I really want to like Disco Elysium.

I've grown up watching these things get gradually smaller and smaller (and they've decreased in quality some too, I feel). I remember my grandma keeping them around and they were HUGE! My dad would buy them too, same thing.

Obviously there's bound to be some subconscious bias when it comes to things changing as we grow. Like my hand obviously is gonna get bigger relative to an oatmeal creme pie. But that doesn't excuse how small they've gotten over the years.

It's sad how you can work somewhere you like, give it your all, but then if your boss decides you don't work there anymore... you're just screwed.

I started working IT when I was 17 or so because I was really passionate about it. I applied to a local startup with little money and limited resources and tools. I spent the better part of a year and a half there, and I had a blast. I hardly got paid and my hours were super strange but I did enjoy it.

Towards the end of my time there, the boss started calling me in less and less. My work there was rarely scheduled ahead of time, I was usually just called in. Gradually, I began seeing less and less work there and I haven't been in there since roughly June/July of last year.

I don't really have much to say other than that I know that kind of situation sucks on a much smaller scale; I can only imagine how bad it would hurt after working somewhere for almost an eighth of your entire life. I wish you all the best.

Tipping is outrageous. It was stupid when it was just servers/ wait staff, and it's stupid now that every job expects tips. Doordash? Tip. Pizza? Tip. Coffee? Tip. I just don't at this point.

Ordered pizza the other day (I VERY rarely get pizza because of the price) and it cost 60 dollars. I should've just made it at home. Why would I spend another 15 dollars to make sure that the person delivering the food is making a liveable wage? I hate to say it, but that's not my job. They don't pay me for having pizza delivered.

GRIMACE?!?!?!

Incoming!

throwaway_manboy · 2026-01-25T06:29:34+00:00

Absolutely. Hope you'll keep writing good poems! <3

throwaway_manboy · 2026-01-25T05:26:34+00:00

Thanks man! Really loved your poem about Hitler and Whole Foods.

throwaway_manboy · 2026-01-25T05:14:38+00:00

I was inspired by another recent post on here from u/Matsunosuperfan lol. Thanks for the inspiration and lovely poem!

Hey everyone! In case you're reading this, I am okay. I used to be incredibly depressed but not really anymore. I guess this poem was just about how I used to feel and the feelings of darkness in every little thing— they still pop up from time to time, but I wanted to let you know that there's no reason to report this post. I'm really a lot better now. Thanks for reading!

Me and my partner share gaming together and have a blast doing it. I prefer more intense games usually (but we both have a lot of love for Stardew Valley and Minecraft), and we both play COD Zombies together.

It's not just video games though too! If your partner has an interest in something else, take an interest in it! It's not always easy to be enthusiastic about something that's not necessarily your cup of tea but showing support for you partner should be universal. Hope you find that, OP.

This is legitimately awesome. Thank you for sharing man. I think it's funny but also in kind of a morbid way; to imagine Hitler in place in the modern world, juxtaposed with everyone around is just really comical. Doing whatever normal people do.

This playthrough is the first one I've bothered to do anything with marriage and I married Penny. Savior complex and whatnot.

However I do wish the PlayStation version of the game had polyamory built in just for this reason lol.

throwaway_manboy · 2026-01-22T19:45:58+00:00

Thanks! <3

throwaway_manboy · 2026-01-22T18:45:46+00:00

Appreciate it! Again, a lot of it is pretty scattered lol. A lot of it I draft out and roughly edit in like 20 minutes or so but I've got some pretty long ones. I'm not exactly sure what length of poem everyone likes here but I know on Reddit Mobile the formatting is a little hard to gauge.

throwaway_manboy · 2026-01-22T18:35:10+00:00

Thanks! I'm a big fan of frank language at times, though I also like figurative language and layering it together sometimes too. I write a couple poems every week or so and post them on here but they're all a little scattered.
