Tell me that force apps aren't already closed.

There haven't been any yet.

@mietze said in Fires of Hope: A Star Wars Story:

So you can't make a PC without a player base vote on your concept in competition with others? Or is that just for force apps when/if they open?

And I dunno. I used to play on a ton of SW games and greatly enjoyed it, but never have played force users (or had much contact with known force users).

It's just for force apps!

And I think the votes being done by the playerbase vs. just Staff is an improvement over some games. There will still be favoritism, that can't be avoided, but I prefer it over the 'We deliberated and thought your app was really great! But we decided to go with <Staff bff> instead' you get on some games (not just SW games, mind you).

Okay! Here are the games I have to offer. First-come, first-serve. PM me, yadda yadda.

• Stardew Valley
• World of Goo
• No Time to Explain
• Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP
• Super Hexagon
• VVVVVV
• The Stanley Parable

Edited to add links to the pages for the games. Too headachey to try to explain each. I will say, of the above, Stardew Valley and VVVVVV are my favorites.

I ended up going to urgent care tonight because the migraine spiked to where I couldn't function.

So the "love" part is that the toradol brought me from a 10 down to about a 4-6 range. This is the least pain I've been in for over a week and it's glorious.

@Thenomain

Oh, shit, that reminds me. I was gonna nab that bundle.

Watch here for my own duplicate codes to offer!

@Ashen-Shugar
Sorry to hear about your mother. And your brother's behavior.

I'm not sure I'd have the patience to roast coffee. I only go through rare bouts of drinking it anyway. But you sound about coffee how I can get about tea.

Guess it's not overly crafty, but I write poetry and roast coffee.

This is relevant to my interests. Tell us more!

Also, the hats are gorgeous!

Uh, yeah. Where can I get some Ashen Coffee?

@Ghost

SocialFixer for Facebook. Chrome add-on, so it won't work if you just FB from mobile. But it's got an option built-in to hide all political posts.

I see so much more of what family/friends are actually doing and suffer much less rage.

madelinetosh and Jimmy Beans Wool teamed up for another year-long MKAL. This time, however, instead of just the blanket (not doing another so soon), they also have one with mini balls to make a shawl.

I never wear shawls, but I enjoy knitting them. Then they end up on the wall or draped over a mirror or somesuch.

Anyway, finished off January's (Labradorite) section today (the colorways are all based on semi-precious stones):

The pattern

Over a week of severe, vertigo & nausea-inducing headaches/migraines.

Every. Day. At best the pain will ebb off a bit.

Seeing an optometrist Friday as I'm overdue and eye strain could be it. If not, at least when I go to the doctor I can say I ruled it out.

I love assembling furniture. Even IKEA furniture.

It's like a lovely puzzle. Just leave me to it and I'm a happy camper.

Whether single or in a relationship, cheap candy is the only fuck I give about VD.

I'm also enjoying the many Galentine's Day playlists on Spotify, and the free cookies at the office. Otherwise, no fucks, but I'll always accept free food.

Prior to beginning college anew, I used to tell people 'I went to college just long enough to learn to appreciate free food.'

@Ganymede But we get cheaper candy tomorrow so I think it balances out.

Romance may be dead, but opportunism is alive and well.

Whether single or in a relationship, cheap candy is the only fuck I give about VD.

Largely because I don't want someone to only show me affection on one day out of the year.

First time ever making sausage gravy. Second time ever making a roux.

And holy shit it's good. like, 'I kinda want to share but I also want it all to myself' level of good.

One of the things I've had to learn to do is be more firm with people. More honest, not that I lied before. It was more that I obscured the truth, or worked around it. I've always done my best not to lie, but sometimes I'll withhold information.

Especially if it pertains to me.

"Will you be upset if..."
"Nah, I'll be fine."
(truth: 'I'll be fine eventually but right now yes I am totally hurt.')

A MU* example:
One of the people I'm closest to, IRL/OOC, joined a game with me. We made chars with pretty heavy ties to each other.

I've not been able to get him to RP for the last month and a half. It's starting to negatively impact how I can play my character. And whenever I'd ask about it, he'd want more time. To decide if he was going to be on the game or not.

I finally put my foot down yesterday. I told him basically: 'Hey, if you can't get into the game or the character, that's fine. I'm not going to be upset if you decide to leave. But I need to know because it's having a negative impact on me.'

Used to be I'd just steadily fade off my character rather than make my needs known. So I do consider this a win. Being able to acknowledge that my needs/wants are just as valid as someone else's.

@Ganymede

That does, honestly, sound like depression to me. My depression, at its worst, is not a sadness. It's an emptiness. These states where I don't bother with anything because what's the point? Where I don't MU*, I don't play games, I don't read, I even barely watch TV. I can barely arse myself to do my job well because of the sense of 'why bother.'

Depression gets this... rap as being a state of sadness, but it's not. Not just sadness. For some people it is, sure. But that's why there's this whole idea that 'just look on the bright side!' will fix it. When I'm depressed, I can look at the bright side, sure. Before I got on my current meds, I did that whole thing all the self-help books and sites and shit recommend. Every night, I came up with three unique things to be thankful for. Every night. And y'know what? It made me feel worse. Because I could see, logically, that I was thankful and they were good, but I couldn't feel it.

It's that... inability to access the more upbeat/happy/good feelings. That's depression. And sometimes you do slip to the other end of the scale into the sad/morose, but most often it's into a realm of nothingness.

I just finished the pilot for Legion and I think I'm already in love.

It's like Marvel meets Twin Peaks and it has Aubrey Plaza. I'm a happy camper.

@Thenomain

My embroidery is all by hand. Someday I shall have an embroidery machine so I can design fancier stuff...

...but I'd bet you could find someone with a machine. There's often folks out there who will put embroidery on things on commission.
