Cards on the table: for Google money I’d do it too. If they want to enshittify their product until the competition has a fighting chance, who am I to stop them? Sure, it’s an annoying and anticonsumer thing to do. But making a “free” product’s bad qualities harder to circumvent isn’t the ethical hill I’m going to die on.

I took a class on nonviolent protest in college. Covered the lives and work of ghandi, MLKJ, thoreau. Very enlightening.

This was the answer, but it seems to be bugged on the current samsung OS. Every time I lock my phone it comes back and I have to toggle that notification category on and off again. Blocking notifications from the app wholesale gets rid of them, but I’m worried I’d be turning off something important if I did that.

Is combat focus a deal breaker? If not: Faster Than Light Volcanoids (early access) Darkest dungeon (kind of) Xcom

If you step away from the ship, things like mass effect and outer worlds come to mind. If the ship can be a base there’s a whole world there. Astroneer, planet crafter (early access), Starbound, terraria, Subnautica If exploration/colony sim is cool you’re looking at factorio, rift breaker, frostpunk, ixion (hardcore!), satisfactory

I expect I’ve stayed from your prompt at this point. It’s a tough niche. Good luck with your search!

Edit: on mobile, don’t know why my line breaks didn’t work. Forgive the formatting.

AL resident here - he doesn’t get as much direct support as you might think. Most of the state votes straight red without even reading the names, so he only needs enough support/bullying competition to get through the primaries.

White bread. Bland enough to avoid eating aversions and puts some energy in you. Plus, most people already have some! Not claiming it’s healthy, but when I’m sick and the thought of eating makes me want to puke it manages to slip past my radar.

You know what the community is called, but because you judge the question to be stupid you’re attacking them anyway by just changing the word? People like you are the reason communities like this exist in the first place. You make people afraid to express their curiosity and improve themselves as a person. Everyone has holes in their knowledge, and sometimes those holes are embarrassing. The best way to combat ignorance in our society is to foster a culture where people are encouraged to express their curiosity and educate themselves.

A great way to develop the most user friendly ruleset is to have them compete! Here’s what I mean by this: once you have your top 5ish systems, just lookup 1 vs 2, 1 vs 3, and so on. You’ll notice some rules that are coming up almost every time. These are the greatest pain points for users of that ruleset. From here, you can cherry pick the best of all worlds! A word of caution: if you intend to avoid a particular rule or style, consider why it exists in the first place. Often when a system keeps a part of the game most players dislike it’s because that system is essential for maintaining balance somewhere.

I actually fit it all in my blue jeans! I have a pocket organizer that holds the small stuff and it all works out spacewise. Heavy though, have to wear a belt to keep everything in place.

I have an awesome pocket organizer thing I was gifted that holds all the small stuff. So I’m really only putting like 5 things in my pockets when I’m getting ready to walk out the door.

My kit:

• pocket knife
• flashlight
• wallet
• folding phone stand
• phone
• earbuds
• pen (with a cap, not a clicky)
• sharpie
• breath mints
• 4’ multi-end charging cable
• thumb drive
• lightning > 3.5mm (aux)
• USBC > 3.5mm
• bandaids
• OTC drugs (Advil, Tylenol, Aleve, Benadryl, lactase (I’m lactose intolerant))

Everything on that list was added because I needed it and didn’t have it on multiple occasions. There have been plenty of other things that I would love to carry, but found too bulky to justify.

A note to everyone recommending condoms: they do expire, and can wear through if carried in an environment with friction (wallet, pocket, etc). I prefer to play it safe and make a stop at a drug store should the need arise.

If you have the budget for it, get an SSD. You will never look back. Even if you never open a game, the difference in pc boot and application load times alone makes it worth it. Not to mention the increased life span, as others have mentioned. If budget is a serious concern, you can consider a fusion drive. Fusion drives have a segment using the same memory cells as SSD for frequently used programs, and a traditional spinning disk HDD section for affordable storage. Especially if you are looking to upgrade to 2+TB, a fusion drive can bridge the financial gap. But my personal recommendation would be to splurge a bit on a full SSD, and get at least 2TB if at all possible. Files sizes get bigger every year, and if you intend this to be your only storage the extra breathing room will be a huge QOL difference.
