Rainworld. Despite being a 2d game it captures the feeling of open exploration so much better than anything else I’ve ever played before

Man i couldn’t imagine how workaholics are so broken.

Unfortunately jobs require you to bring in a damn doctor’s note if you take more than a day. No point in taking a sick day if you can’t wait out the entire sick. That wouldn’t be such a problem if healthcare in America wasn’t insanely expensive and often just as dangerous as not getting it. They’re more useful for mental health day than they are for not spreading something.

You realize you can send actual shit through the mail, yeah?

Ever play a TTRPG? Give it a try, if you live in an actual civilized place you probably have a local game store and they almost certainly host games. If you live in absolute nowhere like me you could probably find local groups online. And to be clear I’m not talking about dungeons and dragons, despite what people say the ruleset isn’t new player friendly (it’s complicated, the books are poorly edited, missing rules, it’s expensive, etc. etc.).

Try out World (or Chronicles) of Darkness, at a base level they are easier to understand than any other ttrpg i have ever played (with lots of room to get more out there as you play) and it’s got a large community (as far as niche hobbies go). Oh and it’s cheap, Chronicles is best about respecting your money, but generally you only need to buy a single book (the rulebook for the creature you are playing as).

Pathfinder is also a good choice as the second most popular ttrpg and they offer their rules for free online. the second edition is simpler but it does front load a lot of information on you at once (which is a good thing, you won’t have to go looking for edge case rules that don’t exist). First edition is also really good, but it’s more complicated and you might be less likely to find games since the second edition came out.

War gaming could also be a good way to meet people, but i don’t do that as much so i have less recommendations to offer, I’m afraid.

By that logic the Internet shouldn’t have safe spaces, and i agree with that statement thanks. If you can’t handle something, go somewhere else. I don’t like nazi posting so I’m not on…parlor? Is that a thing or am i thinking of something else?

Good riddance. All an instance acting like a walled garden does is hurt the entire space, and that doesn’t just apply to beehaw.

Side note; what the hell do you have against serial experiments lain? It’s weird that it’s on the list thrice, and I didn’t even know there were new sites about lain, so thanks for that i guess.

Communism, definitionally, cannot have a state. That isn’t gatekeeping. Your can argue about getting there but then tankies generally support states with no interest in actually doing that.

GDP means nothing, gross GDP means less than nothing. It’s practically removing information from a discussion.

What can i say, the dude abides

God damn the kids really don’t know the difference. Anyways i use it less probably because I’m browsing Lemmy on my phone in-between other tasks, but maybe I’ll start spicing things up.

Who is booing this man? He is completely correct

I’m as okay as someone can be in a society made to create suffering.

Just s trainer, probably good enough to make money off it (considering i only play the good games; fan games with real difficulty) but I’m not down with all that responsibility.

Turns out the world is flat. And under a dome. And Jesus is on top of the dome. And aliens have visited us in the dome. And so much more.

Now that i think about my first job was fucking wild.

My buddy was in a forklift taking some stock down and i was spotting, basically just hanging out and making sure no one got in the way. A few minutes after the normal time it’d take he thinks something is wrong and calls me to take a look (from afar) to see how fucked we are; the answer was very, the pallet was barely holding together at all, but i couldn’t see a damn thing from my position. Before i could get back to spotting we heard a loud crack and the world went still, i imagine for much longer by him, and not a second later we had hundreds of pounds of foul smelling mulch everywhere.

I had a lot more there too; babysitting an old man that looked on the verge of death with no management anywhere to be found, moving hundreds of pounds at a time by hand, dealing with the best conspiracy theorist ever.

I’ve been bored everywhere else I’ve ever worked.

I feel like, if one contract falls through and your company is in shambles, it wasn’t a very good company.

That’s a good one, I’d love to be able to enjoy things in their native languages rather than butchered (at best) translations.

Yes. Even idiot Republicans support it when you tell them about it without using words that trigger their only braincell.

Enough of your wild theories, we are trying to answer this question need in reality
