How are you liking 4? I really enjoyed 3 but haven't picked up 4 yet. Does it stack up?

Big Numenera vibes from this. Really cool piece.

I asked, I'm loving the new mechanics. It's great having mechs around the base helping with construction and cleaning. I'm about to make my first scyther cuz I desperately need another melee blocker as my poor cleaner bot keeps dying every raid.

I've gotten back into Rimworld, I just got the BioTech dlc and I'm really enjoying it.

I love getting a little colony going and then almost inevitably seeing it slowly fall to pieces because of something stupid I did a few hours ago. For example not having my power production behind walls so raiders keep setting them in fire. So now my base is in the dark and everyone is injured following 2 raids in a row.

This was going to be my suggestion. Big stone writing. Do something like the Rosetta stone with multiple languages saying the same thing, for future translation, and then keep it somewhere safe like a large cave.

I've been going with "surviving" for the last year or so. It's about as good as I can confess to myself most days. I agree with you in that "good thanks", you? Feels you close to lying for my morals on my bad days.

Yeah the story for tunic and what's going on underneath all the happy Zelda like over world was pretty jaw dropping. I loved that game.

I don't have any issues with them. What I do take issue with is companies enforcing them with the assumption being you will use your own mobile device to authenticate for them. I feel like it's not worth the stink to complain but both places I work for require 2fa now and I need the authenticator app or get a message to my phone.

Mortality is a hard thing to get your head around. Try to not let it take over and keep doing the things you enjoy. Talk to some friends about it all. That should help get some perspectives. Don't be afraid of going to sleep. Sleep is cozy and good for you.

If there is"no point" then the point is to do the most good and have the most fun whilst you can.

I work in healthcare and often talk to people and families about the dying process. We tell people that dying is a lot like falling asleep and that hearing is the last sense to go. So even if they aren't awake and interacting anymore they are still aware of the people around them.

To me, dying is part of life, it's the big unknown. Everyone dies, you can't change that. What we can do is accept it and make the best life we can with the time we have. The point is enjoying the now. For me I focus on spending time with my wife and doing what good in the world I can do. I work with dying people a lot and if I can make even a few minutes of their time better I've made a difference that was worthwhile.

I've read, I think, 4 of these and thoroughly enjoyed them. I enjoy murderbot as a character and watching their personality develop over the books is great. My biggest issue is length and pricing, in the UK these are as expensive as full length books but are novellas at best. The quality remains high compared to the first book so the rest are worth a read if you can rent them or get them cheap.

Last week I was on holiday with my family and got to spend a lot of time with my nephew who's nearly 2 and very cute.
