My blackout curtains have white on the other side I am not sure much about the science behind them but they make it cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. They're quite dark on the inside. I got what I paid for. I don't think all curtains are made equally.

It's just as brainless.
This might sound funny, but I swear the four walls help. When I lived right off the water a dehumidifier helped with the high-humidity. Black-out curtains help keep the sun out, but they also keep the sun out if you catch me. Outside of that, I've heard ventilation. Don't forget to drink water, keep your electrolytes solid and take care of yourself.
It is clean, organized, and essentialist. Many moons ago it was a beautiful den, after that an art gallery. Right now, it's just whatever is easiest to decode, clean and enjoy.
The funniest part is DIVI-DEAD was the one that was calling to me the most. Probably because the way you praised it. I figured I would give it a watch to see what's going on with it, and go from there (gotta track these guys down you know?) I think vis-novels are probably the easier of the bunch to get going. Holy jam, Kamidori is set @119 hour playtime? Jesus Christ, that's not a VN, that's War & Peace.
Pumpkin Eater I played once, and have thought of as the grossest VisNovel I have ever read. It's kind of like sad family splatter-punk. It is kinetic however, it's kind of like paying for a show or something. Doesn't bug me, but I do know people are like "Where's the game!?" Speaking of good games (I see you there!) I love those two very much! They capture the frantic joy of flash games to me. Which I think Jars does as well, as long as you're not against grinding in a puzzle game. It's just so cute, a little "spoopy" and has such a fun OST. Right now, I am currently playing Look Outside, which is a RPG Maker game with a lot of love put into it. My most recent play however was Sanitarium which champed it's way through the whole thing on my laptop. I played it with headphones and heard stuff I had never heard before. Was a great game, is a great game. It's Adventure based however, in fact none of these are VisNovs, just spoopy games. They're what's been on my radar as of late.
It's so maddeningly awful. In talking with my partner about this, she ended up bursting out in tears over our latest lost boy. He's been gone for years by this point, it's just still so awful when you think about the circumstances. You do what you do for them, out of love.
I did some hoping, and some seriously long looks at the list. Thank you for these! I was gunna toss you some back if you don't mind. I realized none of them are JP, but they are all vis-novels.
Mediterranea Inferno Giallo, Homo, Death Game Pumpkin Eater Kinetic, Vomit Fest, Trauma Grotesque Beauty Ito, Dream Realm, Monster We Know the Devil Counter-Culture, Queer, Great OST
Idk if you would like any of these, but they've all been nice games to "play." Some are less interactive than others.
Of course, I completely understand. Mourn well, take care of yourself and remember they always live on in our hearts and our stories!
Retrievers are god's gift to this world. They're just some kind of love, and I am sorry you lost yours tonight. Sounds like she loved you so much, she wanted to stay with you as long as she could. I bet you she was a sweet bug the whole way through. It's really special you got to spend all the time with her. Got me tearing up over here. I hope you've got someone/thing/folks to look out for you. I hope you get a chance to mourn like the dead deserve. I hope you find happiness in the little things you loved the most about her. Allow yourself space to honor your emotions. My gal likes to think they're just waiting for us, and I can tell you I've had moments where I've felt like the little buggers are still around.
Oh my god, you guys are killing me.
Hehehehehehehe!
