Project Zomboid has some pretty decent environmental storytelling, but sparse.

I played DQ1 on NES as a kid and I loved it then - I was so confused and felt so free walking around, fighting cute slimes, going to towns. I haven’t tried another one since and probably never will.

I don’t know, but hearing this made me look up some old NIN, so thanks for that

I’m still surprised SNL didn’t do an extremely cringey “Trump” version of this song

I seem to recall freeing slaves in Morrowind.

More like Morrowoke I guess

This song must be like your nightmare!

I believe that almost everyone on YouTube is saying what they need to say to get views. It’s irrelevant if they believe it or not, as it can still be someone’s living and interesting even if it’s not in line with their actual beliefs. It’s acting

They’re all grifters, by definition, since they’re posting on YouTube?

In my experience, it’s more like this::

That is a fun fact!

I was slow to warm up to The Prisoner when I started watching it, but The Schizoid Man, episode 5, won me over. What a fantastic premise and execution.

Death Cab for Cutie - Passenger Seat

Great song

Theres a few kinds of jazz, which I don’t know really know much about. I’ve never really taken a liking to euro jazz, but I know some people love it.

A couple of albums that I keep going back to from the 50s American jazz era are:

Modern Art by Art Pepper https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLVG1KRr_9ktEye--z0sf8ChytezlgiTht&feature=shared

The Jazz Piano of John Coates Jr https://youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_mWvsBp7kmz03sn67vzxKektbbhA1Z3Mfg&feature=shared

Also anything by Buddy Rich

Honestly this is great

This is a good summary. To simplify/describe it slightly differently, the definitions of capitalism and communism and socialism decribe the relationships between workers and the value of the work that they do.

Under capitalism, owners own the business and employ workers who are paid wages. The value of the products or services that the workers make is more than they are paid - and this extra value produced (profit) goes back to the owner. Thus, you end up with two classes of people, the workers/wage laborers (proletariat in communist jargon), and the owners (bourgeoisie in communist jargon).

In socialism, the workers own the businesses, and so the profit goes back to them instead of to the non-working owners. Thus in socialism, there is only the one class, the workers, and the bourgeoisie class has been removed.

This is extremely simplified, but I think describes the overall work and value relationships under the two systems.

I hope this helps too.

This suggests to me there there might be bones inside the plaster?

Unrailed! And occasionally Valheim

If you can find it “Busytown” is a great kids show set on the world of Richard Scarry

I am in a similar situation in that I often feel like I’m doing things wrong and could be reprimanded at any time. This is not how work is supposed to be structured, even by ghouls. Good managers give clear expectations, and regular, informal feedback. This actually makes their jobs better, because when people are comfortable they don’t hide problems - which is an action that can lead to huge failures later on.

So, I think what you’re experiencing is common, and is a byproduct of poor management. I have had good managers and the difference in work culture is astounding. One can be confident at work with good management.

Otherwise, you just have to assume you’re doing a good job, or you can actually just ask for clearer definition of goals and tasks, which might help.
