Analysis paralysis mostly.

Not sure what the average person is supposed to do from where they live. I go to protests and try to contribute to my local community, while giving money to orgs that are better positioned to do stuff, but I hate this narrative of "nobody is doing anything". I'm not going to pick up a gun and start deciding on targets, and fuck anyone who does generic calls to violence.

At the end of the day, people are just trying to live their lives, and they don't have a lot of individual levers to pull to make an impact. It requires organization and belief that good things can still happen, which are sorely lacking in left leaning spaces.

It really doesn't make any claims that you need money to do this. You could do this with a local park or hike.

Money helps broaden your options but isn't required to chat with people.

I feel really similar. I'm a dude, and I've always struggled with male friendships. I'll ask people about themselves and their interests, get answers, and then the conversation stops with no reciprocation. I have a hard time just talking about myself unprompted, so since it's rare for men to ask me stuff, I just get to know a lot of people but it never seems like they meet me.

I mean, it's EA. They've been in full on corporate profit mode forever, and any good games that they've put out are in spite of that. I doubt that there are a ton of "artists trying to make art" left at the decision making level of EA.

That's not a threat, that's a mean suggestion.

No, because I know that "my country winning" in some imaginary billionaire dick waving competition is not something I give a shit about.

No, it's no good, is no good!

I mean, you kinda gotta finish everything in order to get to Act 3, right?

The story gets better, but it's paced really weirdly and has some major issues. There's a lot that's not explained and the characters often just don't react to what's happening. The visuals and music are GORGEOUS though.

The crank folds down into an extremely satisfying magnetic dock that it can sit in while not using it.

Also... These aren't classic Gameboy games, they're modern games made specifically for the device. The unique control mechanism is the niche, and it's surprisingly fun to use. You just also CAN emulate Gameboy games on it. There's people who have made e-readers for it too... Though... That's where even i draw the line lol

Sounds like this isn't your thing though, there are lots of Gameboy emulator powered handhelds if that's all you're looking for. If you want extremely unique gameplay by tons of small indie developers (including Lucas Pope of Papers Please), super easy to make games for (I've made 2 just for friends), really easy side loading, and something just fun to show people, it's a super easy sell.
