I have deleted every single social media account I had with the sole exception of Reddit (and Beehaw of course) in the past few years as part of my deciding-to-be-better clean-up act.
Even after blocking and removing a metric fuck ton of toxic subs I always still feel worse than when I start casually browsing it. Something about confidently incorrect people, trolls, assholes, bots and AI slop get under my skin no matter how much I try to ignore them.
So I'm going to reduce my Reddit activity even further.
The world is probably always on fire right now and life is always hard. But I empathize with all of you that haven't had things go your way this week, and I celebrate all your little small wins and victories.
Sleeping Dogs is such an unrated game in my opinion. I very rarely complete games nowadays since they take soooooo much time with all the unnecessary bloat and terrible writing, but I did finish the main storyline for Sleeping Dogs and enjoyed thoroughly.
The gritty tone and grime and filth felt so visceral, the decisions carried so much weight. Compared to the utter slop that is modern AAA games that tries to make everyone feel included and everything just has to be rainbows and unicorns.
DEI, fucking important IRL. In games, I really don't need HR to be in my sidecar writing me up everytime I choose renegade.
If only they were to remake Sleeping Dogs. I'll play the hell out of that one.
