post an image of your favorite pokemon or pokemon character and write something good that happened to you this week

Today my boss was going to throw out our old display mug that we've had since forever. I've used this mug as a demo to sell other mugs, and with the line discontinued and the lid partially broken we were supposed to toss it. So I took it home instead, the liquid seal still works, and the attached bluetooth speaker still connects, charges, and outputs sound. So I was the one that wound up with that mug in the end after all.

Along the way home I stopped off at a Gamestop and picked up a code receipt. No other Gamestop in the area had one but that one.

i went to a theme park with some friends i haven't seen in a while. i think i picked up some kind of cold from it but oh well, we had a lot of fun and i'll probably stick some of the pictures we took on the fridge

Yesterday marked a month since I've been 100% sober and I feel much better in myself as a result. Gonna spend today cooking a load of good food which I've not felt like doing for a while.

I bake as a hobby and since it's October I made pumpkin cupcakes and pumpkin spice cookies, took them to work and they were a hit! I saved some cupcakes for my little sis, whose favorite cake is pumpkin.

>>58341174
Saving shit from work is always a nice perk

>>58341181
Hell yeah it's always nice to see someone we haven't seen in a while

>>58341361
Congrats on the sobriety anon! I'm proud of you and I'm sure plenty of others are too

>>58341361
I'm proud as fuck for you, anon. Keep it up and update us on how that food goes!

working on a challenge of a maze puzzle. completed the center bit today!

>>58341174
Nice. No reason to discard something that's old that still works, despite no longer being in the best condition. I feel like some people are too quick to chase after only the newest and shiniest thing while dumping things that may not necessarily look the prettiest anymore or have the fanciest features any longer, which only fills up landfills even more and drains one's personal finances. Good on you for being smart about this.

And, ugh, considering how incredibly hit and miss GameStop is, you definitely lucked out.

>>58341155 (OP)
I didn’t kill myself

>>58341873
I cooked an English Sunday roast. Proud of my potatoes. Infused duck fat with rosemary and garlic and roasted them in that. Tossed them in the leftover herbs after. We're crunchy on the outside and fluffy in the middle.

My WoW guild cleared the hardest content currently available on our server yesterday. We've been trying at it for months so it felt good to finally get there.

>>58341155 (OP)
i got new kicks, it feels like universe's order got balanced

>>58341181
Sounds like a fun time. Hopefully you'll see your friends again sooner rather than later! And it won't end with you getting a cold afterward.

Nothing good happened this week
I want to die

>>58341155 (OP)
I booked a flight for a big trip next year. Looking forward to that.
>>58343602
Sounds amazing, anon.

>>58345577
Same. You wanna talk about it, Murkbro?

>>58341361
Keep it up. It helps if as you're doing the things you couldn't/didn't feel like doing before but you are doing now you remind yourself these are the things that you were missing out on and have now gotten back. Can serve as encouragement and motivation to stick to your goals.

>>58343602
that looks really good

I experimented with making honeyed lemon pasta with sardines, surprisingly despite it seeming so random it has been one of the best meals I've ever eaten and cooked. Shame I've been stuck at home for weeks due to storms and I've been jostling with trying to get a job for over a year with no success despite having a lot of work experience.
It's been hard staying in good spirits when there's a hundred things stressing me the hell out each and every day.
>>58343602
Looks delicious, I occasionally make some myself to eat with pork or chicken.

>>58341466
That sounds awesome. I love pumpkin. I could eat it straight out of the can, even, haha. But yeah, the homemade stuff is generally almost always gonna top the junk sold in stores. Sure I could just head out to the store and pick up a variety of pumpkin cupcakes, cookies, and whatnot, but I'm likely to taste more sugar than anything, probably to mask all the additives and artificial chemicals... and the stuff still costs a lot despite the cheap crap ingredients.

>>58346781
>I experimented with making honeyed lemon pasta with sardines, surprisingly despite it seeming so random it has been one of the best meals I've ever eaten and cooked.
you got that recipe?

>>58347867
Used 2 onions, a can of sardines, 1 spoon of butter, 2 spoons of honey, a few cuttings of sweet pepper, a teaspoon of garlic scented salt and a bit of English sauce (Worcestershire). Put it on hot water and low fire for roughly a bit more than 30 minutes, I'm not too sure on the amount of water that's optimal yet, but it has to be just enough for the honey to sink into the pasta. Then after it's all done you poor a bit of lemon over it.
It's something I came up with myself due to boredom, the meat used with the pasta can be pretty much anything, I just use sardines because they're cheap.

>>58341888
What's a maze puzzle?

>>58341155 (OP)
Not much, honestly.

I’m still waiting for legends za, my life is kinda stilted at the moment, and I don’t do much other than work and be exhausted at home.

showed up for an event too early and a yo-yo club was using the room. They were eager to teach me and gave me a super nice yo-yo for free. So now I'm part of a yo-yo club

It hasnt happened yet, but im extremely looking forward to going to nycc in a few days since going has been a massive highlight for me these past few years (also ive been talking a lot more with my old friends from school and have started to hang out/ playing games way more with them which has been helping my mood alot lately). i really like these threads when ever they pop up

>>58343119
Good. No, really, that's good. Keep searching for that purpose, keep finding things be it big or small that make you happy to be alive, and remember to focus on the things that are in your control and not dwell on the things that aren't. :)

>>58345637
where you headed anon

Bump.

>>58343704
How long have you been playing WoW? As old as WoW is, for some reason I always think it's been around longer, like my mind keeps wanting to associate it with the 90s.

I finally got back the kick I needed to boost my art again so im back to drawing on a daily basis

I ate some nice Thai food and confessed some stuff to my mom. She took it better than I expected.

>>58341361
>>58341873
Room for one more?
I was at the video game store the other day, and the cashier gave me some Pokemon cards he wasn't able to sell, free of charge

>>58353640
Only a couple of months, actually. Never ran on my computer as a kid, and I didn't learn about private servers until recently. Probably for the best, an MMO would have assassinated my grades.

>>58343775
What kind?

I'm currently watching the johto league anime. It's pretty comfy. Not watched it since I was a kid

My cat died

>>58341155 (OP)
Bought an Neo Geo AES

>>58341155 (OP)
I had one of the best sex sessions with my wife, easily top 5

I kissed my crush...

I got a PB doing Alttp randomizer with crosskey plus random enemies and bosses (03:12:29.05 in-game time), didn't even find the flute. Life's been pretty shit lately so I've been trying to find happiness in hobbies I used to engage with. For the longest time I thought I'd already peaked when it came to doing randomizers, but it's good to know I can still get better at them even when I struggle to do more than the most basic glitches.

>>58351325
To be honest less and less things are making me feel like life is worth it as time passes but a mix of pettiness, wanting to see my siblings grow up, and laziness has kept me here. I contemplated today but happened to see this reply so thank you anon.

>>58357041
You matter anon, you might not always feel like you do but you do to someone

Please never forget that, and good luck with what youre dealing with

>>58357062
I genuinely don’t think I do but I’m not trying to get a pity party so thank you anon. Trying so hard to fight the urge to just isolate myself from the world but it never works out. Just tired of trying to find existing worthwhile. I told myself that if I’m not going to man up and off myself I’d better do something productive so that’s the plan for now. Thank you again I hate this feeling but I’m reminding myself to be appreciative of the people who offer advice

>>58341155 (OP)
We had our suspicion for the past few days because she complained about a slight back pain and shit like that.
We just got the confirmation after a check up: she’s pregnant and I can’t be happier.
By the time new gen game comes around I will be a father of a ~5 months old baby. It’s such a strange feeling but I will savor it

My girlfriend let me do my fetish on her

Pic is a hint to what it is

>>58346781
Trying new things can be fun and exciting. Even weird combinations can end up being surprisingly tasty. Keep doing what you can to keep your spirits up until you land that job. :)

A university classmate bought me a gift for my birthday. I don't celebrate my birthdays so it was moving to see that someone thought about it.

>>58347927
You put all the ingredients in the water and cook them with the pasta that's right? What kind of pasto did you use and how much water should I put in proportion?

>>58357102
What are some of the things you enjoy doing? Or would like to do?

>>58349384
Getting it for Switch or Switch 2? Hopefully you'll have fun playing it when you get it, and it breaks up the monotony at least a little.

Got back into Romhacks. Fun stuff.

>>58360682
What Romhack is she from?

>>58354295
I’m glad you were able to get some stuff off your chest anon

>>58341155 (OP)
I had sleep paralysis earlier this morning, fairly common for me but this time it felt like I was being pulled out of my body. I fought back out of instinct and when I woke up my heart was racing.
I wonder if I didn't fight back would I have just died in my sleep? I guess my body wants to live more than my mind does.
That aside my sleep schedule has been normalized for about a week now, gonna try to keep it that way and slowly pivot towards looking for a job.

>>58341155 (OP)
The figure I ordered from Hobby Link Japan finally came yesterday, and my pinky finger is finally healing from trigger finger.

>>58361038
I don't think you can die from sleep paralysis, anon. It's basically just your mind playing tricks on your cause it didn't turn on/off properly.

>>58361363
I guess, I'm just wondering what would happen if my somehow my mind just let that hallucination play out instead of jerking myself awake.

>>58357102
I feel the same so at least you're not alone there. I picked up some new hobbies recently that aren't computer related. While they're solo activities, I sleep easier at night knowing that I've been productive, in my own view at least. I just ignore the part where everyone else considers me a waste of space despite having a tiring job.

>>58361381
In my experience, nothing. When I have sleep paralysis I just wait and see what happens. Usually I slowly gain control of my body after a while.

>>58350531
lol, talk about random, but at the same time, really cool. been practicing with your yo-yo?

>>58360270
That’s the thing. I don’t know what I like beyond the “usual” like video games and hanging with my friends. I want to socialize more and get into more hobbies/communities but I’m used to sticking to myself. Even beyond hobbies I don’t know what I want as a career. Just doing “simple” office work because it’s something that takes little effort but I don’t want to spend the rest of my life doing this. More than anything I just want stuff to look forward to besides products being sold to me (though stuff like game nights with a group of friends would be cool. Most of my friends aren’t really “gamers”)
>>58361405
Thank you for sharing it does help. Maybe I should genuinely touch grass and find some stuff to do outside of technology. That’s always been my area of interest but maybe branching out will help? Idk but I hope you continue to find success. Don’t let your job take over. Had someone tell me that after working so many hours of overtime.

>>58350634
It's nice to reconnect. Have fun, anon. :)

>>58354327
Pokemon cards being given away for free certainly isn't something you hear everyday, lol, especially with how we often see people/scalpers behave when it comes to them.
