What do you do when you simultaneously want to talk with people but also not talk at all and are too tired to be around people?

ADHD Brain took over and wasted another of my days today. Been watching Instagram for hours, instead of having a shower, going outside, taking some photos, and going to the shops. Fucking hate this brain. These meds aren't doing shit either, except giving me a bad stomach.

Update to this, I wasn't aware I could call them to get the payments reduced, so I have now broken it down to £20 a month repayments. And starting next month my Universal Credit payments will be in full. So I'll be in a better position. It might seem small, but I really just want some new bedding.

A really frustrating part of being on disability benefits to live off of, is becoming too afraid to treat yourself a bit cos of the cost. I'm having over £60 a month docked because of a payment mistake the DWP made with my payments last year and it's making things extra tight. So, no treats atm.

You don't owe strangers forgiveness, especially if it is not yours to give.

My heart is with the MinnMax crew. 💛 I'm so sorry to everyone effected by the actions of Jacob Geller, whether it be in the past or today. Truly devastating in such a giving and thoughtful community.

Sharing to help a friend get some varied responses. If you have a minute or two, what are *your* feelings on reading blogs today?

CW - SA Truly gutted to find this news about Jacob Geller seems to be true. I've been a fan, and I'm a quiet community member of MinnMax, so this really hurts. I hope the victim stays unnamed. And I'm sorry for anyone in this industry that this dredges up fears with. I know that feeling well.

Fucking hell! Jacob fucking Geller as well?! Throw this whole industry in the bin. I'm so sick of it.

I always forget just how much work I put into making streams run smoothly behind the scenes. I'm going through a lot of basics again on Streamerbot and my Gods there's so much I have to do to get back to how things were before I deleted it all. 😅 It'll be worth it when things are all done though.

I've had a shower and I hung out the washing and once again, I'm exhausted. What is this nonsense? I feel like I'm going crazy.

Lina @anomalina.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Just signed this myself. We don't know if I have ME/CFS yet, but it sure would make me feel better if more practitioners knew what to look for, so less people have to suffer without answers for so long.

Why do I seem to be so incapable of waking up or getting up before midday anymore? I have alarms, I set them every day, but my body is so lethargic I just fall immediately back to sleep or I don't wake in the first place. I'm so tired of being tired and I'm frustrated that my days are so short.

The fatigue hit me very seriously today. It took me several hours to get enough energy for a shower, and then I struggled to stay stood. I might have to get a stool. Decided cooking was off the table, so despite not having much money I've grabbed my first Maccys in 3 years.

It was such a blast going on Aftermath Hours to talk about my story with PMG! Also, you might be able to see/hear the exact moment a bat flew into our window because my dog very loudly freaks out, and then keeps jumping into my lap for the rest of the episode.

fun addition to this: kotick didn't just threaten publications, he threatened individuals. One of his lawyers was tasked with keeping an eye on every post I wrote about him, and they'd hound ownership about them if they didnt like them.

An absolutely brilliant bit of reporting from People Make Games (thanks @chrisbratt.bsky.social and @leadergrev.bsky.social)! I wish we lived in a landscape where the press didn't have to fear those with colossal amounts of money doing the kind of backlash that could put them out of business.

I know this is a bit selfish, but fuck it, is it much to ask that when I spend a decent amount of my time giving advice to people *that they asked for*, that I receive a thank you? I give advice cos I like to help, but a bit of courtesy doesn't take a lot, and it makes me wonder why I bother.

I waited too long and the lovely bright orange retro TV was sold. I just didn't feel quite comfortable enough that I'd be able to replenish the money before bills needed to go out. Utterly gutted, it was perfect.

I don't know if I'm giving off major emotional vibes today or something, but so many cats (and one dog) approached me to say hi today. 🥹 I needed that. Thank you to the higher powers that brought me emotional support cats. 🙏

It's been a very emotional few days, in regards to a relationship that had fallen apart. Thanks to someone being far braver than me, there might be a way to salvage something. That gives me hope that the pain is behind me and that I'm ready for a future again.

Man... The more I think about playing older games and going back to my back catalogue instead of keeping up with new releases, the more nostalgic I get for the Master System games I grew up with. I really need to get this CRT and the MisTer Multisystem2 so I can start indulging.

Lina @anomalina.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

My mum is who bought gaming into our home, where we started with Alex Kidd and Sonic the Hedgehog. I wouldn't say I grew up watching her (she gamed privately), but occasionally I'd see how far she could get on Transbot and I'd be blown away at locations I'd never seen. She's also sick at Columns. 😂

I just found this little beauty on eBay and I'm extremely tempted to buy it when I get paid tomorrow. 🤔 I can't actually afford it, but I already missed my chance with two others in the same model and I'd hate to miss it again. 🥺 It would give me the kick up the arse to re-open my Vinted shop. 😅

Lina @anomalina.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

This is kinda why I'm looking into getting a little CRT and using a MisTer Multisystem2 to play old games going forward, because I actually really hate how sharp everything looks on emu/recomps. They all also look more drab without the inherent glow produced by CRTs. I just want them to look nice.

I like giving people feedback and advice, but sometimes it comes with the caveat that you have to tell people something they don't want to hear. Just spent 10mins explaining to a minor why their TikTok is doing poorly. It's not a great feeling. But if it matters to them, I hope they can take it in.

About a year ago I considered, for a brief moment, multi-streaming on Kick. I came to my senses pretty swiftly after doing more research. 😬 But I forgot I'd made an account. I just went to delete it, which you can't do on site. I contacted support, confirmed, and this is what happens. 🤣

I had a feeling we'd see this soon after the recent IGN layoffs, especially with the loss of Brian Altano, who I have barely seen without Max nearby. It saddens me that this is how their tenure ends, but I wish them, and all those effected at IGN, all the best in what comes next. 💛

Decided to leave a notice on the new Facebook profile to say I won't be logging in much anymore. 😬 I've had it a few weeks and I just find it super stalkery. We give it SO MUCH personal info. I'd delete it, but the Marketplace is useful for local stuff. Goblina will still use Instagram eventually.

As someone who has lived in a relationship with a controlling person, Meta's business tools feel *real* similar. It wants to know who all your friends are, it wants you to act a specific way, it wants you to respond correctly, it wants to know your schedule, and it wants your undivided attention.

Of course I post this before I receive a letter from ESA to say my ESA has ended (I've reached the full 365 days). Which means the money I was relying on to pay my outgoings (including food for me and Haru) isn't actually coming this week. 😞 Thankfully my PIP is on Monday, but this week is tight.

Lina @anomalina.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

Thank you to everyone who I spoke to about this. It helped me narrow things down and I can start making a plan. I'm sure I'll suck at this at first, but it's a skill I'm willing to work on.

Lina @anomalina.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

It's so frustrating that even though I've made several changes in my life to cut spending, moved 200 miles to live with someone else, and have all the benefits it's possible for me to be on, I still have one week a month that I have to panic about not having enough for my outgoings.
