Just had weird visual disturbances at work - kind of moving squirly blind spot that obscured anything I looked directly at. Then it spread out to sort of rainbow aurora on the periphery. Never had a migraine before, if this what it looks like? Being over cautious, my anaesthetic friends sent me down to a + e, but it sort of cleared up while I was waiting to be seen. Just got a bit of a headache now.

Yeah that's probably a migraine. I suffer with them but only mildly. My sister has ones severe enough to have temporary stroke symptoms. I go years without and then suffer a few close together. Always stress related. I've had the aura and no pain quite a few times. It will probably pass if you get a good nights sleep. You may not have another for years or ever. I find yoga stretches for my shoulders and neck really help even if I don't think I'm tense, I usually am. I think it increases the blood flow or something.

I was yawning enough when I got home to make my jaw ache. Had a slight headache through the night but it's nothing special, hopefully it was nothing bad. Having an eye appt tomorrow just in case.

Just before it started I was at that point where I was so sleepy that had I been at home I would have dropped off in a second and had a 15 minute snooze. As it was, had yet another patient on the way. I had a green tea to perk me up a bit; I generally survive on coffee but I didnt want another one of those.

I'm at home today schooling the kids, will aim to rehydrate myself properly at least.

Laura Bailey is the best.

Those people are the fucking worst. FUCK...THEM...

[Aptorian]

The worst thing about those threats is that these people clearly haven't actually played through the game. There's some seriously grey and ambiguous nuances to the story.

It seems that the vast majority of the people doing this haven't touched the game and are whining about SJW's and shit. Like I haven't played it because its not my kind of game, but that just means I shouldn't be commenting on the story, not directing death threats at a voice actor.

Pieces of shit.

[Abyss]

At the very basic level, anyone who threatens a voice actor for something done by a character in a publicly bought n sold game, show, or movie, is an idiot at minimum, likely irrational, immature, with a solid shot at deranged.

A big crossover with people who get waaaaaaay too into the WWE and TV soaps et al.

Disgusting. Nobody should ever be subject to that, but Laura seems like such a genuine sweetheart as well.

I caution you that you're not supposed to use it. It's their generational trauma and their way of dealing with it.

I would never call someone that word but again I find it more than odd that the word is so controversial, so divisive, so laoded that I cant even use the word on the forum apparently in an informative sense but I hear it being bandied about in Brooklyn the same way I would hear people use the word bro in South Africa. Either the word is the equivalent of an atomic bomb or its not. Again its not that I never swear but I wouldnt drop the f-bomb infront of kids, at work and def not at customers.

Amp is right. I have friends who use it and include ME in its usage. And they laugh their asses off when I inadvertently react physically because of the awkward feeling. Then they'll say something and I'll start laughing. But you better believe I am solid in the fact that it still ain't cool for me to speak that way with them. Even if they are cool with me doing so, I will not.

Ennio Morricone has died. 91 years old.

It's been hot here, with around 90°F high temps the past few days. But according to the weather forecast the next few days it's going to tickle the century mark. So hot and sticky it is. Fun.

Glad for my wife getting to go out with friends for a couple of days, but have to keep the negative side bottled up to not ruin it for her (namely, me caring for all 4 kids on my own as usual, but usually it is while she sleeps off an overnight shift...). Been feeling dumped on and neglected of late, and we still haven't even celebrated Father's Day.

[Mezla PigDog]

Gust, did you get remarried and have more kids while you were gone?? I didn't think you had been gone so long! Congrats if so.

Lol. Thanks. Yeah, my ex decided she was lesbian. And then I found someone in St. Louis (with 2 kids of her own) that was a far better match.

I don’t think it would be wrong for you to ask for a little “me” time. Just be gentle and understanding of her needs in the way you ask for it.

Yeah, I will try at some point. Just been a rough year and sometimes I feel close to her and other times I feel neglected.
