<p>I spent 20+ years on the hedonic treadmill, only to realize it doesn&#39;t lead anywhere. Now I&#39;m a metamodern hippe living in the far north with my husband <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://unstraight.club/@Nightwolf" class="u-url mention">@<span>Nightwolf</span></a></span> and our two dogs. My passion project right now is a contemporary urban space opera called &quot;The Psychonaut Chronicles&quot;. See pinned threads for more about me and where I live. I alt-text images and expect the same from you.</p><p><a href="https://unstraight.club/tags/scifi" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>scifi</span></a> <a href="https://unstraight.club/tags/videogames" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>videogames</span></a> <a href="https://unstraight.club/tags/storyt

    For those that are into 1st/3rd person 3D puzzles, and/or metroidvania I can highly recommend &amp;quot;Talos Principle 2&amp;quot; from a studio in Croatia, and &amp;quot;MIO - Memories In Orbit&amp;quot; from France. The former has incredibly clever puzzles coupled with a story and setting permeated by philosophy about what consciousness and being human really is. The latter is on par with Silksong for me. Great story and atmosphere. #gaming #videogames #mio #TalosPrinciple

    Every summer, I&amp;#39;m grateful for unions (socialism!) that gave us 5 week vacation time. Our first four weeks have been lovely. Midsummer at Piteå Havsbad, the latter a quintessential Swedish experience. Sweden&amp;#39;s largest camping ground at the Gulf of Bothnia features a water park, padel boards (it was a huge fad for a while), spa, pool, grocery store, restaurants, nude beach, and 9x the population of our two villages during high season. 1/x #Sweden #camping

    Not only does Butler tell a captivating story, she connects the dots between racism and poverty in the US. She deals with climate change and its effects on a USA under a fascist takeover (and the results in the second book) in a very visceral way. It is also a deep reflection on the nature of God outside established religions. If there ever is a hall of fame of sci-fi, this duology belongs there. It is at last on par with Asimov&#39;s &quot;Foundation&quot; #scifi #OctaviaButler

    Today I learned that there are adoptions where the dog chooses their human. This is the stuff I need to see when the world is sliding into cruelty and insanity. If you too need a good cry but for the right reasons, there&amp;#39;s a lot of videos from the various places that have tried this. EDIT: removing the link, because it turns out it&amp;#39;s AI (thanks @IsobelLynn for the heads-up). I hate the times we live in and I&amp;#39;m going back to grinding in Diablo 4 and ignoring the world....

    @IsobelLynn I have never hated stochastic parrots more. And I already hated them pretty much before. Thanks!
