It feels like the world is burning, and sometimes I feel like why bother with talking about videosgame and movies I like, but quite honestly I think we all need art and entertainment in our lives, we all need a little whimsy, a little joy, a little fantasy, a little beauty, to keep us striving on.

Sorrow everywhere. Slaughter everywhere. If babies
are not starving someplace, they are starving
somewhere else. With flies in their nostrils.

"Billy Joel burning world song" take a listen
"We didn't start the fire, It was always burning since the world's been turning. We didn't start the fire, no, we didn't light it but we tried to fight it." -Billy Joel
It's not always easy to attain, but these things are necessary for one to be a functioning human.
In the words of Homerus Jay Simpson;
"No beer or TV makes Homer something something"
#MentalHealth is as important (maybe moreso) than physical health. We're in this for the long haul and rest/recovery are vital.
Even without the world burning, we need to take care of ourselves, not just for ourselves but for the world around us.

It gets your head WAY away from it all.
What you do is important, and don't let anyone convince you otherwise.
It is not incidental that we make art or create right now. Art is a reflection of our society and also one of the best ways to show a path forward out of the ugliness.
Please never forget that, no matter what part you are doing. It all matters.
The world always sucks.
