This album makes me happy: Lemon Jelly - Lost Horizons

But also my big bushel of protobeans

There are about 15 of them and they're always happy to see you! Except the shork bean, who is always happy to chew on you.

Oh this does make me happy!

I finally got my ADHD medicine refilled after months of issues.

When I'm on it, it's like I remember how to be happy (I also have Depression).

Oh that's great! I have depression too. I'm thinking about trying to go back to therapy.

I have been collecting game consoles for nearly a decade, and the collection is beginning to round off. I have nearly every Atari, Sega, Nintendo, PlayStation, and Xbox console released in North America. It has taken a long time, and a lot of deal finding, but it is a rewarding task/hobby.

Thank you for your time.

[–] LinkOpensChest_wav@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

That is so great! I only have a PS1 and PS4 currently.

Do you play them?

[–] FlaccidJim@lemm.ee 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Unfortunately time isn’t something I have much of, but when I do I try my best to sit down and play something. I usually tend to lean towards my NES or Super Nintendo, but I just recently got an Atari Jaguar and a copy of Doom. So that’s been the latest time waster : )

Have any good ones for your PS1? I always loved Crash Bandicoot 3, childhood classic for me!

[–] LinkOpensChest_wav@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 9 months ago (2 children)

I have one of my favorite games on it: Final Fantasy IX

I'd like to get the original Resident Evil, but the PS1 version is super expensive now

[–] FlaccidJim@lemm.ee 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Trust me when I say; The video game market went up during Covid, and now it just denies to go back down. I’ve bought a couple consoles from Japan just because they’re cheaper, and some of them are region free.

[–] LinkOpensChest_wav@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I used to have a N64, GameCube, PS2, Gameboy, Gameboy Advance, and Wii, but I gave them away. I never thought they'd go up in price so drastically.

[–] FlaccidJim@lemm.ee 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I’m fairly sure all of those except the PS2 and Wii are region free (without modding). If you ever go to wanting them back, grab one on eBay from Japan. Significantly cheaper, and you can play the same games!

Thanks for the tip!

[–] bunnyfc@kbin.social 2 points 9 months ago

Final Fantasy IX always intrigued me, I love the look of the game to bits but idk whether I could get through it

[–] zcd@lemmy.ca 2 points 9 months ago

You need a 3dO!

[–] Wutchilli@feddit.de 10 points 9 months ago

Developing a thus far mutual crush. Been a long time, forgot what it was like feeling this peppy. 🐱

[–] germanatlas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 9 months ago

I managed to get my average completion percentage on steam above 50%

[–] sag@lemm.ee 10 points 9 months ago (1 children)

There's a 1/81 probablity that I am her crush :)

[–] radix@lemm.ee 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

How'd you calculate that? 9 people, and everyone has exactly one crush?

[–] sag@lemm.ee 5 points 9 months ago

So, Here's how I calculated it. She have 81 followers on Instagram. She told me That her crush follow her. If I only count Boys then probability will increase.

Something that makes me happy is having a personal project to work on. Like right now, I'm brainstorming and doing research for writing a fanfic. Have I ever written a fic before? No. Will I actually write this one? It doesn't matter. I'm having fun preparing for it, and if I get distracted by some other project and start working on that instead, and the cycle perpetuates indefinitely and I never finish a single project, it doesn't matter. I'm enjoying the journey.

I hope it goes well! I love trying new things

[–] TheCoolerMia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 9 months ago

Looking in the mirror after doing my hair :3

[–] whodatdair@lemm.ee 7 points 9 months ago

The potatoes i grew that i put in storage at the end of last year look like they’ve successfully turned into seed potatoes and I’m excited to plant them this year ^_^

[–] zcd@lemmy.ca 7 points 9 months ago

Fire walk scenes in movies. You know its a dude in a suit, acting his heart out for a few brief moments of glory on screen, while on fire! Bonus if they’re falling off a building or something epic

[–] MrBusiness@lemmy.zip 6 points 9 months ago

To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women.

That and showing my niece and nephew shows I liked when I was a kid and them also enjoying em.

[–] lazzerot@startrek.website 6 points 9 months ago

An episode of Star Trek after a long day.

My friends/sibling.

Researching my niche interests/finding out I share a niche interest with someone.

Taking a mental health walk.

Snacking unhealthy amounts of camembert, drinking black tea and Berber (green tea with spearmint) tea, snacking cucumber.

Eating good Falafel/Sushi/Asian/Middle-Eastern cuisine.

A good workout/feeling completely exhausted after doing martial arts.

Being able to help other people.

And because of your username: playing TotK.

[–] Rascabin@lemmy.ml 6 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Guru energy drink is your friend. Acting like you are working is your profession for the day.

I'm drinking Fanta Zero, but maybe I should switch to something with caffeine

[–] miss_brainfarts@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Seeing other people happy makes me happy.
Making other people happy gives me life.

And I've managed to make huuuge progress concerning certain blahaj-related things, and that is just... can't even put it into words, really

Congratulations <3

Also, what a fantastic attitude!

[–] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 9 months ago

i dreamed i was at a library looking at old historic books with ghosts that made me happy

[–] Renevar@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 9 months ago

Nice warm homemade food with friends while watching something you all can laugh at, it's one of the best feelings

[–] UpperBroccoli@feddit.de 5 points 9 months ago

I was in a work call today that ended with someone saying "Let's celebrate with more coffee!"

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

You make an excellent point

[–] Blackout@kbin.social 4 points 9 months ago
[–] LoamImprovement 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Coincidentally, I slept great but I was feeling too good to work so I called in sick. That's a thing that makes me happy.

I nearly did this, but I have an important thing on my calendar today

[–] ivanafterall@kbin.social 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I enjoy the sexy times, my man.

[–] essellburns 3 points 9 months ago

That's handy!

I took today off, and I'm just doing hobbies and enjoying myself with my cats sleeping next to me.

[–] Gork@lemm.ee 3 points 9 months ago

I've been wanting to get into a new hobby but damn hobbies can be expensive. But it's giving me a sense of excitement I haven't had in a while and it breaks up the monotony of the working grind.

The one I'm trying to get into is homemade FPV drones. Building from scratch, just like building a PC. Sourcing the frame, motor, electronics. Soldering and configuring. Flight testing and tinkering. More fun I think than just buying an off-the-shelf DJI Mavic.

The parts themselves don't cost all that much but it adds up fast.

A large bowl of a very spicy Miso Ramen and a cold can of Red Bull® 473ml always makes my day

[–] Maeve@kbin.social 3 points 9 months ago

Puttering around the neighborhood on my feet or bike; feeling the sun on my face. Doodling. Relaxing in a clean home/warm bath. Strawberries. Walked my fur baby the other day and saw a honeybee when I saw none, all summer last year, that made me happy.

What a coincidence, Same!

[–] Semi-Hemi-Demigod@kbin.social 2 points 9 months ago

The most recent thing that's made me happy is the MST3K Forever-athon on YouTube/Twitch. I've been dealing with some stress in my personal and professional life, and having that to go back to whenever I need it is really nice.

JUST GOT MY NEW LEGO SET I'M SO EXCITED TO BUILD THAT SHIT
