I LOOOOVE Vulcanus, it's an awesome planet with a lovely aesthetic and the most interesting 'threat' I've ever seen in this type of game. The first time I visited it, I remember wondering "Can I build a base here? Is it missing any critical resources?" In hindsight, it really is an awesome place for a main hub. I guess I shouldn't be any more specific than that because of spoilers.

I'm on Fulgora right now and this one is not quite as fun. It's essentially an empty graveyard wracked by almost constant storms. I'm embarrassed to admit it took me 5 actual real-life hours to figure out why I couldn't use a pumpjack on the oceans of oil the planet is covered in. The logistics are an especially horrid nightmare here, I suggest not messing around with the quality modules, even though the planet seems to be built for them. The whole thing turns into a spaghetti mess in no time at all and the islands make it impossible to build a true mega-base where everything can be carted off to a specific spot.

The space stations probably deserve a word too. I'm positively enamored with them. They are fun to design, fun to pilot, challenging, rewarding and interesting all at the same time. I'm really glad the developers pressed hard on the 'difficulty' slider, it would have been very easy and lazy to just throw 1-2 asteroids per minute at the player. But no, you do need an actual serious defensive strategy, the space rocks are no joke.

If you feel like writing more, I would be interested in reading a detailed description of your experiences. Both with getting access to the medication and its effects.

Are there any strategies for controlling/reducing anger that actually work?

Has anybody come across good employment opportunities online? I'm between jobs at the moment and a little bored. I don't have any particularly impressive skillset but I like to think I'm smart, agreeable and easy to work with.
The last time I checked freelancing sites like upwork, they seemed to be flooded with low-standard workers racing eachother to the bottom.

You could buy a machine for turning tap water into carbonated water, they're ~100$. It'd probably pay for itself in a month or two.

I feel like Reddit is mostly dead. Or at least in very heavy decline.

Whenever I look into a particular topic, there's a 80-90% chance the discussion is happening on twitter or discord. The big subreddits look alive but if you look carefully, you'll quickly realize they are incredibly heavily botted.

As far as smart people, there seems to be a very strong correlation between intelligence and intolerance towards censorship. Every worthwhile sub I can think of has moved elsewhere. There's a couple news-related ones I still glance at occasionally because reddit is good as a news aggregator but that's about it.

As far as useful information, you can simply ask an LLM. They've already been trained on everything reddit had to offer, and they can be as kind, patient and detailed as you want them to be. They'll never delete your question because it's a 'duplicate', they can provide sources and you only have to wait <1sec if you have anything urgent. They lie sometimes but so did people on reddit.

So, what are you reading?

Hope on royalroad.

It's a real treat to read, I would describe it as "swords and sorcery fantasy but extra nerdy". And a lot more sorcery than swords.

Off the top of my head:

  • ADHD medication (there are 5 main ones but most countries only legally allow atomoxetine and methylphenidate)
  • antidepressants
  • sleep
  • exercise
  • social factors (working with or for someone else)
  • nutrition (excess carbs and lack of protein are common problems)

Please use more paragraphs, they make text much easier to read.

I have no idea what the black and white bar that randomly pops up at the top is, what actions make it move, what my goal is regarding it, and what its state is at any given time. I suspect it's important, but I have no idea what to do with that feeling.

That's a pseudo-morality system, you can safely ignore it. You'll get an ending slide near the end of the game that recaps the state you've left each chapter in. And those slides are based on the final balance between black and white for each separate zone.

Fans of 'Slay the Spire' should check out 'Knock on the coffin lid'. It's very similar and very, very good. Launched only a couple weeks ago but there's at least a couple hundred hours of gameplay in the current version and it feels like a very complete game.

How good of an experience is playing the Fire Emblem games via emulation on PC?

And at this point, I'm wondering how much responsibility for this entire shitshow can be hung on me.

Objectively speaking, you're not responsible for any of this. But your boss and company may very well throw you under the bus anyway.
