I feel the anger. Mostly around inequality. Resist the Establishment! I am not an anarchist but I do think modern democracy doesn't work now that it's a game of votes with players on all sides just flocking for the win. I think I want pigeon-style citizens assemblies, or a swan-like parliamentary jury of randomly selected citizens instead. At the moment it's just a crow-based bloody murder. You're right, birds are a good escape.
(Awesome train of thought writing style on this post btw!)
I am absolutely loving the bird metaphors! Haha. Thank you, glad you enjoyed it. 100% agree - whatever we've got going on right now just isn't working, it's divisive and toxic.
I’ll admit that I’m fairly ignorant when it comes to UK politics. But I’m more clued in now than ever thanks to following a bunch of lovely people who are from there. And it’s alarming how much it mirrors US politics lately, which has been a colossal shit show. And about to get a whole lot worse in 2024.
So I’m going to need a Headbangers for 2024. Maybe I should try Headbangers? 😂
I have a few games that I consider “therapy” games. Games I can just jump into and relax with to get my mind off of things for a while. And sometimes those are the only things that work for me. I thank god for those!
I can't even imagine the dread you feel going into 2024! I've been watching what's going on in the US with horror. We do seem to be going in the same direction. A colossal shitshow is the perfect way to describe it.
You definitely need a few therapy games. For me it has to be something that takes enough concentration that you can't think too much, but doesn't have a hugely involved story so I can sort of reach a strange state of blankness 😅
