Like for me, I used to play games like Vcop2, House of the dead, Roadrash, GTA etc but when I played and finished Assassin's Creed 2 for the first time in 2012, I realised that gaming is so much more than what people think. The combination of beautiful story, great graphics and gameplay had got me.
It was then I realised what gaming meant to me. I am sure you guys must be having similar stories, do share them!

Summary
After what you thought was a dream, you woke up in a nice, warm bed, hugging a little cat plushie. When you leave the house, there’s a big forest surrounding you, and lots of new people. There are so many things you are not used to here, and that makes you and the beast feel a little bit… off.

(School is killing me, but I'm back :D... And you thought we were going to be wholesome all the time? Ha, yeah, sure...)
Remember to go to the sunlight at least 5 minutes per day and keep hydrated. Me and my cat sends virtual hugs. Bye bye.

Howdy!
I'm not a native Austinite but I will be in town for Oblivion Access fest June 13-18th, and I'm looking for someone cool to hangout with at the show's. I have the full festival pass or whatever you call it, so I'm gonna be at pretty much every show. I'm a disabled dude with a mild case of cerebral palsy, so I don't get much of a chance to get out of the house and be social, so I figured why not just shoot my shot and see what happens? I'm not looking to fuck, I'm not even especially interested in a date, but I'm open if things go that way. Mainly just want someone I can chill with.
I'm a part time research assistant at a psychology lab, I have a master's degree in philosophy and a B.A. in Psychology, I like to read and listen to music and go to the (very occasional) concert. I'm hyped as hell for the festival, big fan of a lot of the acts in the lineup, probably most hyped to see a reunited yellow swans (big noise music fan.)
I'm not really sure what I'm looking for, but if you're interested send some orange and say hello! Let's live a little and see where things go.

Lets say the government develops lots of housing, and then rents out these housing at below market prices in an effort to drive down rental prices from private owners. Would this theoretically work/be more effective than rental price caps?
​
Lets say they rent out lots of houses for $250-300/week with tenants changing every 4-6 months.

It's plenty of fun, but just not quite the same, you know?
Straight off the bat, although I'll freely admit to wanting some healthy naughtiness at some point in time, that's not entirely what this is about. I'm separated from my wife and living alone, away from my kids. I'm trying to build my life back up from rock bottom, and it's a lonely place. I don't have any friends where I'm living, outside of colleagues, so I'm just trying to put myself out there a bit more in a vain attempt to make a connection with someone.
In a perfect world, ideally this person would be made of flesh and blood (i.e real!), busty, curvy in the right places, with good legs. That's the dream anyway, but if you don't happen to be Jessica Rabbit then still keep reading!
Redheads go to the top of the list. If you happen to enjoy sharing pics of lingerie, stockings, and heels, well, that is an immediate win.
Let's share our day, get to know each other, and have some adult fun times. I'm in need of a human touch. It's been far too long.
There's more about me in my profile, but anything you'd like to know just ask. Essentially though, I'm 5'5 (yes, I know. I'm short), hairy chest on a maintained Dad-bod. Gainfully employed, fully house-trained, can hold my own in most conversations, and have a few things I enjoy. I'm mostly an open book, and certainly not shy.

I feel like mobility aids have been brought up in this subreddit a lot, so I just wanted to put this out there.
Do not use your cane like Doctor House! Using a cane improperly, or not knowing how to use one while starting, and hobbling with your cane can actually make it more difficult to walk and can cause injury. Which is why I wanted to make this post, after discovering my own grandmother doesn’t know how to use a cane properly, and it was causing her pain.
First set your cane height. You want the top of your cane to come up to your wrist when standing in a relaxed position. When you buy a cane (if you haven’t already), measure to make sure that the adjustments will fit in that range. If you are on the shorter side, you might need to do some DIY hacksawing on commercially available canes. Using a cane that it too high will give you wrist pain (heck properly used ones can too, which is why looking at ergonomic options is something I recommend). Too low will probably result in back pain.
Next walk with your cane. If you have a bum leg, or one that needs extra support that day, hold your cane in the opposite hand. Now take a step, extending both your cane, and your opposite side leg at the same time. Your cane will now mirror that leg as you walk. Practice this with both hands if you’re mainly using a cane for stability, and assuming it’s not ergonomic (hand specific). If you have some hypermobility, focus on keeping your wrist in line with your forearm as you extend your arm, and then not hyperextending your wrist as your body moves past your cane.
If you’re new to this, practice before you leave the house. Have a wall nearby to help you as you practice walking and working the muscles you’ll be using.
As you use your cane more, consider if you need a different grip or style cane due to pain or convenience. There are plenty of styles (rounded handle, foam handle, strong arm, four legged, foldable, chair included, replaceable tips, ergonomic, walking stick) to look at, but if you’re new to this I’d recommend your standard medical cane (7 shaped) with a foam handle, or a foldable one if you travel—since these are usually the cheapest and most available.
I would also recommend looking at different cane tips, since there are the standard ones, then there are also ones with larger bases (in several styles) for more stability, and there are even some mildly rounded ones for better floor grip.
If a cane doesn’t work for you, consider a different mobility aid. Need more support? Try forearm crutches (You use them almost the exact same way as a cane but now you have one for each leg), or a rollator (especially if you need more support and often need to sit), or a wheelchair (obviously wouldn’t recommend immediately if you’re still in the process of trying out a cane, but you get my point).
Ok now with this information, go out into the world and slay all the ableist chumps with your new weapon! Decorate your cane if you want, and make it yours!
I really hope this helps someone, as I think it was information I needed when I started with mobility aids. I didn’t even know there was a proper way to use a cane when I bought one.

Hey Mind Controllers, I’ve been a meditator for years and have switched over to practicing Silva for a few months.
I act for a living- and I am curious about how I can use Silva to help my work.
Specifically, I want to visualize the past circumstances of my characters so that I have the memories of my past living within. The issue becomes the amount of detail, I want to live in an imaginary world on stage and on screen. Example- Say I come home, That house has a past to me, my wife an I have past memories together, the coffee cup I use has a history, the clothing I wear has a history, the place I put my keys, where I kick off my shoes, what I do when I get home and why. The circumstances of the situation at hand, basically a relationship to everything that is discussed and not discussed. Relationship to the situation.
I usually do a pretty good job of not having to act and just be, but I feel that an Oscar is a step away if I can just believe these things all together between action and cut.
Unfortunately While trying this I have to pull myself out to read my notes as a reminder of what is next to create a memory of.
Has anyone attempted anything like this and do you think there is a more efficient way?

HELP
All week I have been looking for this very specific book so I can reread it. I can’t remember if it’s a hockey romance or what but I know it’s a college romance.
So basically the girl is in a house with a bunch of other people and they really don’t like this guy that she has started seeing. He picks her up at said house and when they walk out the the car and start being a cuddly knowing they are watching he goes into kiss i think and she says something along the lines of “no they are watching” and he says something along the lines of “let them watch” and it was super cute. Anyway I digress, they are like an astrology project to do together and so he takes her out into some random field.
Yea that’s all I can remember. Sorry if this didn’t make sense. Mind you I haven’t read this book in, I think, a year and I’ve just had the nag recently to reread it but I can’t for the life of me figure out which book it was. I hope someone can help. 😭

Hi everyone! I'm fairly new to purchasing/trying indie fragrances; I came across Death and Floral while browsing social media and was super intrigued. I purchased a handful of samples along with some 5ml rollerballs. Again I'm not very experienced with fragrances, but here's my very basic review of the ones that I've tried so far :)
Capitalist Figs - Black figs, blackened honey wine, and swirling black sugar on a bed of black patchouli
I feel like capitalist figs was one of the stronger fragrances that I purchased. Opening the tester bottle I immediately got hit with strong wave a patchouli followed by a general sweetness (I'm guessing the black sugar?) I didn't get any notes of fig unfortunately, mostly just patchouli. I don't think this fragrance is for me, but I would really enjoy smelling it on someone else. Rating: 3.5/5
Doomsday - Overdried dead grass, cool menthol tea, black currant, sage, dried acorns, tobacco.
Really interesting scent! I would imagine this as a great fall fragrance; it reminds me of walking through the woods on a really cool, crisp, fall morning. Dried grass, acorns, and crunchy leaves were the first things I picked up on when smelling. I picked up in a little bit of tobacco, but I did not smell any menthol tea. Rating: 4/5
Electric Feel (May 2023 SOTM) - A blend of different electricity accords; hot wires, neon signs, tv static fuzz, the electricity that rumbles inside a thunderstorm.
I'm gonna be honest, I don't really know how to describe this one. I guess my best describing words would be intense, spicy, a little acrid..? My friend said it smelled like warm plastic or kinda like the hot air that comes off an old CRT television or playstation. It's not entirely unpleasant to smell, but just really interesting. Rating: ???/5
Freshly Dead (July 2022 SOTM) - Lavender, rosemary, mint, apples, carrot seeds, fresh tomato.
I was really excited for this fragrance. I'm not sure if it's just the way the fragrance reacts with my skin, but the scent of Freshly Dead is SO faint when I apply it. I feel like 10-15 minutes after application the scent is almost entirely gone. Although very faint, It's super light and refreshing. Fresh, crisp apple followed by mint and light lavender were the first notes I picked up on. It quickly dries down into a slightly savory/vegetal note, which I'm presuming is either the carrot seed or tomato. I love the scent, I just wish it worked with my skin/were formulated to be stronger. Rating: 3.5/5
Somedays in Oz - Fresh garden mint, wall-climbing ivy, spicy juniper, orris butter.
This was another scent that was beautiful but very quiet and subtle. The application did not last very long on my skin, maybe about 15-20 minutes. I found it to be a refreshing mixture of primarily mint followed by other green/floral notes (I presume what I'm mostly smelling is the wall-climbing ivy...?) My one friend loved this scent, and said that this is exactly what she would imagine the land of Oz to smell like, and I agree! Rating: 3.5/5
The Deadly Poppy Field - Green and watery flowers, soaked earth, lily-of-the-valley, slightly sweet red poppies, the sweet lingering of a memory.
I loved this scent; I was looking for something green/herbal/earthy and she delivered! This reminds me of wet, fresh cut grass in the summer heat; planting fresh flowers and being covered in damp soil. Intensely green and earthy, and I loved it! Rating: 5/5
The End is Here - Vanilla coke, bourbon, fleeing animals, the musk of an infinite black void.
I picked this one up simply because of the description. What does fleeing animals and the musk of a black void smell like? The first things I picked up on were presumably the vanilla coke and musk note. It's very pleasant, warm, and inviting. I applied this one before I went to work and got multiple compliments from my coworkers. Additionally, one rollerball application to a few pulse points lasted a good 5-6ish hours on my skin. I really enjoy this one and will re-purchase once this rollerball is finished. Rating: 4/5
The People You Love Become Ghosts Inside You - *Heavenly musk, lingering funeral flowers, cold scent of vanilla in an empty corridor, handprints on a foggy window (*Notice: ‘The people you love become ghosts inside you‘ is a heavy atmospheric that has been reported to cause feelings of intense emotion and is sometimes unpleasant in its vulnerability. Not for the faint-hearted!)
WOW! This has to be one of the most unique/complex fragrances that I have ever smelled. Lingering scents of an old church, funeral parlor, maybe an old uninhabited house...? I don't know how Death and Floral can get these descriptions so accurate. Floral notes but they're not fresh, more leaning towards dried/withering flowers. I've never smelled vanilla used like this before. It truly is cold (almost medicinal...?) combined with the musk and floral notes. Reminds me of cold linoleum/tile floors, cobwebs, dusty books, dimly lit rooms, etc. Rating: 5/5
Overall I had a ton of fun testing/smelling these fragrances! I will be purchasing more in the future; excited to see what comes next!

​
Earlier in the year my mom had gone out with my stepdad and had a little bit too much to drink, later at night my sister had received a phone call from my stepdad saying that my mom was driving and she was drunk (they had taken separate cars so she was driving alone). When we called our mom no one was picking up the phone and I knew that something bad had happened, when we called again a stranger answered the phone. They said she had been in an accident, they told us where they were and my sister and I got there. It's a very difficult accident to explain, but my mom didn't have any injuries whatsoever. My mom was so lucky that she didn't take the highway because she would dead, the next day when she woke up she promised my sister and I that she wouldn't drink again. My mom still drinks in the house where it's safe, but it makes me uncomfortable seeing that she is drinking the thing that could've killed her that day. I dont want to talk to her about it because I act like it doesn't bother me, bit it does. it also bothers me that roughly two days after the incident my stepdad bought her alcohol, and the only reason why I know this is because I heard the bottle of Champagne open in the room. I kinda hate her for it and i hate that my stepdad still buys it for her.
BTW: The night of the incident my stepdad was drunk too and I always see him sneaking around alcohol in the house, I act like i dont see it, but I do, my sister also doesn't live with us anymore so I dont rly have any support ( not like id tell her anyways). And the way the accident happened is a crazy story, my mom was driving locally and I presume she fell asleep on the steering wheel and she ended up hitting a tree, I think she was driving really slow because the car wastnt too damaged, as of the strangers that answered the phone, they apparently saw the car and went to check it out and thats when they found her.
Hopefully all this makes sense, if you guys want more info then just lmk.

I went over to my friends house and she gave me some of her pj pants to change into so I can get comfortable. I had to change back into my regular pants because my parents were already picking me up. I took a good 45 seconds changing my pants, my friend laughed and said that I was fast with changing my pants, I laughed and said yeah I’m used to it cause my aunt used to rush me in the dressing rooms so I’m used to it. Im not sure if this was trauma dumping or not..

Moved into a house and have no clue what this pad was for. This is in the backyard. Not sure if relevant, but this home had an in-ground pool at one point.

Hi good people of hyderabad,
I would be using Porter's house shifting services. I can get up to 15% off by entering a Packer and Mover discount code.
If you have this code, it would be great if you can share this with me!
Thanks in advance!

So this time last week was when I took a bottle and a half of the zazas silvers and destroyed my life as I know it. I usually would dose the reds that way but bought silvers as they were out of reds. I had no idea what the phenibut would do to me. I blacked out and when I came to family members and cops where in my house and I became very aggressive and breaking shit.afyer the cops left my wife was gonna leave so I decided I would jump in my truck and leave first... Well I went out at some point doing 80 to 90 mph they say and flipped my truck 8 times untill I hit a pine tree 15 ft up in the air not wearing a seatbelt...walked away with a broken nose and two black eyes. I've been battling this for almost a year been cought by my wife several times. Just been stuck in the tia cycle. So when I was released from the hospital I went back to our destroyed home and played there detoxing for four days with zero sleep until a cop served me with a court date for a restraining order from my wife... At this point I have moved in with my business partner and his family and am trying to rebuild. My wife told me she was filing for divorce today. Which is day 7 no tia. I'm past the physical stuff besides pain from the wreck... But mentally I am totally broken and still not sleeping. Anyone reading this please stop taking this shit now before you end up like this.

It feels like so much. Alone vacuum (the hole house I guess) clean backyard, dust and wash windows would be things I would never all put in one day.
I mean you probably could, but when would you have time for the family?
