  • I keep writing my senators. One senator I voted for under the Working Families’ Party (his name next to both WFP and Dem). The Second Senator is an old fart who I wanted to look up to, but continues to enable the R party as a Dem.

    I write them often, and a few days ago, wrote the old fart to let him know his actions directly are why I just changed my voter registration to independent. Im no longer registered Democrat. I was there for Bernie, and nothing good has come of anything over my 10 years as a Dem. I write the WFP senator to remind him I voted for him under that party name.

    Will it do anything? I don’t know, but I hope everyone is writing thier senators and reps at least bi weekly. Its so easy to do today, you dont even need a stamp!

    I ask because my son, near 12 years of age, has ADHD and ODD. Videogames have historically been a massive issue with him, and today doesn’t play them. He does however love board games. However being he is a only child, he will play Chess/Clue/Yahtzee against himself often. I play when I can but I’m not always able to. He doesn’t like drawing, painting or writing, so I lean into board games.

    I’ve found a few solo board games, but nothing good

    Was hoping to hear what else might be out there that people find enjoyable, as his birthday is soon.

    I’ll look up what Slay the Spire is

    The best time to read books for me, was when I was paid to do it.

    I worked the ticket booth at a state park. We had a lake, so we’d stay open even if it was raining. We’d have four or five boats come in the morning, I’d take their fees. The rest of the day I would sit in that booth making minimum wage, sitting in a small shelter from the rain, while being in the woods, and I’d read the whole time. I read 6 books that summer just from down time sitting in the booth

    Read on my own time? I can’t remember to bring the book with me. I really just need to put one in my purse… oh look, I forgot to do that … again.




  • I quit playing the Sims 4, I am simply, a builder. I would go on a month binge, then not play for 6months. Sometimes I’d play once a month-

    But having to fix my mods every single time I booted was so much. I never had issue finding what was broken, it was just so time consuming. Then after two hours the game would be ready to play, and … I would be instantly bored, forgot my house plan to the mind vortex, all energy spent, ugh. That game is seriously dead.

    I was beyond excited to move from xbox to pc with that game. amazing how it took no time at all for me to hate it.

    I also play PvE Rust, it takes like a half hour to load in, and i get a whopping 33FPS. Love that game so much, 20-30mins loading time is fine if I dont have to fix mods like a sleuth every fuckin time I want to play. Just walk slowly so the graphics can load in lmao

    I still load into Rust and immediately just, log off often. Hyperfocus just isnt there sometimes. Thats when I load N (it’s free and fun!) and play short levels.
