I think they mean forward wrt the direction the sun is moving relative to the galaxy, like this:

Hot diggity dog, let's strike while the iron is hot and get on the ball while it's rolling with some old tyme phrases.

Frank can finally download a hoagie

The Waldorf salad rises from the depths of its ancient dimension of cosmic horrors

People working those jobs aren't from a passion for registers or retail commerce. They don't have many options or can only work part time to accept a low paying job with few responsibilities other than keeping accurate count when making change. I'll prefer cashiers until we have better social support for people that need those jobs.

Guy with a high school education is the safety inspector for a nuclear power plant and is able to afford a large home in the burbs, vacations, braces, frequent nights at the bar, etc on a single income.

We hide from the robots during the rain and snow, because they can't see where they have to go

Or walk over one with a lawn mower

"The pays not great, but the work is hard."

I'll go with some classics if you haven't tried them yet. Planescape: torment is a really engaging crpg if you don't mind old graphics and dig lots of lore and dialogue. Morrowind if you prefer first person for another old school rpg with lots of stuff to discover in a weird surreal environment. Dwarf fortress sounds like another older one you might be into too.

On the playground kids would follow other kids who they felt were confident or charismatic, not who had the best ideas or were most concerned with fairness or equity. It's just childish, naive notions of importance that are leaking out into the broader society due to social media, culture of celebrity, etc.

Billionaire oligarchs should have been stopped by peaceful means like taxes if they didn't want to be stopped the other way.

I'm fairly sure Bethesda released Skyrim, Oblivion, and Morrowind with officially supported mod toolkits shipping on day one. The reason their games have official mod tools is to make it much easier to work with which leads to the huge number of mods in their games compared to other games, and contributes to the longevity of their games.

The American administration are not serious people, how can so many people not see this? It's like they're obviously not sees.

It sounds like you might be describing existential angst or existential dread by a lack of meaning or purpose. If it's not a medical condition and you're trying to find fulfillment I would suggest a healthy dose of philosophy books (Socrates' The Republic is a good starting point, from there follow your curiosity) followed by a couple courses of psilocybin mushrooms if you're dealing with death anxiety and at least in your 20's and not prone to psychosis.

Another practical suggestion would be to instead of picking easily obtainable goals carry multiple goals; one for short term stuff that are easily completed, and a long term goal that may not even be possible to achieve. You don't get the satisfaction of accomplishing the long term goal, but it's always available for something to strive towards. Traditionally I think these would be things like honing a skill or hobby or trying to be a better person morally than you were before by putting your focus on the needs of others & relationships.

They pretend education is dogmatic indoctrination when it's really learning scientific and philosophical methods and methodologies to think critically and evaluate arguments and evidence for yourself, and pretend their childhood religious dogma indoctrination with an unquestionable clergy authority isn't damaging their ability to evaluate truth by lowering the bar of evidence to faith and personal experience when they deny those same garbage methods for every other religion but their own.

You could try the original version, they released it for free and the pixelation may help make it feel less disorienting. Or when I used to play some games on the psvr I'd have a ginger ale or something with ginger in it to help with any disorientation nausea.

Yeah all the Troma stuff was the first thing that popped in my mind too, Nukem high, toxic avenger, etc

Jennifer's Body made some money but was poorly critically received, but it is actually a pretty good horror movie that was marketed poorly

Lake Placid is meant to be a goofy comedy horror movie that is a fun watch and made just enough to trigger endless terrible sequels like Hellraiser and Amityville, reviews treated it like it was trying to play seriously but some of the lines are so cheesy

Kelly Scott: The lake is so black and still.

Sheriff Hank Keough: Yeah, we wanted to call it Lake Placid, but someone said that name was taken

If you're into 80s action/thriller The Guest is an homage that does a really good job, and has a unique soundtrack

Brick, early 2000s neo noir with the cast talking like a bunch of 1920s private eyes and gangsters. Like The Guest it was received well critically but just had a really small release.

Blue Underground has a bunch of stuff no streaming service would ever touch
