Sorry to hear that, thanks for sharing, sending love from the other side of the screen.

I have a sister who similarly decided the rest of us were “toxic” because my parents tried to motivate her into getting off their couch and doing something with her very hireable college degree.

Haven’t heard a peep from her in years. Shit stings every day.

Woah, is it you, Sloppy Joe himself?? 😲

You’re a good kid.

Truly. A bit of jolly co-op goes a long way

This thread got me thinking Lemmy needs a better “find a co-op buddy” community for games in general. If it’s here already, could use better marketing.

Not sum’m I suffer from, but I want to see y’all living your best lives too. A good homie can make or break a game run.

Bro, preach. Definitely only need a quick clip for like, where is this item hiding in Elden Ring?

Maybe helps that I still have a solid squad of irl mates I game with, but also don’t mind catching solo time on single players.

I was dead fucking wrong about twitch tho. When it first came out I was like “who the hell is this for, younger siblings?” Like, why wouldn’t you just play the game yourself? Figured there’d be a lil niche for e-sport pro level scene, but twitch got way bigger than I ever would’ve thought.

Saying all this as a mid-thirty dude who truly will never comprehend people who spend a bunch on twitchy

Well ain’t you sweet, cheers! 😏

Oooh maybe just inspired my next run.

But lol I should go finish the first… Took too long a break and now I’m all “wtf was I doing” when I load back in.

'Preciate you too, and shall do. Keeping it real is the only way I know how to roll. 🤙

Should be asleep ramble but…

Honestly, had a lot of time to think back in chemo. Wasn’t even old enough to drink yet. Caught early, pretty high rates for success… But still… Lots of time to think. Sat next to sweet old ladies with much harder fights…

I appreciate the cosmic absurdity of it all. This whole experience of brief life in a tiny blip of this stupid cosmic scale of infinity in all directions, billions of years either side… Meaning comes from what we make it. It’s the best of times, it’s the worst of times. Try to enjoy the ride while it lasts.

Find hobbies. Learn a new skill. Get lost in a book, or museum, or at a disco. Get that extra slice. Take that road trip. Learn how to play that instrument. No, it’s probably not too late to start skiing, or climbing, or studying French. Grind if you have to. Cool shit often requires luck, but those who put in the hours get lucky more.

I feed my brain new music every day, and try to add laughter to every room I’m in. Make art, be weird, find the helpers.

Much love

Glad to hear you’re on the mend, friend. The world is a better place for having you in it. ❤️

Despite the sheer absurdity and chaos of it all, glad we’re sharing this weird spaceship called Earth during these wild times.

Rooting for you. 🤙

He ded

Maybe stay away from acid 😂

Eh… don’t have kids so I just keep feeding my inner child. 34 and inner child getting fed af lately. 😏

Basically been on a rampage since summer… I’ve been going out to entirely too many shows lately.

That show on HBO is fucking wild

Agreed for sure!

With everything that’s happened since then, today feels real bad tho’.

I still think about what could have been back in 2016…

Relevant af… Been flirting with the idea of finally buying pro DJ gear after like 16 years of being a DJ. Have done a jillion weddings, and a healthy dose of misc functions from corporate shindigs, galas, house parties, bars, etc…

Have limped along so far by borrowing gear whenever I had a proper gig (plenty of friends in the scene) but now I have some fun money budget. The spicy pro gear is soooo stupidly expensive but about time I had real gear off my own. The cereal box bedroom toy deck only gets you so far.

If not dementia, it was a similarly debilitating condition. Wanted to dip on his own terms before he became a husk of himself.

RIP Rob, you were the GOAT.

A very thoughtful write up! Thanks for taking the time.
