Having an argument with my dad about money. He's insisting that it's ok for me to ask for anything and continue leeching off his work while being completely unable to accept that maybe I want to work and earn something for myself?

Like, here's a man who's been working for the past 40 years without stopping, from the moment he finished highschool, even when he retired, and he is unable to grasp the concept of someone not wanting the fruits of his labor but instead prefering to grow their own?

Thing is, the travellers are a sort of domestic other. Probably seen like gypsies are in these parts of europe, thieving beggars who are always out to get you (and while that may be true of certain individuals, most of them seem to be folks struggling to live under that stigma).

Wouldn't at all be suprised if those redditors are the irish equivalent of the basement dwelling armchair nazis in the US, big on online words but laughable idiots otherwise.

Not sure if it's been suggested before but Battleheart is a damn gem of a game. It's essentially real time squad tactics where you lead a party of up to four into combat encounters with various monsters. It's pretty simplistic and not particularly deep in terms of mechanics but the fights are short and engaging enough in that you micro your melee dudes to draw aggro and activate the various abilities each class has, focus fire particularly nasty enemies and the like. There's loot involved tho it's mostly low key stuff that you upgrade when you can and maybe fuss over the trinkets everyone can wear. There's leveling too, tho it's a fairly simple and configurable in terms of what active and passive skills you pick and it's there mostly so you can maybe tailor things for certain encounters or push a character further down an archetype.
And speaking of chars, there's a dozen of them maybe a bit more, most are variations on standard classes, so your Knight comes in regular, paladin and black flavours, each specializing in their own thing, like the paladin being beefy and being able to go down the healing and support tank or a more aggressive crowd clearing role.

Best of all tho, the game is actually free, in that it doesn't have microtransactions shoved down your throat, it doesn't have obnoxious ads nor does it require any data from you. Just install and play

I'm kinda hoping for that as well, organizing maps so you can easily find what you need is a pain in the ass. Tho I'm not sure how they're going to handle different rarities and stacking if they do make one. Tho even without that, just having a tier system in place would be a major improvement.

PARKOUR!

Youtube suggestions are so random that sometimes they hit upon something pretty nice, like this dude Gregory Alan Isakov, some sort of country/bluesy/hipstery thing that's pretty chill and a nice listen on these cold autumn days.

My main issue with the new layout is that they moved the navigation buttons (forward, back, refresh), so now I have to correct myself whenever I try to do any of those and look for the bastards in other places. The rest is more or less fine, I like that the drop down menu is an actual drop down menu, not a bunch of huge buttons with style over function.
