What's the best part of your life right now?

[nayfun@lemmy.world]

I'm a month away from completing my union electrician apprenticeship. It's been a lot of work, and there is plenty more to come. But after five years of working towards something, it'll be nice to reach a big milestone.

Living the absolute dream, that sounds like an amazing new venture and I wish you well in all of your future projects

Cats rule ️

[flamangoman@leminal.space]

Well done, that's a hell of an accomplishment that will set you up for life, world will always need sparkies

Partner and kitties. When they (kitties) aren't screaming at me while I'm on the phone for work while wfh. So fucking rude. That's sarcasm. No one seems able to infer it anymore.

… not much.

My romantic life is painful and turbulent at best.
My job is collapsing because of the tariffs.
I owe too much on my car to keep it if I lose my job and it needs a new clutch anyways, which is about $3000 that I don’t have for the cheap one.
Family is distant, cold, and unsupportive.
My government is doing its best to make life (as a trans person) as painful as possible.
Best friend died last year, my only other friend has just kinda fallen off the face of the earth.
My hobbies are frustrating and unfulfilling.
I have vivid nightmares nightly.
My body is deteriorating to the point of near disability.
I eat the same shitty $5 chicken sandwhich every day.
Insurance won’t cover therapy and suicide seems more and more likely by the day.

My coffee was warm this morning though so, I guess I’ve got that going for me today.

Damn, that's all so very heavy. Honestly, I wish I had prefaced this post in some way, because the truth of the matter is that not everyone is feeling happiness these days. I'm really sorry, especially for the persecution trans people are experiencing, y'all unequivocally do not deserve any of that. I hope things improve, and that you're able to find peace, safety, and meaningful happiness in your life, you deserve it ️

Cats are brats but too cute so they can get away with whatever

The closest friend i made since moving abroad alone 2 years ago, changed their mind and they are not moving out of the city.
Also, two of my favorite bands put out killer new albums that fit the eternal combo of coffee+tobacco really well

Sobriety. 2 years 3 months since I've drank.

Still relearning some aspects of being an adult. Figuring out who I am. Picking up old hobbies again and trying new ones. So many things bring me joy nowadays where it used to only be alcohol that triggered the ol happy brain chemicals.

I'm in a much better place than I was a couple years ago when I was abusing alcohol as a coping mechanism.

Seeing Jason probably

[glytch@lemmy.world]

Getting together with my friends online a couple times a week to play R.E.P.O.. I've been going through a rough patch with my fiance recently and being able to get out of my head and sneak around haunted houses has been really helpful

[rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

Have you played Raw Danger? It’s one of the best PS2 games. It’s so… PS2 era. I love it so much.

[yrmitz@lemmy.ml]

The fact that this all is going to end sooner or later.

[maeve@kbin.earth]

Thunder, lightening, the sound of rain on my window.

[mybuttnolie@sopuli.xyz]

I discovered pcsx2 (ps2 emulator) a week ago and have been playing granturismo 4, so happy!

[none_dc@lemmy.world]

Its in my play-list! I may play it next after I finish Psychonauts.

[none_dc@lemmy.world]

Pcsx2 is the best it can be nowadays. I remember using it years ago and how difficult it was to configure it, but now it runs like silk even on outdated hardware like my PC, I don't know what black magic the team behind it did.
After the original hardware, pcsx2 it's the best option to play the Ps2 gems.

[maeve@kbin.earth]

Thank you for this thread. I'm a little misty-eyed and feeling so wonderfully blessed. Pumpkin Tikka masala and coffee for breakfast (I know, right?!), mixed greens, tomatoes, blueberries, strawberries, mozzarella with good balsamic vinegar for lunch, for the time in months, I made a half-gallon of iced tea, sweetened with local raw honey, fur baby sleeping next to me as I enjoy the sound of the storm, outside. So many have no meal, no roof, no companion. It's nice reading the simple pleasures here. No one mentioned their private jet, Bugatti, haute coture. It's nice when we recognize the real riches life grants us.

Yusssss! I’m going through Psychonauts right now as well, LOVE the game! I don’t have a place for my CRT TV right now, so I’m on a computer for that one.

I REALLY wanna bust out my CRT and PS2 and Afterhurner and play some DDR Extreme sooooo badly
