I have to re-buy games I already own? 🫠

1994 - 1996 and beyond. Originally played on Win98, currently on Win10. Trying out several different CDROMS, but I’ve been testing out an old “Learning in Toyland” CD, but I also have an old “Yukon Trail” CD I’m trying to boot up.

I’ve tried DOSBOX, but I keep getting messages like “requires Windows” or whatnot. Like HOE, I HAVE WINDOWS AND IT DON’T EVEN WORK

It’s a [hug] emote.

There is a singular niche community that I involve myself with where I pop in and make highly desired items to give away for free.

It makes me feel like people care about me for a while. For now, that’s good enough for me.

Money and good health insurance. Seriously, it would help me out so dang much.

I have pretty bad PTSD, which has made it near impossible to make real, human connections. If I could get out of my own head, I feel like my life might be able to improve.

I have a house of my own, though. I feel like having your own space contributes a lot to self-improvement and peace, tbh. I am extremely fortunate.

I hope this fucking clown-house leads to laws being passed protecting workers from this kind of shit in the future.

For real, this deep-fried dumpster fuck needs to leave the planet.

Little Big Adventure 2 / Twinsen’s Odyssey

Man, I love that game, but it has some things I’d love to see improved by a remaster.

Thank you! Seems this tragedy could absolutely have been avoided. The guy didn’t want to have to run it through inspections! Vile.

Could you please explain this or point me to a source on this?

I heard that this game is actually pretty good.

His video on the soundtrack had me fascinated!

I HATE ads with a passion. Even taught my kid from a very young age to put his hands over his ears, look away, and say “la la la!!” until an ad ends.

Once Vanced shut down, I was devastated. ReVanced really saved my experience, though, and I’m so thankful it exists.

That really did put the nail in the coffin for me.

He lied about that. What else will he lie about? How many other innocent people will he accuse of wrong-doing in the future? He’s obviously shown that he is very openly willing to do so.

No thank you.

That’s fucking ghoulish.

I promise I did no such thing!

If you saw a buncha’ big nasty, that might be on you. Double-check your search filters!

I was concerned to look it up, but I’m glad it’s SFW.

God, it’s awful, right?? I’m upset that not a lot of medicated folks know about the magnesium thing! It really does have an affect on your life. Best part is, when you take it, you typically get relief in like 20 minutes or so!

Magnesium oxide & magnesium citrate are not great to take. Oxide has a wildly poor absorption rate, and will typically just make you have diarrhea instead of doing what it’s supposed to. Citrate taken long-term will actually make it so your body builds a tolerance to your meds. I’m not exactly sure why, but it does.

Definitely bring it up to your doctor! Super glad I mentioned it.

No problem! Oh, also: drink tons of water everyday. I keep a refillable water bottle with me at all times and go through at least 3 daily. Dehydration will cause issues.

Oh, and lastly, look into taking magnesium glycinate or magnesium taurate at night. Stimulants will sap it from your body, and it will cause muscle tightness and especially a tense jaw/teeth clenching at night! It can lead to headaches, too. Taking it will replenish your magnesium supply and cure those issues.

I mean, if everybody gets access, that’s fine with me. But if there’s a shortage and the people who need it can’t get it, that’s where I have qualms. But that’s a different can of worms.

Ugh. Diet is such a paaaain.

Okay, so breakfast affects it a lot. Milk? Get rid of that. It apparently hinders absorption. Same with citrus of any kind! Stick with yogurts, toast, and especially eggs and/or meat. Protein boosts it real good! Love me some egg whites in the morning.

I don’t know about anyone else, but soda seems to absolutely saps all effectiveness out of the meds. Citric acid also does.

Take a multivitamin. Make sure your iron levels are good. Do all that. Also, if you’re a woman, YOUR HORMONE LEVELS WILL AFFECT THE EFFECTIVENESS OF YOUR MEDICATION!!!

That’s my personal experience. Everything except the bolded sentence is not proven science (mostly), but it has been my experience long-term. Hopefully it can somehow help your experience in the future.
