Sprouting Death (media.piefed.world)

This build is something I threw together in a few hours. Alas, it too was sacrificed, but it's fun to look back on old ideas.

Are Lego adults okay? Been seeing lots of Eldritch horrors from the darkness between the stars lately

[-] squ1ddos@piefed.world 3 points 2 days ago

I can't say they all are, but I think I am pretty mellow and eccentric. :P

I don't doubt it 😁 I enjoy these though. How do you have access to all of these parts? Your posts look like thousands of dollars in plastic

[-] squ1ddos@piefed.world 2 points 1 day ago

Most of the time the parts are ordered through Bricklink and are cheap. Plus I do not have kids, just a wife and kitty. I don't do drugs or drink. I'm a lead tech at a computer business and once the essentials are paid, my money goes to Lego. I enjoy it, but evidently it is not healthy, according to the psychological exam I just got the results from.

What, guys can't have hobbies? I think it's cool and I'll be telling my brother about that site. He's new to having disposable income and wants to build Legos with his girlfriend but shit's expensive. It is some premium plastic

Yeah, basically since I'm always stressed due to my wife's condition and her not taking the appropriate steps for staving off the issue, she just gets worse and my request falls on deaf ears.. So I've given up and just go in the basement and zone out with my angry happy music. I create works of art, but I guess that's the result of being hyper focused from stress. The psychiatrist said I need therapy, and Lego isn't the best coping mechanism. Sorry or rant, but yeah. Bricklink is great and if you want to be frugal, you can always find knock off sets or parts at a Dollar Store.

Oof wait yeah that is pretty disassociative. Not that I have room to talk, I'm doing the exact same thing to escape the personal sword of Damocles hanging over my own life.

I mean, that's the problem with these things right? It's that they ARE effective coping mechanisms but coping doesn't address the problem or help us grow. Don't sweat it, sounds like talking to a therapist would at least help you process what's happening. I know I couldn't even start for a long time because I just had never even tried describing it to someone. I hope the situation with your wife gets better and take care of yourself 🫂

I greatly appreciate that and I honestly have no idea. She's refusing treatment for her aggressive MS and I feel that I am mostly her trigger. That of which is causing her not to get better. It is a double edge sword, but I thought I had some sort of autistic trait about me. Nope, turns out I'm just stressed and I use LEGO as my escape. So, anything that follows during my build sessions is a reflection of the stress I am tring to avoid. I just love showing off what I can do with LEGO and what can be possible.
