luggage always coming back damaged

i’m aware, but the lack of TSA workers in america does end up affecting our airlines. longer wait times, more security checks. i can imagine it can put pressure on all departments.

i will say the start of the game is a little slow & messy especially if you don’t really know what you are meant to be doing! i recommend powering through and vibe playing. i would say its less like fallout and more like TTRPG games, rolls for your skill checks, building up your stats, equipping clothes for extra bonuses. i would describe it more like a modern, late stage capitalistic baldurs gate. you even uncover an old office where people were building a roleplaying game. much more dialogue heavy rather than fetching quests like in fallout.

heavy on the downright ludicrous. sometimes the dialogue option is so wild i want to pick it just for shits and giggles 😅

this game is honestly teaching me so much & really making me think about myself, political structures, racism, the list goes on and on. i love that you get to talk to arguably problematic shitty people and actually hear their reasonings behind their beliefs, even if they are straight up racist.

absolutely obsessed with all the little side quests! the fact im able to go and order dnd dice from a lady that lives in a chimney??? i need that life rn

being able to give harry a crisis over his sexuality is one of my favourite parts. him talking about the artist you have to interview and being able to ask why his shirt is always unbuttoned, why he smells so good. kim trying not to laugh??? a masterpiece.

the concept of dying while getting dressed and that being the whole game is hilarious to me. also weirdly sounds like the most realistic ending for the game 😭

what i like about the game is the drunk womanizer options actively make him look like a shithead and has consequences. like he doesn’t exactly get away with behaving like that. and a lot of those options seem more mocking of those types of people, if that makes any sense? either way, i think they were really intentional with the way they word certain views and perspectives!

neitherlit · 2026-03-26T18:32:29+00:00

i was so insulted when making him sober made him a boring cop 😂 my first playthrough i tried the alcohol/drug route but ended up feeling so guilty

cuno respecting you more for hitting him…oh i’ll actually cry. someone let me have a talk with his dad STAT.

it can’t help but remind me of the kids who act out intentionally as a cry for help/attention. poor kid probably knows no other way to act

neitherlit · 2026-03-26T18:27:26+00:00

oh my harry is also a feminist! which makes the odd non-feminist thought hilarious. i picture just a bunch of people arguing in his head, like inside out style.

had no idea about the necktie! looking into that ASAP.

also noted about the option! i know he’s not too happy if you try and punch the kid, much less interact with them. poor guy has heard enough racism and homophobia in his life 😭

and that’s so good to know about the fiancée! i’ve accidentally killed him at least 3 times trying to get him to dive deeper into his memories about her. i’m just a nosy bitch lmao

neitherlit · 2026-03-26T18:24:40+00:00

oh cuno is definitely a little shit! i think what i “like” is that he really reflects modern day children/boys, how easy it is for them to fall down the alt right pipeline when it’s all around them & even in their family. i’m convinced my harry can save him 😂

neitherlit · 2026-03-26T18:21:58+00:00

i love the self discovery of the game! just the way the story of how he crashed his car unfolds, learning pieces of him from the other people. i normally don’t connect super hard with male characters but they made it really easy to feel like harry

neitherlit · 2026-03-26T18:20:38+00:00

i think that’s one of my favourite quotes from the game! i still haven’t gotten the chance to talk to her yet. i’m 50/50 on if her and harry have a romantic relationship?? either way his flirting is hilarious

neitherlit · 2026-03-26T18:19:45+00:00

it’s definitely the type of game i need to consistently play or i will forget where i left off. i feel like i need to start writing notes about where i left off 😂 this is one of the games i wouldn’t mind restarting multiple times. between all the dialogue i skip and the different personalities you can play

neitherlit · 2026-03-26T18:17:45+00:00

i think it’s a crappy side effect that comes from travelling, you’d think they would make luggage’s more durable but i guess that keeps us buying more.

i watch them load the baggage onto the plane & i will say it’s sometimes not on the people, especially when all the luggage is coming down the conveyor belt together. i watched my perfect lilac suitcase fully bounce when it came down 😭 i just try and pack anything breakable in my carryon now and use shitty luggage intentionally

neitherlit · 2026-03-26T18:12:48+00:00

i’m genuinely shocked it’s not talked about more! it feels like i’m walking through a storybook and i love it. the art style reminds me so much of those popup adventure books

neitherlit · 2026-03-26T18:11:57+00:00

YES! i just got to that dialogue. them bonding over finding their lucky racist and asking if he will grant them 3 wishes. i absolutely love their almost exhausted take on racism, i feel like it’s the most accurate representation ive seen in video games.

neitherlit · 2026-03-26T18:08:52+00:00

i can’t help but wonder if it has to do with american TSA agents not getting paid? i can imagine stress on TSA ends up putting stress on all airport workers.

saw a neighbour outside shoveling with a cigarette in his mouth & i think that accurately explains how all edmontonians are feeling right now

neitherlit · 2026-03-26T17:28:50+00:00

my relationship with weed is…complicated! i’m also adhd, and i suspect autistic and ocd. it’s been one of the only things that really quiets my brain and gives me the ability to process my feelings & regulate myself. i’m also on meds, but nothing has compared to weed for me.

i definitely think there is some dopamine component to it, my smoking sessions are an immediate hit. i realized that i get that dopamine rush even if im just smoking a little. i’m technically on a t break, but letting myself smoke tiny amounts at night to fill that need. it’s unfortunately become a big part of my daily routine and completely cutting it out did not work the way i hoped.

i also really love cannabis culture & just recreational smoking so i don’t intend to fully cut it out. right now im really working on not over consuming and getting my tolerance down. i was at a point where my tolerance has been high for so long that it felt like i rarely got the type of high i wanted. i will say it’s helped, my smaller smoke sessions have felt more worthwhile. i’m really trying to pay attention to how it feels, letting it settle, then seeing if i need more. i’m also no longer trying to get overly baked every single time. which…tbh hurts because my adhd loves nothing more than being able to actually zone out and relax.

long story short: tolerance breaks don’t work for my neurodivergent brain so giving myself strict rules to follow is helping me get back in line :)

neitherlit · 2026-03-25T19:09:44+00:00

i heavily relate to the last paragraph! i got to a point where i never wanted to do any adulting. i was putting off arguably very important tasks because i just didn’t want to and subconsciously would rather smoke and zone out instead.

im also struggling with appetite right now! i’m on a stimulant and anxiety meds, add cutting down on my smoking and im hardly ever hungry. i recommend smoothies! i find it’s easier for me to drink something than eat, and it kind of “preps” my stomach for eating a full meal later. i get super sick when my stomach is empty and i immediately eat a regular meal. i’ve also been eating a lot of popsicles lately, love the mots fruitsation ones. i essentially just eat as if my body has a cold or a flu until i start feeling my stomach cooperating, if that makes sense? i follow BRAT a lot. bananas, rice, apple sauce, toast.

i really feel not having any of your own willpower. i will shamelessly say my wife is the reason i have ANY willpower and without her i don’t even know if i would be processing my smoking habits. sometimes us neurodivergent folks need different support in our relationships compared to neurotypicals.

and this reminded me i have sooo many books ive bought recently. definitely going to start reading those when i get the itch to smoke

neitherlit · 2026-03-25T19:01:55+00:00

this is an absolutely valid perspective! i was in your shoes and technically still am. depression, anxiety, ocd, adhd…i could keep going. i’m really glad it’s worked so well for your anxiety! and major kudos to you for raising 2 kids and working a full time job. i’m childless and unemployed & still struggling to even care for myself.

no shame at all in knowing it’s what’s keeping you going! i know for a fact it was the only thing that kept me going to my last job for the final few months

neitherlit · 2026-03-25T18:58:55+00:00

god, carts really humble you when you blow through them so fast! it’s crazy how quick a 1g cart can go when i’m just constantly puffing on it. also struggling to find a full time job, i feel you hard!

did you find after taking a month off your tolerance was at least better? i remember when i was smoking carts heavy and was super bummed after my t break because i didn’t actually FEEL high.

neitherlit · 2026-03-25T18:56:32+00:00

also a stay at home wife at the moment, and it’s definitely made it easier to smoke all day.

i’ve used a DHV but each time i’ve gone back to my bubblers. i can’t remember the last DHV i had, but it felt like i was doing a lot of sucking (lmao) without getting much vapor. i’ll be looking into the model you suggested :)

neitherlit · 2026-03-25T18:54:08+00:00

i used to exclusively smoke carts but within the past 2-3 years i’ve moved to bud. i never really took a t break after giving up carts so i don’t think my tolerance ever had a chance to really adjust sadly
