got to do a hard cut off of the internet, it's fucking with your dopamine levels and shit.

get on a good sleep cycle, go to the doctor (if you have coverage) for depression & lock yourself hard into a hobby. It can be cooking, gardening, walking around outside for a few miles per day, just make sure it's out of your apartment.

That's what has helped me. Also reaching out to friends/family and joining in their hobbies and activities can be fun.

Breath through the Tube

what did Joker do that was reactionary? What he did would have been adventurism if he had any political intent, but instead it was just him killing shitheads. He killed a bunch of chuds who deserved it and instigated a class riot. What's the major rightwing thing he did?

PRC used to have cool foreign policy. They used to kill Americans in Korea. Now they are so integrated into the global capitalism system they are frozen and unable to act

Yea those widespread attacks have met no resistance whatsoever except in Kiev. Reports are that Russian drones and missiles elsewhere are completely unhindered

Signal is CIA

The police didn’t even have to do anything. Protesters did it to themselves. Interesting to see a domestic Palestinian Authority comprador faction

who would have thought that locking yourself in a room and only interacting with NPCs designed to serve you and be your sex objects would result in a disconnect from the rest of humanity

There’s a qualitative difference between an able bodied person who just isn’t very bright or doesn’t put a lot of thought into things VS. a person with a mental disability. Idiot, stupid, dumb, etc. in the modern context are used to describe the former, while the r-word is used to describe the latter

think there's an untapped market for good turn based strategy games

BG3 proved this. Turn-based strategic combat is not a dealbreaker.

skill issue

Great game. Less of an RTS though, more of a city builder/colony management game. I'd put it in the category of Timberborn, Rimworld, Dwarf Fortress, etc. although it does have shorter, more challenging games.

I also like how it's pretty unique in the genre for not being a thinly veiled colonization simulator, as canonically in universe a massive storm wipes out every structure and living thing every cycle that isn't inside the main tower. So you actually are starting from scratch with no people there, not "nobody lives here do not mind the raids by the savages" you get out of Dwarf Fortress, Rimworld, etc.
