No Man’s Sky - One of the most beautiful games out there imo, and has vastly improved since its disasterous launch. Warning this one does require an internet connection (actually for a good reason) but you dont have to interact with anyone, and it’s difficult to even encounter another player in the wild outside of the Anomaly hub and campaigns due to its sheer size.

Project Zomboid - Even if you have zero interest in zombie stuff it’s still worth a shot. Has a massive detailed world based off Midwestern towns in the midst of a zombie apocalypse. It’s still in development so there’s some noticeably unfinished aspects, and they’ve only just begun to add non-zombie NPCs.

My go to site which has most of what I’m looking for is still up. So much for that lmao.

Scaphism, but specifically for corrupt politicians.

The thing with a lot of the methods mentioned is that I’ve seen both teens that are more mature than me, and people in their thirties that should probably have their internet privileges revoked.

I think it’s just everywhere now. I see it on Tumblr too.

Unfortunately, even our most advanced ones are more limited than a lot of people think and have a high rejection rate of around 44% that’s never talked about. Some do genuinely like them, but many say they still prefer the relatively simple body powered prosthetics, or none at all.

This could change as advancements are made, but as of now they’re a bit of a scam.

Howl’s Moving Castle. Not that I didn’t enjoy the book, I just preferred the movie more.

Granted the author was quite young when he started the series (15) to when the first book got published (18, first self published then republished by an established publisher a couple years later). He’s came out with a new series recently, but I don’t know how much better it is.

And while I’m not saying the books are anything great, they’re still a far cry from the movie imo.

I would never play it myself so I’m not sure how much this counts, but there’s something about Garten of Banban that keeps drawing me back to it whenever a new episode drops. I’m well aware it’s just some shitty bottom of the barrel reaction streamer/theory crafting bait and it’s mostly me wanting to see where the train wreck goes, but I think I’m enjoying it on an ironic level too.

I have an electric kettle and actually go out of my way to get good tea thank you.

I’m a female queer SA survivor if they ever try that bullshit on me lmao.

Male abuse/SA victims. It’s already not taken seriously enough when it happens to women, but when it happens to a guy they get put down even more and told to “man up”, sometimes even by people who’d support them if the sexes were swapped.

An electric kettle for the water and loose tea with a strainer. I’ll usually make it in a mug, occasionally a small teapot, or a thermos if I’m traveling.

What do just Santa and Gangster rappers have in common then?

What horse drug are centrists taking?

Was still thinking of giving it a shot, especially now that I got it for free through PS Plus.

Usually my POV, but sometimes my perspective will swap to other characters in the dream.

As an artist I think it’s a more complicated issue than a lot of people are making it out to be, and all the fearmongering some popular artists are promoting really doesn’t help.

I think it’s fine in moderation and when it’s some manually curated service like the children’s section of streaming platforms (but even then it’s not perfect considering Cocomelon exists), or in the case of YouTube you’re watching it WITH your kid to avoid running into anything weird (though I think any platform meant for content aimed towards children should be 100% manually curated). The problem is when it’s excessive or it winds up sending your five year old down a bizarre rabbithole of pregnant Spiderman twerking videos because you didn’t bother to moderate what they were watching.

I’d rather a hundred of those than some kid with mommy’s iPhone watching brainrotting Youtube Kids videos all day with the sound on. At least then I won’t feel bad for the kid.
