    Hmm… it sounds like the media sources that you use may be exaggerating information. Not to say that there aren’t truly horrible things going on in the world, but I wouldn’t say that it’s bad enough that the world as we know it will end. Frankly, that’s kind of how things have always been. There’s always some existential crisis in every generation. And we’ve never aced a crisis, and we probably never will. But we’ll probably crawl our way past the finish line in a kind of half-assed victory. Not the best outcome, but not the worst either.

    The problem with comparing things to “how things were like in the past” is that we only remember the things worth remembering. This applies to everything - we only remember the good movies but not the bad ones, the good songs but not the bad ones, the good times, etc. Inherently, comparing things to the past will make it seem like society is going downhill. Not because things are worse now, but just because everyone forgot all the trash that were in the past and only remembered the memorable parts.

    Anyways, it also sounds like you may have depression, and it’s causing you to let bad news stew for longer than they should. Might be a strange question, but have you talked to a mental health professional about it?



  • Heaven’s Vault, Hardspace Shipbreaker, and both Subnautica games.

    Heaven’s Vault is a puzzle game where you have to learn to translate an unknown language. Haven’t gotten too deep into the game yet, but I picked it up because I liked Chants of Sennaar, which has a similar premise. Chants is 25% off right now, so I think that’s a decent recommendation

    Hardspace Shipbreaker is a casual game where you break down spaceships for parts. It seemed fun, and I wanted to have something casual to balance out my library, which currently has more intense games than I would like.

    Subnautica is a survival game where you’re stuck on an ocean world. I’m honestly not too sure if I would like this one too much, since I’m not too much of a fan of survival games. It just seemed unique enough from the other survival games, and it had a decent deal, and it was in my wishlist for a while. So I acted a bit on impulse and bought both games (Subnautica and Subnautica Below Zero)
