Brilliant, thank you x

I would also like to point out just how LONG it's been a Tory government. Even though Torylite Blair gave the UK a "break", it has been the Tories specifically eroding any welfare the country has had over a long period of time.

Ok, worth thinking about, so thank you for doing that. I've just seen cases where Europeans miss out due to rules like this.

I don't post gaming memes myself so it won't directly affect me, but how do you count a "Monday" if taking other timezones/countries into consideration? Just curious.

I fucking love those games to death, Thief was so fucking dark and gritty when it first came out and I was so scared when the guards walked past me as I was hiding in the shadows after water arrowing a torch, lol.

And Deus Ex I with it's multiple storylines, choice making and takes on philosophy was mind blowing.

However, they're easy to cheese by modern standards which might be to their detriment when it comes to new players. You can easily blackjack your way through Thief I.

Thief III: Deadly Shadows probably holds up the best gameplay wise, though Thief II has the best storyline imo.

Deus Ex I also has some very unfortunate voice acting choices (incl. white people putting on Asian sounding accents), which I, in the 90s, was ignorant about, but now as an adult it's a cringy struggle to listen to, tbh.

How about wefwef.app then?

As just a regular weight loss person, I'd agree with this. The most important thing is to get to a healthy and sustainable level for you first, be able to maintain it for at year, then go for broke with the rest. Otherwise, it's too easy to break your healthy eating habits.

I agree with this take, but would add in the question: how experienced are your players?

Not because it will take away from the complexity, but it might add to the duration of explaining rules, setup etc.

Saaaame. I've made up so many lyrics for my cats and about my spouse's butt, lol.

Ever since that one post that some might remember, I cheer myself up by going "nyyyyowwwn" like a race car when I pass corners (walking) if I'm having a bad day.

I would recommend wefwef.app while you wait, my friend :)

So, in retrospect you cherished what you had and realised you were better off for having had them in the first place?

How are you doing now my friend?

Hi everyone, first post on here. This will be a bit of a ramble, sorry in advance.

I'm dealing with some inner turmoil, as do most people. As I age it gets worse and I know I'm not alone in this, but I don't have anybody in my inner circle who understands, while they might be sympathetic.

I struggle with feeling like I'm my authentic self. I feel like I'm in the wrong body and have been all my life. I don't hate it though, I just deal with it, mostly through just ignoring its existence and accepting that it at least lets me do things. I'm quite capable. But I also just don't feel... right. When I look at myself in the mirror, I feel nothing. I used to hate it, now I just feel apathy.

I dress like the gender people perceive me as, to make life easier for myself. At work, we use uniforms, which some days helps and others make it worse.

I worry about expressing myself both in terms of dialogue and clothing options as I live in Tory country and my spouse and other dear queer friends have dealt with emotional and physical abuse for not "toeing the line". My partner expresses themselves so minimally, yet sooo flamboyantly if you ask the general public?

In our local community, we get "away" with more as we are part of the artist and musician community, but why should that have to matter?

It's fucked up.

I struggle with mental health issues and have my entire life. I usually tell myself that's what's causing the incongruity, or discrepancy, between what society perceives me as and what I perceive me as. I'm not sure that's true anymore... But I'm scared. Part of me likes hiding. Part of me is tired of not sticking up for myself more.

Mostly I'm just tired.
