  • Right??

    Early Gen Z / very tail end of millennial here.

    Got a job that pays ~80k (with promotion potential to 100k in a year) and I’m just… dumbfounded at how yall are making it. I didn’t grow up wealthy at all, and struggled with homelessness for a time, so I’m not new to the frugal game, but being able to put away only a hundred or two bucks a month after taxes is crazy with the hours and time I put into existing. I’d rather just not work at all if the end result is the same.

    Doordash is a crux in my life and something I’ve definitely splurged on in the past, but groceries are just as expensive outside of rice beans and chicken. Baffling. :(


  • Right?

    Bethesda just released an expansion for fallout 76. It’s a game that I’m fairly fond of, considering the amount of dislike I have for fallout 4, it improved on it in every way from the worldbuilding to building to the story, I could go on, point is, I like it.

    The new expansion, the first map expansion and like 20 major updates in.

    The new map is quite a large region. You’d expect a few side quests to unlock these other locations. Maybe some hidden gems. Maybe some cool NPCs outside of the main “expansion” right?

    Its literally: A main quest that’s short (beat it in like 3 hours on the first day it dropped)

    A single side quest that’s more of an optional objective on the main quest

    A single new event

    A single new boss.

    Four things they added. Two of which can only be done once (bad formula for a game designed around repeating similar tasks)

    They’ve just straight up gotten bad. There’s no love in their products anymore. It’s all taking the easiest way out, lacking any amount of real creativity.

    I just want them to migrate from their shitty proprietary engine, buckle down on a good story and prioritizing fun.

    Since we’ve spent the past 60 years talking about how horrific communism and extreme left is, even fighting multiple wars over it, we don’t really have a presence of far leftism.

    I feel like it’s cyclical at this point. We hate the far left so much that people become fascist. A fascist dictator rises. Everyone realizes how this was a bad idea, and we equalize. Generations forget, and we progressively move right again til another fascist dictator comes in.

    So no, there is no political power in America with true far left views, and our boomer gov would do anything to keep it that way.





  • Outer Worlds. Specifically when you have the conversation with Parvati in the bar about asexuality.

    As someone who’s generally not been sexually attracted to anyone but is masculine, I felt a connection in the dialogue that I’ve never really felt from any media before, ever.

    “I’ve tripped up folks in the past. Folks I thought cared about me for me. People said I was Cold.”

    Man I’ve never felt representation like that. Sex to me is so strange and often gives me a disgusting vibe, though I won’t deny it to my partner, its just not in my DNA I guess.

    Anyways. Never finished that game. After that conversation, I lost most interest in any other dialogue in the game. Might go back at some point, but not yet.
