Yeah. And I was never a collector so much as an accumulator (preservationist, if we’re being generous). It’s all just stuff that I read.

I had one or two of critical mass at some point. I had to look it up, but I remember some of those covers

I’m feeling worse rn

You all have options??

I’m resolute on not selling to any sort of store. I’ll get 25¢ per comic at most. And then, yeah, they’ll sell at much more of a markup.

After a lifetime of reading comic books, and amassing a pretty large collection, i just… stopped. It wasn’t so much losing interest as I’d gotten what I needed from them. I just don’t need them anymore. Now I’m left with 50 some boxes of comics to get rid of…

Where can I look up to see if games that I want to play that are currently PC only can also be played on Linux?

Getting into marriage in this context seems like a recipe for creating financial and legal stresses for a future you if a divorce happens.

That’s a fun one. Dangerous tho. I could easilly rabbit hole there

That’s an interesting one. Looks like it pulls from a few less common (well, to me) sources. Has old school internet vibes

Never heard of it! I’ll check it out

I appreciate this. Why do we have to align only with one approach/perspective? Being versatile is more alluring

Hey man, don’t harsh my brain’s knee jerk attempts at coping

Dammit. It’s not an Onion post

Useful clarification, thank you. I’m not sure where my vision is at. I definitely do the thing of taking my glasses off and back on depending on what I am doing. But even with them off I’m starting to find some print hard to read — mainly the small print on products. I’ll have to see. I’m overdue for a new prescription. Also getting intermittent splotches of white in my periphery so that’s a new fun thing to worry about.

Reminders of aging bodies + of capitalism’s negative impact on us: this post has not cheered me up today lol
