    I recently picked up Car Dealer Simulator and honestly I’ve had quite more fun with it than I thought I would. It’s a neat little game to unwind. Still actively developed with a dlc releasing some time in Q1 2026

    Which is surprising overall to me because most simulator games suck. The gameplay loop is simple and it has its jank, within 2-3 hours you see most of the gameplay loop but nevertheless, having fun.

    I feel this to my bones. This is why I barely interact with anyone these days. I mostly keep to myself and try to stay busy with hobbies or something. Just a never ending stream of misery.

    I’d be concerned if that was a real review. No doubt it’s a bot one.

    Essentially if you allow others to gain capital and money (in other words, allow the poor to accumulate wealth) then that reduces your (the control freak rich asses, not you you) power and control over them, it is unfortunately that simple and stupid.

    Keeping the masses poor means keeping control over them, this is why they keep siphoning money from every nook and cranny.

    Unfortunately, there’s only one solution to this, but no one wants to talk about it.

    Same, I thought I’d be the only one to make this suggestion scrolling down. Absolute comfort movie even if I don’t fall asleep to it. It makes me feel mentally better, since, comfort.

    All this no doubt won’t be almost anyone’s idea of a comfort movie but its more spicy scenes aside… American Pie and some of its sequels.

    There’s just something about old comedy coming of age movies that does it for me in terms of comfort. I miss the simplicity of those times I guess.

    In a world where second-hand screen watching or whatever the term is called is a thing, Pluribus' existence is such a good thing. I find no issues with the pace whatsoever, every scene has meaning and I'm so looking forward to next season.

    Shame that in this day and age it takes 2-3 years to produce one season of television. Just another thing streaming has ruined.
