It’s rule 3, but you are otherwise correct. I reported it and encourage others to do the same.

I don’t think there’s been a turn based game that has sold as well as BG3 in a long time. They’re just chasing trends. Something like XCOM is a better comparison in terms of gameplay and style, but doesn’t have the sales that BG3 has.

I knew that the success of BG3 would have an impact on the industry, it was only a matter of time. This sounds fun.

I guess I didn’t know that. Yikes. I’m glad I don’t eat many canned goods.

Fittingly enough, that was the first of his novels I read and will likely be the first one I reread.

Oh! Interesting. Eating cold soup out of the can sure is a vibe. Way to be yourself!

Don’t eat from the can. The inside of the can is lined with plastic, so if you heat the can itself the plastic will leach into your food.

I plan to reread all Clive Barker novels a second time, at some point in my life. His prose is just so unique and has an effortless beauty about it that I’ve yet to find in another author.

Plot can only really draw you in once… when you already know what happens in a story it doesn’t have the same pull it had the first time. But prose has a lasting appeal, one that can be revisited. The indescribable quality of the way that words can make you feel is unique to the relationship between reader and writer.

I don’t. At least not anymore. I used to have a 40 hour, Monday through Friday job, but I had to find something else or I would’ve ended up having a breakdown. I’m autistic, and my life has been a series of periods of trying to be the person society wants me to be, failing, and then spending several years burnt out and unable to function before repeating the whole process. If I hadn’t been able to live with one of my parents during those burnout periods I would’ve likely ended up homeless.

I’ve found that I simply cannot work 5 days a week. Even 40 hours over 4 work days will eventually burn me out. So I found a job that offers 12 hour shifts, and I work weekends. I pick up one or two shifts during the work week when they’re available. I average 32 hours a week.

It’s unarmed security, and it works for me, even though it doesn’t pay well. I’ve just accepted that I will be poor, and my life is much better this way. Capitalism has brainwashed us into believing that money is more valuable than time, and there’s something wrong with you if you can’t match what is expected of you.
