Things You Are Looking Forward To

[philstar22]

What things are you looking forward to in the new year? As difficult as things will be, are there any things you are looking forward to?

Re: Things You Are Looking Forward To

I am cautiously optimistic for next year! I have health insurance and a doctors appointment all lined up and am hoping to get my physical and mental health in order. I have bipolar and ADHD and have been unmedicated for the last 10 years and basically have just been struggling to stay alive. It has been really close some days. I feel like if I can actually get medicated things will really start looking up for me and I can start doing more than just surviving.

I've also had some pretty messed up physical health stuff over the past few years that has reached the point where it's really interfering with my quality of life, so hoping to get some answers for that too!

I'm trying to line it all up as soon as possible because my health insurance is through the ACA and I know Trump said he's going to try and get rid of it (but he said that last time too...).

So, we're planning a trip for my birthday this coming year, since turning 40. I think we're going to do Houston. Space-themed. See NASA and the Space Center. Do a few museums mom wants to see. Should be fun.

And a little smaller and sooner, but found out today that LOTR is playing again in a nearby theater. 3 saturdays in a row, one for each movie. Not extended, but still pretty cool.

If things go well I might be able to adopt a cat this year. I'm still very much in the planning stages(costs, food, space, etc) and it's not 100% yet, but I'm looking tentatively forward to it because it's the closest I've been to it since I lost my last job in 2021.

getting better at drawing! i picked some courses during these last few months and a few of them finally clicked and i'm getting better and better by the day. it's very hard and i am practising a lot of fundamentals over and over again, but WOW finally i am seeing progress and having a lot of fun enjoying the process. i'm seriously having a blast just practising boxes. wild.
next year i am specifically looking forward getting better at ink drawing (I mostly sketch directly in ink) and watercolour/gouache. maybe finally get into some serious urban sketching, so combining little trips with going around drawing random stuff.

aside from that... MMMMH???? maybe my nephew growing up? He will be 3 in a couple of weeks and while we always connected, it's way more fun playing with him lately since we can do a lot more stuff together.

...damn, I'm boring. and old ahaha

Hazbin season 2 and the 4.0 update of Clip Studio Paint mostly.

I should be getting a title bump soon (along with a possible pay increase). A title bump will make moving to a different team in my company an easier task.

The concerts I have tickets to and the fics I’m going to write.

My sister going home. She's been staying since the twentieth and being around her really stresses me out. I can't wait to have a bit of peace and quiet again. Just a few more days!

My suicide.

I'm really going through it right now. And once I get all of their stuff out of the house and a restraining order in place (they fucked up and made an actual threat where a mandatory reporter documented it! yay!!) I look forward to to building my domestic and social life back up.

Gaining money. Getting into cooking and drawing (and maybe writing?). The Day the Earth Blew Up. Tasting new things.

Casual games

[(Anonymous)]

I've been having the urge to play games like Super Mario Bros where you can just dip in, play a few levels, and dip out. Low stress, low brain power, low commitment. Anyone have any recs?

Re: Casual games

[kaijinscendre]

Unpacking! An absolutely lovely game.

Stardew Valley

Re: Casual games

[volkameria]

Minami Park, a Nintendo Switch/Steam game about setting up a cute street with businesses.
Vampire Survivors, a (on everything) game about fighting endless waves of enemies. While this sounds pretty nuts, all the attacks are auto-attack so you just need to move around the map and figure out the best weapon combos.
Balatro, a (on everything) game all about playing poker hands with various powerups. A bit more brainpower than the other 2 is required for this one, but it's endlessly satisfying.
Wylde Flowers, a Steam (and Switch I think?) game about playing as a girl who moves to an island to take care of her grandma and finds out she's a witch! It's Stardew Valley but an emphasis on relationships and witchy stuff. It's a lot of fun.

*Sable.* Super chill game about a girl on a desert planet who rides around on a hover bike doing tasks for people, solving puzzles, and learning lore about the world. You can't die (well...you probably could, but it'd have to be from intentionally letting yourself fall to death), and you can save at any time.

*Dystopika.* Cyberpunk city-building game with no management objectives at all. You just chill out and create.

Legend of Zelda Echoes of Wisdom! Super fun, designed for short bursts, can save anywhere.

The Sims 2 ... highly recommend downloading osab's Sims 2 starter pack to optimise game for newer systems. Sims 2 is abandonware - no longer commercially available for sale. Could also get disks from ebay or other second hand seller, if you don't have it already. Watch some Sims 2 youtube if you want a preview of what to expect from the game. It's very much casual - dip in play a while and quit whenever you want. Sims 2 still has a very active modding community too and since no more game updates the mods don't get broken. Sims 3 and Sims 4 games still cost a lot of money but those are okay too for spurts of playing and they also have many mods available. To be clear the games don't need mods but they are nice to have to include personalised details according to what you want.

Follow up on movie-going

[(Anonymous)]

Wanted to thank everyone who commented yesterday about going to see movies alone. I went this morning and had a blast. I was the only one there and cried openly at one point. Sang along to familiar songs. Snuck in an Icelandic with no problem. Took a selfie vid of my mouth hanging open, which it was through most of the movie. Might go back before break is over.
