I finished Outer Wilds a few weeks ago. It was, in my opinion, one of the strongest arguments for treating video games as an art form that I’ve ever experienced. It’s not long - I finished it in about 20 hours - but the narrative and story is so well put together and thought out that it felt a lot longer. I thought it was beautiful and thought provoking.

Video games as a whole aren’t for everyone, but if I meet someone and they’re interested in games but hasn’t played them much, Outer Wilds is on the top of my list of recommends. If you play a lot of video games, this one will amaze you. Don’t read anything about it - just grab it when it’s on sale and go in blind. I did and it made a big difference.

If you can, try to get in and see an endocrinologist. They specialize in hormones and their effects on the body.

I saw one with my partner for her specific issues and it’s made a big difference in quality of care. For one, the endo actually listens to her and works with us to find the problem. Experiences may differ but a specialist is the right path, if you’re able to see one. Hope you get a chance to - it took us months to get an appointment with one near us, but it’s been worth it so far.

It’s not the source of this comic, but the same artist that made it now makes a cute and fun to read college AU with the same characters that updates daily. It’s been going for a decade now, so you’ll have a lot of catching up to do, but if webcomics are your jam then I highly recommend. www.dumbingofage.com
