I was doing really great at managing my anxiety while I was working & busy, but now on hysterectomy-eve I'm just sound wound up.
The house is clean. Laundry is going. Everything is prepped. I had one last swim session & a massage. Dinner is cooking. And it's only 5:30 š
I'm bored out of my mind already, but nothing sounds appealing.
What did you do the night before your surgery? Maybe I should bake muffins for tomorrow?
Also, did your partner hang out at the hospital for the entire surgery time with you or did they leave for a while?
TL;DR - NMS noob professes his adoration of the game and community while word-vomiting his origin story.
I bought the game at launch on a laptop that barely met the minimum system requirements and suffered through a couple hours of constant stuttering and frequent crashes before I gave up.
After failing to find a fix for the graphics issues and disheartened by the scathing post-launch reviews I decided to request a refund, which Steam promptly denied.
So NMS was uninstalled and sat dormant, silently accumulating updates and expansions over the years.
Until a few weeks ago.
A perfect storm of Sci-Fi wanderlust had been building for months, fueled by For All Mankind and The Expanse, Hyperion and Dune, Interstellar and Star Wars, and the GCPās Androids and Aliens and Voyagers of the Jump.
Eventually I found myself scrolling aimlessly through the Steam store seeking a suitable addition for my Sci-Fi appetite that a dozen other recent games new and old had failed to sate.
Finally, I noticed it. Ever-present in the āMore Like Thisā sections of previous attempts and already sitting innocuously in my library, No Manās Sky. It was worth a try.
Now Iām 40 hours in and I feel like Iāve barely scratched the surface. Every session brings new discoveries and joys, and a previously game-jaded grown-man has rediscovered the fun of it all.
Thank you fellow Travelers for your unknowing assistance and inspiration through my adventures and thank you HG for your commitment to the game and the players. Hereās to the next 40, and many more after.
Not much to share, but hereās my base sitting atop a rocky hill rising above the infested fauna that covers the worm-ridden moon orbiting my starting planet.
Parked outside is my first exotic, the Stellar Bard X something something, renamed the Stellar Bardic Stirge and eagerly establishing itself as a pirate scourge.
I just unlocked Scorpio Scout, was looking forward to it.
But now I'm almost disappointed because it's so OP it feels like I'm using an exploit
Hoping this feeling will pass
I already can't bear using m4a1 w/ 100rnd mag or extended mag on a 1911 which I'd gladly choose for my handgun if I could push the ammo count to just 10-12
Am I being crazy? Breakpoint is the first single player game I actually really liked in a very long time, enough to spend 150hrs in it. So I try to avoid shortcuts, cuz I know if I start cheesing - I'll get burned out very quickly
Hoping to get some input on the two bikes I'm stuck between. Would probably happy with both, but curious if anyone has been in the same spot. I guess I'm asking if anyone thinks the extra $800 would be worth it.
I ride about 80-85% road so 20-15% gravel. Looking to do some crit/road racing this summer but a decent amount of gravel as well. Hoping for a quiver killer after my spec. crux was stolen last week :((
Additionally: I also have the opportunity to snag a 2021 Roubaix (tiagra groupset) for the same price as a new Domane ($2k) in great condition. Any thoughts on if that's a good deal?
TIA!
Hello everyone my name is Bilxin!

what roles they play in. I spent hours reserching and all i could find is that... you know there are guards, Damagers an suporters. Ok, but how to recocnize them???? How i can build a team with them??? How many types of unit and wich role i have to put in my team in order for it to be great?

Ps: English it's not my original languages so if some words are in the wrong order i'm really sorry. Help
Something with a more casual, relaxed, laid back feeling. Almost all demoman loadouts i see are medieval, pirate or scottish themed, but iād like to stray away from that.
This Christmas I got a crock, which has been super cool, but it came with stone instead of glass weights. I've read up that it's not the best choice because of the pores and holes so I'm here asking for advice on it. Is there way to "season" the stones like you would for other porous things (cast iron, wood cutting boards, molcajete, etc)?
Hello. Iām 31m and Iāve had my Panic Disorder under control for the past 5 years or so, but recent health issues have caused me non stop anxiety and frequent panic attacks.
I finally received insurance again, so I set up an appointment with a Psychiatrist and a new PCP, but both of my appointments arenāt until the end of next month. Iām having multiple panic attacks daily and Iām wondering if itās acceptable to go to the hospital for this reason
I started out normal. I have an aerospace degree. Was very employableā¦ I jumped ship because I started college before 911 and graduated after. At the beginning of the cannabis industry, I really did look at it as being able to get into an industry on the ground floor.
I wasnāt wrong. Two things held me back. First, I donāt do hard drugs and never have in my life nor do I drink. Apparently, a lot of the networking in that industry is substance related. It was a huge oversight on my part. Second, I have a genetic condition since birth that really flared up and destroyed my life. Covid made it worse. In the beginning, I really did see cannabis as a blessing because it was like a medicine that helped a lot of things.
LSS, Iāve fixed a lot of my health problems by walking through hell and backālots of trial and error. I donāt smoke anymore bc I donāt need to. Nor do I want to. Itās almost repulsive to me but Iām trapped in that industry.
I also have these holes in my resume because I was so sick. I was homeless, kind of just dying. Again, not a sob story, Iām doing really really well actually but I donāt know how to put my life back together from here.
I canāt really go back to aerospace because of the cannabis stuff. I donāt want to be in the cannabis industry as itās just been destroyed...too many issues to list. I currently work in a dispensary for $15 an hour and itās a kind of a nightmare. And I was thankful for the job as it helped me get back on my feet but how do I transition into a real job? I currently work over 60 hours a week and it doesnāt allow me to have the time that I need to take care of myself. Itās a downward spiral if I donāt find a good job.
Cannabis and holes in my resume pretty much boil down to a genetic condition but I canāt really bring that up either because then theyāll think Iāll just call in sick all the time. Everyone I work with calls in sick but meā¦
Any advice would be greatly appreciated and doing some good in the world
