Worth it.
Worth it.
From what I’ve read, baptism isn’t what saves you. Salvation isn’t even something that humans can earn by doing something. It’s a gift that we can either accept or decline. In the same way you don’t automatically go to hell for being a sinner, otherwise we’d all be fucked.
My mom gave me a bible that has these textbook-style notes in the margins. I thought it was pretty cool to read the notes about archeology and ancient cultures, and about the different meanings some phrases had in the original languages.
“Well it’s not hurting me so it can’t be that bad.”
I’m lazy and tend to sit around a lot. That said, I’d still take woods over beach any day. I got my camera and telephoto lens for wildlife photos, walking in the shade at a comfortable pace… That’s a good way to spend a couple hours.
My cat showed up at our back door as a kitten and my sister was able to catch her and get her spayed. We kept her in the basement for a while away from the other cats, but I would spend time playing with her and sleep on a futon to keep her company (or maybe that was for my sister’s dog while she was at college, but I think it was for both of them). Anyway, she was generally pretty shy around most people, but she was my best buddy. She spent well over 90% of her time in my bedroom.
She liked to cuddle with me, but usually only for a few minutes at a time.
We had to put her down less than a year ago. That morning was the first time I actually cried in over 25 years.
Just played Ori and the Blind Forest (and holy shit, emotional damage right in the prologue), and now I’m playing the sequel. No idea why I ignored those games for so long.
I’ve been on three different ADHD drugs over the past 30 years. I don’t know where I’d be without that, but I think I’m much better off than I would be without it.
I was on adderall for a little while back in school, but they took me off of that due to the weight loss (It was a good time for me though. I had hobbies and I was thin. Now I’m a lazy fat-ass).
There’s [email protected].
There’s [email protected], but it’s been dead for a while. I kinda miss reading those stories about assholes getting what they asked for.
Another that was fun reading occasionally was scambait, where people would fuck with scammers to waste as much of their time as possible. I don’t know if there’s anything like that on Lemmy.
Thanks!
It’s a small videogame I’ve been doing in my spare time. There’s no story or goal at the moment. I recorded a GIF a while back:
I took a week off to work on a game I’m making. Made some progress over past few days.
Cool. I’ve got a couple recommendations that I feel are criminally underated (less than 200 reviews on Steam). I should post about them later.
Man, I love these stories.
Three games I played recently:
Among Ashes - Somewhat short, but ended up being quite good. It does a good job at building tension and generally doesn’t rely on cheap jump scares.
10 Dead Doves - One of the few games I that made me want to play through a second time. Interesting story, some funny moments, emotional moments, good voice acting. I highly recommend this one.
In Sound Mind - This was sitting in my backlog for a while and I wasn’t really expecting much, but I ended up really enjoying this one too. The ending even had me feeling emotional, which is very rare, but
it made me think about my own cat who died a few months ago.
I just finished playing Among Ashes and I thought it was quite good but I finished it in about 7 hours. This isn’t an old game though, but it has a retro style for much of the game.
I think he’s about 12 now.
My mom was a nurse (now retired) and she worked night shift part time, so she was never able to get into a regular sleep schedule. It got even worse when they switched her to 12-hour shifts two days a week. She still has trouble sleeping through the night, except now it’s mostly because of the cats.
The Messenger is also good if you haven’t tried that one.
