question for other people who don't have families or otherwise permanent social bonds: how do you not die of lonliness. follow up question: how do you stop the lonliness from making you unappealing and cringe to people who might otherwise stick around in your life and alleviate said lonliness.

being stuck in bed again, not knowing if or when i will be well enough to get up, has exposed a pretty big faultline. nothing is Wrong exactly, i just cant stop crying... thankfully my therapist is back from her month long holiday next week. the last therapy session i had, we ended up noticing a really big trauma symptom that i'd been misattributing to my chronic illness. i thought it was just brain fog, but actually i've been having very regular moments of my brain going completely blank when i get even a little bit stressed. coupled with having my first big flashback in years the other week, and now this, i guess i'm not doing as well as i thought i was. i've just been barrelling forward trying to leave everything that happened behind me, but it's been following me, and now my body's forcing me to stop and rest it's all caught up to me. i feel so disappointed in myself.. i should really be fine, and if i were better at coping i would be..

Study finds nearly every pre-2010 video game is unavailable

Games from older consoles are being made less and less available to the point so much of the industry's history could easily vanish without

Vimm's Lair: Preserving the Classics

Preserving classic videogames from consoles past.

I'm just gonna slide this on in here for anyone that is interested in preserving old games. They take it very seriously too, they want an archive of every single game. Like, they have lists of every game ever released for a system, and once that system gets old enough, they add it to their archive and start collecting. Their latest addition was the Xbox 360, they opened that vault up in September 2022, and proudly announced they'd finished their collection of games for it back in April.

Also, while their game archives are almost entirely complete, they've got another project of archiving the manuals that came with those games, and that is... considerably less well filled out. Their collection of Xbox 360 manuals is especially rough, they've only gotten manuals for three games. So if you've got some Xbox 360 games kicking around, and the manual's still with them, please consider scanning them and submitting them to the site!

Game preservation is important, but people rarely consider preserving the manuals as well; I really respect Vimm's Lair for being so thorough in their archival work.

I've been using Vimm's Lair for years, I have yet to see a single bad link or virus on the entire site. It's arguably the safest and most comprehensive archive of video games in existence. Preserved history

[el-shab-hussein]

For those unaware, Vimm's Lair videogame 'vault' has been closed off from public use for a while. The archive still exists but it is of limited use for people who want to play the games themselves. Other videogame ROMs sites have also been taken down. It's a pretty depressing time to be a videogame enjoyer on a budget.

I write to you with tears welling in my eyes, my body wracked with pain every second. I write to you because the ignore me and neglect I've endured hurts me more than my injuries. So remember, even if I die, I will never f0rgive anyone who ignored me and my suffering. I implore everyone to look at me and h@lp me by d0nating and sharing whatever they can.

[fadell-aldany]

This week, I've been battling severe pain and frequent fainting spells due to severe anemia, and I'm completely unable to afford essential medications because of their high cost. All I wish for is for these fainting spells to stop, and for me to find compassionate hearts to stand by me so I can bu.y my medication and recover quickly.

[fadell-aldany]

Shrapnel still lodges in my body, and the pain keeps me awake at night. What makes my suffering even worse is that I was injured when our house was bombed while we were inside. I need urgent surgery but the cost of the operation is exorbitant, and I can't afford it. Now, I can't even afford painkillers to the constant pain tearing at my body.

[fadell-aldany]

Please I don't want to diie, I just want to live without pain. I need your sincere sup.port to save my life and end this suffering as soon as possible. Please, I would be extremely grateful to anyone who can d0nate to me. and if you can't, I hope you will shar.e this pOst.

[closet-keys]

I am very worried about Fadel. He is suffering unendurable pain and desperately needs relief as soon as possible. Please donate to him if you have anything to spare.

Is it acceptable that I do shave my legs only because it’s easier to put lotion on my legs when they aren’t too hairy and I do like the feeling of smooth skin when I finish up with it.

I also only really do it once or twice a month so sometimes I do go out in public with hairy legs.

come on man i'm on my lunch break can't you wait???

We visited an old glass factory that was converted into a park and the photos can get very surreal.

It's always fun when an author claims their work contains no politics, because either they're blatantly lying, or they genuinely think they're telling the truth and you get a lot of insight into what assertions about human nature they regard as so obviously and self-evidently true as to lie outside the political sphere.

all the rights that come with marriage you should be able to have without marriage btw. you should be able to designate a person who can visit you in the hospital regardless of your relationship to that person.
