Still not too bad but I put on the oblivion soundtrack after I saw mmarsus meme and now I'm missing life
-
Not too bad, I have no economic pressure since my job is independent from the economy.
My university just announced that next semester gonna be online only as well. Gonna play more vidya and be a total slob until next April :rejoice

Listen to the Morrowind soundtrack instead, boo.

People hated Oblivion for dumbing TES down. Even though I like me some jank in my games(especially the Eastern European kind) but Morrowind was too much jank for me. :doge

Meh, not great but not awful. Can’t wait to get out the house lol

I bought Morrowind on Xbox last year and ended up playing it for at least 15 or 20 hours. :heh

Imma be real with you dogmod.... The Morrowind main theme is the best series theme but tes4/5 have the better soundtracks.
You're probably right, but the Morrowind soundtrack is buried so deep in my brain that I can't really be objective about it.

A lot of mods can alleviate the janky stuff at this point, but I actually like the dice roll nature of the combat. You actually don't miss much on a weapon you choose to specialize in because you'd know that if you could actually play an RPG you dumb fucking casual.

Duel me in Pokemon you dumb biatch :bolo

Ok. Ups and downs. Dad died but feel good about the future. Haven't had such strong desire to live and make a mark in a long time. Somehow my dad's death revitalized a part of me that just wants to be the best and I've actively taken steps to make that happen.

I was doing OK until my back went and I missed some important deadlines. Trying to get back on track though.
-
i'm personally ok but a very close friend of my girlfriend died two weeks ago
also a lot of my friends live in or near The Chazop and are heavily involved with organizing it and the protests so I'm always fretting about how it's going and feeling guilty I'm not doing much myself

First you couldn't handle P3FES's lack of party control, now you admit you suck at Morrowind.

Ya, think I slipped a disk about 4 weeks ago. I'm feeling better now, but pretty scared to try to exercise and stretch again, which sucks.
-
i'm so sorry
anything that can be done?
-
Think I just need to go easy on it - I haven't been to the doctor (did a tele-doc). Think I need physio though but they were online last I check still.
-
no more backshots :asuka

business is bad, i took a hefty pay cut and subsequently couldn't cut down my hours, then i also took a second small job to make up a little extra, my partner is employed part time and i'm also studying towards finishing a degree i dropped out of a long time ago. pretty good really! feeling the burn though. two british broads that got compassionate exemption from quarantine to go to a funeral here brought in covid after 24 days of no new cases and it flipped me out a lil' yesterday as it feels like we're so close to getting back to "normal", but then i chilled tf out.
similar to shost, ive never been a house plants guy but i now have ~15 of 'em (maybe more). there was a fire sale on plants the day before lockdown so i went a lil' wild. particularly into this nagumi kumquat that's doing pretty well in a little makeshift hothouse in our bedroom.
-
E- Honestly relative to other parts of my life, still not great, but doing better than 2018 and definitely 2019, particularly mentally and attitude-wise.
-
So far so good. Living to fight another day. Bless up.
-
Kinda losing my shit but the rain is supposed to stop for a bit tomorrow

it's a meh, still working at least, and luckily can do from home for the most part. my wife got let go from work a while back, we are fine but it's less money overall for a bit I guess. spending less for now so it hasn't really affected us.
I am really ready for a vacation but everything I would typically want to do is still pretty fucked. :-\

Seems NY is finally starting to get things under control wrt the virus and stores are slowly reopening... my mom went in for valve replacement surgery and everything went well, that was a huge relief. My aunt is up from FL staying with her and helping to keep her company... Been spending lots of time with my girlfriend, continuing to cook and clean more, been doing the livestreaming DJ sets, started a small herb growing kit and mushroom growing kit (though I do NOT have a green thumb), and also been playing lots of Master System games and reading The CRPG Book by Felipe Pepe. Plans are underway to reopen our office though right after the 4th... it's one of the largest offices on the island with 2000+ people working there so I have no idea how they'll deal with social distancing... and I've fallen in love with the WFH. Although work has been extremely stressful as 3 big projects I'm involved in are all going into production at once.
-
It's been pretty sweet. Summer is here now, that also helps.
-
I managed to pull through the financial uncertainty which has elevated my mood through all the bullshit. My creative endeavors have taken a hit due to workload, but I'm keeping my momentum and have a positive outlook for the rest of the year.
-
Currently out of work, sitting at home the last three months, gained weight instead of lost it, got a molar pulled on monday and cant smoke now and im going nuts :(
-
:tocry
-
Good. Work slowed down during lockdown but not by too much. Back on my usual hours since. Didn't get sick, ate and drank plenty. Met someone.
I'm blessed.

Almost made a non-sarcastic post this morning, so things are pretty fucking dramatic.

Nice avatar esch

glad you were able to hold out

Finally emerging from post breakup grief, or at least not crippled by it anymore.
Also while I've been missing human contact, I am not overly happy with the return of my roommate after 3 months of her being gone.
-
I can finally run after being unable to do so for over two years. It's really amazing how getting a mechanical mitral valve replacement fixes everything.
With that said, I'm really frustrated and bothered by people who refuse to wear masks in public. I'm still high risk following my surgery and take it personal when people don't look out for the safety of others.

That's awesome man. Best vibes.

I went to visit my good friend yesterday. He and his roommate are practicing social distancing and all that as am I so we felt comfortable hanging out enjoying each other's company in the backyard. One, it felt great to actually be around someone (other than my own roommates). Two, we had a nice conversation about just everything that has happened during this year.
And it sort of really hit me yesterday how nuts 2020 has been. I mean I'm one to keep things together and weather the storms. And I still am. It's more just having the discussion in person that sort of made me kinda pop and go "actually, this year has been absolutely insane more than any other and it feels like it's lasted several years". It felt good to decompress among some good natured level headed friends who you feel you can be really open with. I'm good. Taking things day by day as I always have, but yesterday kinda broke me a little bit. In a good way though. I think it's during these times when you get a better perception of people in your life. The good and the bad. With some it's made me feel closer to them or have more appreciation and for a few it's been like "ahhh man, you got some real issues on the inside and I hope you maybe reevaluate why you are that way." Having more clarity in that respect has been good for me.
Fucking 2020 man.

I’ve cluttered the struggle thread with a lot of my woes so I’ll just say I’m helping my mom through her final stand in a 15 year fight with cancer. It sucks, but ultimately human beings want closure and 15 years is a long time. There was a time when closure meant “cancer free” but that time passed long ago. Now closure means something much more grim but I feel like I’m as ready as I can be. I just hope she is too :(
Otherwise, things are going pretty decent. I’ve made out pretty well financially during Rona. My girl and I are doing well, our dog had to have her spleen removed but is a born again pup now. I thought I was getting some mystery illness throughout May but it turns out I was just poisoning myself with street weed vape. But all in all I feel like my head is clear and I’m in great shape physically. If there are any guitar nerds here you would be pleased to know that I have been putting in time on my alternate picking during my extended vacation and have gotten up to 1/16th notes at 120 bpm (getting so close to legit face melting shred). In fact, I’ve been working a lot on music and have a handful of tunes I’m super close to releasing. Oh, and I discovered Kitboga so I have spent a considerable amount of time watching scammers lose their minds.
All in all, taking the good with the bad.... fuck cancer.

Sorry breh, wishing you and your family all the strength that is needed.

School's out for the summer, didn't get hired for summer school (I didn't expect it with all the budget cuts and summer school is virtual this year). At least I have my job, and am just hoping that they make the right decision for fall semester. I can't see us going back to the physical site with cases exploding in California.
I'm at month 3 of a mild sore throat that gets better or worse day by day.
-
was going great until i saw my name being referenced and realized y'all were talking about that dumb bethesda game :maf

Go to the doctor, that isn't normal.

to properly answer the thread's question, though...
for me it's...mixed. the year started off pretty strong. i was just getting settled in to my awesome new job, which was a massive upgrade on every level from the previous one. i was also getting settled in to my new big tiddy goth gf :rejoice the madre was set to take a long vacation in the old country, which meant i could actually spend some intimate time with said big tiddy goth gf. :phil
but then of course the pandemic hit, and pretty much everything went to shit. work put me "on call" and while as far as i know i'm still employed with the company, they haven't called me back in almost 3 months (and no, it's not just due to the rona. that would be uncontroversial, but there's a LOT of weird shit going on behind the scenes). the gf doesn't want to hang out cause she's worried about both infecting herself and her immunocompromised dad. the madre is stuck outside the u.s. for the time being cause international flights have been stopped and to make matters worse, she's planning on bringing my idiot brother with her. :fbm my hand injury that i had for almost two years, by far and away the biggest single problem in my life, seemed to have gotten worse. and to top it all off, e3 was cancelled.
and yet...
..despite all that, somehow it's also probably the happiest i've been in a long time. i got a coristone shot in may and that somehow improved the pain to the lowest it's been since i've had the injury. dealing with the pandemic made me once again appreciate the smaller things in life, stuff that i had lost interest in over the years. i started getting back into video games, and i started catching up once again on many childhood series that i loved, like hercules: the legendary journeys, xena, community justice league, and avatar: TLA to name a few. i've had a wave of nostalgia come over me that i haven't felt in god knows how long. due to my injury, i kind of closed myself off from the world cause i just didn't want to deal with anyone. but now that i'm feeling better (though not cured, just yet), i've been trying to reconnect with close friends and family. ironically, despite being locked in, i'm more open now than i've been in years.
and now that i have some (forced) time off, i decided to buy a new computer so i can get back into video editing so that i can start to focus on my true passion again, and really utilize that history degree that's kinda just been gathering dust.
also, while i'm not working, money isn't a problem thankfully, both because i have quite a bit saved up and i'm getting unemployment. i'm pretty lucky in that regard, so hopefully once this is over my job will call me again. whether they do or not, i'm going to start applying for jobs more in line with what i want to do.
oh also, i had tendonitis in both of my wrists for like the past 3 years, and i've slowly been trying to do physical therapy and the right one is actually doing pretty fucking great, so that's another body part that's getting better. :)

Learned today that my gallbladder needs to be removed. Surgery is scheduled for next Friday. If all goes well, I will only stay three days in the hospital and have ample time to shitpost. :doge
-
Well that seems like a big deal. Take care friend. Hopefully you’ll spend those three days on some hospital grade happy pills.

I'm really stressed out right now. I need to really let loose some steam. Considering going on a week long internet break.
