What's Bothering You?

I feel you. I’ve been waiting for Nintendo to add Donkey Kong 64 and Diddy Kong Racing to NSO for over three years. By law, they do have the right to go after third-party emulators that pirate their games, but the fact that they refuse to release some older games when they release other older games isn’t a good business practice and is a good way to lose retro gamers as customers.
I'm particularly mad about the fact that you can't even own these games anymore. at least with Virtual Console you could buy a game, and you'd own it. nowadays they make you pay for a license to play the game. you don't own it. they're practically encouraging piracy at that point.
 
I saw someone on a server talking about how Steven Universe shoves LGBT themes at kids.

I just told them “lol no you’re wrong” (because I refuse benefit of the doubt on this) but just… months ago here or even there I was saying I’m sick of more people posting thinly veiled queerphobia online and yeah we’re just there now. Screw this.
 
Whenever I'm relatively content or even half happy my balloon always gets burst. I am really sick and tired of this. I always get the 'You're overreacting', 'I didn't mean it like that' or my personal favourite - which is 99 times out of 100 guaranteed 'It's not your time of the month, is it?' line. They always doubt me which causes me to doubt myself. I did something to help them a few weeks ago and they had to check it to make sure it was done right. They were reluctant to admit it, but it was done correctly. 😒
 
I really don't wanna say too much about it, but I feel ignored and that bothers me.

Time also feels so slow, and I'm beginning to doubt I'll be able to see a movie I'm excited to watch on my preferred date. I could ride a bus to the mall and get a ticket on my own, but my parents won't let me do that even though we have one near us; not until my mom teaches me, at least. ;-;

That sounds like the person is from the alt-right. Next time you see comments like these, report them.
 
I'm so drained. I fell asleep before 9pm last night and was still exhausted when my alarm went off for work. Only way to describe how I feel when waking up in the mornings right now is like the flu, or a really bad hangover, but it passes within an hour or so.

Living with multiple (five, and expecting a sixth diagnosis) chronic illnesses is tough. I'm in and out of hospital so frequently at the moment. And emotional/mental stress exacerbates them.

On that note, I found out Granddad's cremation is on Wednesday. I'm hoping that once the cremation has happened I can just start feeling more human again. That period of limbo when someone close to you passes but hasn't been put to rest is tough.
 
The two eaglets I watch on Southwest Florida Eagle cam passed away unexpectedly. They had seizures. I decided to listen to this ABBA song in remembrance.
It’s recently been revealed that the eaglets tested positive for the bird flu. Poor babies. And they can’t test their parents bc they are constantly in flight.

Birds of prey are also more likely to get this disease.

Yeah it's annoying. Lots are paying a subscription to play these classics, but once that service ends it's gone. I've been actually wondering the same about New Horizon. They never released a 2.0 version of the game. So what's their plan with that? 10 years from now we'll just have the incomplete 2020 launch version?
 
Just rambling about my mom again
My mom has been incredibly fussy lately and I can't help but think she's losing her mind. Her mom passed from dementia so it's possible. She started crying and screaming over the newspaper this morning and I had to take it away. It was a picture of a woman and her baby in the Congo dealing with war and my mom could not handle it. We already can't watch the news cause she will have a full blown meltdown over anything sad. I showed her goats on Instagram until she was smiling again but I am very drained and feeling guilty about being drained.
 
Never good enough for anyone or anything, I think :")
I feel this way more and more extreme lately. I don't think I can do anything right, no matter how hard I desperately try. I don't have anything to offer to my loved ones, or the ones I care about. Which makes me feel so utterly useless. I don't think there's anything I'm good at, to show everyone I care about that I love them.

I got my hair done today, and as much as I love it.. all of the weight I've gained just makes me feel.. :") Not great at all. I really took advantage of being 200 lbs, because now that I'm 270 lbs, I don't know what to do with myself. I called myself fat at 200, so now what am I :^/ I used to look so slim.. now everytime I take a picture of myself I feel like.. nauseated. I have severe body dysmorphia and a potential eating disorder according to my therapist, so that's cool too I guess :lemon: Everything is fine, haha. Everything is so fine.
 
I don't know much about tourettes aside from you guys sadly getting a bad rap, but you are right that touching your face may be a factor as well.

Yeah hah! We do get a bad rap, because people who make TV shows or movies always focus on the extreme for comedic purposes. Most people with tourettes syndrome don't randomly yell curse words. It's an extreme situation in which that happens. But the entertainment industry loves to use that for a laugh.

The rest of us just have what most people would call "nervous tics". (Hard blinking of the eyes often, sniffing, clearing throats, rolling of the shoulders... there are a lot more....).

I would prefer not to go into more detail at this time, but I want to thank you for giving me skincare advice! I believe I can still learn a few things, but I don't think this thread is the place to continue on.

Feel free to PM me, or... if you think it would help others, start a new thread about skincare? You can reference me to get it started! Either way, I really appreciate you @seliph for helping! Thank you!
