What the hell did I just read?

Honestly there's not that much one can do, but I will:

• Hope Trump is thrown in prison
• Vote straight ticket Democrat
• Hope another Jan. 6 doesn't occur
• Try not to lose my shit when idiots say stuff like "both parties are equally bad"

I live in a solid blue state, so my national-level votes don't do much (though I'll cast them anyway).

In past years I've thrown a few hundred dollars at close senate and house races. In 2020 I volunteered for a phone/text bank sort of deal to make sure people were registered to vote.

Dyson Sphere Program. Factorio and Satisfactory tend to get all the press, but DSP is AMAZING.

• They learned a lot of quality of life lessons from older factory games and built them in, e.g. you get bots right away.
• The visuals can be breathtaking: not because it's raytracing/whatever fancy tech, but simply the scale of the game: giant gas planet rises at the horizon, etc. -- and you can fly to just about everything you see. Star 5 light years away? You can fly to it and visits its planets and moons, and then ship stuff between your home system and the new system
• It does power exceptionally well: there are a ton of power sources (https://dsp-wiki.com/Energy_Sources#List_of_Fuels), and a lot of depth in figuring out how to power your mega factories. You can even charge up a battery and ship it by spaceship to another moon/planet. Going back to Factorio's simplistic steam/solar/nuclear power feels like a let down (of course, Factorio has its strengths, like trains and extreme polish).

It's in early access, but it's one of the most polished early-access games you'll find. They're currently working on a large combat update that should drop in December. Price-to-value ratio is ridiculous. It's $20 and I have 155 hours in the game.

There's something so cozy about pixel art. Brings me back to the mid 90s, playing ancient DOS adventure games in my buddy's attic

Who the f wants those kinds of storylines with someone old enough to be their mom
