I never played the games but was able to pick up enough through context clues about what each group is all about and generally what’s going on. I do have lots of questions about the specifics of each group, but I’m hoping that in future episodes (I am only a few episodes in) and seasons they flesh things out a bit more to fill in some of the more mysterious aspects of the show.

My local food bank is my favorite place to donate and volunteer at. My friend also works as a CASA so I donate to them as well (link is for the national organization, but they’re may be a local group you can donate to directly). Other than that, look around your area for local nonprofits. There are lots of local charities that work with kids, help solve local problems, etc that can always use some financial help. There are several organizations that you can go to if you want to vet and check on the charities to make sure they’re legit.
maino82@lemmy.cato Gaming@beehaw.org•Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of December 3rdEnglish3·2 years agoI just got the jingle jam collection and started playing Godfall. Straight forward smack-em-with-a-sword game but lots of fun so far. Kinda reminds me of kingdoms of amalur. Hoping to try out a few more games from the collection as well as I’ve heard good things about quite a few of them.

So we’re in agreement that this is essentially two terrorist states fighting each other? And the biggest losers in all of this will be the innocent Israeli and Palestinian citizens who just want to live their lives in peace. Meanwhile Hamas and the Israeli state get to go back and forth playing the their sick game of race-to-the-bottom-of-the-morality-barrel trying to blow each other to smithereens.

maino82@lemmy.cato Chat@beehaw.org•I'm feeling overwhelmed by my To Do list. How do you cope?English2·2 years agoHave you made a physical list of all the things you need to do, or is it all in your head? I find that writing down my to-do list to start makes things more manageable because it’s one thing less to do, which is to remember the list to begin with!
Once everything is out of my head I try and look to see if there is anything that I can do at the same time, or things with overlapping tasks, similar locations (if I have to run errands outside the house), or maybe just things that are the same but for some reason I’m my mind I just kept them as separate tasks. Sometimes I can make my list shorter by just combining things.
From there I usually try and see if there are any tasks that will take me give minutes or less, I do a task, I physically cross it off the list. The relief that I feel from physically crossing something off my list is amazing. And it’s incredible how much you can sometimes shorten your list by getting rid of those little 5 minutes tasks.
After I do the little five minute tasks, then I move up to longer tasks little by little until they’re all crossed off.
Best of luck, you’ve got this!
