Sorry for the late reply! This is an incredibly extensive list, thank you so much! I’ll have to give the game another go at some point here. It seems super charming, so maybe if I go into it with this added knowledge, I’ll be able to get my bearings. Have you tried the new game that just released a while back? I think it was called my time at Sandrock?

I am begrudgingly continuing my NG+ run of elden ring today so that I can play the DLC on Friday. It’s my own fault because I started NG+ thinking I would get through it. But after an almost 200 hour first playthrough, I was done and put it down.

I am not a big fan of how the DLC requires you to get further into the game to play it. But that minor gripe aside, I am quite interested to see where they take us in the DLC. I’m thinking I’ll need to fight my way to be able to respec again and I might go into the game as a spellcaster once more. Not quite sure just yet, but thinking about the possibilities is getting me a bit hyped haha

This was an insightful read. Thanks for sharing!

The first time I tried my time at Portia, I found building stuff took forever. I was trying to build a bridge(iirc?) And I felt like it was just going to be a lot of waiting. Was I playing it wrong?

Stardew Valley is the game that keeps on giving. At this point, I wish there was just more. More towns to visit, more activities, more everything.

The only thing that does kind of suck is that after year 1 I feel like I’ve kind of mastered whatever I was attempting to do. I’ve heard some people say after year 1 is where they enjoy the game the most, but idk I feel like by that point I’m making more money than I need and the only thing left to do is collect stuff or attempt the skull cavern.

But man. That first year is a blast. I’ve been thinking I should try out more mods or possibly a jojamart run at some point

Just trying to get the NRA back on their side prior to election

Honestly, I have no idea how valid/effective the Chinese vaccine is. But stuff like this is bad for everyone, not just the people they were targeting. Short sighted plan, in my opinion.

Even more disturbing if it caused extra deaths.

You’re very welcome, I’m glad! We definitely can get through this. :)

:3 cool beans, well I’m glad then! Thanks for taking a look at my little corner of the internet

This is it here. Please keep your expectations low lol

It’s not amazing by any means. I’m basically mostly just messing around with streams and shorts recently as they’re much faster to make.

(I hope this doesn’t come off a spammy as I mention my channel from time to time. It’s basically just a little hobby right now. My goal is to just currently keep improving. My childish dream would be to eventually just be able to live off of it and just be able to bring together a cool community of people. But I’m not holding my breath haha.)

I’m sooooo close to getting a week off work. Just trying to hang in there. It’s funny how a persons focus wavers when they know a break is coming.

I have been making some small progress with my youtube/livestream channel. I’m up to 54 subscribers, which feels like I’ve moved at a snails pace since September. But I’m picking up some steam, in the past while so that’s super cool. I think my videos are bad lol but given the amount of time I can actually work on stuff during the week, I think I’m actually doing alright. I’m hoping that eventually, I’m able to find a solid direction of where I want to take my videos. But for now I just want to make stuff that is fun/ that can make people happy in even just a small way

I feel the same about my own issues and troubles. Just wana stop by and tell you that your issues are valid. Even though there’s always bigger fish out there. Your issues and feelings are valid and sometimes life is just unfair and fucking hard.

I hope that this can help even a little bit. I try to tell myself this sometimes, but I find it hard to take it to heart unless I hear it from someone else. Hang in there! I hope your week shapes up and gets better

Maaaan I wish I could go to open sauce! Enjoy! That’s going to be a blast

Dammit this is what I was afraid of lol. I started playthrough #2 and didn’t get much further than the second area. It’s fine I suppose. It wouldn’t be the worst. At least I still have all the equipment etc from the first run

4 5 8

I’m hanging in there, but I’m ready to get off the roller coaster, please.

Plus, if you don’t live in Vancouver or Toronto, your chance of seeing a non Canadian artist is a lot more slim. And even then, they might come nearby, but then you’re spending either gas money, a plane ticket, plus staying overnight at a hotel.

Idk about everyone else, but I’m struggling to pay the cost of living. Never mind having a luxury like that.

I’ve heard that some of the wealthy are fleeing so that they don’t get affected by the war directly. I assume some are waiting for it to blow over and will return when it’s done. Or some might just set up somewhere else.

Of course, it’s impossible to tell without the whole picture (which we rarely have). I’m purely basing this off of what I have read and the videos I’ve seen. So I could be entirely wrong.

I hope this isn’t a trend that will continue to other provinces. It prevents people from being able to make decisions that are right for them. There’s still a lot of vulnerable people who need this

I agree. I think this is spot on. It’s the context. If I see Russians traveling around right now, I assume they are traveling to avoid the war, but aren’t against it happening. I feel like with these videos, it’s always the Russians that are puppets to their government. Never the ones that oppose the war.

Russians that legitimately want nothing to do with their government/ want peace are cool though.

This video seemed like she was lacking an outside perspective. She says she’s seeking a calmer place to live, but it sounds like she doesn’t understand the context that everyone else has. Everyone is eyeing Russians right now because nobody wants a bunch of warmongers moving into their country. I’m not saying all Russians are like that, but nobody knows if a person is or not. So they’re making quick judgement

I’m not sure how it is in Mexico/south America but I know in Canada we have a cultural melting pot, but people bring their past quarrels with them into the country. So you have a bunch of people living in Canada that will occasionally fight each other because of what Is happening in their original countries. Nobody wants to deal with that

I kind of wish this would just…happen faster. Obviously, it would be bad. But I’m hoping if enough people had a cold water shock of inflation that hit hard and fast, maybe people would be more likely to protest and push for political change that would help the average person.

It’s all likely more complicated than that. It would be nice to see positive change in my lifetime though. It makes me laugh when the economy can be simultaneously “good” but the general population is spending less. Obviously someone is doing well out there. It’s just not us
