    In addition to your point about customers being more likely to take their frustrations out on the person working far harder than the pay is worth is the perpetuated slogan or talking point of "no one wants to work anymore". I think this is a huge piece that circulates on Facebook or whatever and is a subliminal, if not more surface level for some, thought process so that people are placing blame on the lowest workers on the totem pole at the store, or restaurant, etc..

    My favorite is Roy Dotrice narrating the A song of ice and fire books. He would consistently surprise me with a range of voices in a book with so many characters to keep track of. Not only that, but how recognizable all of the characters became by his portrayal of them, knowing who was talking with little context. I can still hear his interpretation of multiple characters in my heads years after I last heard them.

    Raffle Choice: 1. [Beauty]

    Hope Game: [Black Book]

    [I really like the art style and theme of Black Book. I've played a few turn based tactic card games and get really into them! I especially like the dark atmosphere and creepy mythical beasts.]

    Hype Game: [Hypnospace Outlaw] from 4. [Bright]

    [If you've heard of this game before, you've probably heard the hype about it and it deserves it. This game has memorable visuals and music that I still listen to consistently. This game gave me a wave of nostalgia for what the internet used to be. If that isn't enough to convince you, this game has so much lore for story lovers, unique and different "puzzles" than other games and will evoke conspiracies and mysteries if you're thirsting for that too!]

    I've played the early access on steam deck and, aside from moving the cursor slower for precision, I felt very little difference from playing on PC! It already runs just as well as on PC. At least as of the last time I played on the deck, I did change a few controls for QOL shortcuts and I would find I'm missing a command (although not a "necessary" command, like overhead gameplay for example) outside of the default assigned for keyboard and mouse games. It was very easy to do though and saved my control scheme once I got it right! I can only imagine it will be easier come release with community controls and potentially official controls to really tighten it up.
