trying to build a gaming community

Anyone that knows me well would know that roughly 9 years ago my world ended as I knew it when I lost my job. Since that time I have relegated myself to a gaming life and it has been bumpy to say the least. I spent a lot more time online with the computer and during that time I learned to be my own doctor by conducting research on various things by reading articles from medical examiners/practitioners or whatever you'd like to call them. Honestly, the medical field is difficult to navigate and there's a lot of scamming going on if you ask me.

Most people don't know their right from their left when it comes to proper health. I used to think stuff like oats was good for me when in fact it was killing me. And it's no different when it comes to video games. I've dabbled in video game design with the Warcraft III World Editor and I have to say although I didn't make much progress in that regard, it taught me a lot about gaming and I've also been visiting twitch.tv a lot to interact with other streamers and help them build their communities. I've been a moderator for an affiliated Creative streamer(she has been painting for fun) and a clip champ for a partnered League of Legends streamer for quite some time now and I think it's about time I try to build my own gaming community.

I have been variety gaming lately, as I haven't been qualified to do as much as I'd like to in the real world. So normally if you want to get good at a game you shouldn't do variety gaming, but I have too much time for gaming so I'm at least half-good at many games. And the ones I'm not half-good at I don't mind so much, sometimes. But I'm also a somewhat picky gamer. I don't like violence for the sake of violence, that kind of thing doesn't rub me the right way. And there are other things that just don't tickle my fancy.

If you're reading this far, you might know me on Facebook and if that's the case you may like playing video games. If you think it could be fun to watch me play, then please consider joining my discord and you'll get notified when I'm streaming and you can then watch me play and chat with me. Honestly, it would mean so much to me to have my friends help me build my gaming community. I want clean association, meaningful conversations, I want to feel like I'm me again and I feel like to do that I need to be surrounded by my friends. 

potato chips are great

I have been eating Lays, the Simply style of them that is. Good chips. I don't have the patience for cooking potatoes so It's nice to grab a bag and munch on them that way. Also I can use the oil and even the salt is good for summer time.

I.B.S. is still ever-present with me but I think if I ate more it might go away. Haven't been bleeding for quite some time now but all it would take is eating the wrong thing and I'd be in big trouble. I've been constipated(as well as having Diarrhea) in recent times without bleeding and I think I can chalk it up to simply not eating as balanced as I could be.

Hoping to get a job to somehow pay for more food but I need a relatively light energy assignment.

I'm also loving dates with pits in them. So much better than the others. Not only do they seem to have better shelf-life but they also have more fruit for each date as the mechanical pit removing devices don't do a good job of removing the pits and remove a lot of the fruit too. Plus it's probably better to just remove the pits in a bacteria-using way with your mouth and hands.

I've wondered about mayo and at the moment I'm eating some that only has egg yolk and oil and sugar and such in it whereas for some reason a lot of mayo products have egg white in them which is not really what I'm looking for. Might not be the healthiest thing ever but it sure is interesting to mix it with some salsa and some mustard, comes out like that sauce for the Big Mac.

And I've been eating meat candy. The walks at times feel like they take a lot out of my muscles and such so I'll buy some beef jerky, it has sugar and salt in it and I'm not a fan of the sugar but it's not too bad if I drink some kefir with it since there are some probiotics in that.
