First day of freedom (for two weeks) and I played video games on a PC with a friend. Turns out cybersickness is a thing. I felt like throwing up. But besides that, it was kinda fun.

The anxiety hasn't completely gone away because of failing, and just worrying about my future, but I think the more I do stuff, the more I will be in the present. Plus I need a good sleep.

Oh it’s real. There might be settings you can change but some games are much worse for it than others

If you are looking for a good old high quality Pixar movie that makes you cry, go watch Elio.

I heard it's good, but just wasn't that well promoted. I think I'll check this one out sooner rather than later

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

Yeah the poster doesn’t say much about the story. I went because I saw good reviews on reddit.

The Hamilton soundtrack is so good 😭

It’s cold.

I think I’m going to crawl into bed under some warm covers.

I was trying to not turn on the heater this evening but I caved around 7pm. Now I'm very very sleepy...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

That was my thinking with the heater. I normally wait till 9pm because power off peak starts then.

Couldn’t take it anymore and hopped into bed streaming tv.

Before paying to have someone pick up my old fridge and freezer I decided to try Marketplace to give them away. It did not go well. Apparently "must be picked up ASAP today" is easily confused for "pick up maybe tomorrow" or "I'll deliver to you tomorrow in Thomastown".

Having computer problems, I'll post pics tomorrow.

I'm having a nice holiday and am being totally spoilt by the young Seagoons. 😭

It seems 6pm is now the new feeding time.

Enjoy yourself after the hell of a week you've been through

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

Thanks man. It's nice to have a break.

Ded.

Van is packed to the gills, nature strip is 100% hard rubbish and I'm just waiting on the fridge and freezer being picked up so I can go home.

I declare tomorrow a day of rest.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

You deserve the rest! Must be a relief to have all the old house clearing sorted

And pray for me. Going to eat beef ravioli past its use by date.

How much past? Days, weeks, months. Cooked? Uncooked?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

2 days. Still in sealed container unbreached.

She'll be right 🍺

I ordered some retro handhelds for the boys to get on Christmas shopping early. I got the R36s because I found it cheap and I'm pretty impressed.

Buttons feel good, it uses Emudeck on the frontend so everything looks nice, and they even shipped with Stardew Valley on the SD card. It boots up, takes a while to load but it boots up. I know one of my boys in particular is going to love this once they get them

Fucking miracle! Key found. I am so baking that depo guy a tray of bickies!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago

How good is that! Get that key cut asap.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

Shit YEAH that's a happy Friday story!
