Been on and off Warframe since it launched (beta maybe), but it’s always like years between. I probably only have like 60 hours total. So whenever I come back I’m just as lost as when I started playing. Like oh, I have a ship now, oh there’s story now, you can fly! No wait it sucks, there’s an open world section!
I don’t have the time for Warframe now, but it could be fun to be confused with other people.
Is it not common to refer to your friends as a boy or girl? I think it could definitely be infatilization in some contexts, like the one cited in the paper(professional work setting). This context however is 2 friends going on an unexpectedly long hike in the woods and finding a giant mushroom
Wait, I thought I changed it to reishi. Is it not displaying for everyone else?

It had broken off of that log before we found it. It was all dried out and was surprisingly light. I would not normally disturb something this extraordinary, but it seemed harmless given the circumstances.
Fixed, thanks
Also I’m in my late 20s, I feel like I can still be a boy quite often. It felt like we were kids looking at a massive mushroom in the woods.
A friend of mine says it helps with her epilepsy, but in general I don’t buy into the “health” claims
A picture of its underside
Rural Oregon is very red. There’s a behind the bastards episode on just how many racists there are in Oregon.
I think you can just be grateful to have or experience something. Like you can’t be grateful to anyone for a full moon, but you can be grateful that you saw it.
Comfort can be about how you look. I have some clothes that are super comfortable, but if I wore them out in public I would be arrested because I look like a drug dealer. Find something comfy in the way that it reflects how you want to be seen
I’m not particularly active, but I still left for OSRS a long time ago
I use Plex and jellyfin, honestly, plex only stays around because of plexamp. It’s just too good. I don’t like using streaming apps like Spotify or whatever because they’re not as good
Showing off is an important part of social MMOs. If anyone can have the really cool looking thing for some cash then what’s the point of grinding? For a hardcore player, what do they have to show off their prestige?
It’s pretty important for an MMO to respect its most active players. Not to mention, what do new players have to look up to? To think, what do I have to get that? If the answer is “oh I just have to fork out some dough”. That’s kinda disappointing
I mean, looking like you know what you’re doing, looking confident doesn’t mean you have to dress plain.
Also I am sure gym bros will complement you on your body. Kind of like how as a straight man I only get compliments on my facial hair from other men. Look for validation from your friends not randos
You’re probably in a better place than most severely depressed people because you think that you can get better! Probably the best thing to do is keep a growth mindset and try to learn as much as you can about depression. Getting over depression is a journey.
Lots of other people have said running & friends, those things help me. But recently/now I am depressed and running 40 miles a week and seeing my friends regularly.
What’s a really cheap solution? Pirate some bibliotherapy books! Feeling good by David D. Burns is older, but I’m reading it right now and it seems like a really solid CBT book. I would also recommend “Adult children of emotionally immature parents”. It helped me understand why I am the way I am
The hardest part for me is noticing when my thoughts are turning situations from good or neutral into bad situations. Paying attention to your thoughts in an objective way is hard! But some sort of mindfulness practice can help.
Journaling can be useful! You can train your brain to look for good things by writing out 3 good things that happened or you did every night.
That only makes it cooler
Not a fan of indie games are you?
Baba is you, is a pretty original puzzle game. I’m not really into factorio, but it made tower defense cool again. There’s lots more that are weird and interesting like brigadore, airships conquer the skies, cruelty squad, superliminal.
As far as I remember, portal was a mod or indie game that valve picked up because they thought the idea was really good. It was really good.
When I first saw it I thought more about voter fraud. Dead people voting.
Are there any ways we can fight this? In my head “guerilla counter psyops” sounds really cool…
But like is the move to ignore? Point out what they’re doing? Verbal judo? Report and move on?
