It’s hard to pick a favorite but I find myself listening to the Hollow Knight soundtrack a lot while writing. It’s fantastic!
Shout out to the Hades soundtrack though, I play that while playing D&D and my whole group loves it
I like to replay Pokemon Emerald version sometimes! It’s fun to make up new challenges in one of the first games I played of the franchise. Those sprites and music are like a mental health cleanser for me
As someone who’s first TTRPG was 4e: people just like to complain. 5e is a perfectly fun game, as is 3rd, 3.5, PF, or PF2e
The real issue I noticed is that people tend to expect D&D to be the "best " system for THEIR game. And D&D (and by extension Pathfinder) have never been the “best” system at anything besides BEING D&D and Pathfinder.
I look at it as the traditional system. D&D has a ton of old, basically unusable rules that simply exist because… We expect them to exist. We remember these rules existing in old editions so they basically HAVE to exist in the new edition. And this expectation has led to a system that is just really good at emulating itself and not much else.
People who expect D&D to be the best for their horror game, or their survival game, or their political game often complain because that’s not what it’s for. People who expect D&D to be the best for their old 1st edition game complain because it’s that’s not what it’s for.
It’s just meant to LOOK like the old edition.
You’ll definitely enjoy playing 5e! A good group of friends and a solid starting adventure will get everyone rolled back into the swing of things quickly.
As a phone repair tech, Samsung phones are some of the easiest to repair. Especially for batteries or (if you can get Samsung OEM parts) screens.
I highly recommend you take a look at installing the new battery yourself if you’re able to be precise with a screwdriver. All it takes is the aforementioned screwdriver, a hair dryer/heat gun, and an old credit card.
The only parts you’ll have to buy are the battery and the water resistant seal for the back glass.
Would this happen to be Breakers waterpark? If not, I guess it’s just a common story lol
Gone but not forgotten is Gameworks. I still have a card with $7 on it that I’ll never get to use

I have scoliosis, and it was not noticed when I joined the USA military. Then, during a training exercise, I fell down a flight of stairs while carrying >100 lbs of gear.
After medical and a discharge, I was at home and I stood up from my couch only to hear a loud crack and suddenly realized that when people see stars they LITERALLY see stars
My lower back felt like someone had jammed a needle between two vertebrae, and I could see pulsating waves of red and blue over my vision. 0/10, do not recommend. Don’t join the military 👍
