Never thought I'd be able to head out again but the agoraphobia has toned down after 5+ years. Farthest I've ever been from home in a long time.

And again, I'm reminded that I didn't choose an ordinary life. I need a beer.

I've come to realize that the big #MUD community discord server is basically a car meet where your MUD is your car, and the devs casually geek out about their latest tune-ups and cool new features.
It's pretty wholesome, but I can't help but feel like the odd Nobody driving a rickety rustbucket.

I went for a walk outside for the first time since my anxiety disorder turned me agoraphobic as hell (6 years ago).
The nausea was manageable this time. Stomach didn't turn either. Finally, some progress.

I don't get how someone can be so proud of working overtime without compensation.
He brags about #dedication, working 18 hours a day, and posts it all over his X and tags his bosses. But I think it's just ass-kissing for zero return and it's going to burn away your health.

Do you ever feel like some people just operate on a different frequency? Like you can be nice to them, you can be friendly, but there's just no chemistry for anything below surface-level acquaintanceship, and you just never "get" each other.

First heard of bokchoy through Harvest Moon but never had it until last year. Great for simple but healthy cooking. No wonder it's one of the first crops you handle in the game.

I've spent the past few days playing #EmpireMUD with a few friends who have never played a #MUD before.
They got so addicted, stopped playing Deadlock, kept thinking about strategies for their text-based adventures. I'd log on and one would already be playing by himself, learning more commands.

I see #Wicked has really been hyping up the sequel.

I used to write "by accident" and then people at work kept going "on accident" so I find that I interchange both... I don't like it.

I feel like Bluesky has more academics and X has more startup owners spewing "content" about how they made $100k last month, are 19 y/o, and are now on a yacht.

I didn't know how to cook when I first started working on this #cookinggame.
Since then, I've been slowly learning and making simple dishes. It's given me lots of insight and I've been eating healthier since.
But every now and then, I experiment with #mushrooms and add a shit ton of cayenne...

Many artists I know have this fear of GenAI, but I remember a friend's art teacher telling their class it's only going to push artists to move in whole new directions in order to create human-made work that's distinguishable from the computer-generated.
Perhaps we'll see a flash of brilliance soon.

There are 27% fewer art teachers in England today than there were in 2011, and the proportion of students taking arts subjects has plummeted. Here’s what it’s like to work in a job that is essential and often perilously undervalued
