20/250 - catching up on psychiatrist bills (hexbear.net)
 

I spent a long time without health insurance just eating the cost, and chipping away at the balance when I could. Now that ive got insurance, I owe them 875, but can keep seeing them if I make good faith payments. The balance will go up slower than i can pay it off now that visits arent over 100 bucks a pop, but i gotta throw something at them to keep the next appointment. Anything helps!

Thanks all! Venmo is @Eric-Zann and dm for paypal/zelle

One of the things that really made me sour on small businesses was a local coffee i shop i worked at 10 years ago or whatever. It had a great local reputation, wasnt huge, in fact it was REALLY damn small, but people loved it. Been in the same spot for 40 years, maybe 50 now.

The kid (grandkid?) worked there with me when I was working. We both made hardly anything, and the place didnt accept credit card tips, only cash, so we were lucky to get $5 a person at the end of the shift.

One day I asked the owners relative when the last time people had gotten a raise was, and he legit had no idea.

Really rubbed me the wrong way.

The price of baby necessities is outrageous, I support all those bootlegging baby items. Its also an indictment on Amerikkka that in most stores you go into, those items are completely locked up.

Ok so that's like, the head field officer at ICE.

Boyd Rice is a fascist from the 80s that made industrial and neofolk albums. The joke is that Bovino looks like Boyd Rice

Yeah you shouldnt have much issues with those two. Gamehub looks like they should work pretty well there. Are you talking about input lag on Moonlight?

Trying to catch up on doctor bills. Made some MA threads about it and will over the next few days, but if anyone could pitch in thatd be swell.

Otherwise today has been rough. Saw a doctor, a therapist, and an old friend, and to each one ive had to relay the trauma of the past 3 years that ive gone through. Mentally wiped right now.

On the bright side, I figured out how to play steam games on my android handheld, so thats super fucking rad! Getting it working actually gave me more joy than ive felt in a while.

Beyond that, hankering down for a few days. Gonna be cold. Sunday, doing some demo recordings for a gear builder so he can use them for a new line of preamps (i got a prototype from him that im gonna use on tour and shit). That'll be cool. Monday, the band auditions a new bassist.

Hope yall are well!

You do need a laptop, but Moonlight is the best way to go about it that ive found. Install sunshine on your machine, put Moonlight onto your android device, and link the two.

Emable upnp forwarding, and youre golden! Ive been sitting at my hangout spot playing this and that for the last hour, and even with mosou games, they work well!

Gamehub is the runner up if you dont have access to WiFi. That installs the game locally, but not everything runs well.

I know theres a few of you with emulation handhelds, so wanted to pass this on cause im fucking thrilled!

Traded a thing for a cool thing today [guitar amp content] (hexbear.net)
 

Traded a solid state Hiwatt that I could never really vibe with for this thing today. The onboard distortion is UGLY in a great way, and i ran a cool preamp into the power section and it took it like a champ. Thing is L O U D too.

Also the phaser is pretty nice sounding too.

Breakung up with my therapist in like 45 min and im nervous (hexbear.net)
 

I never really felt much of a connection with this guy, despite sticking it out for over a year with him. Hes very insistent that I take almost 3 hours out of my day to do in person visits and has threatened to charge me as a cancelation if I still demanded virtual, I haven't felt the ability to be honest with him about larger issues than what I discuss, and frankly I would get nervous to talk to him before a lot of sessions. I had a therapist before that I connected with better, but that was 3 years ago almost and I had to stop when I lost my last job.

Im already in the process of getting back with my past therapist, who seemed much warmer to me. When I had to stop seeing her, i cried, whereas with this guy, I'm nervous he'll try to talk me out of dropping him.

On the bus to go do it now, send me your good vibes pls
