CarrionCrow: Damn it, Pillars...
I really can't afford you, not even sure if my computer will run you. So why do you keep taunting me!?!?!
(This bears mentioning - I am not looking for anyone to gift this to me at any point. If a ninja gifter sees this and gets the idea, this is fair warning - I will end up gifting you back the same amount in other items, if not more.)

That's just how I feel. I haven't even tried Baldur's Gate or Icewind Dale yet, those are still sitting on my wishlist, so I'm sure I should get to them first. From that point of view another good sale will help.
The spring one does seem to have a lot of Double Insomnia repeats - just as well, I guess, as the last time I tried to use my credit card, it asked for asylum.
How are you doing with the vow of abstinence? That's admirable, but very hard to do all at once. I managed to quit smoking long ago, but never coffee. Although I did read that it's easy to quit smoking if your body is less acid, and coffee makes it acid, so perhaps you are right. Try putting some lemon juice in the water you're now drinking, to help the alkaline balance along?
Good luck!
If you don't mind a bit of a wait, the D&D Classic bundle is pretty much a mainstay of any large GOG sale, so it should be back around in June.
Less than 30 dollars for 9 games that will provide hundreds of hours of enjoyable gameplay, it's one of the best consistent bundles that GOG puts out.
Yes, it seems like the publishers of some titles are a bit more strapped for cash, so they're putting their items up repeatedly to try to wring whatever coin they can get from them.
Ups and downs. Being hooked on both for decades isn't helping when it comes to breaking the pattern, but I'll get there.
All else fails, I'll lock myself in a room with a nicotine patch for emergencies and no stimulants for a week or two.
Should help to get over the initial bumpy part then.
For me, it feels like caffeine ingestion (coffee, soda, or both) works with the nicotine addiction symbiotically.
They mesh together almost eerily well, to the point that trying to engage in one without the other just doesn't work.
I'm sure there's a link in the ritual behavioral pattern of drinking coffee first thing in the morning along with smoking, getting your chemical levels back up after sleeping, making the two go hand in hand to the person who's addicted.
Thank you for the kindness and the suggestion. Willing to try just about anything that isn't blatantly self-destructive to help take the edge off. -laughs-
