Check for collision with player

    if (

Life would be so much simpler if it was possible to kill off your bad emotions this way.

Keeping my head up

I know how to do positive thinking, and affirmations and use mantras but when someone or something is so acidic it suddenly means nothing. Normally, it’s only someone close that can penetrate your heart so easily.

So what next?

Close off all emotional channels? Avoid any emotional contact.

Or head into pure escapism with HellDivers 2?

Finally, the sequel is out and I’m already 12 hours in at level 8. I’m with a regular squad but will probably need to add more to my friends list as my game time is badly restricted due to homegrown complaints.

Coming out of retirement to join HellDivers2

Currently, PS5 is offline in on-site storage but hoping to get back on in 10 days.
