#i literally can't have enough of it

[a-driftamongopenstars]

Heyoo! I saw you've reblogged stuff for Palia and I was wondering if you'd recommend playing it? Ngl I'm interested in a game to play to take my mind off things and Palia looks to be really fun, but when I looked into it to find out more, I found that people will get mad if you don't call out certain resources in the server(?) chat apparently, which kind of scares me as a potential player cause I want to play solo due to being shy/anxious if that makes sense x'D I hope you're having a wonderful day! ^W^

Hey anon :) Thank you for asking!

So, I absolutely 100% recommend Palia, especially as a place to hang out to get your mind off things! I know it can be a little scary with the social part of it, but Palia provides a wonderful environment to play either solo or with others!

It's so cute, you can decorate your home, talk to different villagers and even romance a lot of them (or all of them, no consequences :D), you can garden and mine and build and cook. The story is interesting and the characters are all complex and well developed. It's also a beautiful game :)

As for the social part, I found Palia community incredibly kind and helpful. I ran into a mildly weird situation only once. Otherwise, people in the chat are so helpful if you have questions, they tell you anything you need to know, where to find resources and such. There are indeed callouts for materials, but you don't need to respond to them if you don't want to or do them yourself. It took me a while to figure out what all those call outs mean and I also started doing them, mostly to give back the support I got in my first steps :) You can also just ignore server chat, I know a lot of people do that, there's no penalty to being quiet and doing your own thing :)

I've read some 'horror stories' on reddit about it haha, but honestly, those don't happen as often and you can literally ignore anyone being mean and report/block them. There's very few bad eggs around Palia, I found.

Give it a try, I am very sure you'll enjoy it. Palia also doesn't have any FOMO (except for maybe once a month market but it comes back every month for a week and you can visit it then), you can drop it and come back any time! And it really is completely free!

I'm taking my time playing it, not rushing anywhere, just doing what I feel is comfortable for me to do.

If you have any more questions about it, I'm also happy to answer!

favorite hobby when I'm driving is to catch someone trying to climb up my back bumper while I'm going a completely reasonable speed and just slowly take my foot off the gas. you seem upset, brother. why don't we slow down and enjoy the view awhile

I think it would really benefit people to internalize that mental illnesses are often chronic and not acute. Some of us will never be able to jump the hurdle of managing illness, much less sustaining a sense of normalcy. Many of us will never "recover," will never manage symptoms, will never even come close to appearing normal - and this is for any condition, even the ones labeled as "simple" disorders or "easy-to-manage" disorders.

It isn't a failure if you cannot manage your symptoms. It isn't a moral failure, and you aren't an awful person. You are human. There's only so much you can do before recognizing that you cannot lift the world. Give yourself the space to be ill because, functionally, you are.

yall are about to piss me off by not having any PASSING basic knowledge of the way the u.s. military manipulates its recruits into joining by typing up one of your uninformed, unresearched, unempathetic, individualistic, unbelievably annoying posts about how 100% of the people in the military ended up there because they just Love America So Damn Much! they're extremely mature and informed at time of recruitment, they can totally leave anytime they want, they totally had tons of other avenues in life they could've taken, there was no rush at all to get income as fast as possible, and everyone in the military also totally is part of the combat divisions and personally enjoys being IN the military very much, big believers of violence. everyone in the military is shooting guns all day, that's how that works. they LOVE BLOODSHED. also I love the "amewicans haha" twang to this type of shit because you're actually TOTALLY stealing our Thing, which is turning systemic issues into Individual Issues. Instead of talking about the powers that be, it's so Personal Choice up in here. It's, "well you shouldn't have done it then. I totally wouldn't because I know better." you don't wanna talk about the military industrial complex as a whole, and you don't want to talk about recruiters, you just want to pin the blame on Specific Individual People one-by-one, as if they're responsible for the system that they're being ground up in. someone was in the military? bad person, no matter what. it's easier to believe that, I guess, than to acknowledge that Normal People (with high school educations) are manipulated and incentivized into joining a system that is Bad. at like age 18. but yeah no that 18 year old should have just been smarter lol haha anyway here are some screenshots for no particular reason

side note this reply of someone going "umm just get loans and go into a high paying field it's easy XD" as a direct response to someone trying to explain how most americans joining the military are being funneled in that direction out of a need for money.

and another person who Decided that americans join the military just CLENCHING their teeth thinking of other people, and not thinking completely selfishly about their own selves and their own income/housing/healthcare.

(WIP) This has to be one of the most enjoyable projects I've made in awhile! I've never knit a polo before, and this is my first time working a button-up collar.

The pattern is the Winona Polo by Emily Y Chen and I'm using stash Holst Supersoft yarn.

for something as trivial and simple those feelings sure are hard to get rid of

also made a gif a version for fun + alt version with no tears under the cut

the gif is in very low resolution...this is a feature (i could make it bigger but that would require saving each frame individually and than glueing it all together. also i feel like low resolution suits it better. aesthetically and fits the mood)
