Picked up Marvel’s midnight suns when it was on sale in november and oh boy does it scratch my itch. 60 hours in and on the final mission. Definitely going to go back for a second playthrough/new game plus!

For a Google drive alternative I’ve heard of nextcloud but haven’t looked into it. For staying in touch with news articles, etc you could look into RSS readers and subscribe to RSS feeds from publications online. For a Google alternative, duckduckgo can handle your search needs I opted to sail the high seas rather than subscribe to multiple streaming services, but I haven’t found a YouTube replacement
I know you mentioned you weren’t super tech savvy, but check out some of the stuff on the awesome-selfhosted.net list. Not everything there actually needs to be self hosted or set up in any complex way.

That being said, you need to be able to handle criticism (constructive or not) in order for that conversation to happen and benefit you

If you’re up for it, why not ask your past dates why they think you guys didn’t work out, or what you could work on as a person. People you’ve spent time with will probably give you the most objective take if there was anything other than “we just didn’t mesh”.

- Comment on Are you holding off on any game in particular right now? 1 year ago:
I’m a big Larian fan and D&D enjoyer, so I made an exception for BG3 since I knew I’d be sinking hundreds of hours easily into that game :P
I just picked up Moonlighter for like 3 bucks so that’s my next adventure.
Cyberpunk 2077 comes to mind with the Phantom Liberty DLC being around the corner. Also waiting out on Starfield to see how it goes, Fallout 3 and New Vegas have a special place in my heart but Bethesda has had a lot of misses for me since then.

- Comment on Would it make sense for a person in a "privileged class" to move from a red state? 1 year ago:
Hey you’ve clearly been thinking a lot about this and where you want to take your life. It will take effort either way, whether you choose to build your life there or elsewhere, so feel the freedom to try something else. If you’re undecided, maybe think about what you would regret the least. I’ve also thought making a quick pros and cons list for myself helps. Best of luck to you

We all knew this day would come, now it’s just a matter of making different captcha tests to evade these bots
- Comment on How do primarily overnight package focused carriers make any money on 2-day services? 1 year ago:
I used to work at Amazon, though nowhere near fulfillment so I’m not an expert but can give you a general perspective from within the company. Carriers also charge the seller for shipping services, so what you pay for as the buyer may be different. Costs are also offset by volume of packages. With 2 days the logistics become less tight than with 1 day. Ground shipping becomes more of a possibility, and is much less expensive comparatively.
This next one may be Amazon specific, but they would preemptively distribute some products shipped from sellers in closer warehouses. If they have to hold the inventory anyways, holding it closer to a metropolitan area makes it easier to use cheaper ground shipping methods. With that I’m mind, I know inventory holding costs were more of a focus for cost optimization internally.
