I can take a look later today and find some that are not on the floor, would sitting in a chair be preferable? I did see lots of standing ones but I think those would require balancing, too. I can take a look later or you can tell me to stop πŸ₯°

The woman is on the floor performing various movements. It’s an hour long and I didn’t personally do this one but it can give you a general idea.

Floor Barre Routine
YouTube video by Ballet Peeps NYC Floor Barre Routine

I think it was inspired by ballet, the idea is you do a lot of repetitions of movements and you end up feeling muscles you didn’t even realize you could feel. The barre exercises I did were all on the floor and I was dying.

Let me know if this video works

Ignore if just venting but if you are open to suggestions: I gave β€žBare” a try and was absolutely shocked how effective it is without any weights! I don’t think I ever felt my muscles like this before. I was shocked πŸ˜…

While I was at BioWare, EA *always* preferred Mass Effect, straight up Their Marketing team liked it more. It was modern. It had action. They never quite knew what to do with DA, and whenever DA outperformed ME, ME got the excuses. If you ask me, it was always just shy of the axe since DA Origins.

The issue is that the people involved with the show don’t think they have an issue. There was a tweet where it was essentially disregarded because they have a diverse cast. There was hope that in season 3 things would get better and, IMO, it got worse.

The one struggle of being on this med is that it is giving me a slightly increased anxiety (apparently normal when starting) so I’m supposed to stop coffee 😭 so now I have a withdrawal headache and anxiety 🀣 I’m trusting the process though. It will be worth it I’m sure 🀞

I never thought I’d say I’m happy to be diagnosed with a mental disorder and yet here I am, happy about it… I was right all these years that something was off and me not getting better, despite my best efforts, wasn’t because I didn’t try hard enough. πŸ₯ΊπŸ˜­

Very random and pretty TMI but I finally got a diagnosis from a psychiatrist and I am finally starting medicine for my mental health… this is day 1, and here is to a healthy mind! πŸ₯Ή

I hope to feel relief soon, although, I know it takes a few weeks to notice a difference.

a screenshot of a tumblr ask from David Gaider's defunct tumblr:

Alistair Never Loved You

I’ve heard the β€œAlistair never loved you” thing before. Where does it come from? Is that some kind of inside joke? Because it seems mean. β€” Anonymous fan question

dgaider

Oh. Yes, I suppose it is an inside joke.

In DAO Awakening, there was an item you could findβ€”an old snow globe which commemorated the wedding of Cailan and Anora (as it said on a little plaque, according to the description). I think it was a gift item.

Anyhow, this fan came to the BSN and raged about how this snow globe of Alistair and Anora’s wedding had clearly voided her DAO ending choice of marrying Alistair. How dare the game do that, Alistair was her one and true love, etc. etc. There were lots of ALL CAPS and exclamation points and angry words.

My response was to suggest that, if she’d read the snow globe’s description very carefully, she would see that what the plaque actually said was β€œAlistair Never Loved You.”

I now have a snow globe on my desk now which says exactly that, given to me by a fan at a con. It makes me smile.

bringing this back because it's hilarious, this fandom never changes, and sometimes I think devs should be meaner actually lmao
