This. I fear more for others than I do myself

Agree with this. Stardew Valley and many games can be found on mobile and quite popular with the gaming community. I am not sure as a beginner player I would start off with Stardew Valley as there are a lot of mechanics? Would recommend more of the below as there are not as many things to figure out:

High recommendations for Vampire Survivors. There is a demo with that link as well as direct app access.

Additionally, Animal Crossing Pocket Camp for $20 come December is great intro. Super relaxing game.

100% recommend Slay the Spire as well.

For games without a mobile option, I feel like Portal 1 and Portal 2 are must plays for anyone. And are not too graphically intense for any computer. Its a puzzle game. You run and jump into portals to figure out the puzzles. I wish I could play them again for the first time. All the above are amazing games. Wishing you the best on your journey!

P.S. if you have a friend to game with, It Takes Two is a pleasant experience.

Love it though admittedly I haven’t utilize much of the color e-ink feature. Primarily book covers right now and highlights (btw, contrary to what someone already responded Kobo has yellow, blue, green and pink highlights). The book covers look great in color but not as sharp as black and white. I’m hoping to read the Sandman soon though and other graphic novels from my library is why I got it (and it was a free upgrade for me).

But I love both my Kobos and have no complaints. Theyre so customizable and easy to use.

Kobo Libra H20 owner here too then Kobo Colour!! Love both! My husband upgraded me for free because he worked with Kobo

Unless he is actively suicidal this is not the answer and can make things worse

Nurse manager. I browse when I wake and during dinner. Sometimes during work breaks. I don’t really post. Mostly comment. Doesn’t take long to comment

Mold because I’m American

This. At least there is an attempt and you’re not left wondering. Rejection also isnt a bad thing. Its honesty. Rather someone be honest with me then dwell on “could be” “maybes” and just false hope as someone down the thread mentioned.

Very different than a show and a TCG

Between the two, Flesh and Blood looks like long term would have more staying power. They are currently having international and local events. Looks very cool… And tempting haha. I love TCGs too but it is an investment and time consuming…

Unsure what “stable” means but if youre looking to work from home with a nursing degree: Insurances, utilization management/review, public health, call center (Kaiser call center RNs make BANK), etc. If you want more daily flexibility in your schedule I had some friends take a paycut to do home health or hospice. Theres so many routes… And of course different jobs outside of nursing.

I do not think I blame any services or sites for paywalls especially if its part of their financial model to continue operations and providing services.

There are many free services I have the privilege of being able to pay for to support: Proton, StoryGraph, Wikipedia. I used to donate to Pocket but no longer. I want these services to continue and am privileged enough to be able to donate

I would think games like Divinity Sin 2, Balder’s Gate 3 have solid stories given their nature.

Theres also simpler games like Cat Quest II, Diablo IV (I thought story was very meh), A Way Out, etc.

You just have to look? No genre preference listed

I prefer them fresh but if needed, I retoast them when I get home especially with undercooked fries like Wendy’s . Ensures they are hot and crispy

Career fairs and some colleges may have writing centers or people that assist with cover letters, resumes, etc.

If you dont have that opportunity, I would search some up. Find ones that resonate with you and copy it but make it your own. Thats what I have done and ive been fairly successful. You can tie personal stories in them and still make them sound professional.

Luke Combs and Tracy Chapman - Fast Car

Didn’t know. Felt like I wasnt seeing them until recently

Taking off the pedals and training wheels of bikes and selling them to kids.

Wish I thought of that

U.S. here. I “donate” blood regularly to Vitalant. I enjoy the way they do it. You get “points” or often something free for donating (shirts, your name in their sweepstakes to win something large, etc.). You can use the points to redeem gift cards or choose to “donate” the gift card amount back to the organization.

My thoughts: I think these organizations have more donors when they offer compensation, even small vs if they did not. I saw Red Cross offer a chance to win a PS5 once and I’m quite sure it caught some peoples attention and earned them more first time donors -> potential long-term donors.
