Tarantula, assuming I don’t keep current intelligence. I think eat bug would be good life.

Is it something like this?

They annoyingly have some proprietary licensing. Cozy Grove 2 was Netflix only. I only have it because my spouse’s comfort show is on Netflix, otherwise it’s going to be gone

Thank you for the in-depth explanation! I’ve wishlisted it and will pick it up when it goes on sale. The art is absolutely beautiful, I can see how it could get haunting and lonely.

I was never able to get into Dwarf Fortress, but that’s awesome that there’s a rogue like mode coming out!

I actually own Returnal on PS5 but never gave it much of a thought. It sounds like it’s worth trying though!

I sunk 25 hours into Balatro the first weekend I had it on PC. Also bought the mobile version when it came out, and have put an embarrassing amount of time into it.

I’ve beat all the levels of vampire survivors too! I forgot- I was OBSESSED when it first came out

Thank you! I have binding of Isaac wishlisted. I watched some gameplay of Risk of Rain and it didn’t grab me. I’ll check out the other recs.

Wishlisted! Just an FYI the thumbnail has a typo (along with the end of the trailer)- it shows the “18ht” attic

Wasteland 3 is one of the games that I wish I could play again for the first time. Not new, but I can’t recommend it enough.

Absolutely. And not that it matters, but my wedding was less than a grand.

I also understand the need to evaluate my decisions, and weigh my influences, and even still I recognize that my choices are a result of who I am and I am the sum of my experiences. I know that my experiences and upbringing and societal expectations shape my decisions.

Off topic, are you aware of systems engineering processes for safety such as MSDS sheets, or lock out tag out procedures? Just culture in aviation? Social determinants of health? My point is nothing exists in a vacuum.

I’m sad for them.

If they blame trends on individuals I wonder where they think health epidemics come from. Or other things that are way more important than weddings. Neglecting system factors I could imagine comes with a side of immense blame and, assuming the self awareness to direct it internally, guilt.

I’m saying they (we) aren’t capable of making decisions in a vacuum, void of all influence of external factors, because no human being is. We are the sum of our experiences.

Everybody is a product of their circumstances. To think otherwise is at best naive, and at worst willfully ignorant of your own privilege that you aren’t subject to the same circumstances. Yes, each of us choose our own actions, and have to deal with the consequences thereof- but actions are done for a reason, and this reason is not always within an individual’s control, but rather is them trying to do what is best for them with the information they have available.

In this case, weddings have been marketed to a certain demographic. Marketing tends to work- but in this case even moreso due to centuries of societal condition. Heard the term “old maid?”

It’s not weird at all. My therapist had me imagine that part of me is an abandoned kitten, as a self-compassion exercise. It was extremely effective- compassion directed outwards is a lot easier for me, as it sounds like it is for you.

That’s way harder than what I do, but I’m lucky enough to have access to a flat bed scanner. I just print it out, and then scan it at every angle. That way when I email the scanned photos to myself I have all the angles at once.

“Hey! Listen!”

I took my husband’s last name because it was important to him, and I wasn’t super attached to mine. Also, it has 2 Z’s in it, and that’s one of the coolest letters.

Tbh, that’s just solid advice for anyone.
