You are not a "boomer" if you aren't in your twenties. You are not irrelevant if you aren't in your twenties. You don't go straight from being a kid to being "old". Stages of life are fluid and vary for each person, and should be savored to the fullest of your means to do so.
Stop letting internet memes about age, height, and general state of being have an actual impact on your mental health. They mean nothing, and don't benefit you in any material way.
edit 1 part 1: this is the worst comment section I've even seen in any Hexbear thread in all my years, except for @Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net who is as always the best of us
edit 1 part 2: generationalism is also made up, don't let people put you into boxes and further don't put yourself into a box that someone else made up for you
Alright, so here's the deal. I recently moved in with my partner, who has two cats and one dog. I also have two cats. Neither of us is giving up any of our animals.
All the animals are fed, kept clean, litter boxes are changed out regularly, dog walked, water bowls full and fresh, etc., so they're all taken care of. Aside from that, my girlfriend's mom is not well, and needs regular care throughout the day also. So even though everyone is taken care of, it's taking way the fuck too much time out of our lives, and we are miserable.
I know that the true answer here is just "have less animals", but since no one is willing to budge on that, I'm wondering if anyone has any advice for how to make this easier. I am at the end of my rope here, covered in shed animal fur, and feeling desperate.
I know it's kind of a random question to ask for tech troubleshooting here but this is literally the only place on the entire internet that isn't infested with condescending tech-bros, so I'm doing it anyway.
I'm also about to fuckin' ramble, and networking terms go over my head, so anyone who's answering please talk to me like I have no idea what anything means.
Alright, so I have xfinity (fuck monopolies, fuck capitalism), and the internet frequently cuts out. I am told that before we had our own modem + router + extender setup (that is, not the one xfinity provided, but a modem and router and extender we bought ourselves) the internet did not cut out quite so much. I'm not entirely sure I buy it, but it's not like I can fix xfinity's trashfire infrastructure that they have literally no incentive to fix because they are the only actual choice in the area.
Internet very frequently lags enough to kill the enjoyment of whatever game I'm playing, and a couple times a month or so the internet in the whole house just dies. Sometimes rebooting the modem and router fixes it, sometimes it doesn't, sometimes - and this is the part that boggles me the most - the internet will work when you connect through the wifi extender, but NOT when you connect directly to the router's wifi... the same router that the extender is connected to. I assume this has something to do with IP addresses, but again, I don't really know how IP addresses work, how to change mine, or whatever. Frequently some sites / services will load but others won't. Lastly, apparently we are paying for more powerful internet than our modem supports, but I don't know if getting a more powerful modem will actually stop the internet from crashing so much, and since being alive costs so fucking much I don't want to blow like $200 or whatever on a more powerful modem if it's not actually going to fix anything.
Someone please help me; I am an internet-addicted fiend and nothing erodes my psyche more than when I'm about to finish the runback on this fuckin Zangief I finally figured out in a first to five set and then suddenly xfinity pulls the plug on the final round.
Anyway rambling complete... for now.
Hello Hexbear! Though I have never left the site and have been posting alongside you all (federation has been incredibly entertaining for good and for bad reasons), I am now going to make yet another Kor-related post! For anyone who doesn't have context, about a year and a half ago I released an indie RPG called Kor and eagerly shared it with my favorite community on the interwebs, to very kind reception.
And for the first time ever, I'm going to a convention this weekend to share the game in-person. There will be a booth with a demo, some modest displays, and I'll be there to talk to people about it.
Why the heck am I telling you guys this? Well, basically to ask a little favor! I need to spruce up my game as much as I can! So... if you bought Kor on Steam at any point, and you never reviewed it, it would help me immensely if you went and gave it a little positive review. It doesn't have to be depthful or meaningful, it can be a joke, or literally anything, I just need to get the positive number as high as I can. Anything helps when you're not a beast with a thousand maws like Activision or whatever.
As always, if anyone wants to play my game but can't afford it, DM me and I'll try to get you a steam key to play it for free!

Idk who even needs to hear this but seems like an important thing for anyone using doordash to know.
Are people like me - for whom every moment spent thinking about the need for money is a moment spent in anguish - just not supposed to exist?
I've been downloading TrueAnon's backlog, and grabbing the most recent Chapo stuff just because some sarcasm will make for good company on the road. What else you guys listen to?
I'd love some good spooky podcasts, or just really interesting / informative stuff.
Contemplating re-downloading all of Blowback and listening to it all for a third time.
