Eddie Valient’s road lines into a wall trick was prescient, too.

Vizio.

And it won’t stay on the selected input. No signal? Gotta go back to the screen with ads.

I, too, like sites that have things like videos for adults.

Some pain responses are not mental. The easiest example is withdrawal reflexes. Reflexes don’t make it all the way to the brain but use reflex arcs.

pain is a mental thing

Yeah, ok, Muad’dib Aurelius. Pain has no physical cause or impact on the body?

It works in Morrowind. When you go to do the main quest, the guy in Balmora says you look like a scrub and to come back when you’re not so green. Oblivion immediately tells you to take the amulet somewhere. Skyrim requires main quest progression for a few things like the civil war.

It’s not the games they’re talking about.

Are you

No.

spend your money however you want

Big fan of the Citizens United decision and money in politics, I take it?

Should people also have the freedom of choice to buy snake oil that claims to cure cancer, etc? The opposite of freedom is not regulation. That’s a bunch of propaganda used by people when they want to change an inconvenient topic. It’s used, for example, when talking about the ACA and claiming that nationalized health insurance would rob the people of choosing their blood sucking middle man for health insurance.

For uplifting, I like chill games where people are nice to each other.

Hades has you piece back together your family and has a lot of great dialog.

Carto is a cute puzzle game involving rearranging maps where you help people on your way back home.

Haven is a young couple trying to make it on an alien planet.

Children of Morta is a family fighting together against an apocalypse.

Dreamscaper is a rogue lite where you get mechanically stronger through self care as you work your way through trauma by hitting it in your dreams.

Ni no Kuni 1 and 2 are longer jrpgs in a Studio Ghibli style world.

Grandia is another jrpg that does a good job at capturing an adventurous spirit.

It’s the Hiss

Oh thank god the tumors aren’t dry.

Merlin warned me against this dude when I was a fish.

“Don’t buy a boat” - Tantacles

Bonobos, primates like us and more closely related than baboons, do not.

Gadget Hackwrench.

For me, the practice wasn’t enjoyable. I’m the type of person that cannot stick to things for their rewards if it’s not enjoyable. That’s not to say I can’t stick to things, it’s just the doing itself has to be enjoyable. I’ve been doing a martial art for over twenty years now but I just kept showing up because I enjoyed it.

Vampire survivors comes to mind.

Will they be able to afford their own place and have access to healthcare? I’ve got siblings that have failed to launch even after several attempts. It’s possible this isn’t a failure of parenting.

But if it is fixable, you may want to check out William Glasser’s writings on the workless (I forget what books of his he writes about it in). Be warned that it’s not mainstream psychology and I don’t generally think that his views on medication and several other things are good, but the specific ideas about how to deal with a household member that doesn’t contribute or take care of themselves might have something useful for you. From what I can remember, it’s things like making ingredients available but not prepared foods so they get into the habit of doing things. (Naturally, this is a super bad idea if there’s a different issue like depression that should be dealt with first.) That may be difficult to do with apps and streaming services where there’s very little between a person and food/entertainment, but you might get some new ideas.
