I’m still standing despite everything so a 7 minimum.
I caught myself in an old defense mechanism loop and was able to stop, breath, sit with the discomfort and own that motherfucking trauma response for what it is, then dismiss it and carry on with my day. So, like a very proud ten.
Im very proud of you as well.
Right now I’m at the coffee and pajamas phase so like a 2.
As I always do, -3.14
22, im an absolute unit!
I think I’m up to a 6. Gonna make a trip to the sawmill today to pick up some walnut and maybe some oak depending on how I’m feeling.
Just made a saw sharpening vice and a couple file handles.
Planning on building a kiln to dry oak and pine boards, that I hopefully cut myself.
8 had a banger goth makeup for the first time
Rad! Did you do your own goth makeup?
Yup, with eyeliner and a bit of eye shadow
I rescued an injured bird (a collared dove) with a broken wing and took him to a bird sanctuary about 40 miles away. So 10, clearly.
Hell yeah brother! Taking care of animals is super badass!
This particular day I feel like a fistfight between me and Stephen Hawking would be too close to call.
ROFL. You can’t win them all champ. Keep going though. Greatness is achieved when you push further than what others are willing to do.
10, watched a dope ass movie with my partner and our cats and did some incredibly pure blow and I need to sleep GOOD NIGHT LOVE YOU
You can sleep after doing blow? How? Haha
I slept like 20 minutes after posting that hahaha
I’m insanely lucky, I happened to meet someone who gets bricks, doesn’t step on it, and when I occasionally want to indulge, gives me a sheeny solid corner of a brick. When I’ve had coke in the past that was stepped on, I definitely couldn’t sleep for hours after. Probably some cheap amphetamines added to it, I hated it. With actual pure cokes you can sleep like an hour after you do your last bump or line!
And you don’t need nearly as much, it’s insane. To get gakked, my partner and I will do about .1g each over the course of the night. With cut stuff, I’d have to do like 5x that for a mediocre buzz!
Tylenol 3/codeine back in my day lol
- Slept wrong and my open heart surgery scar aches. :(
I can see why you went with 3, surviving open heart surgeries account for at least +1 badass.
Don’t forget the +1 for a badass scare and a story to go with it.
And a +2 for surviving 2 heart attacks
My goodness! I’m glad things went well during the open heart surgery. How long is the recovery for such a thing?
Pretty sure it’s lifetime. Surgery was at the end of 2018, they cracked me open like a lobster. I’ve got a 10" scar from just under my chin to just over my belly button.
2019 was one complication after another.
2nd heart attack in January.
0, badass is not something I’ve ever felt, nor particularly strived for.
I’m more of a goodie-two-shoes people pleaser type.
Oh dang. Well life in the end, isn’t just about what others get out of it. It’s also what you get out of it. Don’t sell yourself short. Everyone deserves to feel badass at least once in their life imo.
I overcame my social anxiety today and went to the office after a long period of sickness and it was great! I really missed seeing other people than my wife for a change! :D In the evening I ran my pathfinder campaign and it went really well, save for some hiccups from foundry, which is the online tool that we are using, so maybe an 8?
Oh that’s awesome! Social anxiety ain’t no joke. Glad to hear that you’re doing better. It’s really fun to play TTRPGs. Especially with a good group of people.
Are you running a pre-made or home-brew campaign? I’m interested to hear more.
Thanks for the kind words! I’ve been battling with it for around a year now or maybe a little longer. I suspect long covid, because it basically followed a hefty period of brain fog after a covid infection, but therapy and supplements help immensely :)
I’m running the pre-made campaign season of ghosts as a first time GM. It’s an Asian themed mystical horror setting and it does a good job of guiding me through it as I don’t have that much experience running games yet.
The only thing that is a little debatable is the difficulty of the fights, which are intended to be on the easier/very easier side, which I don’t really like, so I’m adjusting the fights, but I have five players and it is written for four, so that makes it even harder to gauge, as well as some variant rules we use that make the PCs a little stronger.
Until now, the PCs steamrolled pretty much every fight and boss fight, but yesterday I upped the difficulty dramatically and it was a really exciting boss battle! So I think I’m finally getting a grasp on gauging the difficulty better
1 i been fee- actually nvm i just beat the piss out of a couple monsters in morrowind using my bare fists. Solid 4 cus of that lol
Hahaha. Putting yourself in another world (and one where you’re stronger or have special abilities,) is a nice way to escape the worries of the day.
Have you tried beating up some monsters with a spoon yet? haha
Not yet but funny enough I think there’s a fork that can be used as a weapon so I’ll be on the lookout for that😂
