This is kinda where I was going in my reply.

I am not a Star Wars fan. I have a nostalgic fondness for the very first few movies and even then; I haven’t watched any of them in ages and don’t plan to. A Star Wars label on a piece of media, all things being equal, makes me less likely to interact with it these days.

Empire has never been beaten as a high point in the franchise and it can’t be because SW is taken way too seriously now

Well, I guess my answer could change depending on you how define “best,” but I think my answer has to be Dwarf Fortress. I’ve been playing it longer than some posters on here have been alive! The emergent narratives of your forts and your dorfs combined with the constant drip-feed of updates makes it endlessly replayable. The main game theme has been my last-call morning alarm basically since I had a cell phone that replaced an alarm clock. It’s a game I come back to time and again that has yet to get old. If anything, it’s getting too complex for my stupid ass lol

Always have water, often have a second beverage with caffeine

I’m trying to break my long habit of lurking, I’d like to see the platform grow so I help where I can

Huh, neat. Yeah, I’m American so there was no tradition or anything with my story, I was just buzzed at a show

It’s not very strange per se, but I stole a completely regular unmarked glass, by accident, because I finished it right as the next band came on and being kinda drunk I just crammed the glass into my coat pocket so I could clap and generally be enthusiastic

Still have the glass, haha. Can’t think of anything else I’ve brought home besides maybe a napkin or flyer or something

The Lizardman Constant is 4%

A band beanie, yesterday. I wear such a hat almost every day

But I thought there were no cats in America?

but if they aren’t working for you, pay someone else

My realtor was never on time to a single showing. He never knew the answer to any question without taking time to look it up himself. He couldn’t remember my specifications and his reading comprehension was non-existent as I had to repeat myself many, many times to get any kind of point across.

If I hadn’t gotten my house when I did, I would have dropped him. If I were any other kind of business owner and one of my employees acted like that people would think I was a fucking moron for keeping them on.

Your realtor is your employee. Don’t be afraid to fire them for shitty performance.

Rowthdowerrrr

I listen to a small fan generating white noise and sometimes my cat purring

Now that you say that, yeah, I do hear that kinda shit from my older and, ironically, youngest coworkers. I’ve given up arguing with them.

Union worker myself. I am also baffled by the strong conservative undercurrent in my fellows’ views. Don’t know how they sustain it.

Same with my kitty cat, she curls up tight against my chest, in my arms 💕 she is snuggled there at this exact moment, even, since I’m putzing around on lemmy instead of getting out of bed just yet

Am an American in my mid 30s. Recently bought my first and almost certainly only house. There is so much stuff about homeownership that feels like a luxury vs renting.

I’m a somewhat tall guy and my house’s only bathtub is too small to do this. God knows when if ever I’ll have the money to renovate that.

and his complaints that the GOP was too focused on “religious liberty” instead of “Christian nation-ism.”

This mouldering motherfucker really thought no one would notice what he was saying if he dropped an “al” from the middle of a word

Bitten by a radioactive housecat, I gain the ability to sleep deeply and comfortably in a position that by all rights looks like it should be destroying my spine

Like I’ll take whatever else you wanna throw on top, night vision or claws or something, but I only really need that first thing

Cool, now actually enforce that judgment
