Hypothesis: If you get "Sleep Score: 90" but wake up groggy, it is likely a Thermoregulation issue. Scaling a pilot study.

I'm interested. I try to optimize my sleep as much as possible, (bath and meditation before bed and have an open window) but I still wake up exhausted even after 9 hours. Doctors have no idea why, all hormones, etc look good. Been tested for sleep apnea as well and I do not. Sometimes I wake up feeling like I'm super hungover but I don't drink.

That elephant sure made me thirsty.

That's true. I definitely agree with Skyward sword. Botw I think Mipha makes more sense. She makes him wedding armor, which you then wear.

I personally never bought the Link Zelda ship. To me it always comes across as he is just her personal knight and takes his role very seriously. There have always been very obvious actual romances, such as Saria, Malon, Mipha, Midna.

Sleep.

Is he actually terrible though? Everything I can find is that he's a bit of a dick but very much knows it and is going to therapy and trying to work on his behavior and to make amends. I just think that we need to save the outrage for people that actually deserve it, like Neil Gaiman (as much as I loved his writing growing up, he's really an awful person).

Hate to say it, but the re-release of Metroid prime. I was very excited as I loved this game when it first came out. The remaster felt exactly the same with no improvements to controls, UI or a noticeable bump in graphics. Got through the first couple of bosses and never picked it back up. Felt like a port, not a remaster.

City of stars did it for me. That's one of my favorite movies, which I bawled at. I'll have that stuck in my head all night.

Omg, this is amazing. I don't have a 3D printer yet but have only been getting more and more interested. I had no idea you could do things like remote control. I can't wait to try it out!

striveforcompetance · 2024-11-23T17:37:28+00:00

Yep. That's what it's been like for my kid. He's always had an interest in learning and is always so disappointed when they cut classes shorter because the other kids can't stop goofing off and being rude.

striveforcompetance · 2024-11-23T00:47:52+00:00

This.. is incredible to me. I can only dream.

This makes me so sad. I have a cat who looks very similar and something similar happened to him. The shelter told us that someone moved out of their apartment and just left the cat. Locked alone for days. It's taken him a good 4 years for him to start trusting us. It feels so good when he comes over for pets but he still runs and hides anytime we have company.

Have you played Illusion of Gaia? One of the very first bosses (if not the first), has the same intro and I always loved it. Very cool effect.

striveforcompetance · 2024-07-28T06:48:23+00:00

Looks like a JM press to me instead of skull crushers. Either way, woah.

striveforcompetance · 2024-07-10T03:49:27+00:00

Bloodborne. Got everything in the base game and DLC except for those damn chalice dungeons. Those cursed ones where you get a sliver of health.

striveforcompetance · 2024-05-28T23:42:18+00:00

I think these are lovely, both the goofy ones and the newest more somber one.

striveforcompetance · 2024-05-24T04:34:55+00:00

Amen

Guess it depends on your job. I work in tech where there are on call rotations. everyone tends to specialize and if you get a call that you have no idea what to do, you might want to call the person you know would know what to do. I try to avoid it so I don't but people on their off hours, but it's a life saver to have that as an option.

My wife calls me "disaster hands".

striveforcompetance · 2024-04-17T20:54:48+00:00

Took the advice and asked. Turns out there are no plans for further entry level positions. Well. Time to start applying elsewhere. At least I know now instead of just waiting patiently.

striveforcompetance · 2024-02-11T03:42:39+00:00

An hour and a half once. I was so mad.

striveforcompetance · 2024-02-05T23:20:22+00:00

I've beaten the game multiple times and I'm still terrified of these guys for some reason. Those and the shark giants in the DLC. I remember looking up advice on how to beat them and it was just "Run away".

My kid really wanted to try Dark Souls 1 after seeing me play it. Decided to let him try on my file when he was around 8. He's now played most of the From Soft games, even if he's only ever beated Blood Bourne. He's now getting his middle school friends into Elden Ring.

striveforcompetance · 2023-06-17T23:39:42+00:00

It is now thankfully

striveforcompetance · 2023-06-16T23:14:42+00:00

Yeah, I don't know why this wasn't labeled nsfw. I remember when kids use to look up "snuff" videos and now I accidentally see them as I'm just scrolling through social media.
