And classical Stoicism. (Not the “don’t talk much” kind, but the roman philosopher kind.)

Do not play Deep Rock Galactic.

Yep. Even if it’s larger, I’ll post in a smaller, non-ml. I don’t mind reading their stuff and them existing but with the seemingly random moderation shenanigans, I avoid it.

Note: this is not about modding games to have muscle mommies or !fitmoe@lemmy.world characters.

USA. Been working 20 years. Every job has been 8 to 5, unpaid 1h lunch, 2x15min paid breaks. :(

In reverse, I’d never throw a party like that because my anxiety is exactly afraid it’ll turn out like you said.

I’m enjoying it so far. Only played a couple of missions but it’s back to being fun.

Nah, no offense taken, just clarification. You’re good.
