CrossCode

The desert temple and the jungle area are too tedious even if they are as quality as the rest of the game. The story ending in the DLC was ass and didn't resolve some things that needed to imo, mainly:

spoilerSidwell's fate

Rabi-Ribi

I can tolerate the fanservice because I have terminal weeb brainrot since childhood, but I can't recommend the game to anyone else even though it is a great metroidvania with awesome bossfights and music.

ZeroRanger

(endgame spoilers for ZeroRanger and Void Stranger)The save-deleting gamble near the end of the game fits perfectly with the buddhism theme, as it symbolizes surrendering your earthly attachments to achieve enlightenment, however I feel it violates some fundamental game design sanity rule. This might be a me issue honestly, because due to ADHD I get frustrated with repetition easily. Doing it again in Void Stranger was inexcusable though, it didn't enhance the value of the game as art in any way and seemed as something the dev did to be quirky.

Breath of the Wild

It would have been a perfect game I could play forever if it had bigger dungeons and more than 10 enemy types.

I don't really like multiplayer games, but thanks for the offer heart-sickle

I am in one of my "I can't find anything to do even though I have a ton of things to try" phases again. My brain is so fickle sometimes

I might not be able to find more cool stuff due to work, but I truly want to share everything I found with the world somehow. I even dreamt that I talked about ZeroRanger with a coworker and that I agitated to all of my coworkers about communism. I want to express myself without fearing that neurotypicals will find me weird but I don't know how.

I always wondered why my parents had such mid taste as I grew up, but when I found their old records I understood. They weren't always like that, when they were young, they had their favs but work and children changed everything. Now I understand this from experience as well, I don't find as many hidden gem songs, anime, games etc anymore, I just don't have the time and energy and stick to what I know. I also suspect that this is one of the reasons why older people have old beliefs, they just don't have the time to think about things. This effect honestly scares me, I can already feel that I am much more boring than 8 months before, and I don't have the time to follow the news, read theory and essays, and experience some peak media like I did before. I only feel like my old, cooler self on drugs, I hate this

They do want to filter us I think. In one interview I had to take a 30min personality test where the questions were pretty much a neurodivergence filter. The interviewer (also CEO of the company) pretty much grilled me over not being judged as kind or social enough by the test. That was a pretty humiliating interview ngnl

I don't know if its nostalgia or just a natural part of adulting in hellworld, but I feel a weight crushing me everyday and I cannot enjoy things as much as before. It began in earnest once I graduated and unemployment broke me enough to accept any terms for a job (except working in a defense company), then after 8 months of work broke me further I guess. I just want to feel alive again

Yeah she actually told me that if I prove my worth to the company I will be rewarded with the freedom to work as I need, which is

gon-anguish

The company doctor told me to mask in order to fit with my neurotypical group better in the end, so that I will not be ostracized. Also to not read stuff on my phone when done with my work for the day (I am a fast worker) so that others won't judge, and that I should watch some of the company's webinars to relax instead. I hate it here. I only got entangled with her to begin with in order to receive accomodations (which I did for a month or so, until my manager's boss took notice and told me that no exceptions are allowed to RTO)

I feel like I have grown too old for challenging video games (I am 25yo lol). If I can't beat a part in 3-5 tries then it's over for me. Oh well chomsky-yes-honey

How tf do you get good at posting? I have some insightful / funny thoughts from time to time but never when I am near a device. Do you note them down or something?
