    The only reason I'm subbed to this channel, watching amazing artists learn new songs in the shortest time possible and hearing their own renditions to already incredible tracks is my jam.

    Chad did a giga on this one, barely heard the whole song before laying waste to all the doubters

    I don't want to sound insensitive, but have you considered another angle, like LAD (from Lyme's disease) and have had a blood work or similar done? It may be relevant if these things just suddenly occurred in your life with no previous medical or psychiatric history.

    NIH NLM PubMed

    LAD contributed to suicidality, and sometimes homicidality, in individuals who were not suicidal before infection. A higher level of risk to self and others is associated with multiple symptoms developing after acquiring LAD, in particular, explosive anger, intrusive images, sudden mood swings, paranoia, dissociative episodes, hallucinations, disinhibition, panic disorder, rapid cycling bipolar, depersonalization, social anxiety disorder, substance abuse, hypervigilance, generalized anxiety disorder, genital–urinary symptoms, chronic pain, anhedonia, depression, low frustration tolerance, and posttraumatic stress disorder.

    Any legal repercussions they may face from allowing their service to be abused and used in crimes?

    Writing/journaling a lot more due to having bought some devices that entice me to punch keys and write my thoughts out, keeping my gray matter somewhat clear and less intrusive in my daily life. A lot of introspection happening, which I guess is a good thing.

    It's been a while since I've used Firefox and while I've got some complaints with this specific fork (Mull), it's nothing security-related.

    Always hated the useless extras Brave had, but there are a few UI decisions in Brave that I wish Firefox has.

    Settled on Mull, currently moving all content saved on Brave to Mull/Firefox. Btw, you might want to check the links you posted. They're recommending Brave, which is the topic of this thread. Lol.

    I'm probably a few chapters in, but does the game end? Or does the game allow you to continue exploring and fishing once the story elements are done? I'm about 15 hours in and don't want the fun...

    1000+ hours in and 92% achievement completion here in MHR. I never thought the MH universe was something I'd get into, but the gameplay loop is just too good. After sinking 600+ hours in my first MH (World) I knew I was going to stick around for the later games.

    The game's much better with friends!

    Got some pretty amazing games during the Steam Summer Sale, here's the few I've fallen in love with and spent more time than I expected.

    Gloomhaven - had this one wishlisted for the longest time, finally had a reason to get it when a buddy thought it'd be a great co-op experience (and that it was one of the top tabletop games around). If you enjoy being in pain and challenging yourself to the high heavens - this is the game. The satisfaction and fulfillment from finishing scenarios is beautiful. Tough as heck.

    Dave the Diver - over a million downloads in under a month from release? This seemingly sleeper hit from a relatively unknown Korean developer has captured me, and taken a lot of my time. Highly recommended for all age ranges, very fun exploring and collecting fishes, with a fantastic story to boot!

    Halls of Torment - Vampire Survivors had a baby with Diablo! Similar fantasy theme to Diablo with the game elements of VS, this Early Access game incorporates an RPG/equipment system that blends well with the roguelite survival mechanic. Very good right now even as an EA, and it can only get better as the game reaches final release.

    Stacklands - developer Sokpop has popularized this game style, a card merging survival roguelite. Pirated this one years before to see what the buzz was about, finally bought it as the game deserves support. They've fixed controller support since I last played and added a ton more content as well. Highly enjoyable, great for all age ranges too.

    Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion - funny as heck RPG (?), playtime is under an hour but so far it's been great. From what I've played this is also an easy recommendation. Crazy characters, incredible situations, and a turnip that refuses to abide by the law!

    All of these games (except Gloomhaven!) have received Overwhelmingly Positive reviews on Steam. I would also rate Gloomhaven as OP, it's just too difficult for some people to consider "enjoyable". But if you're interested in these types of games - I highly recommend you try out every one on my list.

    It's a blur, living day to day. I'd probably be lost without my dog and games right now. It's not hard getting through it, I think, but the loneliness and self-isolation does get to me at times.
