This past weekend, I made it through one of the big bosses in act 3 of Baulder’s Gate. I wept like a child over Karlach’s monologue about how she still feels empty after killing the guy who sold her to devils, and it didn’t change the fact that she was going to die. What’s the point of it all?
Next to last time was when I read an article about this video at work. Last time was when I got home and watched the video
There are two things.
My first girlfriend tricked me into getting her pregnant. My sister adopted our progeny. He turned eighteen a few months ago. He’d be well within his rights to hate me, but recently he’s been reaching out to me. I’ve been reaching out to him, too, and he’s responded. Every time we talk I want to cry from relief. I’m so happy he doesn’t hate me.
The other is the only dog I’ve ever had whom I chose to put down. She was the best dog I’d ever met but her pancreas had failed. She wasn’t eating and she was peeing blood, but what right did I have to decide her life was over? I hope I spared her some suffering.
Recently my nephew talked to me about my ex-dog. My goodness were there some emotions that night.
edit: Grammar.
Having to put down my beloved cat Buttons less than 24 hours ago. She was suffering and had been nearly catatonic the entire day after 5 years of well managed kidney disney. She was 17.
Best cat I’ve ever met. She slept in our bed, under blankets. Loved to be carried around and held, especially as she got older. Was chatty, loving and just the most wonderful kitty ever.
Like just a tear or two or full on weep? Because I would prefer not to dig in my memory for weeping, but just a tear or two? Cat claw in boob.

Playing Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. Drawn in by the grandness of the story but it all came down to the one thing that hits close to home for most everyone
I enjoyed the game, but I found myself wishing I’d felt any of the same emotional beats others did. The first few dramatic moments were impressive, but later parts of the story basically did nothing for me.
Think how much it resonates is going to depend on how it relates to your personal experiences with grief and how people deal with it. I think what hit home for me personally is how I could fully sympathize with all of the character’s motivations.
Yeah it wrecked me as someone whose family fell apart in the process of grief. It was so good
Speaking of games, ending of Outer Wilds.

After discovering everything you can, you still cannot stop the end of the world. Everyone dies. At least you can get the astronaut band to play together one last time.
My single favorite game of all time. Made me cry like a baby.
I’ve been crying all week. I’m 31 weeks pregnant and just diagnosed with gestational diabetes. It’s been a really hard week being bumped up to a high risk pregnancy. I’m so tired, and scared, and now i am on an exhausting eating schedule and plus, no little treats, ever. So many doctors appointments that I am attending alone when my brain is so slow.
That’s exhausting and scary. High risk pregnancies are high pressure, and it’s having a massive effect on basic day to day things like eating. Eating is supposed to be enjoyable. You’ve also got loads of doctors appointments which is more effort. How are you doing with it all?
I’m totally burnt out after only a week and a half and I still have 9 weeks to go. My sister and mom are coming over tomorrow to help me meal prep though! So hopefully that makes everything a bit easier. Thank you for checking in on me
That’s good mate I’m glad you have support. Don’t forget you can vent in !WomensStuff@piefed.blahaj.zone anytime you want to
Lost my soul-dog to bone cancer at the end of February.
R.I.P. Ripley. Love you, baby-girl.
The Expanse, “you’re not finished yet”
Okay so I cry about everything, but this year the thing that has made me cry the most (and most recently) is heated rivalry. Even on my umpteenth reheat. No shame, I just love that show and I’m often overwhelmed by the amount of love within the show, that went into making that show, and that people feel towards it. Genuine joy is such a hard thing to come by these days.
I don’t understand why but a certain type of movie trailer or similar with dramatic music makes me cry a little, even if I think it’s a stupid movie trailer.
For some reason, music makes me cry all the time, but never a movie or TV show etc. Not once
I was at a family wedding this weekend, and I teared up at the speeches made by the maid of honor and the best man.
My partner’s grandfather passing away last night
That my mom will never tell me she’s proud of me. I’m 40 I just want to hear it a few times
You made it to 40, you didn’t die, and you have enough disposable income to access the internet! I’m proud of you! I hope you are proud of you.
