Baking, brewing, and cooking are berry important hearth-building and health-building skills. They are a surefire way to make yourself /comfy/, Anon! What are you baking, brewing, or cooking at the moment? How is it coming out? What will you be trying next time? Is there anything you'd like to try improving? Is there something you'd like to learn? Maybe you have something you'd like to teach us? I tried some old things and new things today! Pics related are: >the bread I made earlier today; a shrimple white cobb loaf. This was the first time I was just able to make it from memory. It felt great to be able to just reach for the ingredients and go through the motions. As luck wood have it, the prove went well and the slashes formed up beautifully. I was worried that the crumb inside wood be a little wet but it turned out berry nice with a good chewy crust. The loaf is wrapped in beeswax cloth now so I can eat it over the week. I'm considering getting a sourdough starter going but I don't know if I'm good enough to handle it yet. >my first attempt at glazing carrots Apparently glazing (which I have found out is different from caramelising) is a basic technique that even professionals find difficult to get perfect eberry time. I think my first attempt here had just a touch too little water and a touch too little sugar, though I reckon I got the butter correct. See how the finished carrots don't have an even glaze? They still tasted berry good with some parsley and finishing

I made a berry shrimple pork dish for breakfast.  A small portion of pork butt/shoulder was browned with a bit of olive oil and then braised in the same small pot at a low simmer on the stove with water, salt, and a couple pasilla chiles for about an hour and fifteen minutes. I took it out, pulled it apart with forks and served it in a tortilla with a bit of cabbage, some green onions, and some Kewpie mayonnaise.  This deserved a beer to go with it, so I had a bottle of Asahi Super Dry.

The meat wood be great used in any number of other ways.

The only things in it were listed.  It was probably about 7 oz of meat. I used maybe a tablespoon of oil to brown it on all sides and added about 2 cups water to the pot until the meat was almost completely submerged and then added the two torn up pasilla chiles and maybe half a tablespoon of salt. The amount of water wood be completely dependent on the size and shape of the cooking vessel and the thickness of the meat.  I like to keep braising liquids salty since they are discarded anyway.  Braising cook times will vary considerably with the size a shape of what you are cooking. It is more of a poke it with a fork a see how tender it is eberry now and then sort of affair.
I've been cooking with spelt recently, but it always comes out berry hard and dense compared to regular flour. Will be making a pumpkin pie because I forgot to do so over fall, as well as a meatzza tomorrow.

Eberryone's known an animal that was different from the rest, special. This thread is a place to remember them, tell their stories, and pay tribute. Dogs, cats, birds, horses, or any others you'll never forget, all are welcome. And while it may get sad to say goodbye sometimes, don't forget to keep things /comfy/.

My sister's dog fell ill, practically overnight, and while she's still processing it, I'm afraid I know what's coming. I've been thinking about the kind of dog he's been. I've never seen a dog more dog-like than him. A German Shepherd, 80 pounds of raw muscle. If you flicked water out of a bucket, he'd do insane flips and twists to try and catch it. He'd bark at all our cars and try to bite the tires and run in circles to try and herd us if we drove where he could get at. If he got frustrated, he'd go find the heaviest log he could get his mouth around and whine while dragging it, or trying to. He loved barking at birds. But he wasn't just a brute, he was a sweet dog, and always knew to be gentle with kids. And eberry single day he wood run, run, run, even after 10 years. He was just always excited. Maybe none of that sounds berry specific or special, and I'm sorry that I can't think of any specific stories about him, but there will never be another dog like him, for any of us. He was endless.

During first year of uni, made some friends that wood play videogames with me all night, didn't study much because it wasn't difficult, lived bretty much alone even though I shared a room, the other person was never home and it was the last comfy winter I remember, eberry winter since has been humid and not really cold.
Alternatively my second to last highschool year, my brothers were gone so I finally had a room to myself, I wood play vidya and watch anime all night, go to school on the morning and the  sleep all afternoon, some people were worried about my sleep cycle but I was living the dream.
Now that I think about it my comfiness relies too much on my being alone

Comfiest time in my life was berry recent before a huge life change. I worked at a car dealership fixing cars. At that point in my life, I had tried (and failed) to get my degree, so I was bouncing around different jobs and coming home to vidja eberry night. My relationship with my mom wasn't the best and I know she must've been worried about me spending all my time online. We'd argue a lot, so there was plenty of tension at home.

When covid came around and people started becoming scared just to leave their house, strangely it had the opposite effect on me. I'd go out of my way to get to parks or just walk around my neighborhood and even developed a personal route for jogging. I think I just hated being told I couldn't go do something that should be a normal thing you can always go do. I'd been playing vidja all my life and I finally started growing out of it because of this. My online friends and I were sad, as they were my closest friends I had at the time and this change was berry abrupt, but we all ended up going our separate ways.
I ended up falling in love with the whole car hobby. Shortly after, I started working at the dealership parking and washing cars. I was enthralled by car culture; something I never even had any kind've remote interest in before. It started after my brother bought this suped up sports car and had me drive it. I couldn't believe how much fun I was having, it completely opened up this whole world to me that I never knew existed. Him and I'd go

The norm now is that most kids will jump at any excuse to give up. It's like they're looking for opportunities to honorably discharge themselves so they can have the dignity of saying they "could've" soared without having to actually exert themselves. I was irritated when the effort vanished, but at the same time this was an unprecedented scenario and nobody knew yet what the reasonable expectations were. I also taught film & video, which is a hard thing to do from home when 90% of them only have phone cameras and nobody to work with. I'd hoped to see more fight in them, but in the end they interpreted the lockdowns as a perfect chance to give up. We just retooled eberrything the best we could so we could restart fresh next time.
One girl submitted a film was basically her leaning over her couch in a tank top, braless, gabbing on about how she was so bored and alone and wanted to brighten up her life by doing something crazy. It was obviously an invitation from a girl who was scared of failing, but I didn't bite. I'm married, anyhow. This is the first time I've thought about that in years.

Heya /comfy/. I want to hear your discoveries and experiences on the numerous adjustments you made to your life to make it as comfy as it can be. It can even be plans for future comfiness. I want to see it all. It doesn't even matter if someone else posted about a similar experience. I want to read as much as you feel comfortable sharing. It doesn't matter how small, since even the smallest change can yield a net positive.

Sometimes, I just become too complacent in uncomfy stuff and assume it can't be helped until I see someone set an example. I have difficulty letting myself be comfy due to personal reasons and as a consequence, I do nothing.

Being comfy isn't just about doing nothing, but it's also about going out of your way to do stuff to be comfy. I'd love for this thread to be a helpful resource into achieving the comfy mindset and serve as a source of inspiration, so share away!

To start, here's a bunch of experiences that I'd like to share.

I always liked Logitech keyboards, but the keycaps they come with are pretty shoddy. The letters washed off when I cleaned them. They even peeled away and stuck to my fingers after some light use. To top it off, I'd have to fork over more money for replacements that likely would do the same. It always stressed me out. I did a little investigation and found out that there are different types of materials used for keycaps. ABS, PBT, and pudding keycaps from what I remember. 90% of keyboards these days come with ABS keycaps and Logitech was no different. Basically, ABS keycaps are the cheapest type and they're thinner, but they're decently quiet for typing. PBT keycaps usually have better ink and sometimes even letters engraved into the material, but they're thicker which means they might produce a heavier thonk sound when you type on them. Pudding keycaps are the best of PBT and ABS combined, in my opinion. The very top is PBT which makes it very durable, and the letters don't get worn off, but the sides are ABS and not inked, which still keeps the quieter typing experience of an ABS keycap. Now, most Logitech keyboards have their unique switches that the keycaps would have to be attached to, and finding keycaps for those switches is a bit tricky, but I was able to find a keyboard from them that used those common cherry switches. I ordered that one and some pudding keycaps in my favorite colors and voila, I now have a comfy keyboard that looks aesthetically pleasing, functions well, doesn't feel greasy after a day, and doesn't fall apart after some soap and water!

Regarding outfits, I decided to embrace wearing oversized sweatshirts about 2 sizes bigger than what I am. For both loungewear and when I'm out and about. Since I like to present myself as a bit dressier nowadays, I just toss a plain-colored collared dress shirt underneath it and I get the style and comfiness all at the same time. The oversized nature of each sweatshirt is perfectly comfortable enough to lounge around in on its own. I can tuck my knees under it to keep my legs warm. It's also big enough to be thrown over some actual clothes without feeling a bit tight. They add an accent color to my outfits since I wear mostly black and white, and it also generally gives me an excuse to wear some vibrant, yet soothing colors I love without it being too much. Efficiency!

And the last one for now since I'd like to avoid blogposting: Shaving is no longer something I loathe. I thought my skin was just extra sensitive to shaving, so I just lived with razor bumps, nicks, redness from irritation, etc. Turns out, I wasn't preparing myself for a shave as well as I should've been. I thought just shaving wet in the shower was enough. I picked up a much newer safety razor that was appraised for being gentle to sensitive skin, switched over to a different brand of razor blades, and started using actual shave butter instead of using my 2-in-1 shampoo as a substitute. My eyes no longer burn and turn red from the 2-in-1 and to top it off, shaving has never been faster and more therapeutic. Most importantly, it's now a comfy experience.

I do have plans to pick up one of those scented shower steamers so shaving and showering is even more comfy. I think I'll try those out sometime next month and give an update here, and maybe ramble some more about more of my experiences after I read some posts.

Keep your living space tidy and at least relatively organized. Have eberrything be easy to clean; compatibility with easy and quick maintenance is always underrated in eberrything. Put your less used stuff in boxes, mark the boxes. It's okay to clean and organize in multiple small bouts over the week. Turn on some relaxing/focusing music, or an audiobook, or a podcast. All so obvious, but it's so important that I must write it. Also, I'd recommend some non-datamining roomba, but I have never used one myself.
Get a really pleasant yet motivating desktop background, the kind you'd enthusiastically show to anyone at all. I lived with pure black backgrounds thorough my life before the lifechanger.
Once in a while, before your fall asleep, do a meditation where you relax and focus just on the senses of the body, gradually taking care of the body (rub the itch, massage the tense muscles, stretch out of joint tension). It helps to focus on not moving the gaze of the closed eyes. With training and practice, you can just do the relaxation/de-tension anywhere in any conditions even as you walk and look around. Visualizing a yarn ball unraveling itself, or any similar imagery, helps here.
Having any trouble with sleep? Take melatonin and sleep completely naked.
Don't ever be frugal over your health, hygiene, clothes, tools, equipment, devices, and do your research so that know what exactly you're paying your money for. Don't buy materials and textures that make you disturbed.
If you really like deafness-like silence, get industrial quality noise canceller earmuffs. I use 32 dBm ones at home sometimes.
Have your living space smell neutral or pleasant. If you can't tell how is it like, sniff around after a walk outside. Whatever you get used to consciously still rubs off onto your unconscious, which is berry susceptible to your environment as much as it can influence it.
Try out different teas, herbs, mixes of sorts, some are really relaxing.
Mind your posture. If you have to bend whilst sitting, try to do so at the hips, keep your back straight, spread your shoulder blades backwards.
Warm showere help with accumulated muscle tension, cold showers help with fibromyalgia and neuropathy and similar feelings of disruptive overexcitement. Mixed-switch showers help with both. I prefer to finish with a cold shower if I'm showering in the morning, and I finish with a hot shower if I know I won't be going anywhere.
Get a berry cozy mattress. It was another lifechanger for me.
Get some potted plants, and a pet if you're confident you can really handle a pet in a comfy way. I'll get a cactus or two.
Consider cutting off any unpleasant and toxic relationships altogether. Hate the people at your job? Change it, put in some effort.
In any hobbies, stop caring about doing eberrything perfectly, just roll with the mistakes. If you recognize the mistakes, then that's good enough, you don't have to always fix eberrything, just write some notes down, do some research, and you'll make less of such mistakes on your next bouts and projects.
Try out different non-fiction books on fields you have no idea about. It's just that, in my experience of random sampling, non-fiction tends to be way more chill to read than fiction, unless you have some strong opinions on the field. I'd recommend to start with books on dealing with troublesome people of different kinds where the discomfort and tension are shrimply defused, as it's the comfiest way to gain at least a part of such skills.

Hey, I really appreciate you putting the effort you put in writing your post and I've even  implemented some of these into my own routine! Thank you:)

>Learn to feel your freedom

I love this. To add onto it, sometimes I like to take walks in random directions. Whenever I'm in a place I've never been to before, I like to just explore!. I walk or drive (mostly the former) in all kinds of directions. I'll go off paths, down crevices, up bushy hills or just down cool looking alleyways. I try to focus on being in the moment and if something catches my eye, then I'll go to it and examine it! 
It's really a lot of fun, you really never know what you'll find or see, so you feel berry in the moment and berry in control of what you decide to do and what direction you decide to go. After I've had my fill, I turn back and try to retrace my steps all from memory. 
It's so funny, eberryone is always going to some predetermined space for a logical reason, which is fine, but there is such a special feeling where you're going just to go! These memories are so much more vivid than the normal day to day ones. Best part is, you can do this virtually anywhere. Explore some woods, head down some random city streets on foot, take a night walk through parts of the neighborhood you've never really paid attention to before. 

It's really something special for me, so maybe someone here w

ITT we discuss video games that possess the comfy factor. For me it's all manners of RTS games, taking time to gather resources and build a cool base is great fun. Driving games are cool too, I have fond memories of pic related (although I was pretty bad at it as a kid).

No, not the arcade, the NES game.

Oh I see. I got confused when you said 1cc.
Should I buy a R36S for /comfy/ retro emulation?

I've never held one, but the placement of the sticks looks berry awkward to me with the overall size of the device.  I have long fingers and it looks a bit awkward.  In terms of shape, I wood prefer something less like a GB pocket and more like a GBA.

Anyone remembers playing Singularity ? Maybe it was because the game was a bit easy but teenager me found it comfy at the time, especially the Soviet setting

Back when I played Fire Emblem on 3DS I couldn't WAIT for the day I could emulate the game
Maybe Im too attached to the keyboard, maybe it's just the ability to take screenshots and record footage or to easily switch to other programs

Are there any types of photos or art that remind you of your past? For me, its photos of lonely roads at night lit by street lamps. Growing up, my family took me on road trips across the U.S. and I've lived in a variety suburban neighborhoods, I've seen plenty of empty streets at night. These scenes make me feel at home.

At the risk of doxxing myself....Aurora, Illinois in the early 90's.

I wish I were a capital 'T' traveler sometimes. Lots of power, and lots of fun!

Looking at the PlayPlaces now they don't look that impressive, but I really liked exploring the tubes as a kid. I'm not surprised they shut them down though. They must have been a nightmare to keep clean considering how grubby and unhygienic kids can be. I think I might have seen an old employee in one cleaning it out once and yelling at some kids for horsing around, although at the time I thought it was someone's grandma.

Agreed. Where I live the street lights have been slowly phased with the bright white ones for the past couple years. Sometimes when I walk at night I'll see another incandescent bulb has been replaced. Only a few remain now. I've taken pictures to remember what the area looked like when they still had them.
