I honestly mean no offense when I say this and I hope you don’t take it wrong but you need to be seeing a therapist for your anxiety. This is nothing to be ashamed of and talking to someone trained to handle it will help you overcome it.

I was able to grow out of it but it took me decades to find myself and be comfortable with who I am. If I could go back I would have been on a regular schedule to talk to someone about my insecurities. Who knows the opportunities I lost because I was scared or embarrassed. Many of my regrets are from missed opportunities that in hindsight where caused by my anxiety.

You are not alone.

Discovered Neon Abyss this week. I’m really enjoying it. I needed a break from Elden Ring which I finished last week.

I understand it’s scary. I’ve been there. However you have to understand how toxic it is to live this way. It will be hard but if being who you are means losing your family then maybe it’s time to let them go.

Focus on building yourself up and securing a good job. When you have enough to leave do so. You will feel so much better and you won’t have to walk on eggshells the rest of your life.

You make it sound like there was no reason to move it behind the counter 😂. Pseudoephedrine is a key ingredient in making meth

100% agree. I’ve been in the same cycle of wanting to like the game but the progression is just awful. A lot of cool ideas that only work if you max out the game. Problem is early progression feels so boring and id rather build a shitty house in minecraft than spend an hour flying to different planets looking for a random map that will unlock something or go to a random temple that unlocks a word to partially understand a merchant to unlock the next item.

It’s insane to me that people support companies that do these predatory practices. Even worse that steam allows companies that steal from their customers to be listed.

Work in a warehouse where boxes open all the time and fall out on the floor. This supervisor found a box of spilled pens and used one of them to write something down and they fired him for stealing 😂. I think they were looking for a reason cuz he was kind of uncontrollable.

I might have missed it but I don’t see the Under Pressure album for Logic. Might to get your listens up on that one

Spend time with my kids and play video games while they’re at school

Tell him straight up. Unfortunately the only approach is direct or it will get worse. After you tell him, tell your boss the conversation in case the coworker tries to be petty and report you.

I am a manager at my job and see this type of stuff all the time. Could it be he simply wants to be friendly? Sure. Either way it’s better to be direct so there is zero confusion.

I would tell him, “Look John, you’re a nice guy but I’m not interested in making small talk with you”. And then just continue your work. If he doesn’t leave you alone after that then it’s time to go to HR. Please do not feel bad. Some people lack self awareness at the workplace and don’t know how to act in a professional setting.

Why would your advice be to commit sexual harassment in the work place?

I am not a Democrat. At this point I’m closer to Independent because both parties have gone off the rails over that last decade. However I understand the importance of this election and I understand how our system works. Voting 3rd party does nothing but pull votes from Democrats. It happens EVERY election. I’m sorry to burst your bubble but voting third party doesn’t give you the moral high ground. It just makes you an idiot because not only will your candidate not be elected but more often than not you enable Republicans to win elections based on how our voting system works.

I would say you have to be the stupidest person on earth to vote 3rd party but I know that Magidiots exist.

You do nothing but enable genocide by voting 3rd party. A Democrat loss in November GUARANTEES the genocide continues. The Republican Party is the party of Israel and they would bend over backwards to give them whatever is necessary to bring back Jesus Christ

Yes and your vote does absolutely nothing in “pushing” the country left. Who taught you that? Please do better research as the future of your country depends on it.

Do you understand how voting works?

40 hours is abysmal. I’ve spent longer building a house in Minecraft.

Valheim is definitely a must buy. It’s a survival game with crafting and building elements.

That understates the importance of a studio having respect for the customers. Yes being a good game is the most important thing but if ES 6 released tomorrow on the same engine as they’ve been using, there would a community uproar.
