Dyskolos

Then...why do you still work for such a company?

I know it means shit, but i'm proud of you dude :) It takes a lot to not only ackowledge the existence of the fucking circle, but also to decide against a kid first to protect it (which already was a good sign hm?). And it rocks you didn't pull through with the suicide-shit. Dunno where you're from, but in my generation here, mental health is not a thing. Female mental health is "tsk, weak women lol" but men? oh my. Men do not have mental problems. I'm glad the younger generations aren't that dumb anymore. So yeah, 40 is still a good time to get started and probably still early for men our age :(

I understand why you didn't wanna have kids/feared having some. I too, did not (and now too old for one). I also feared I'd be a horrible dad, but probably I wouldn't have been. Who knows. I just didn't want to find out IF. It wouldn't have been the kid's fault.

But in those you CAN most definately change the FoV. Usually you need to just try out your optimal in regard to monitor-size and resolution. Staxel had no option for that as far as i remember. When you found your FoV your nausea/motion-sickness should be gone for good. At least this is the culprit in most of the cases and some devs still haven't learned :-)

Might be a slightly off (unchangeable) FoV. I, too, could not play this one very long.

Trying to list some I haven't already read here:

Len's Island. Will even be released the next days.

Everafter Falls

Necesse (also releasing soon)

Palworld

Enshrouded

While some might not be "chill farming" only, they could be set (or modded) to nearly no danger. Actually most (more recent) survival-games could be played that way. I do 😁

If just chill is mandatory:

Farming Together (or alone, part two also incoming)

I'm totally sure you are a great dad, and kudos to you for that, dear random internet stranger. Congrats on being the one mature and wise enough to end the cycle of abuse, not to follow it. You don't wanna know how often the latter is the case.

Thank you, really. but I'm fine (now, I'm already an old fart). I see people every day who have it way worse with way worse parents and way worse problems. Everything is relative, it's just a matter of the width of your horizon. Sadly so, because you're right. Having decent parents should be the absolute minimum for existence.

It's the same kind of "good news" like "orphans now to receive dream-vacation before being crushed in the orphan-crushing-machine". That's also very good and is helping them.

How am I supposed to see those two things separated?

But hey the muricans do have their so beloved freedom. It really actually IS the land of the free. The fine print just says "...for corporations, not you, you filthy peasant".

The cognitive dissonance in media disgusts me. This bright sliding is so stupid it hurts. Do US-americans actually see this as "good news" and be like "oh that's so wholesome!"? They can't be all this simple.

My parents.
