I feel you. I actually liked nights, but the burnout is real. I'd have trouble sleeping during the day, and had a horrible sleep schedule trying to keep up my personal life and still work nights

I liked nights as well! I used to work 11-7 for some shifts, and while it was still a little lonely to go to work while people were heading to bed, I still had the whole day to do things if needed. It got me into the bad habit of just staying up for 24 hours if I wanted to do things in the evening though

Ooh I didn't think about it like that - but then again I was a bit of a homebody even in my 20's lol

Definitely depends on your social circle then: my group of friends were mostly 9-5 and did stuff together in the evening, so it felt like I was always missing out.

I consider second shift to be worse - I worked 3-11 for awhile and its just depressing. You wake up and can do things, but you're just waiting to go to work. When you get out, it's pretty late and most people are going to bed.

9-5 allows me to have my relaxation time at the end of the day, along with everyone else. Any other shift feels lonely, and like you're off-sync from the rest of society.

100% with the people saying to get into a hobby to meet people. You're guaranteed to connect at some level. Gaming as a hobby actually makes meeting people pretty easy, if you don't mind starting out as long distance relationships

I met my partner of 8 years on World of Warcraft!

Used deepai.org, didn't really mess with the options. It kind of looks like a Magic card but with unreadable text

My first experience with TES was Oblivion, so this was always my favorite: Star

Of course! I'm not saying reviews are pointless, just that it's ok to dislike a critically acclaimed game, or find value in a game isn't as well received.

If a game looks interesting, less than stellar reviews aren't going to stop me from buying it, but it might make me wait for sale.

Ultimately, your game experience is entirely your own.

Second this! I appreciate game critics and routinely factor their opinions into whether I'll buy a game sooner rather than later. But sometimes there are imperfect games you connect with, and 10/10 games that you don't mind missing.

Even in terms of art: it's helpful to read a critic's impression on an art piece, but it's also worth it to experience it yourself and form your own opinions.

What brand is that chair? Looks so comfy! Also, your cat's name is amazing

I'm the oldest. I have a younger sister and brother, who are about quite a bit younger than me (the difference is under 10 years though).

We're all close and extremely comfortable with each other, but they're closer with each other than me, given their closeness in age.

I don't live at home with them anymore, but our relationship always feels natural and picks up where it left off even after being away for so long. I think we've been fortunate in that we've never felt to the need to compete with each other, and I think of them as a constant in my life that that I can always count on

I watch a lot of food shows, and he always comes across as a bit douchey and arrogant - but idk how much of that is a personality for TV.

I went to Bobby's Burger Palace once though, and it was pretty good!
