Yeah, I keep in touch. I experienced some deprivation as a kid, so as an adult, I pursue interests with glee. Maybe even to my detriment, but overall I think it’s a positive thing to rush toward interesting things.

The flip side is, really draining sometimes, and I push it away in favour of gratification. Could also be a sign of an imbalance in life, if recovering from work-based responsibility doesn’t happen well enough, and it intereferes with personal life responsibilites.

I have two Hori sticks, the RAP4 (modded) and fighting edge unmodded.

Both work great on pc and playstation. Hori at least had a switch stick, but not sure if any more. It was based on the RAP, which is a fine stick, even out of the box.

If you don’t have budget constraints, ordering a custom could work too, since you could get it to work on the switch and ps. I don’t think many sticks support both out of the box.

If you can leave the switch out, Qanba is real nice. Razer sticks are pretty cool too, very heavy and boxy, but I like that. And Hori is a bit more budget friendly.

The Nacon stick with Sanwa parts seems like a good deal too.

There a youtube channel and a steam curator called Mortismal Gaming who loves CRPGs. Their shtick is also completing games at 100% before popping a review, and they are churning out new material at an amazing pace. Check it out for some decent coverage on the genre.

As for a maybe hidden gem, Age of Decadence looks pretty good. I have not played it yet, but the genre seems to match, and the premise is solid.

Expedition Rome is well appreciated too, even if it leans more toward tactical battles.

Alien RPG has this mechanic in the “cinematic play”/oneshot playmode, and it for the single session of it I’ve done, kt was great.

I ran the introductory adventure with a few modifications (like taking out the android), and giving each player a card with their own goals and motivations. It culminated in a GREAT betrayal at the end of the session, and a desparate, selfish scramble for survival.

I’d love to try it again, say for Vampire or some other “non-good” and rp-heavy heavy game.

Behind The Bastards. Steven Seagalia käsittelevä tuplajakso heitti sisään, ja sille tielle jäin. Käyvät läpi historian pahimpia mulkeroita.

Yeah, Addict is great for what it is especially for thr price. Paying that much for basically a nothingburger seems weird?

Yläasteet on paikkoja minne opetushalu ja idealismi menee kuolemaan. Massiiviset luokkakoot, resurssipuute ja teinielämän haasteet on aikamoinen kombo.

Isot propsit ja loputon kunnioitus niille jotka tätä tehtävää hoitaa.

Just bought a wollen cape for those crispy autumn mornings. It’s nice to lounge around in, but maybe I’ll summon the courage to take it out too.

Kinda feels like a trenchcoat in function, but lighter and with a hood to boot.

If you care about fashion, everything will go out of style every now and then. If you like cargo shorts, wear them. There’s no reason to cater to someone elses gatekeeping. If you think that they don’t fit your look, then that’s a completely different issue.

They are very handy too in all the right ways.

Driving people out because of their past isn’t fruitful. Someone used to have bigoted views but something made them change their mind, and they pushed hard enough to reform their life? Sounds like they wanted it, and are probably a changed person.

I know a few people like this. They help others leave similar situations. Great people doing important work.

https://www.music-map.com/ can help a bit. It knows surprisingly underground bands.

Random browsing on Bandcamp can produce results too.

Depends on how progressive you want to go, as when you are bordering on noise, ambient and other fringe genres, there are lots of bands with little fame.

I have a single album from “Lento” that is pretty cool. Post-rock, powt hardcore, post metal kinds stuff.

Nero Di Marte is on the more extreme side, but flirts with prog.

Oranssi Pazuzu is prog and black metal together. Weird stuff, but good.

And a long time favourite: Circle. Lots of different kinds of albums, most pretty great. Awesome if you can catch them live.

Edit. More stuff and typos

There’s this noiserock/prog group called Fushitsusha. The songs are long, winding and sometimes grinding romps. They have some traditional Japanese elements mixed in as well.

If you don’t know about Mono, go have a listen. Especiall Hymn to the Immortal Wind. Stuff brings tears to my eyes.
