Hey.. HEY!

...I like Travis!

*Cue melancholic music..
'But what's wrong with boys listening to Travis? What was she getting at?'

Hey, no Travis-shaming from my side. Maybe a little Radiohead-shaming but not even that. Different strokes for different hoes 😉
 
If you had to see one live, who'd you pick? :unsure:

Well I've seen Travis when I was young and liked it a lot. I don't think I could do a Taytay concert though. Too many people.

Look, she's an excelent texter (not sure if that's a word) and helps me get in touch with my sensitive inner self.

I watched Goodfellas, Reservoir Dogs and Plulp Fiction over the weekend. Yesterday I watched Back to the Future Part 1,2 and 3 back to back. Today I watched Blood Sport. I could barely take any of those films in because I'm so feverish.

Sucks that you're sick, but that sounds like a legendary movie marathon. Hope you're feeling better now.

You Marathon man!

I want to binge all 4 John Wick movies but I'm afraid I'll get desensitized or just laugh at the over the top fights by the 2nd movie 😄
Man, a JW binge also sounds so awesome. Those fights may be over-the-top, but I never get sick of the genuinely impressive choreography. Those stunt men are absolutely NUTS.

What is it with you guys and Radiohead?
Every single guy I appreciate likes them.

Is it like "Travis" but for boys?
Yeah pretty much. Radiohead fuckin rules.

Lol. I'm pretty old myself. I even had a Mini disc player. Anyone remember them?

Nowadays I mostly listen to Pagan Metal, Folk Rock/Punk and Viking Battle Music.

Way too expensive for my cheap arse back then :messenger_tears_of_joy:

You might enjoy this playlist I have. It's for apple music but you can use songshift if you wanna import it to Spotify, etc. I haven't updated it since like 2019 but there's some good stuff on there.

Awesome, thanks so much! I only know Tyr so far. Do you know Månegarm? They're one of my favourite bands. And I love "A tergo lupi". Awesome stuff when you're preparing for battle.

Btw. got my epic tattoo but without the "aaaaaugh"

I don't think I've heard either of those bands, gonna add them to the list for sure. Looks like Månegarm just released a new album the other day, too!

That's some sick ink. 💪

I know, but they're not as good as they used to be. "Nattväsen" is their best album imo, also their best song. That's epic!
 
Just finished "Filth" with James McAvoy. Read the book a few years ago and didn't remember it being that depressing.
Last scene is heartbreaking. And up comes this ridiculous song by Billy Ocean 🥹.

 
I think I had a panic attack yesterday?
I've only had one of those before and it was in front of an audience of people. Luckily I was able to excuse myself before it became apparent to anyone, but that shit is not fun.

Thankfully I was near some medical professionals, so it ultimately was fine. But I remember thinking "what the fuck is happening with me right now" as my heart just pounded like crazy. Thought it was a heart attack at first.

I have only had one major panic attack. My brain is really good at circular & repetitive thinking so a downward spiral is easy to achieve. I can usually catch myself early enough. The stress from work and personal life is heavy at the moment, though.

I suppose we're all neurotic in our own special way.

Fun fact. My panic attack was caused by me getting "cancelled" on Twitter. If you've ever seen this picture floating around online, that was a sign I made.

It was supposed to be a clap back joke about a hit piece Kotaku wrote about my event the year before, but everyone online thought it had something to do with gamergate. Even though that was 10 years prior.

So I was in a panel room in front of hundreds of people giving opening ceremonies at the event, all while my notifications were blowing up demanding that I be fired/cancelled/etc.

Of course the whole thing ended up being a nothing burger (since it obviously had nothing to do with gg), but at that moment it seemed serious.

The funny thing is, I see that image posted all the time anytime a dumb take by Kotaku is posted on social media lol.

People are fucking insane and your poster is hilarious. I'm glad you made it through and I can't imagine having to go through something like that.

You're good people in my book my friend.
 
Did someone say panic attack?

I was diagnosed with anxiety disorder when I was 16. I don't know if we are talking about an actual diagnosis here or just a "panic attack" (different from having the disorder) due to just being nervous/overwhelmed at an event but if we are talking actual diagnosis, I have plenty of advice for coping without pills. I've had a few different -pams prescribed in the early years but I do not like taking pills for anything so I worked hard to get away from that. It takes years of "training" yourself but it's possible. I couldn't open my front door and leave my house without getting one, that's how bad mine was.


Anyway, it's almost game night Friday, PUMPED.
