We are taking the same approach and every word you said landed with me, matched my experience.

I'll add that this is a VERY different strategy from the approaches taken by both my partner's and my parents.

It's not easy, but I think we're raising better humans than ourselves. On days when it's exhausting and you're burned out and you feel like you can't do it, cling to that.

You're doing great. It's worth it. Keep it up! ๐Ÿ’š

If you like reading the text of the shitpost more than admiring the number of upvotes they received then you really like content more than shitposting for karma

Nature is healing

I think Chicago is the only other US city that comes close, their transit is fantastic!

I really love, and really miss, healing in wow raids circa WOTLK through Cata, specifically using healnot and custom keybinds to keep people alive. I don't have time or budget for an MMO in my late 30s, nor do I see that easing up anytime soon.

I think a game where you had to do raid mechanics/puzzles while keeping NPCs alive through healing could be really fun, even without a loot grind. Or a game that dropped you into a multiplayer raid encounter without the crap around it. Either could be great.

I mostly just follow the nextlander crew and Jeff Gerstmann. They aren't much more than podcasts, there's little to no written work produced, and they don't really consider themselves gaming journalists, but that's pretty much what we're left with.

"Influencers" and corporate cash have largely killed games journalism.

But Simba voluntarily went into exile, de facto abdicating the throne to the next heir, which was Scar.

No pretending, Scar had a legitimate claim!

But the prince is a sniveling snot weasel! Now, the Dread Pirate Roberts is a real kick-ass role model

I didn't find him particularly scary in Insomnia, but he was believable and his character had depth which meant a lot more in the context of the film.

Insomnia is still a bit underrated, buried in the larger Nolan canon. It's an incredible and inventive crime drama, but probably (one of?) Nolan's weakest. Which is to say it's broadly only like an 8/10.
