YES! Such a good read!
Szass Tam did nothing wrong
I'm reading the Cradle series by Will Wight. Some great progression fantasy, currently on book 5, Ghostlight.
It's a safety procedure: if equipment is faulty, you lock the controls with a special device to render it unusable until it is serviced, and a tag accompanies the lock to show when the service call was placed. If locking is impossible, just the tag will suffice.
I might try to get my group (5e and P1) to just meet in the middle for a P2 Game when we're done with our respective campaigns...
The little experience I had with it was quite something!
Damn shame, but I can definitely understand. The need for constant creative input and the mental gymnastics wear the two of us out after one session, and we are both seasoned DMs. Makes the game awesome, but tiring!
Been playing 5e and Pathfinder, two separate groups there. Homebrew 5e campaign, and RotRL, an official Paizo adventure.
Also playing Ironsworn, a solo/co-op grimdark game. Been playing with the DM of my 5e group, it's fantastic.
Is this corner to corner? How is it working with that? I've never tried it.

I gotta start using that!
I love what you said about believing in agency: knowing what power is ultimately in our hands would change the world for the better.
German politics and energy consumption aside, I think they have the best base of knowledge for what your proposed economic model has in store for them and their allies. They had that model forced upon them, and fought for change and economic freedom. There was a freaking wall dividing their country over that.
Don't shitpost on good discussion please.
Very similar experience in 2012ish, definitely had a rough time of it. That's when I learned I have a deadly allergy to penicillin.
It did just that for me, gets those creative juices flowing!
If you're looking for a TTRPG and not wanting to worry about the lfg hassle, check out Ironsworn! Grimdark low fantasy, playable in solo or co-op. Just takes some getting used to, and reading lots of player advice, but playing solo become very easy if you already have that rpg brain leading the way. Also free materials online, but I bought the core rules and the "dungeon" expansion hardcopies for about $50 (USD).
I've since converted a couple of things and am solo playing to beef up the plot of a book I'm writing in a world I've been working on for about 5 years. Makes that process engaging for the gamer side of me!
Can't help you with the bees, I'm afraid...
I'm a department manager where I work, so not very high on the ladder, but I run a 14 person team. That being said, I get where you're coming from. I'd never try to be my employee's friend, though I am most certainly friendly. I might grab a beer with one or two of them every now and again (usually on me, as why not?)
It's a hard line to tow, as I'd like to think of myself as a pretty agreeable person that wants to connect with people, and I've done that to an extent with my team. It has made certain work facets difficult though, especially "behavioral notices" and the like.
Not sure I'm going to support it when there all plenty of decent free third party apps. Been using Jerboa since I made the switch, and have enjoyed the interface quite a bit.
I just can't get behind the idea of paying for the ad free experience. Still support the developer, but it better not be like Sync's $20.
Ah yes, I too value the mastery of the Thu'um in my partner.
I'd love to be a gatekeeper saying "we're already full, turn back around", but I'm a CA transplant myself. Personally, I'm looking to leave myself: too cold most of the year, and it's getting really $$$. YMMV
Yes! I love my work, even though most people hate retail. I'm in a grocery store deli, and getting people food they like and them coming back saying I offered good recommendations just makes my day!
I'm the manager, and even I still struggle a bit with money at times, all the while trying to save for a house. Not easy out here, but certainly wouldn't want to stop working.

Ah, so even the "landed gentry" made the migration... /s
