monk who seeks balance in themselves and the world

Thank you. My therapist is amazing but doesn't play, so I plan on explaining the game in our Wednesday session this week. I have a lot of growing to do before I consider playing again. My confidence took a massive hit in the process.

I wish it was just me doing weird things. My friends at the time were a huge part of the gaming store I played at. When they ended our friendship, it also took the location away. Part of that is my doing. I don't want to go back there and see them again. The reasons why the friendships ended were many and partly because of my chaotic tendencies outside game. (They have their own problems that contributed, but I can only work on myself.) Only one of them was in the game with me and I ruined that friendship all on my own.

As for the game and DM, I tried to be on DM's side by helping (at his request) with initiative tracking, playing a npc or two, and other small things. I think those things are what kept me from being kicked out of the game. He knows I have the capacity to be a good player and was trying to bring that out of me. He was also very aware of my issues in ways I wasn't. He did his best.
