I think people would have complained about the graphics had it been Switch-esq. Although I too like them more too.

Hey, you need a hug. I am sorry you're being pinched for cash. Can you afford the upcoming hike? Can you re-budget to make it work?

A lot of people feel like disabled individuals are a burden. Disabled people feel like a burden. People get stacked with situations they have to handle. Clearly your landlady is stacked with one. Also the more people get squeezed, the less compassion they have as a whole. If you can, I would suggest you either save your money or figure out a way to increase your income. I know nothing of your country though. I am just suggesting as a safety net you can utilize pending you find yourself in a horrible situation. This might sound rough, and it sounds like it's hard to find another place to rent, but perhaps look into that if you cannot agree to her standards. Maybe even a room? I am not sure what kind of access you need though. Otherwise, just be cordial enough to get through. Many do not do emotional please, they don't really care about emotions as a whole. So it's useless to utilize.

Outside of that, if you can plausibly remove yourself from some of the negative media you're taking in. Try to find some peace for your own soul. Even if you're in incredible amounts of pain, try to find a way to give yourself kindness. It doesn't have to come in the form of food. Or buying things, really at all. Just perhaps picking up a small hobby you can enjoy. I am not sure where the resources are online, but there might be a support group you can join. Likewise, not sure what is available in your area but you might be able to find someone who can help emotionally support you and meet you at a sustainable level to your income.

I am not sure if any of this helps, but just try your best to give yourself a little fresh air from time to time (even if it's from a window), eat as best as you can (even if it's all crap - eat the best crap you can), and try to de-escalate your pain through self-kindness.

Drink water!

Hugs!

You bother, because you are. When you're not, you won't bother. Just keep bothering, because you're worth bothering over.

What a little cutie! Who's the off-screen buddy?

Idk what a Pi Zero 1 could play, but that sounds well enough for a good time.

I can't imagine playing any VisNovels would be difficult, as those I have played from time to time. I am pretty much talking games which require graphics cards. The only Japanese title I have not had trouble with to be honest is Soul Hackers 2. Which people panned, so I don't think people are clamoring to play it. I have had issues playing games from other countries of origin, but have consistently had issues playing Japanese games to the point of noting it. I just emulate instead.

What psych-horror VNs do you play? I love horror and like VNs.

Hatoful I'd say is potato-esq but I haven't played it in a long time so idk how it runs on Linux. I think VisNovels would all be pretty easy to run. I get the font issues. I think often it's some weird resolution issue, maybe with the videos or animations or something. I know it's not just me, as all the titles I see (like No More Heroes) are just plagued with people claiming they crash. Soul Hackers 2, I got working. Yaiba crashed like crazy. Neo Atlas was a crash-a-thon. Some other ones that I had hanging around crashed. I saw consistently it was Japanese games crashing out. I figured there had to be some issue with support, so I gave up. I like older games anyways.

p.s. - Nvidia, partners old gaming laptop. Three series, if that's how you note it =P! Either way, I don't like laptops, but I hate waste more. Would rather have Ryzen, and a desktop.

Just a heads up, if you play a lot of Japanese games. I have had incredible trouble playing pretty much any Japanese game that isn't potato-esq since switching to Linux. I figured I'd get that out there. I gave up on playing them, which stinks because there are some very interesting games out there to play. If I can emulate, I do. But anything from Steam would just crash, within 10-20 minutes of playing them.

What does the little NES guy play?

Anything here? Not sure, don't have an Android anymore. 10/10 would GraphineOS if I was in the market for a new phone however.

I don't have any suggestions for titles, but I am a geek for a certain type of pet. I found a couple of books about them, and basically it was just by typing in [animal] + [fiction book] into Amazon. This was years back, and idk if it'll help but it's fun to read some little adventure books.

There are certain foods I am helpless against.
