  • Hahaha. It is pretty appropriate to see such a shift in genre, isn’t it? I think most of my hours on the Switch are definitely Mario games and Animal Crossing. And not just because of my kid. Lol. (Although I say that while she’s next to me playing AC. Haha.)

    I’ve been playing FO76 since launch, and I’ve actually always found it enjoyable. But it’s definitely a much improved and in ways a very different game than launch. I highly recommend it to anyone, especially if you’ve liked fallout games in the past. It’s perfectly fine to play solo, which is pretty much how I played it for like the first year. But the events and other multi-player aspects are pretty fun, too. The first time I triggered a server wide event, I didn’t even realize what I had done until suddenly there were a dozen players around me fighting waves and waves of enemies. It was chaos and so much fun. Also, the world is quite beautiful and there’s something so peaceful about just walking around listening to Appalachia Radio. Give it a shot!


  • I’ve spent most of my little free time lately doing the daily challenges on Fallout 76. But I recently finally fired up Wolfenstein New Order that I bought like 4 years ago. Lol. I’m really enjoying it. After that, I might finally start Elden Ring which I got for Christmas.

    Edit: lol. Just noticed this was the Nintendo lemmy. Thought it was general gaming. For Nintendo, my kid was just saying she wanted to play Bowser’s Fury again and maybe some Animal Crossing. ☺ I do find AC very relaxing so I might have to lay on the couch with that one soon. Or if I don’t feel like relaxing, I’ll fire up Hades again. Lol



  • I’ve had this same crisis for the last few years. I mean, any time I’ve thought of death in my life, it would give me that dread and sadness for a few days, but ultimately it would pass and I’d continue living in blissful ignorance. However, in the last few years – mostly since my first kid was born – it’s been this lingering sadness that I can’t escape. Life just seems so pointless. If there’s nothing after death, no purpose, no reason for existence, then why does anything matter at all? As you say, one day we’ll all cease to exist and if there are other beings, they will never know we were here – and even if they find traces of us, does it even matter? We’re gone and our reason for existing is to just live and die and be done. That’s infuriating to me.

    And so far, all the things people have said to me to try to help means nothing to me. “When you die, you won’t care, because you’ll be dead.” Yeah, exactly. But I’m alive now and that fucking sucks knowing that I’ll just drift into nothingness. “You cause ripples in your life, like a lake, and you will live on through that, through your kids, your friends, etc…” Cool. But one day, they’ll all be dead, too. And even ripples in a lake eventually dissipate. “Yes, we’ll eventually all go, but that’s why life is so special! The fact that you exist is so extremely unlikely. It’s a gift.” Yes, I will try to enjoy life and make the most of my team because if I have to be here, I don’t want to make myself and others around me miserable, but it still won’t matter in the end how good of a life I lead because eventually it will all end.

    Lately I’ve been saying, I’ve given up on life, but not in a suicidal way. I’ve just sort of accepted that it’s all pointless, and that makes that sadness just linger. So I’ll just go along, trying to enjoy life, with the cloud of death looming on the horizon.
