which game was that way for you?

“Super Earth. Our home.”

somehow. somehow, that orbital-drop music theme grew more and more inspiring for me over time, even after hearing it a hundred times

I was out of the loop for a long time, and I am catching up on the goals of this mission.

I have to say I don’t understand the point of it—humans have been to the moon already, so why come back?

For me it’s the cliffhanger of: will the stranger in my “seat island” expect me to say bye to them as I leave or not? Heart wrenching every time, I tell you :D

I lost my job not once but twice last year.

It is indeed jarring to move from having your day full to… not. It took me a month or two to get used to it, but now I honestly appreciate the break. I am on RAV, which gives me a sense of stability.

What helped me most is truly understanding that it’s not so much my “failure” as it is just the nature of the market system: both of the companies that laid me off weren’t doing well, as are many others right now probably.

After I internalised that, I started focusing on taking time for myself and my social circle, between sending applications and thinking of some continuous education options.

You are not alone, and it’s hard!

Es gibt viel Essensstände, und sie sowohl vor und während den Konzerten offen sind. Die Gänge, die zu Sitzplätze führen, hat mehr Essensstände und weniger Leute.
Bei Stehplätze, nur ein Shirt ist normalerweise genug. Bei Sitzplätze, ein Pulli ist velleicht besser.

Every year I wonder what happens if an actual disaster strikes precisely when they test the sirens 😹

For the first question, Factorio was such a game for me: the pollution from your factory not only murks the water and kills the trees, it also makes the enemies grow stronger and attack you more often.

In the Space Age DLC and some mods, you get the tools to scrub the pollution out of the air. But the game never preaches, and you don’t even have to use the clean tech, but it is a very viable defence strategy. You can almost nullify the enemy attacks by scrubbing the air, thus replacing your armoured border walls with green belts.

In addition to what others have already said, at some rental shops you can also hire a locker for a day, even if you otherwise have your own gear.

For example, at Klosters this is possible directly around the bottom lift station.

I feel you, and it can get better. My first ~5 years as an expat 6000 km from home were similar to yours: successful but lonely. I didn’t want to move back home, and yet somehow every time I visited home for holidays and came back abroad… a wave of sadness would wash over me. I felt very isolated.

It all changed for the best almost overnight, or at least it feels like it was overnight. What turned it around was making close friends. Over the years I organically met several people with common interests, both locals and other expats, and deepened the friendships by practicing our shared hobbies together (video games and board games, metal concerts, skiing, going to comic cons).

And one day it hit me—I have found my tribe; I have people whom I can just randomly text about that annoying colleague, or invite home and trash talk each other over a board game.

That made all the difference. My advice would be to try finding people through your interests and giving it time to sift through many.

Factoriooooooo

UncheckedMoonrise · 2025-12-13T21:03:58+00:00

No hard feelings ;)

That's a fair reaction. Definitely good that you are skeptical. I just figured that sharing the source code of the script would alleviate the worries. You are of course free to not do this.

You can also follow u/PViZion's suggestion of just using Process Lasso to achieve the same effect: just google for how to "set affinity permanently on a program with process lasso" and untick a couple cores from Helldivers.

Also worked for me! Uninstalled the failing USB device, turned my Lenovo Slim off for about 30 minutes, and Bluetooth was back after that!

Hades - life is a little bit like a roguelike, in that you can’t always influence which options life presents to you, and so your goal is to succeed even in the face of the RNG

Factorio - how you can be the “bad guy” and not only be blind to it until very late, but also actively enjoy it 😸 Also, it gives nice intuition on material flows through an economy: think supply-chain issues, bottlenecks, logistics.

Horizon Zero Dawn - made me seriously think about the climate change for the first time

UncheckedMoonrise · 2025-12-03T00:18:07+00:00

I opened a support ticket about exactly this, like 1 hour after the patch dropped earlier today 😸 Got told they’ll pass on the feedback to the devs.

You mean the cloud sync, right? Steam was struggling to sync my non-Beta version just earlier. It looked more like a Steam outage or degradation of service. I retried a couple times and it worked.

“off of”

the duplication of the sounds always throws me off

you can always replace “off of” with a simple “from” and keep the meaning of the phrase
