    it would piss me off if it isn't a Windows thing and instead is a mobo issue. which can never be ruled out

    mobo issue means it's a total loss on a 6 year old rig. New CPU and even if you could stitch together the rest of the parts enough to shout It's Alive! you wouldn't want to lean on a video card or PSU that old for very long

    Do you have a doctor you go see for check-ups and stuff?

    If you do, ask them if they have a recommendation for a therapist.

    No I do not! I just go to the folks on campus for that unless I am truly dying and then I just use Dr's on Demand.

    It's stronger than other liqueurs. It's usually around 70% alcohol.

    *wooo!*

    That's a spicy meat-a-ball-a!

    but no seriously the mythology around absinthe is bullshit and it's 100% because you're drunk that you feel all fucked up

    also the reason you drink it with a sugar cube is that it tastes like garbage

    also its height of popularity in France also coincided with poor sanitation and opium addiction

    so absinthe drinkers were using it to kill pathogens in tainted water while doing opium. and were probably starving.

    yyeeeaahhhh

    which probably felt a hell of a lot better than not drinking absinthe

    Allegedly a voice of reason.

    Anything's possible, but a mobo issue is more likely to cause an issue in POST, or cause an issue under load.

    It POSTs but Windows doesn't boot, that suggests a software problem to me.

    Ughhhh

    I'm starting to think maybe it's time for a therapist but I don't have money and the ones at school suck and I'd have to find one that was okay with queer shit and poly shit if I was going to be able to talk about my life or my friends at all

    It feels like whenever my life briefly calms down I begun to be able to hear yelling, off in the distance, that had been being drowned out by all the noise, and then over time I realize the yelling is meeeee oh no

    Do you mind revealing which county you reside in?

    Hampshire County, Mass. I actually asked the Western Mass Queer Exchange fb group for recommendations recently but they're all fairly far from the bus route and also just thinking about it stresses me the fuck out so I keep not calling any

    Also we have a deductible sooo

    In-person referrals:
    The Social Work Therapy Referral Service, MA Chapter of the National Association of Social Workers: Statewide 800-242-9794.
    CHD Easthampton: http://chd.org/counseling/locations/easthampton/
    Psychology Today directory: https://therapists.psychologytoday.com/rms/county/MA/Hampshire.html
    Massachusetts APA directory: http://www.masspsych.org/search/custom.asp?id=1452

    Specifically, look for "sliding-scale" therapists and social workers. Note that poly-friendly, queer-friendly, and kink-friendly therapists are actually pretty common in more liberal areas. It's still good to ask, especially about poly, but that's not going to be a big barrier.

    Can you quote and batsignal me with this or PM it to me so I can keep it for tomorrow, it's awesome I had no idea there was like a service you could use to find someone? That's cool

    The greatest difference comes from being able to light it aflame.

    Put the fork over the glass
    Place sugar cube on fork
    Pour absinthe into glass over sugar cube
    Light the sugar cube on fire
    Wait for sugar to brown slightly at the corners
    Pour water into glass over sugar
    Stir sugar cube into mixture
    Ensure this has extinguished the flame
    Drink sightly warmed liquor mixture

    I've played Empyrion.

    It's pretty cool, but it definitely has that early access feel of lack of content. The building in creative mode is p goddamned spectacular, and it has all of the systems in place. It just needs more meat on the bones. The survival aspects are definitely not hardcore in nature.

    It still has the Minecraft "blocks" thing going on, but there's about 20 different shapes and you can rotate on any axis, but you can't overlap within the "block area" if that makes sense.

    The landscape is voxel based so you can dig massive caverns with a drill.

    This is part of my little creative mode home base I'm building just to mess with the construction aspects.

    building is much less derpy than Ark and its only been in early access for like a week

    However there is not a large variety of things to build
