    I have two main reasons: I've been taking a mood stabilizer for well over a year now. My psych and I think bipolar is more likely the primary culprit at play. The dreaded sexual side effects. Ugh.

    I've been slowly tapering off my main antidepressant for the last month or two. I'm really sensitive to medications and their effects, so it's a much longer process for me ugh. This last week was pretty rough because I just dropped down to as low as I can go before opening up capsules. Here's the catch, though. Even with all of these hellish side effects, they're not getting to me. I've been able to maintain a strong boundary of non-attachment. I actually feel like there's light at the end of the tunnel even though I can't see it yet. Other than that, things are great.

    I'm currently reading Stiff by Mary Roach. It's the first book I've read in probably close to a year. I really enjoy how easy it is to read and, of course, the subject matter.

    Do any of you have similar recommendations? I've read a few of her other books along with books by Caitlin Doughty and Lindsey Fitzharris.

    I've been on a pretty drawn-out path to not really gaming much these days. The only thing that's been keeping my attention is playing on my friend's Minecraft server for the last couple of months. I had been starting to play a few different ones, enjoyed them for a bit, and immediately lost interest (I also finally got diagnosed with ADHD recently). It feels like the right habit change for me at the moment.

    About a year ago I tried getting into Magic after not playing it for almost 20 years. The IP crossover thing is such trash. I'm sure one could make it work, but I really enjoyed the simplicity of how the game played in the mid/late 90s.

    I just downloaded and installed Fritzing. It's software for designing electronic circuits. As a noise weirdo I want to design another simple triple triangle wave oscillator circuit, this time with a pot for starving the voltage coming in for extra nastiness. My previous project was put together on stripboard and it totally works! Ideally I'd like to get it all mocked up in Fritzing and see how much it would cost to get the PCB fabbed. I know there's like 10 people in the entire world who'd want one, so it would be rad to mount them in weird-ass boxes, etc., to sell.

    This rules. I've used Motorola phones for years. My Pixel 7 Pro's screen got destroyed a month or so ago. I was running GrapheneOS but the screen replacement cost is ridiculous, so I just switched to a Moto Play. I would love to have GrapheneOS back (as long as RCS works).

    I had tickets to see Mayhem in 2001 but the show was cancelled because they missed their flight. I've seen them since but I really wanted to experience Maniac as the vocalist.
    Not getting to see Ronnie James Dio will always be a big regret. I didn't find out till after his death that I was such a fan of his singing.

    Glad the switch has been running smoothly for you, so welcome to Club Penguin! I've been on Linux full time for a few years now (I run Arch btw).

    Shameless self-plug: The "music" I've been making over the last few months. It varies from noise wall to drone noise. I created a new track less than a week ago and I like to go back and review the previous things I've done. It's all free on bandcamp if anyone's interested.

    Other than that I'm still on an Emperor kick. For more background/dark ambient I can never get enough Lustmord - that's been on rotation and he's always a big inspiration for my creativity.

    I also have a general issue with most cheese. Mozzarella on pizza is a rule braker, though.

    Eggs. Unless they're baked into a pastry or something similar, they're an absolute no for me. Every aspect is beyond foul.

    Very simple stuff:

    Breakfast: Peanut butter sandwich
    Lunch: Yogurt & granola
    Dinner: Chicken breast thawed in the Instant Pot sauteed with frozen vegetables, sometimes with rice

    I've also been drastically bringing down my coffee consumption since it's been bothering my stomach a little for the first time ever. It could also be a combination with my meds, who knows? Also, with these improvements with my eating habits I've lost a few pounds which is nice.
