We are taking the same approach and every word you said landed with me, matched my experience.
I'll add that this is a VERY different strategy from the approaches taken by both my partner's and my parents.
It's not easy, but I think we're raising better humans than ourselves. On days when it's exhausting and you're burned out and you feel like you can't do it, cling to that.
You're doing great. It's worth it. Keep it up! 💚

Ya know what? I absolutely believe that, no evidence necessary.
Use of Weapons is among my absolute favorite books. What an absolutely incredible journey
I think Chicago is the only other US city that comes close, their transit is fantastic!
This is awesome, thanks!!!
I really love, and really miss, healing in wow raids circa WOTLK through Cata, specifically using healnot and custom keybinds to keep people alive. I don't have time or budget for an MMO in my late 30s, nor do I see that easing up anytime soon.
I think a game where you had to do raid mechanics/puzzles while keeping NPCs alive through healing could be really fun, even without a loot grind. Or a game that dropped you into a multiplayer raid encounter without the crap around it. Either could be great.
"same bro lol"
Do you have proof (or literally any evidence) of their "legitimate beliefs" of Stalin as a good person, or are you extrapolating an opinion you already believe and want to fight about from the use of a single emote? Because it certainly feels like the latter until you provide anything to back up your statement.
I mostly just follow the nextlander crew and Jeff Gerstmann. They aren't much more than podcasts, there's little to no written work produced, and they don't really consider themselves gaming journalists, but that's pretty much what we're left with.
"Influencers" and corporate cash have largely killed games journalism.
But Simba voluntarily went into exile, de facto abdicating the throne to the next heir, which was Scar.
No pretending, Scar had a legitimate claim!
But the prince is a sniveling snot weasel! Now, the Dread Pirate Roberts is a real kick-ass role model
I didn't find him particularly scary in Insomnia, but he was believable and his character had depth which meant a lot more in the context of the film.
Insomnia is still a bit underrated, buried in the larger Nolan canon. It's an incredible and inventive crime drama, but probably (one of?) Nolan's weakest. Which is to say it's broadly only like an 8/10.
"Also what's the ethical structure behind literally enslaving a species of creatures and forcing them to cook our meals and keep our homes?"
"Well Harry you see, they're lesser than us and also they like it that way"

(Harry Potter? Not a great book series, from a not-great philosophical mind.)
"A bad apple spoils the whole barrel" is the phrase, actually
I'm on Matter and I'm loving it! Player of Games and Use of Weapons are my favorites in the series so far but I've loved each of them for their own reasons (with the exception of the short story collection State of the Art, it was fine but the rest of the series is on a different level!)
Cosmetic and "ease of play", the most common recommended purchases are vault space and organization tabs that help give you more space and control over loot management.
I've jumped in this month for the first time and it's wonderful! And absolutely overwhelming. Everything is a system and has a learning curve. Everything.
It's wonderful value at this point! Coming up on a decade of quarterly updates worth of systems, mechanics, and updates. It's fantastic!
Better than poop talk all day imo
