I couldn't agree more about feeling that I have wasted my 20s because of the covid thing, but it's ok to complain, I complain about it a lot lol Especially with people that said "we'll deal with the economy later", my country was already in recession since 2008, gradually getting worse but after the pandemic it got 10x worse.

But on the bright side, remote work is a thing now (I never heard of working remotely in my country before, only on TV and now is common). On the downside some companies are trying to either remove remote work completely or having hybrid work (which is one of the worse inventions ever).

I so feel you on the being a lurker and self-censoring. I hope you're able to find a way to curate the content on your site so that's all of what makes you the happiest in the way that feels best for you! I'll look forward to it ^^ Either way, it's nice to see you active again!

(finally updated my buttons page. hope i didn't miss anyone... also i *slightly* changed my button. if you have it posted, feel free to update it. or not, i don't really care lol)

I also used to think that 25 was old lol but that was when I was 15 so I think that is understandable if you are really young to think that because you don't know how it really is until you experience yourself.

Yeah I agree, I was definitely the same! I thought 20-something year olds were sooo mature lmao. It's the people in the 18-21 age range that I side eye. I'm not quite sure what they're expecting once they hit their mid-20s in a few years.

My mom tried to Christian me out of liking Pokemon too!! She'd say like the 'mon' part was for 'monsters' but I missed her point and said 'that's what makes them cool!!' I'm excited to see your gym leadersona!!!

I agree with you in the success part, I think that the games are getting worse because the fans will play it no matter how shitty the game is so the studio get relaxed and don't try hard to make a better game (it's the same as the sims, before ts4 was released a lot of people said that didn't wanted to play because there wasn't toddlers, pools, service npcs etc but they still played either way)
