  • Oh I get that. I haven’t done AAA gaming in a hundred years, but I think perhaps if everything is drab it might be to counter the hyper-saturation that has taken over gaming for quite some time. I am not sure though. I know that one of the Monster Hunters was created with the intention of appealing to a Western audience. Making things look rather “grown” and I think that this game for the tiny bit I saw is a further extension of this. I can’t say a thing about gameplay, but I think perhaps things are so disjointed because of this. Ultimately though, I am not an “active” gamer or in the community. I often wonder “what do people want nowadays!?” if everything is getting review bombed out the gate. I mean clearly people are mad, but I am not sure what could counter that.



  • This might sound awful, but if you have contact with any family or former close friends it might be time to contact them. Likewise check in with shelters in the area. I am not sure of your gender identity, but they’re usually separated by such. Not all things that are hobbies cost money, believe it or not. In America, you can be on disability and work. So that’s why I am not entirely clear of the ins and outs of your system. It was just a suggestion. Likewise, there are ways to work without claiming the cash. Is all I am saying. I am not saying that disabled people should get out there, I am saying this world is cruel and finding ways to negate this help in times of crisis in my opinion. I can’t force you to do anything. I know nothing of the systems you are navigating. Society doesn’t hate people who don’t work. Society hates people, period. I mean most people. To be honest. I think it’s due to a lot of cruelty that we have developed in waves en masse against people who are different in any way shape or form. It seems like the people who get to the top are the ones who can play this system. Everyone else is a disaster away from a fall.

    I am not sure how you’re accessing this, and I don’t know what programs you have - but if you can get a free phone - I’d get one now. I am not sure why your benefits were stopped, but I’d try and be in someone’s asshole about that. Outside of that, you might want to start writing, is what I was going to suggest. Not to the world (unless you want to) but instead organizing your thoughts and creating a series of plans from worst-case to best-case and try and execute best-case first and if that’s off the table keep going until worst case. Because you don’t want to be another person with a disability on the street. Exposed living is rough.

    Fuck the hobbies though, if you’re about to lose your housing. Just focus on getting safe from there. But do try at some point if and when you are safe to integrate a hobby. It really can be zero-cost if you choose something light. I express this as a means to find joy, and reprieve from daily pains. Finding a support group really might help as well. Because when you’re in pain, you feel like the only human alive going through your experience. We’ve all got our something though. GL! You’re gunna be okay, just don’t quit even if it’s the hard stuff. Tell people what you need. Make your needs reasonable. Communication (firm communication) is key, especially if it’s between you and the streets. Your landlady is not sympathetic. TBH, I think she should be the last to know about anything. Stay in people’s minds when fixing things. You can be one of two things from my time in shitty situations: A pleasure, or an awful pain. Pick one. People will help sweet people, because it’ll be a story of triumph amongst the misery. People will also help shitheads, because they want to get them as far away as possible from their existence. That means processing them fast, and getting them to be someone else’s problem. I’ve got nothing else but to say good luck (again, cause it takes it). Just get out there (metaphorically or literally) and do what you need to do in order to keep yourself safe.



  • Hey, you need a hug. I am sorry you’re being pinched for cash. Can you afford the upcoming hike? Can you re-budget to make it work?

    A lot of people feel like disabled individuals are a burden. Disabled people feel like a burden. People get stacked with situations they have to handle. Clearly your landlady is stacked with one. Also the more people get squeezed, the less compassion they have as a whole. If you can, I would suggest you either save your money or figure out a way to increase your income. I know nothing of your country though. I am just suggesting as a safety net you can utilize pending you find yourself in a horrible situation. This might sound rough, and it sounds like it’s hard to find another place to rent, but perhaps look into that if you cannot agree to her standards. Maybe even a room? I am not sure what kind of access you need though. Otherwise, just be cordial enough to get through. Many do not do emotional please, they don’t really care about emotions as a whole. So it’s useless to utilize.

    Outside of that, if you can plausibly remove yourself from some of the negative media you’re taking in. Try to find some peace for your own soul. Even if you’re in incredible amounts of pain, try to find a way to give yourself kindness. It doesn’t have to come in the form of food. Or buying things, really at all. Just perhaps picking up a small hobby you can enjoy. I am not sure where the resources are online, but there might be a support group you can join. Likewise, not sure what is available in your area but you might be able to find someone who can help emotionally support you and meet you at a sustainable level to your income.

    I am not sure if any of this helps, but just try your best to give yourself a little fresh air from time to time (even if it’s from a window), eat as best as you can (even if it’s all crap - eat the best crap you can), and try to de-escalate your pain through self-kindness.

    Drink water!

    Hugs!

    You bother, because you are. When you’re not, you won’t bother. Just keep bothering, because you’re worth bothering over.
