Depression

I played 72 hours of EA, and now I'm 54 hours into the official release. I'm having a great time. When I'm not playing it, I'm thinking about it.

Honestly I'm not having a great time. Most of the hobby communities are graveyards. I spend a lot less time here because I'm not interested in tech communities at all.

I think it's so you can't get your political rivals arrested to prevent them from running against you. Kinda like Lula in Brazil. I think it makes sense, even if it feels shitty right now. Congress could still do something about it, but good luck getting more than a handful of Republicans to hit their party's self destruct button.

They mean elderly during the Great Depression. It was a driving force behind Social Security.

The Dick Jerk Theorem finally comes back around

Manchin is probably providing cover for a few corporate Dems. If it wasn't him, it would be one of them, I'm sure. We just really need to get corporate money out of politics.

Since you included movies I'm gonna drop Paprika right here.

Are her fans kinda unhinged? Yeah maybe. Racist conservatives? Unlikely.

I wish any of my other hobby communities were this active.

I'm part timing on both right now, Sync closes down tomorrow and then I'm here full time. We'll see how people trickle in as the various apps close down.

I love both. A lot.

I've been thinking about what my ideal group of companions is, and then trying to fill a role that's not represented by them. Right now I'm thinking maybe Sorcerer.

I came here to share this one. I wasn't fully aware of what I was getting into emotionally. And then I sent Gwen off. And it was so soul crushing. I think the game has fundamentally changed how I feel about my own eventual death.

There can be value in lobbying. But this ain't it.

It feels like Divinity, which is exactly what I wanted. I've no love for BG 1 & 2.

Haven't seen it mentioned, but, Spiritfarer
