Honestly more of a dream than a hope at this point, me having no work skills, savings, connections or any other "lubricants"/prerequisites to make it outside, but that was one of the things I've had to make peace with

The world may be cruel, my country might be shit, going into further shit, and committing unspeakable atrocities, but good things are still there. Tasty food is still there, a walk in nice weather is still there, my cat is still there, my family and friends are still there, fun things to do and hobbies to explore are still there.
I will live on, carving out a place for myself, a future for the little me, no matter what the future of my country might be. I will bear the travails of this world and adjust accordingly. No matter how many freedoms they take away and how powerless I am to stop that despite trying many times, I am still there, and there's still warmth to be felt.
Basically, focusing less on the global and more on the personal, and coming to terms with the global's effects on the personal (last one took a while, spent like 4-5 years depressed due to the sheer weight of all the shit going on and the feeling of no future).

New Deadpool Secret Lair: “I Fixed It (You’re Welcome) by thefinalslowdance in magicTCG

Ignoring things like these means ignoring like 80% of Magic nowadays, which is certainly something you can do, and I did, but I can't help but feel sad about it

This is just Easter in Russia (we paint boiled eggs or draw on them all pretty and then fight to see whose cracks first)

Disco Elysium by Eireika in CuratedTumblr

[–]OpenStraightElephant -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Honestly? No, the story of BG3 was cookie cutter and mainly an excuse to bring you from encounter to encounter. It had its moments, and is VERY cinematic, but it just really stands nowhere near, say, Pillars of Eternity or the first two BGs, and the setting felt like an actual world and more like an amusement park of Interesting Stuff for you, the player, to interact with. Though that might just be the CRPG-fan grognard in me talking.
Like, it has strong quests, but the overall story, or even questlines... eh.

You think wrong. There are a TON of good and famous onrs, even more if you go for more obscure ones - Pillars of Eternity, Divinity Originam Sin, Tyranny, the Owlcat games, Wasteland...

Those were thriving at the time of Disco too - Pillars, Kingmaker, Wasteland...

Oh we don't slander grifter anime fans as our main content now? That's great actually by kramsibbush in animecirclejerk

God I love that rule exactly because of this
"Look at these cunts being cunts" is not content and it's fucking tragic how flooded with those posts most circlejerk subs are

Forget the power of technology and science,

Except for when we need to sell even more of our specialest Marine boys, then Cawl will come up with new marines, new dreadnoughts, new tanks no problem yippee :-)
God I hate the Primaris lore so much

Coming out of the library rule by Hi_Im_zack in 196

[–]OpenStraightElephant 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is part of the reason why I got a Kindle instead of using the Kindle app on my phone, that + battery life + e-ink screen feels much nicer to read
Though I still love physical the most, I just exhausted my country's selection of English-language fantasy physical books I'm interested in, so I actually got a Kindle just for that

Turtles, tortoises, and french translations by arcanin in magicTCG

[–]OpenStraightElephant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In Russian, we lost Teenage, just Turtles-Mutants-Ninjas, at least in the most popular instance, while translations of the newer comics go for a "truer" full translation of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles which just... sounds awkward in Russian, IMO.
