Without spoiling much, a guy and his (kinda) girlfriend find a hole/void/process in floor of their apartment building. I legitimately couldn't tell you more without giving things away. It's surreal as hell, but does have a lot of gross body horror elements. It's also kinda just a depressing read, but still worth it. -

Like you could add in religious elements based on the rings and where on the planet the civilization is.I had seen a video where they talked bout how it would impact a civilization as they evolved.

Dreamt of a demented game. I've played it before in my dreams. Involves being assigned an item you have to take to a location, usually something fragile or a food item that is tempting to eat. Everyone gets something different, it's crowded where the game happens and needs a place with lots of random rooms and dead ends. It's filled with all the players trying to take their items to a location, interspersed amongst the players are imposters, some kind of otherworldly creature that is trying to catch you. They can only catch you by convincing you that they are a real person. When they catch you they show you unbelievable horrors that kill you. No one ever wins this game. I came upon a room filled with hundreds of people and a band all frozen and waiting to see if someone would start shooting a gun. It was a standoff because someone swore there was a fake person with them (there wasn't).
I was assigned a sandwich to take somewhere, and wore a birthday hat. I was eventually cornered by a middle aged woman and a guy, they were some of the fakes. She lifted my birthday party hat and I barely saw under the edge and it was filled with a sea of endless eyes. I screamed and woke up.

As for their rental program, I can't believe it's even legal. It really does prey upon people who aren't well off financially.

I wrote this game off years ago. Picked it up free from Amazon a couple months back.
It still didn't click with me, until I had 3 of my friends in a party. Like others have said it's a barebones MMO, but that said, it's a casual MMO. I can pick it up for an hour and put it down. After a couple weeks I just started joining the casual parties people make and doing events with them. For me it's just a "numbers go up" game.
I was pleasantly surprised by it being enjoyable at all. It's not on par with any of the actual fallout games, but then again I never expected it to be. I got into some of the base building and enjoyed making a couple themed builds, and I did end up spending like 10 dollars on it.
As far as the quests go, I don't pay attention to 90% of what they're even for. Just kind of a time waster game. It is kinda fun being able to swap your SPECIAL build once you hit level 50 btw. You can experiment with different play styles.As everyone else has said, it's okay to write it off as just not being for you, and you could do a lot worse than $8 to learn that lesson.

They used wine as an analogy for sexuality and gender. The guy ends up saying,
"I like the wine and not the label, does that make sense?"
Honestly that's the best way I've ever heard my own POV described.

Comment on Twisters | Official trailer in ~movies
2crzy4uall Link ParentThe "twins" scene, the vibe of the hotshot that the team is up against, idk. Maybe this just isn't for me.

Never felt that there needed to be a sequel for this movie.
This is a pretty relevant one for me. I've worked in the tech industry, and out of over a decade of experience I've had so many people come to me telling me all sorts of conspiracies. (Only one was actually real! Her adult kids were following her every move for some reason). So I've seen a lot of variations on this.
The other side is that I had a psychotic break due to marijuana usage. I love it and wish I could smoke it anytime but it makes me paranoid to hell. The way you describe what these people say is pretty much what I thought was happening as well. The solution for me was about 6 months of antipsychotics and antidepressants, followed by like a year of therapy and never smoking weed again. Realistically there's not much you can do for people that are in that state.
If it were me, I'd try to reassure them that this thing isn't happening and that they should seek help for their delusions. Like I said there's not much you can do when someone's that far gone, and try not to blame yourself for their circumstances. I don't think there's anything that someone could tell me when I was in that state that would convince me that what I was thinking and feeling wasn't true.
