#super hot chocolate

“Remember that time I burnt my tongue on Alvin’s hot chocolate and started a cult by accident?”

“That was a weird week.”

Vivid image in my mind just now of Edge having a super bad day at work. Going home, almost completely quiet, no one else notices, makes dinner, but slinks off shortly thereafter. A few hours later, someone finds him bundled up entirely on the couch in the game room, we're talking full blanket cocoon, with only his face and one hand left free to hold his phone and watch youtube video essays about like. The history of fencing, or the deadliest amusement park rides. Looks gross and miserable so they just let him be for now. It's what he needs.

Your stories make me want to play more n more interesting forms of Rimworld. I’m pretty scared to leave peaceful mode most of the time though! I’m a sandboxier, not a ‘risk the lives of these characters I’m attached to’-er. How do you manage the power creep of enemies with so few colonists (for the mechinator story)?

Gotta be honest, I do panic a little bit when I get big raids, or mech raids, or cultist chanters or whatnot. I often just pause the game and make some tea or snuggle my cats for a bit before I come back and try to think of the best ways to deal with the situation without getting my best mechanitor bois killed in the process.

The killbox has definitely helped despite its architect being a bit of an idiot (that's me, by the way), and it's nice to know I can throw the mechs at any baddies as a distraction and resurrect them later if things go sideways.

Also, I'm comforted in the knowledge that I can call XiaoLiang from Arwell if I need a convenient Man-In-Black; he's only, like, a half day's walk away and (so far) doesn't seem to mind being summoned on a whim.

I confess I have reloaded a save now and then, but it's a single-player game, and in the end, it doesn't matter what you do as long as you're enjoying yourself. My favourite difficulty setting is "Adventure Story" because it has enough danger to make for interesting plots and drama, but also plenty of room for character development and silly colonist interactions.

So I though about how the songs "super rich kids" by frank Ocean and "hot chocolate" by Tyler the creator sound similar (maybe it's just me idfk) so I tried mixing them together but it came out like this

;-; if someone could fix it for me it would be a Christmas miracle/j I'll put the parts for it in the repost section

As someone who has a lot of hormonally induced, fairly vicious mood swings, I just wanted to say that I think the way you write UTB Efnisien really captures the self doubt and frustration that can stem from it. Obviously, we are in very(!) different situations but I find it very resonant and true to my own struggles and it makes me feel a tiny bit less crazy when I read it, so thank you for that

Oof, sorry you have to go through that anon, it can be a challenge that's for sure.

Especially because people can often be quite dismissive about it and it's like no, hormones are real, and they're going to really mess with you depending on what your body is doing (and the drugs you're taking / the stage in your life) at any given time.

Writing that for Efnisien has been interesting, because I think some of his mood swings are just pure trauma responses that are interpreted as being connected to his hormones, and others are very much evidence of where he sits with too little ardolphogen in his body.

If anything, I think Gary's mood swings are profoundly influenced by the hormones he produces, and we'll see that in the future, when he experiences something called 'ardolphogen rage' and has to take tranquilisers because of it.

friendly reminder that it’s okay to take days off when you need them for you mental health if you can. you don’t need to be working and stressed all day everyday. being kind to your body and your mind is okay, and you shouldn’t feel bad for putting that first.
