I did like fallout. I forgot that was amazon actually

Amazon is pretty bad at entertainment, aren’t they? Their games have tanked. Their shows are expensive and unoriginal. Am I missing any that were actually good?

To be fair to obsidian the distribution choices have nothing to do with the people who make the game part. You can have great devs with a greedy publisher.

And now you’ve used up your “what? I didn’t hear you” limit and have to just smile and nod and hope for the best.

I’m definitely interested in other country’s politics. My own’s not so much since they’re insanely depressing feeling these days. 🫤

The american system is deeply flawed, so I don’t think you should try that hard to wrap your head around it honestly. Nothing to be learned except what to avoid 🫠

Hearing about your election makes me realize how little I know about how your system works. The idea you form a new government every time is very wild sounding to me, but also the horribly entrenched two parties we have is an absolute disaster at this point and I’d be curious to see basically anything else at this point!

This explains a lot because I hate gambling

Still figuring out that coping part. Right now I have a daily anxiety spike early in the morning that wakes me up, so not going great currently.

I hope you guys can hold it together across the pond. I’ve heard that some of the same powers are turning their attention and money towards you guys now (or at least in Germany).

Also don’t drink, can confirm.

No offense, but this is exactly the kind of active pessimism that this post is trying to combat. The only mindset that creates positive change is active optimism. In other words, hope for better and taking action to try and get there.

Note that this is not to be confused with inactive optimism. “Everything will just work out on its own”. That also doesn’t work.

Active pessimism is the most damaging mindset, though, because it actively drains others of their will to make things better. Feeling hopeless is real and understandable, I’ve been feeling it, too. Spreading it around and shutting down those who are trying to do better isn’t the way to process it, though.
