  • Looking like Mass Effect is not a bad thing. ME rules. If the gameplay is just as fun and characters/story just as interesting, then I'm absolutely down. That said, the NPCs are giving me cliche, overly-talkative, super annoying vibes. Hopefully that's just from the editing. After the utter failure of Starfield, a solid sci-fi RPG would be very welcome, even if it's a little derivative or overly reminiscent of its predecessors.

  • Interesting! They made the right choice, though. I'm not ashamed to say I was quietly sobbing in the theater. Nat and Clint trying to stop each other was an emotional rollercoaster, and Nat's "Let me go" was so much more personal. Two best friends who had nothing left but each other, desperately trying to save the other by sacrificing themselves. Damn, I'm tearing up just think about it...

  • The only focused Democratic message for the past 8+ years has been, "We need to stop Trump," which I agree with, but without Trump, I can't think of a single, unified message. That's not enough to get the general population fired up and excited to vote for Dems. One thing that made Obama so popular was he had specific goals and gave people hope.

    Trump, in the meantime, has been feeding people all sorts of promises and hopes and dreams. They're all terrible and full of shit, but that is a more powerful message than just, "We need to stop Harris."

  • If you're like me, you might not recognize her by name, but she is Ariel in The Little Mermaid and Barbie in Toy Store.

    Watching some old MGS3 cutscenes, I can hear it. There's no way I would've guessed it without knowing, but you can hear a little of Ariel in EVA'S voice.

  • Walking outside is free! There are free support groups online. Those require time, but just 20 minutes can make a bigger difference.

    The CBT workbook I used was maybe $20, I think. It's worth the investment.

    Finally, getting over depression is all about retraining how you think. It's going to take time, practice, and effort. Depression wants to show you how you don't have the resources to beat it. That's not true. You can beat it, even if you don't have the resources other people might.

    Depression has forever changed me. It's easy to think that it was for the worst, but I'm more empathetic to people than I was before. Something that helped me was realizing and believing that depression is temporary. You won't always be like this, even though you might feel that way.

    You can do this.

  • Professional help can be cheap! You just might have to look little harder. For a while, I saw a psychologist who had a deal with a church where they subsidized most of his fee. So it was super cheap for me.

    One of the most helpful things for me was Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT. I used a workbook that helped me see how skewed and untrue some of my thinking was.

    Finally, walking in nature or, even better, exercise! Find what works for you. I like jump rope. Good luck!
