I don't know that I have enough faves to make a 3x3, but I do enjoy a few games that I keep coming back to or thinking about.

Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice: I came across this game as I was coming to grips with my own psychotic disorder, and the game made me feel so understood. Like someone else knows what I'm going through and it's not just me.

Dwarf Fortress: It's a wildly complex procedurally generated world with colony building, like Rimworld, but it also has a roguelike adventure mode. I am a huge fan of roguelikes, so I really enjoyed this part of the game as well as fortress mode.

Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead: A sandbox zombie survival roguelike. You have mostly full freedom to do whatever. You can just go through houses and getting food and tools, trying to sneak around the dead. You can build a forge out of, like, clay and stone to forge metal weapons. There's a complex vehicle building aspect, and you can drive around in your super car cooking meth and getting high and annihilating zombies.

Cultist Simulator: It's a roguelike card game with a cosmic horror atmosphere and themes. You learn rituals and summon horrible gods, sacrifice your followers to ascend to immortality. It's really a horrible premise, but it's a fun game, and I love the cosmic horror.

They took one of the whitest ass of white dudes, but since he looks orange we did the lighting to make him yet whiter.

In my high school government class our learning about the lawmaking process I think was just that song and then a dead simple quiz on it. But now that I think about it, I did have mono at the time, so I missed a lot of classes. But no, our education in politics was very underwhelming. And just pretend Marx and friends didn't exist because we sure didn't learn about them despite the strong opinions we had about their theories.

Oof. That's certainly one way to approach politics, I guess.

My mom says she really doesn't like socialism, but when we talk about it, she ends up agreeing with most aspects of it. Usually she'll just admit she is familiar with how to deal under capitalism, and she worries socialism (and/or the transition to it) will be rough. We're a working-class family, but since dad destroys his body for the overlords we make a comfortable amount of money, and they worry we won't be as comfortable. I think being allowed to live despite my limited working capacity would be an upgrade.

Me too. All mine are from the US. I do have some of those neat Great Women quarters, or whatever that set was called.

Don't forget the bad guy has to be disabled. Physically deformed, neurodivergent, something that somehow translates to them being evil.

There's definitely negative stuff that happens with mine, too. I choose to take medication because, at its worst, it is truly unbearable. But sometimes it can be like this. And everyone's experience is different, too.

That's interesting! The majority of my experiences are pretty negative, but this is a more positive one. I'm glad yours are mostly positive, though!

Bipartisanship is just class solidarity but in the ruling class.

I would advise some caution conflating empathy with caring. Many NDs have decreased--or possibly even a lack of--empathy due to the construction of their brain. This does not mean that they do not care, though. Even a lack of empathy is no excuse, NTs just fuckin hate us.

There's a guy near where I live who literally just had a dirt yard. No dead grass, or just starting to grow; just dusty dirt. Which they mowed consistently, causing the air in the whole neighborhood to be just dust. It was nice when it rained because the dust would settle and they wouldn't mow it until it was dusty again.
