This album makes me happy: Lemon Jelly - Lost Horizons

But also my big bushel of protobeans

There are about 15 of them and they're always happy to see you! Except the shork bean, who is always happy to chew on you.

Oh this does make me happy!

I finally got my ADHD medicine refilled after months of issues.

When I'm on it, it's like I remember how to be happy (I also have Depression).

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh that's great! I have depression too. I'm thinking about trying to go back to therapy.

There's a 1/81 probablity that I am her crush :)

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How'd you calculate that? 9 people, and everyone has exactly one crush?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

So, Here's how I calculated it. She have 81 followers on Instagram. She told me That her crush follow her. If I only count Boys then probability will increase.

I have been collecting game consoles for nearly a decade, and the collection is beginning to round off. I have nearly every Atari, Sega, Nintendo, PlayStation, and Xbox console released in North America. It has taken a long time, and a lot of deal finding, but it is a rewarding task/hobby.

Thank you for your time.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That is so great! I only have a PS1 and PS4 currently.

Do you play them?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Unfortunately time isn’t something I have much of, but when I do I try my best to sit down and play something. I usually tend to lean towards my NES or Super Nintendo, but I just recently got an Atari Jaguar and a copy of Doom. So that’s been the latest time waster : )

Have any good ones for your PS1? I always loved Crash Bandicoot 3, childhood classic for me!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I have one of my favorite games on it: Final Fantasy IX

I'd like to get the original Resident Evil, but the PS1 version is super expensive now

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Trust me when I say; The video game market went up during Covid, and now it just denies to go back down. I’ve bought a couple consoles from Japan just because they’re cheaper, and some of them are region free.

Something that makes me happy is having a personal project to work on. Like right now, I'm brainstorming and doing research for writing a fanfic. Have I ever written a fic before? No. Will I actually write this one? It doesn't matter. I'm having fun preparing for it, and if I get distracted by some other project and start working on that instead, and the cycle perpetuates indefinitely and I never finish a single project, it doesn't matter. I'm enjoying the journey.

I’m going to go for a nice nature hike this weekend. It’s going to be cold outside but just the right kind of cold where my fingers don’t get numb, and my face gets and stays chilly the whole time. Will be good. High chance of seeing a squirrel or squirrel like creature. I’ve got this perfect windbreaker that works great. I will probably start with silicon earbuds and music in but eventually take them off to really get some nature sounds in my life.

I will just have iced coffee in the morning, water during the day, and then just absolutely demolish some Mexican food on rare cheat meal after the hike.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

That sounds so great. I can't wait until spring so I can do this too.

Making a nice meal for friends and family.

Which reminds me I haven't made buttermilk fried chicken in a while..

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

Looking in the mirror after doing my hair :3

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women.

That and showing my niece and nephew shows I liked when I was a kid and them also enjoying em.

I was in a work call today that ended with someone saying "Let's celebrate with more coffee!"

Guru energy drink is your friend. Acting like you are working is your profession for the day.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I'm drinking Fanta Zero, but maybe I should switch to something with caffeine

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Fire walk scenes in movies. You know its a dude in a suit, acting his heart out for a few brief moments of glory on screen, while on fire! Bonus if they’re falling off a building or something epic

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

I enjoy the sexy times, my man.

Korean fried chicken always makes my day better

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

An episode of Star Trek after a long day.

My friends/sibling.

Researching my niche interests/finding out I share a niche interest with someone.

Taking a mental health walk.

Snacking unhealthy amounts of camembert, drinking black tea and Berber (green tea with spearmint) tea, snacking cucumber.

Eating good Falafel/Sushi/Asian/Middle-Eastern cuisine.

A good workout/feeling completely exhausted after doing martial arts.

Being able to help other people.

And because of your username: playing TotK.

My wife let me buy a Prelude for my birthday last year. It was a big deal because we don't normally have the cash on hand to just buy a car, and she put off some house projects she really wanted to get done to let me do it. The car does need some TLC, but it still runs and drives good half a year later. Sometimes people throw me a shaka sign or a thumbs up. I love getting to drive stick again. It makes driving fun, like I'm 16 again. Feels good, man. I'm one lucky guy, and my wife just gets me.

Seeing other people happy makes me happy.
Making other people happy gives me life.

And I've managed to make huuuge progress concerning certain blahaj-related things, and that is just... can't even put it into words, really

A large bowl of a very spicy Miso Ramen and a cold can of Red Bull® 473ml always makes my day

[–] andrew_bidlaw 5 points 1 year ago

Consuming some japanese media with fast noodles. When I download a new tittle or start a new game it feels almost like a ritual to eat them. That's nothing like ramem MCs are consuming on-screen and not very healthy if eaten for long, yet it's fun.

I was approached by a guy who recently moved to the area and needed help getting some things printed. I walked with him halfway to the library and we chatted about stuff. Hope to see him around town again

Nice warm homemade food with friends while watching something you all can laugh at, it's one of the best feelings

I took today off, and I'm just doing hobbies and enjoying myself with my cats sleeping next to me.

My baby's smile

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I've been wanting to get into a new hobby but damn hobbies can be expensive. But it's giving me a sense of excitement I haven't had in a while and it breaks up the monotony of the working grind.

The one I'm trying to get into is homemade FPV drones. Building from scratch, just like building a PC. Sourcing the frame, motor, electronics. Soldering and configuring. Flight testing and tinkering. More fun I think than just buying an off-the-shelf DJI Mavic.

The parts themselves don't cost all that much but it adds up fast.
