The same thing happened here in Alberta, the brief interlude of a centrist government a few years back, made it so farm hands had to be covered by basic safety codes all other workers are allowed and they freaked out and threw a hissy fit. They even got an exemption so their family farm hands would remain exempt from basic safety protections.

Oh and the starting inspecting the housing offered for the farm hands and told them no you cannot shove 16 workers into a tiny work shed, with threats of deporting then if they talk.

Work has completely drained me the past few weeks so I'm lucky if I have the energy to put like thirty minutes into ZZZ.

Then I usually zone out and try to watch a let's play of the nonary games (virtues last reward currently) and fall asleep about twenty minutes in and have to spend ten minutes finding what I remember before I passed out.

I'm trying to finish dragons dogma 2, basically still enjoying randomly wandering and leveling and killing monsters and such.

I'm trying to start persona 5 since I got it for free ages ago and I'd like to play through one of them.

I did manage to to finally finish tears of the kingdom after like 400 hours. Pretty good final boss and such. The ending was typical Zelda shit but it is expected.

I wish I wasn't falling asleep by like 7pm but I just can't seem to maintain my energy past that point anymore.

Thank you for the kind words. I always feel imposter syndrome and rarely feel like anyone except my partner ever says they value me so it's real hard to get up and get to work day after day.

My ex had something going on, I tried to respect them as much as possible and was always supportive to help them get jobs or even just the effort of applying for jobs. Possibly ADHD, anxiety issues as well, they switched meds a few times when were together. We also ended up having completely opposite sex drives which soured things pretty badly, they also were really against masturbation which was very stressful for me. Although possibly I just wasn't paying enough attention to their needs and desires, I feel like I could have tried harder but work and everything and well maybe I could have been better?

I know they spent days sitting in bed feeling bad about not helping out, but eventually it becomes hard to feel sorry when I'm completely burned out from work. I once heard that we all have batteries and eventually they drain and yea at a certain point I did find it very hard not to be bitter at them being at home so much and able to play games watch streams and movies and tv shows.

We split up when they were in a decent place, they had been working consistently for about a year by that point and they had initiated talks that they no longer cared for me and thought of me more as a roommate or friend. And then I tried to make it work, tried to get a better job (that was what caused me to try looking into teaching English before covid put that whole thing on the backburner for 2 years). I hope they're doing well. They had a good job the last time we spoke.

Hey thanks for reading through my post. Appreciated it.

I watched Vinny from nextlander play through it and it's really a great game.

The next patch is coming any day now!

I tell myself this every day for the last month because I want to see what comes next so badly.

Sunbreak is extremely good, the ability to have two switch skill loadouts and switch between then in a second is game changing for some weapons. I don't play long sword so I can't comment on what it does for that weapon though.

The new monsters are super fun fight and it requires you to eventually get very good at knowing your op counter bullshit to win the final monsters they added a year after release. Maybe some people don't like that but I had a blast with dual blades.

Replaying on ps5 now trying to learn charge blade.

Don't worry that game is never coming out.

Looks real good but I've got lots to do in stardew still, and this isn't at 1.0 yet so I'll wait until then to get it.

If I ever become that prepared for cooking I'll have to give that a try. Haha sounds good though

There was lots of Atari/intellivision games my dad and uncles had when I was little. But first first? Probably like Combat though, I have several memories of playing at my great uncles house using the weirdest controller ever built, it had like little picture slides you put in that showed what buttons did what for the game.

I think you'd need a magnet strong enough to fuck up a kindle screen which I don't know if you can find those. Honestly you could just pop them off with a screw driver and take them. Or take the battery out and leave the shell the battery is the expensive part.

I can only manage it with a talk over stream. So I used Remap (Patrick klepak and Rob Zacny and Cado) to get a slight leftist dunk on the whole proceedings.

I was thoroughly unimpressed barring seeing new titles from a few indie devs I've liked and the reveal for monster hunter 6.

The awards are farce (although this year mostly good titles were nominated, but in such a stacked year any of the nominated games could be seen as acceptable winners) given barely half a minute to say thanks, while Kojima is given 5 minutes to say he's working on a game. And it feels like a security guard told all the winners that they would have their legs broken if anyone mentions the real world, no mention of either the mass layoffs within game development or the Palestine situation. Because Geoff is a coward who wants to get paid and is afraid of offending anyone especially his friends at the big publishers and advertisers.

The reveals are mostly garbage slop. the indie stuff is fine because they just announce a game quickly and show some gameplay and move on. But AAA bullshit is just big long reveals with no gameplay and you just wonder what the game is, until Geoff says "wow what a game, I saw it a few months ago and let me tell you to keep your eye on that title!"

Basically avoid the show at all costs unless you have streamers you enjoy and trust to dunk on the shitty show.
