I will not try to tell you how to feel about your body, because I often hate my own as well. But it is merely a surface coating around the person that you are, and I appreciate that person. ❤️

What I find wild is, not only did the manufacturer screw up the logo, but also that GC is still passing them out. Did nobody notice?

I once watched a deer-centaur randomly murder a book merchant and their guards, then cross the road to slaughter a food merchant, before returning to their hookah. I wasn't too surprised to learn they weren't welcome in Bey Lah.

Later found out I wasn't welcome in Bey Lah either.

I will recommend The Vorkosigan Saga by Lois McMaster Bujold.

Check footnote 20 of his Wikipedia page and you'll understand why I advise against checking his stuff out.

I'm gonna give you a MAJOR warning about Piers Anthony and the Xanth series. His books did NOT age well, and there's a lot of intensely problematic stuff about the guy. I am saying this as someone who devoured the Xanth novels when I was young but can't stand his writing now.

Happy to help!

Also, I am entertained that your SNES list of games shares a lot of titles with my played list. Figured I had your tastes on lock, but I always like to check.

Potion Permit (Stardew Valley for alchemists)
Roots of Pacha (Prehistoric Stardew)
Chained Echoes (solid RPG)

I'll tack on Wildermyth because it's kinda neat and is a fun little tactical RPG. Some other honorable mentions:

CrossCode
Dust: An Elysian Tail
ASTLIBRA (looks sketch, actually good)

Okay. I'm gonna give some Steam recs that might be right up your alley:

Timespinner (there's a Timespinner 2 coming out sometime soon)
Monster Sanctuary
Aethermancer (Currently in demo, coming out soon)
Symphony of War: The Nephilim Saga

There's a demo out for Shrine's Legacy, which feels like a mashup of Illusion of Gaia and Secret of Mana (though mostly the former). Not sure when it's coming out, but the demo was fun.

I can toss out some more recs depending on what you like and what you may or may not have played.

Helpful tip:

Inject curse words into your Google searches and the Google AI disappears.

They knew he was a criminal.
They knew he was deranged and ignorant.
They detested him and his buffoonery.

But they also feared they wouldn't win another election without him. They were afraid their base would abandon them if they abandoned him. So, for love of power, they capitulated.

I'm a Virgo and I've kissed exactly three boys (once because why not, once because it was funny, once on a dare). Figured out it wasn't for me, but I did give it a shot (and gave as good as I got, because I take pride in what I do). Still not sure how this math checks out, though.

I got diagnosed ADHD - Inattentive at 37. Better late than never, but man, would that have helped me stave off some grief and unhealthy coping mechanisms for the decades prior if I'd gotten diagnosed in childhood. Sadly, my parents were of the "ADHD is just an excuse to put kids on drugs" camp.

I get that. Fortunately, that's probably one of the more reliable uses for it (at least, for getting a good structure to build from).

Just be warned that it mostly tries to find the most likely set of words (based on what it's seen online) to match what you're looking for - and it will straight up lie and make shit up a good part of the time. Most writing online is also Search Engine Optimization coded, so it has a certain cadence

My immediate thought when encountering people like that is: "Some people's children." Did their parents never teach them that's not how you act in public? I don't care how old someone is, that kind of behavior is childish and immature, and folks behaving that way should be called out accordingly.
