Almost finished BG3 (at almost 100 hours on this playthrough), then planning to start Starfield!

Been another week of pointless stressful bullshit at work for me, which eats into my real life outside of work more than I'd like. That being said, making some progress on finding a therapist (a surprisingly difficult process it seems) and also a driving instructor -- almost made it to 30 without learning to drive, but the time is now!

Also starting the process of ditching music streaming in favour of Bandcamp, which has been fun. Been feeling some real nostalgia for the old days of buying tracks off iTunes!

Loved the first article, as a relatively recently out bi man, it’s always nice when I read something else that makes me feel seen, y’know?

I’m only relatively recently out, and still feeling out what label works best for me, but I like bi, it feels right. And it’s the nicest flag so 🤷‍♂️

Apollo all the way, sad to see it go

Love that expansion for all the lore, some cool weapon/character mods to pick up too if you poke around for long enough.

Absolutely loved Control, how far through are you? You start getting lots of really OP superpowers as you go through the game and it makes combat super fun. The expansions are excellent also.

I’ve got good news for you

Thank you! I’m a big fan of Simon Stalenhag and this was very much inspired by Tales from the Loop!

Dorfromantik is a very chill puzzle game that runs great on Steam Deck if that’s your thing, a favourite of mine while the TV is going in the background.

If you’re into factory games I 1000% recommend Shapez, which is a shape-building game that doesn’t have the notion of grinding or currency or running out of resources. It’s immensely satisfying when you get the perfect mechanism together and you’re churning out shapes. Definitely one for mouse and keyboard though.

Definitely, had a similar experience of r/antiwork giving me a bit of a nudge to leave a crappy job where I had some similarly unfortunate conversations with management. Hope you’re enjoying the new career!

That’s brilliant, hope to see Reddit turn into nothing but a slew of super-specific protest posts.
