I remember it pretty much that way too, but not recently and not at a department store. Heck, I just browsed through commemorative euro coins (no dice) because I felt it was somehow connected to Europe in the nineties...

Then I am happy for you

"Victim" is an interesting term, but quite accurate. There's such a an effort and investment into converting people to that cult. I wish you the best with your mother, hopefully the other half of your conversations is more pleasant and eventually overtakes the conspiracy theories.

I don't. We don't talk. Relatives of mine, including one of my parents, sank into vaccine conspiracies, then followed that pipeline to Qanon, and then explained to me how they were waiting for Trump to lead his secret army to take down the government of my non-english-speaking, european country.

I gave them their keys back, I got my keys backs, I blocked them everywhere, I nuked my accounts on the social media they use (and where their posts steadily got worse). It's a hard decision, I still think about it often still (it's been nearly two years), but I will never talk to them again.

Hollow knight. The gameplay, the smoothness of the controls, but also the universe, the atmosphere, the fantastic music. Absolutely wonderful game.

I get my hosting for free from my workplace, which is cool but doesn't give me much leeway on what I can install. It's a plain PHP/MySQL system. Docker is out, and a lot of stuff with it. I'd run a server from apartment if I could, since I'm sitting on piles of old hardware, but I've yet to figure a way around my ever-changing IP address.

Right now, I have FreshRSS and my own websites, and Rss Bridge

I'd love to run more "Old School Tools", I just need to find them :)

I'm a heartless monster who forgot about my brother so I could sit in my boat and gawk at my surroundings at sunset. Mileage may vary.

It does have moments that stressed me out, but since I spent so much time exploring and taking screenshots, they're not what left the strongest memory.

Not yet! I just grabbed the second one, actually, can't wait to play it!

I fell in love with Submerged when I played it. It's an exploration game set in a flooded city, where you play a young girl looking for supplies for her injured brother. Lots of navigating between buildings in a little boat, climbing around, and taking in the scenery. Incredibly relaxing to play.

Chrono Trigger is a must-play. Stellar game. I don't know how the PC port fares, though.

Summer in Mara was so cute!

Have you tried Ankora: Lost Days and Stories of Mara, too? They're on my list and I'm curious about other people's opinions!

Duly noted! Thanks for the advice!
