Glad you have someone. If you haven’t already, therapy might be something to look at. I went through five or six sessions a year ago and I was surprised how much it helped. I may be an internet stranger, but I’m willing to listen! All the love
I’m sorry you have to deal with that. Do you have others you can rely on? 🫂
We’ve tried. Unfortunately he has not been open to the idea at all
Thank you! Despite my childhood, I’ve been lucky enough to marry a wonderful woman and have some fantastic kids! The future looks pretty dang good!
Going NC with my dad after my grandmas funeral
My dad is a classic narcissist. Everyone was put on this earth to serve him. If you don’t do what he wants, you’re a worthless terrible person. It was not uncommon for him to get physically abusive, but not enough to leave suspicious marks. I went low contact with him three years ago when he yelled at my autistic, non-verbal daughter because she was being “too loud.”
My Grandma (his mom) died a week and a half ago. He demanded we all help go through her stuff on the Fourth of July. He figured we weren’t working, and couldn’t possibly have anything else to do. My older brother, myself and my younger sister said sorry we all have plans, but we’re happy to do it this weekend. He stormed off, and later told my sister that getting married to our mom and having kids was the worst decision of his life. She called me crying.
My wife and I talked things through and decided we are going no contact with him after the funeral, which was yesterday. I don’t need to have that kind of stress in my life, and I don’t want my kids to experience anything like I had to growing up.
I put the tape on for the picture so I could share it with some of my more “sensitive” friends
Appreciate the input! I hadn’t considered getting a stream deck, but I may have to look into one for work.
These are fair points. I’ll have to take a look. I’m just getting into Stardew valley, which I think would work pretty well. I also play a bit of fallout and skyrim We have a switch (I won it at an IT convention a few years ago) but I haven’t been a big fan of the controllers. My hands a fairly small, but the joycons are a bit smaller and than I prefer
I always wondered, how does emulation work for the motion control of the wii?
I was thinking of getting the smallest. I know steam says it isn’t user serviceable, but I’m fairly confident I’d be able to swap out the drive if needed
Considering a steam deck
I’ve been considering purchasing a steam deck. My pc is in my office, which limits interaction with the rest of the family if I want to play anything. I’ve tried playing mobile games, but just can’t get use to the controls. Think it’s worth getting one?
