I am fucking tired of article headlines that say “here’s why,” and here’s why (link).

No touchpads?

My family used to both say I was the nerd and can and need to fix all their shit, AND anytime anything went wrong it MUST be my fault since I’m the one “tinkering” with and fixing their shit.

This is a minor part of a huge amount of reasons I worked my ass off to get fully independent and no contact with my family anymore.

I’m late for work at the Twin Towers!

Kingdoms of Amalur. Though I’m just happy the new DLC was decent after such an odd history getting there. I doubt a faithful sequel can be done from scratch.

I’ve been waiting for this to ever be cheap enough. I guess good riddance.

I still use Steam Link for that. The little physical box. They still support it.

Read more history, even just the last 1-200 years. Really dig in to the shit they don’t get into in school. What you’ll find is that times have always been “troubling” and if anything I think there’s a selfishness some people have when they always focus on somehow NOW is the worst time ever and NOW is when things are terrible and everything good will somehow end.

Honestly, whatever you think is “troubling” nowadays probably isn’t even new or the first time. But so many people don’t understand just how fucked up all of history has been and yet people and countries and cultures survived.

If anything, life today in general for most is far better than in all of human history. Due to advancements in technology and medicine, most people don’t have to worry about basic survival things the same way they might have even just 100 years ago.
