I've been waiting for years. Before RDR2 came out. But you're absolutely right. Waiting for a couple months and I'm confident we'll see a real sale. The whole reissue/not remaster game is not playing out the way they'd hoped. Remember the GTA Master collection or whatever the hell they call it?

I'm a vegetarian, so I'm...whatever. But I see no real difference between cow/horse. I saw the six downvotes and was, if I'm honest, hoping for a little drama in the comments. But it's not here. It seems like kbin/lemmy may have plateaued re user growth, at least for the time being. And I've been a bit bummed about it, generally. But this was a pleasant surprise.

Mine is The Great and Boltgun. Not an outrageous combination.

I played it on my PS5 and really enjoyed it. (To be fair I didn't pay for it) I've tried previous games and bounced off of them. But this one stuck. If it turns out to run okay. It may be worth it if you're interested.

It really is a charming game. I think this article does a good job describing some of is delights. What really struck me though is that the main mechanics are things that you'd find in a leechy freemium mobile game. But they're layered in complimentary loops that make the whole FAR more than the sum of it's parts.

I think you're right: a wiki is probably the best place/format for this type of information. I think this post is more interested in the preservation of information than it's formating. In that regard I think the most simple way to get the most copies produced is probably the best.

I know it's not easy, but something that has helped me in a similar but not identical situation is to refuse to think about work outside of work. I was up last night worrying about work. So I know it's not a perfect strategy, but trying to lock your mind against it is helpful. Or has been to me. I try the "yes, this is a 'problem' but not a problem for right now. I deserve to only have to try and figure it out on the clock."

My subsidiary strategy is to try and have a fun mental game to play with myself. I'm a Star Wars guy so I try: If x was different how would Episode Y play out. Or what would my ideal zombie videogame look like. Essentially something that is "unimportant," that I like, that has a lot of factors to consider. #1 to enjoy thinking about, and #2 that is complex enough and detailed enough to supply me with an "endless" well of stuff to prevent the scaries from sneaking in.

I agree on the names, but I'm really missing that kind of content. The ________porn communities from Reddit were a treasure trove of stuff.

Agreed. But I wouldn't say it's overstated; it's misleading. It's largely a quote from the judge, who may be an idiot, but they said what they said. "Trump-appointed judge rules that Biden Administration went too Far in Preventing Medical Misinformation," is wonky but more accurate.
