Have you ever felt a imaginary switch click that changed the trajectory of your life?

In high school and college, I used to be the kind of person who always overanalyzed everything with intense scrutiny, especially things related to dating/romance, and I felt like I was just a constant failure in that part of my life. I wasn't always single, I did have some relationships over the years, but during those relationships I remained the overanalytical type, always overly worried that something might be going wrong or that I said the wrong thing, replaying conversations in my head thinking of better ways to say things, etc. After one stretch of being single after semi-unwillingly breaking off an engagement (and continuing to be overanalytical), I was asked out by a new person and we started dating, and fell in love incredibly fast, and are now very happily married.

When she asked me out and we went on that first date and both realized how incredibly well we got along, something flipped in my brain, and I have literally never been the same since; that was 10 years ago, and I no longer overthink things at all, and it has been the greatest gift anyone could've given me.

Welcome to Marathon on Steam

Reply in thread

Seeing the initial new Marathon trailer might have been the most excited and then disappointed I've ever been with a game announcement. So excited for them to bring that franchise to the modern era, but so disappointed that it was just an extraction shooter. Ugh.

Which 3rd party apps are you using for Lemmy?

I'm testing out all the ones I can find for android. I've got Jerboa, Connect, Thunder, Summit, and Lemmynade. At this point, all of them have some missing features/functionality here and there, but my favorite so far is Lemmynade.

Several of these are not on Play Store, only on F-Droid or directly from Github. I know Lemmynade is only on Github for now, and 1 or 2 of the others but I don't remember which.

"I'll Come Back": Ninth Doctor Actor Reveals Brutal Conditions For Doctor Who Return

Reply in thread

He is my favorite Doctor and his series is tied with series 4 (Donna) as my favorite series of Who and i will die on that hill. I know I'm just one person but from my perspective, it seems like within the Who fandom most people at least like and respect Nine, and plenty of people do in fact really love him like I do. If he ever came back to the show onscreen in any capacity it would literally be the most hyped I've ever been for Doctor Who ever.
