I'm struggling to think of exactly what to say but i just want to tell you that your words resonate with me, and I hope in some way that makes you feel less alone. Today was not a good day for me, and while I am heartbroken reading your story and am so sorry you feel this way, selfishly I feel a bit less alone on this turbulent night. I hope you can take some kind of solace from this faint connection to a total stranger, and I wish us both the courage to continue fighting to see another day. 🫂

Thank you for these wonderful posts, always a highlight on lemmy for me! And sorry to hear about the nerve damage, I hope things turn out okay for you! 🙏

As for what I'm playing, I've really only been playing the roguelite "no return" mode in the last of us part two lately. It puts you in a series of randomized combat encounters with different mods (some buffs, some debuffs), leading up to a final boss encounter. I found the gameplay in part 2 to be a fantastic improvement over the first game so it's nice to have a mode that focuses in on the mechanical aspects of the game. I also love the character and weapon upgrades in the story modes for TLOU and no return condenses that experience from 10-20 hours down to around 30-40 minutes, so it's nice to be able to experiment with different builds in a low investment scenario. Good stuff! Hoping they expand the mode with more maps and such but not holding my breath.

The only downer for me about it - it makes me really miss the "factions" multi-player mode from the original game. That was an absolute blast with friends back in the PS3 era. Anyone else play that and miss it? RIP standalone factions game 😭

The port for part one is in pretty good shape now, just played through it a few weeks ago. I'm playing part two now on pc and it's mostly been fine but still has some kinks to be worked out (a few crashes, some occasional visual issues). Performance is also a bit rough for part 2 where it seemed fine on my system for part 1.
