For the older posters here, you know the drill. No struggle sessions, keep it nice.
For the newer folks, hi! I'm Corgi! I made these threads from time to time to see if everyone is doing OK. Got something cool you wanna talk about? Need an ear for venting? This is your space! Just be nice, this isn't the thread for arguments.
I made a down payment for next year's wedding recently, and I've been having a BLAST with the Retroid 3+. I've been going to the bar with the pup the last few days and just sitting with a pint and playing MVC2, Twisted Metal Black, Smash, and Mario. Met another Hexbear IRL recently, that was nice!
Hope everyone is doing well! Remember, you are loved
yesterday they delivered a mattress and one of those adjustable bed frames i ordered a few weeks ago, and took away my old mattress (14 years, originally $200). i haven't had a good night's sleep in probably 3+ years and only thought about "maybe it's the mattress" after stumbling on some discussion online where somebody posted almost-religiously about figuring out their sleep style and getting a decent mattress to suit it.
so fuck it, i did the whole deal where i went to a place and laid down on a bunch of mattress/frame configurations. almost zonked out in the store on one of them in a few minutes. my first night (last night) i slept like a rock. normally i toss and turn like an angry pig, trying to do some kind of bullshit pillow+blanket contortion tetris. this was the first time my morning alarm woke me up in god knows how long, with me being in the near exact position i laid down in. normally the first hint of light has me waking up and stirring around in addition to all the other times i would do it throughout the night.
all this set me back a chunk of change, but its starting to look like one of my all time best moves.
