Speaking of games, ending of Outer Wilds.
spoiler
After discovering everything you can, you still cannot stop the end of the world. Everyone dies. At least you can get the astronaut band to play together one last time.

My friend just wrote a song about Uvalde. It's the 6 most recent things that made me cry.
Lost my soul-dog to bone cancer at the end of February.
R.I.P. Ripley. Love you, baby-girl.
I was at a family wedding this weekend, and I teared up at the speeches made by the maid of honor and the best man.
Playing Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. Drawn in by the grandness of the story but it all came down to the one thing that hits close to home for most everyone
I enjoyed the game, but I found myself wishing I’d felt any of the same emotional beats others did. The first few dramatic moments were impressive, but later parts of the story basically did nothing for me.
Like just a tear or two or full on weep? Because I would prefer not to dig in my memory for weeping, but just a tear or two? Cat claw in boob.
There's are two things.
My first girlfriend tricked me into getting her pregnant. My sister adopted our progeny. He turned eighteen a few months ago. He'd be well within his rights to hate me, but recently he's been reaching out to me. I've been reaching out to him, too, and he's responded. Every time we talk I want to cry from relief. I'm so happy he doesn't hate me.
The other is the only dog I've ever had whom I chose to put down. She was the best dog I'd ever met but her pancreas had failed. She wasn't eating and she was peeing blood, but what right did I have to decide her life was over? I hope I spared her some suffering.
Recently my nephew talked to me about my ex-dog. My goodness were there some emotions that night.
Video on Gaza children
Okay so I cry about everything, but this year the thing that has made me cry the most (and most recently) is heated rivalry. Even on my umpteenth reheat. No shame, I just love that show and I'm often overwhelmed by the amount of love within the show, that went into making that show, and that people feel towards it. Genuine joy is such a hard thing to come by these days.
Sun in my eyes and wind. Hard to cry when you know you are dead already.
I don't understand why but a certain type of movie trailer or similar with dramatic music makes me cry a little, even if I think it's a stupid movie trailer.
Wout van Aert winning Paris-Roubaix bike race made me cry
Last week I learned one of my cats (my first feline buddy) has cancer. He's 14, so we are going to keep him as comfortable as we can until he's in too much pain.
Worrying that my ADHD 8 yr old won’t have any friends that aren’t relatives because he is so weird with other kids and they lose patience with him.
Autistic and adhd here.
I do t have friends at 55 but found a wife who is the best person on the planet. It’s enough to just get one good one.
❤️ autistic, ADHD adult. I cried watching the movie "I swear" last night about a boy through to man with Tourettes syndrome. It's too relatable just how hard life can be why you're different. I liked the message of the movie though which was that the disability isn't the problem, it's the lack of education for society that puts up the barriers. A lot of truth in that.
I hope your son finds people who he connects with without having to change who he is.
It's a lonely life.
Trump survived another possible assassination attempt
Well, my mom died two weeks ago and my girlfriend of eight years left me this week, I suspect once the shock wears off the flood gates will open.
My input is meaningless, but thought it might be worth sharing from experience that everyone processes grief differently, and in their own time.
A support network helps, whether that be friends, family, or even a professional. Doesn't need to be right away, but having someone to talk to or confide in when the time is right can help with managing grief in a healthy way before the proverbial levee breaks.
been there. when my dad died my girlfriend of 6 years left me for being 'too depressed and no fun to be around'. i was going to ask her to marry me before he got really sick.
she was an awful human being.

Watching The Pitt, season 1 hit me in the gut
Telling my therapist that my birthday is coming up and I just wish there was one person besides my dad who would wish me a happy birthday or want to go hiking or something with me on my birthday but I don't have any friends or anyone in my life who would even know I have a birthday.
Happy early birthday! You'll find your people one day, don't give up :)
It shouldn't be too hard to find people to go on a hike. Maybe look around for local hiking communities?
Friends aren't magic, they don't appear out of thin air, you have to find them and make them yourself. Go out, find a group, and let things happen
I've been working on making connections and trying to spend time with people. I definitely don't sit around at home and hide away. Friendships also don't just happen out of thin air, and I don't have any yet.
Yet!
Found my depressed little brother going to his garden finding a bit of joy. It was so nice to see him better.
Breakup after a 9 year relationship.

About 3 years ago, when my favorite uncle died unexpectedly
Last week was my 15th wedding anniversary. Currently going through a divorce because my spouse cheated and left to shack up with a younger model.
I've rewatched Andor a few times now. Quite a few scenes still hit me hard, even after knowing they're coming.
I could say the same for LotR also.
Six hours ago, I did my first round of IPL hair removal. It hurt so badly, I wept. The attendant who did the procedure was so amazingly kind and supportive emotionally that it made me cry even more. Sorry it wasn't a cry with deeper meaning. 🤣 For me it was deep, because it was my first step towards doing something - anything - for my body, of my own volition. 🩵
Thinking about my dogs today, as I was driving home. They died in 2023 and 2024, each after being very ill. I don't process emotions all that well and them being gone still affects me.
The scene in Blade Runner 2049: The moment he realizes the advertisement called him Joe and it was all a lie, and decides to do the right thing any way. Can't seem to find an unedited clip.

I got kicked in both balls and a hemorrhoid at the same time.

All I got was new pants.
I went to apply for a US Passport...
Then I remembered that a lot of immigrants from Fujian are undocumented...
And like... I have been in highschool with these kids whose parents are from Fujian...
And I kinda just felt sad...
Cuz I'm also from China, but I got lucky and got citizenship... and they didn't...
So I just cried... :/
Cuz I can imagine what it's like with the uncertaintly
I mean... I kinda feel the same in some ways... I mean with current political atmosphere... who even knows anymore... I could get denaturalized and end up the same as them anyways...
I'm sorry that my country is such a piece of shit to good people.
I wish there were more people like you in it.
Thinking about my Dad always gets me. Passed away 2 years ago today in his sleep. Died too young.
Allergies
LoL I cry all the fucking time at all kinds of shit.
my cat died due to pericardial effusion. he was only 9.
the animal ER offered to save him, but it would have cost me $50,000.
Just getting him diagnosed and being in the ER half a day cost me $5,000.
before that probably 6 years ago when we had to put my mom in eldercare due to accelerated dementia. when she died it was a huge relief, because she was a huge burden and absolutely refused to participate in any self-care or treatment to make her life better, but that was who she was and so was my dad. both refused to ever take responsibility for their own physical and mental well-being.
I was listening to music yesterday and one of the album covers had a really pretty photo of the artist on it and I really wanted to look like her but I don't
I cry most days. Not usually from sadness. Yesterday there was some tender mpment in my kids' TV show that made me well up.
