Responding for the sake of discussion. Also I’m stoned.

You’re comparing a moral dilemma and an ethical one. They are very different.

For the meat industry, how do we qualify a humane death? How do we qualify these animals as having a sense of self? What demographics might depend on that meat? How many businesses would crumble without it?

For piracy, who is the victim? Big artists, small artists, production companies, record labels, radio stations? Maybe it’s SAG-AFTRA?

Ultimately it doesn’t matter either way. There is someone out there who is violently upset that you are the way you are. Fuck the haters and do what you feel is right.

I’m right there with you.

Yesterday I was totally paralyzed with all of the things I need to do. Ended up cooking dinner and that was all. I’ve been on the job hunt for over a year now just trying to find something that brings a little light to my life, but it all seems so soul-crushing.

I’ve also been dependent on cannabis because it makes me feel… normal? Now my medical card has expired and I never used it illegally so I’m facing this dark tunnel alone and it’s overwhelming.

Though I was able to watch my neighbor’s dog and cat for 10 days earlier this month. It was strange to have living things depend on me again. My boy died about a year and a half ago and I’m still not over it. Isn’t this shit supposed to get easier with time?

We aren’t alone in feeling the way we do. Gods know I could use a hug; if you have family there soak up all the time you can get.

Let’s hope that soon we will crawl out of our personal hells and thrive.

Have you considered speedrunning?

Jokes aside, my girlfriend is trans and we stay indoors if her dysphoria hits. Video games, board games, trading card games like Magic or Pokémon, and movies.

Your friends may be hesitant at first and that’s normal as you begin your transition and present as your true self. Try not to hold it against them.

Best of luck and lots of love.

Card for anything that could possibly be issue later on so I have protection. Cash for local businesses and my favorite chicken place that doesn’t take cards.

Discovered Car Mechanic Simulator and it’s so so so satisfying. I know (knew?) absolutely nothing about the mechanical systems of cars, but it just clicks.

3U is still my favorite MH. Don’t care what anyone says about the underwater combat. I loved it.

Great games, but the older CRPGs did not age well. I’d strongly suggest reading plot summaries of the previous BG games if you are on the fence.

Pathfinder is a great game and the most modern of the bunch. Not sure why Mythforce is even in this bundle.

Dog math is quite difficult. This handsome pup must have attended UC Barkley.

Great interview by Freddie, both of them are so humble. I remember growing up in the late 90s and early 2000s when both of these men were seemingly at the height of their careers. Very glad to see them happy.

Thanks for sharing.

Western US here. We had a rope climb twice a year from 4th to 9th grade. I tried the first time and then refused every time after that.

Never did get any flak for it. Can only assume they knew it was dangerous and were happy to have kids skip it.

How many paychecks are we talking here?

Looks lovely for a home setup. Thanks for sharing

Still on the fence about buying a dock. How does JSAUX quality compare to valve?

I can’t imagine playing anything without the trackpads and my original steam controller has been lost in the void of moving.

Reeaally hoping they announce the steam controller 2 with square trackpads.

I grabbed this at the beginning of the Ukraine/Russia conflict because I saw a comment from the developer, essentially making the game free for a time.

Highly recommend if you are willing to spend 5-10 minutes familiarizing yourself with the basic controls. Runs great on Steam Deck as well.

My favorite video on the internet.

I use them in every game. Just cannot stand the right joystick.

I’m using Memmy and neither of the links function properly for me lol.

If you like survival games, please give Grounded a shot. It’s a handcrafted map (the backyard) with full voice acting. I could honesty go on about it for hours because it’s still my main game, but don’t write it off because kids and bugs. It is Obsidian quality and plays excellently on the deck.
