What I'm seeing in game is reminding me so much of politics of the last 10 years that I'm starting to have IC and OOC blend, which is scary in my experience. Right now, RP isn't escapism but a reminder of those days. I have these constant assaults in my head where I feel I lack basic competence or any respect from other people - and it reminds me of where I was right at the point of my nervous breakdown.

I don't want deadlines anymore. I don't want process engineers who don't understand that History doesn't have a parts-per-million component bitching over budgets at work. I don't want to see people from my hometown that's over 97% white people venerating police brutality because it gives them the gratification of seeing people they dislike getting "owned" without understanding the long-term consequences.

I just want a slice of the world where I can go and feel like things are right, or are at least going to get objectively better. Where my voice has some sort of value more than a perfunctory "uh huh" or "great".

tootsie roll. toot toot.

Or a motherboards that generally go for $160 being sold for approximately $100 above the mark.

You don't really need any more than 600W for modern high-end PCs these days, 700W if you're using a 2080+.

I have been looking at PSUs between 600 to 750 watts just for the extra thermal headroom, but that's not really the major concern. The concern is that all of the major manufacturers with big brands are either backordered to hell (in some cases 21 to 30 days), or you can get one from some third party with extremely suspect customer service ratings and whose prices are suspiciously high.

of course @Rabid can relate to this

:(

shit man get well soon

Hope you feel better soon Tar

Thanks - I had to take the afternoon off because my mind is in an absolute fog. Coming up on 7 weeks of being housebound, plus working in the same space that I normally use for relaxing (when I used to have a very hard segregation of work and home life), makes stressors all the more pronounced.

Take a break and relax, my man. Forcing yourself into stuff when you aint enjoying it will just cripple you on whatever it is.

Happens to the best of us. Sometimes we need to do other things to refresh ourselves. Refuel those creative juices.

Refurbished office PC I bought at auction to the rescue! It's a surprisingly capable machine.

Newest update: https://nebulous.cloud/threads/coronavirus.46287/page-193#post-1070341 - and a question: are these daily updates useful/helpful? What else can I include, exclude, or modify to make it better?

how dangerous we talkin

like much danger

Right now I'm just running numbers on US COVID-19 case rates, but I might get distracted and do other kinds of statistical simulations. I've been very interested in the physics of pulsed high magnetic fields recently.

I really wish my landlady would have allowed pets at my house...

there is a plump orange cat in my lap uwu

orange cats are great

hope everythings alright man

Honestly I'm doing ok. If anything, the communication skills, rationing discipline, and mental coping mechanisms I've learned since that time have been invaluable. I worry about my parents though, since they're in their early 70s and are really not holding up well mentally.
