How do you guys "build" your heroes?
this 100%. I have spent probably like 5 hours drafting a paragraph in my original comment only to realize that Im just sick and tired of it all. My friends are affected by these policies. I have had some negative experience with these maga followers ( had a boss 5 years ago who was maga, same with their kid) and recently, I had a roommate “flip” over the last year and pretended that they never supported it (even though I still have some nasty texts from them).
I used to really try to meet people in the middle and legit a month ago still believed that second chances (the more the better) should be a thing but honestly… it’s getting to the point where a lot of it feels fake. Even if it’s genuine, the damage has already been done and is still going. When MTG started distancing herself from MAGA, I genuinely supported it. Even at this moment I think she is sincere but it is just too late.
Have you guys even tried to have a conversation with these people? Not a debate but a genuine attempt in making a connection? Sometimes the connection does get made and good conversations happen… but other times it just goes straight into some form of hatred with a smile on their face.
In the end, if you think that someone does genuinely regret their decision and/or vote, then good for them but the damage is already done and somethings cannot be recovered. People do learn from mistakes but the mistakes are costing all of us. Deep down I still want to help people out but I can’t pretend that the people who wanted to hurt my friends and community will magically stop just because they said a specific sequence of words.
Don’t get me wrong, I am currently playing planescape torment and love it but seeing everyone else’s response is actually blowing my mind a bit. I mean like, I love me my disco elysium’s and factorio-like games, but the thing that really sucks me in and gives me a shit ton of adrenaline are fps and boomershooters.
Something about chasing people down, watching all corners, and/or running for cover is just addicting.
I really wish I could get the same level of immersion with rpg’s but I guess I’m not that type of person ;_;
What you can do is take turns playing a single player game (if you are in person) such as the last of us. you take turns playing the game until you die etc. Since I assume you are more familiar with games, if it is your turn and you know that something cinematic or cool is going to happen, make sure to die beforehand so they get to experience it.
I mention this/these types of games cuz its a good couch game + you can make a shit ton of popcorn or pizza bites for the person whose currently watching.
Other than that, every recommendation here sounds solid!
