There is a visual novel called Our Life: Beginnings & Always that may fit this. You can play as any gender, but I played as a female and I was very affectionate and doting to the boy in the game named Cove. You can choose to just be friends or create a relationship with him and it gives you a lot of control over how the relationship moves throughout your character's life. He's sensitive and shy, but as you get to know him he becomes very supportive and loving.

You play from childhood to adults and it's very cute. I highly recommend it.

I can't spare $50, but if you'd like to set up some sort of donate page I'd be able to chip in $10. It would only take a couple of us to get you the money you need.

Beautiful writing, I couldn't stop reading. The photos look great too!

I would go. The age gap makes me uncomfortable and it would probably be an awkward time for me, but I wouldn't want to shut my son out or lose our relationship over it.

The snake boss in Nioh 2. My friend kept coming back that day to say, "You haven't killed it yet?!"

What moisturizer(s) do you use? Just curious!

I had the same reaction! I was expecting a big guy.

Every Time I Die. It was a very small venue, the stage was like 2 feet off the ground and I was front row. No barriers or bodyguards, you could just reach out and touch them. The ceiling had pretty low beams and people were hanging from them at times.

They let people on the stage and if they lingered too long, theyd shove them off. They put on a wild show, interacting with everyone and just going crazy. That venue didn't last long, it was open for 2 years and shut down after a zoning violation and some other issues.

Honestly I've never had that much fun at another show. I've been blown away by several performances, but the energy has never topped that one.

I hope you can help your friend with some programming! That sounds pretty exciting. If you ever want to share some progress pics of your minis, I'd love to see them.

I know it probably doesn't mean a whole lot since I'm just a stranger on the internet, but I'm proud of you for making it through all of this without a drink. I'm proud that you reached out for help and encouragement. I'm proud that you are trying.

Whenever things fall apart, I tell myself that I have to endure the rough times in order to fully appreciate the good. It's kind of cheesy, but it always makes me feel a little bit better.

Maybe try filling your spare time with learning something new, if you have the energy to do it. It could be something really easy like a new hobby (and maybe you could meet someone through that instead of at a social gathering with alcohol?), or it could be learning to code or something. There's lots of free resources out there.

I've been trying to learn a new language and I find it keeps me distracted from thinking about things.

You got this for today!

People have been calling them digital gardens lately.

I've ordered from them a few times. I wanted to see how bad the products are and they give new members a pretty good deal.

The products are generally better than wish, but they are still hit or miss. Think dollar tree quality for most things. I can't recommend electronics. Most of them are extremely cheap and won't last. There is a lot of etsy art/designs stolen and resold. Prints tend to be lesser quality because they don't have access to the original files.

They will spam you with notifications/emails whatever else they can and constantly tell you there are deals to get free things, but most of the time it stops you from getting the free item without inviting people or making multiple orders. Many of their big coupon offers they advertise like $200 off coupon is actually multiple little coupons that equal $200 off, but you'd need to spend hundreds to actually redeem them all.

Still, I've gotten some things from there that aren't bad. Those cardboard cat scratchers? You can find them for 1/3rd of the price and they are the same quality as any major store.

I will always recommend to shop local if you can, but a lot of us don't have that choice, and some of us can't afford it anyways.
