My girlfriend had this issue. They offered her a free battery replacement, a free $100 bucks on the Google store, or another 3rd option I can’t remember. We ended up taking the Google store options despite my feeling that they were sunsetting her phone just because it was old, and she picked up an 8A for 200 bucks less after everything.

Still really bothered by the whole incident. She was really stressed by the whole thing because she needs her phone for work and isn’t techy enough to not expect a phone to just…work. I would really like to know the reason for the incident.

For me, I think the difference is that I have the means and opportunity to reduce (an incredibly minor amount, I know) the suffering of animals everywhere by not eating meat, so I feel somewhat an obligation to do so.

Whereas a cat does not have the knowledge or information or desire to make that sort of decision making. So I love them anyway…I just don’t let them outside so they can’t murder every living thing nearby for fun.

To each his own, that’s just my personal impetus to be meat free.

Thank you so much! Very interesting to see their reactions as well. Really interesting to see the damage control since it can say a lot about their stance

If anyone does have a link send it to me too…it really is being covered up aggressively. Makes me want to drop them more tbh.

Goddamn that’s a good choice.

I can get that. I do get claustrophobic IRL but luckily it doesn’t really equate to games, unlike my thalassophobia. I was just happy it was sand and not water

I can handle everything but dark bramble, giants deep and just…anything with open space. I did almost everything on the sand twins tho! That wasn’t too bad at all.

Yep. As far as I know there isn’t even anything dangerous on it but it’s such nightmare energy for me that I will literally run out of the room like a child.

Also, I found that space feels eerily like underwater for me mentally. Fucking terrifying

Outer Wilds and subnautica still trigger all my phobias so effectively. It’s terrifying

I agree. The thing that keeps me going is the idea of finding community again.

Not sure how many people in this thread are American, but we have a very independent point of view. The “optimal” way of living is leaving your parents, leaving your home, and building a new home somewhere else. We tend to be more independent overall and less likely to look to others for comfort, to our detriment. At least, that has been my experience.

So I think the best thing to do is go out there, find a community that DOES care. Because they DO exist. Look for hobby classes, look for new friends in your interests, look for a church (if that is your thing. I am UU so the people at those churches are often some of the nicest, most leftist people around).

I’m moving soon, and I think the thing that keeps me going is the idea of finding new community after I move. You can also affect meaningful change as a community when you can’t do it alone.

Another point for Nioh 2. Still the single best souls-like for pure gameplay if you give it the chance.

I agree with the guy that said Outer Wilds, even though I can’t finish it because of my thalassophobia.

Personally, the two games that had a really profound effect on me are Disco Elysium and Hi-Fi Rush.

Disco is an incredible political game that really is damn powerful. It’s definitely not for people who just want action.

Hi-Fi Rush is a rhythm action game so I wouldn’t recommend it to people who hate rhythm games or people who hate action. But it’s so fun, so charming and really uplifting.

Hah! What an idiot.

Outdoor cats decimate bird populations. Letting your cat out is terrible for your local ecosystem. Seeing this stuff really frustrates me.

Oh true. My bad, was thinking in context of old shows and forgot the topic.

For my kids cartoon, would probably be Static Shock. The animation is way tougher than I remember, but it was still really fun!

I’ve been watching Hercules: The Legendary journeys from the 90s, and I watched them a ton as a kid, too. Love most episodes still even tho Kevin Sorbo is now a shitmonkey. They honestly had really positive messages, and it’s just campy enough for the costumes and ancient animation to still be fun.

Yeah there are artistic scenes in samurai Jack that wow me even all this time later. Great show.

It definitely got better, but can still be buggy. You can also pretty much guarantee there will be some bigass bugs when the new DLC comes out, it’s the Owlcat way.

I’d say the actual quality doesn’t take a nosedive anymore, the game is pretty consistently fun from start to finish. The beginning definitely has more going on though.

Vermintide is a lot of fun. The total war Warhammer games are pretty good.

My personal favorite (as an RPG fan) is Rogue Trader (40k) by Owlcat Games. Game is superbly written and the combat and world is pretty fun too. If you hate CRPGs, stay away though. This game really showed me the secret sauce Warhammer 40k has going for it.

I’m excited as hell for space marine 2. We’ll see how that goes.

If you like ARPGs, I remember enjoying Untold Legends a lot as a kid. Was a PSP launch title, and had a very dark themeing. I don’t know if my kid memory can be trusted on the quality but I’ve seen a few other people recommend it on here so I doubt it’s bad.
