If you're an artist trying to source commisions, here is a prime example of how NOT to do it!

First time I've ever been asked to tip someone who is soliciting me 😂

My feed is all over the place because of my likes 💀.

I don't like posts because I'm interested in the topic, I just like things that make me think "aww that's nice"

At least my feed is full of positive things 🥲

As someone with #ADHD who wanted to get into meditating but couldn't because I need concrete instructions to do anything 😂 this video and box breathing made a huge difference! Hopefully this helps someone 😊

honestly if you're that obsessed with the 90's, just get into Doom wads or Mario romhacks or making throwback 90's electronica like the rest of us tbh. that's a much better use of your time.

buying video games to fill up your steam library is a different hobby to actually playing the games lol

My current policy is any time the thumbnail for a YouTube video is the creator mogging for the camera in an absurdly over-emotive pose I will not click. I just do not believe that whatever easter egg they left in this game produced that reaction in you, I simply do not buy it. I cannot be persuaded.

It's bizzare how the symptoms of ADHD / Autism shown in media never includes the most difficult to deal with symptoms like executive disfunction or burnout.
Honestly hate how social media portrays ADHD as this cute and fun disorder. “Ooops forgot to take out the trash again , darn my adhd LOL” like this shit is NOT fun and so much more complex than forgetting things.

Unpopular opinion, but I actively dislike DLC.

When I finish a game, I’m done with it. Adding DLC months later when I no longer remember how to play the game properly is wasteful for me.

I’d rather studios just work on their next game rather than add DLC.

Deleted Tiktok because I fear it was melting my brain.

One day later and I'm *so* bored.

Really want to get into a good retro RPG! Can any of you all recommend me some good RPGs from no later than the PSX era? (I'll also take some GBA RPGs!) 🙏

When I was younger and owned a PS2 I had like 20 games over the course of 8 years. I beat all of them. Played them multiple times.

I can’t imagine having access to what I have access to now back then.

Over 500 games, some I beat, some I haven’t. It’s crazy 🤪

The iridescent controllers are on sale, but I can’t tell if I LOVE this or not. It’s not 30th anniversary controller, but she’s cute, right?

It feels as though we have lost the art of lingering these days, everything feels so rushed…
Fast food, fast fashion, sped-up songs, replacing longer form YouTube vlogs with “in your face”short-form TikToks, people in their twenties feeling as though they are “too old”.

The OG! I picked Bulbasaur cause he was the first pokeball I picked and didn't even bother checking the others 😂

It’s frustrating how so many game reviews these days are either "masterpiece" or "failure." Most games I’ve played in the last few years have been okay, not groundbreaking, but fun or interesting in their own way. We need to appreciate games for what they are instead of demanding perfection 🎮

If you are my friend and I text you, and you don’t respond until over 24 hours later, just don’t even worry about it. I have moved on. I am a new person. I go by a new name. I have a new life now.

Been doing a randomised starter run on #Pokemon Emerald and have a new found love for Kecleon 😂. Any of you guys ever found yourself loving a Pokemon you barely knew existed before after randomly using them?
