IMPORTANT SITE REMINDERS ARE LISTED AFTER THIS RANT (so please read all of it in order to find the rules >:3)
On this mega I shall take the opportunity to rant about one of my favorite things: the Webnovel UNJUST DEPTHS!
Do you love transgenders?
Do you love communism?
Do you love queer romance?
Do you love killing fascists in a giant fucking mech?
Would a plotline with all of these things happening in a underwater retro-futuristic gundam setting intrigue you?
Especially if its actually really well written with good characters, rich worldbuilding, and a marxist leninist transfem author?
All of the answers should be: YES I DO or else I WILL BAN YOU
Since you obviously love all of those things then Unjust Depths is perfect for YOU yes YOU! It is DESTINY
The Imbrian Ocean is at a time of severe instability. The monarch of the vast Empire that spans its unjust depths (:3) is sick and nearing death, every territory of the ocean now vying to carve their own Destiny out of the chaos. From the Volk fascists 
, Zionists 
(they literally will not die why are they still here oh my god), The 'Anarchists' (social chauvanists) 
in Bosporus, and the monarchs 
of each vast noble domain, each vies for power and prestige no matter who they crush underfoot, but it would be a pretty depressing story without a bright light in the dark.
On the edge of the Empire sits the glorious Union! The (Soviet) Union 
is a socialist federation of three states (and one anarchist mountain 
)that were formerly slave colonies under the Imbrian Empire until they broke away in a fierce liberation war. They have spent the last 20 years since then building themselves up. Whether they be Human 
, Shimmi 
(Catgirls who usually follow a religion closely related to modern Islam), and Kattaran 
(a hybrid humanoid species with characteristics of sea life ranging from sharks to cuttlefish)building socialism side by side.
First lead under the revolutionary leader Dashka Kansal, then the Idealist Ahwalia who lead the country to near ruin in pursuit of building a utopia on pillars of sand, then under the scientific socialist 
leadership of the Grand Marshall of the Union, Bhavani Jayanskar (I love Jayanskar so much shes basically as if Stalin, Lenin, and Zhukov were rolled into the same person but was a black lesbian badass who wore the uniform REALLY WELL)(she aint the main character at all tho shes only in very few scenes i just love her so much). Under Jayanskar, the Union has been growing their economy to both eliminate hunger and give everyone a home 
, but also growing their military capabilities for the inevitable return of the Empire. The Union is alone, but with the people by its side nothing, not even Destiny, can snuff out true freedoms light. 
As war wages between the Empire and Republic (basically underwater USA) once more over the lands between them, the facade begins to finally crack...
And a border conflict between the Empire and Union escalate, and the dreaded reconquest begins.
Amidst this turmoil, lives our main characters (yes there are multiple and all of them are lovely). Each of whom I personally love dearly, and are very well characterized. Many are soldiers of the Union, some are scientists, some are divers (mech pilots), some are lost strands finding new meaning after joining this band of Brigands
All are Communists 
All serve the Union 
All would gladly give their lives to defending socialism 
but even they would have little inkling of the adventure set in store for them as the lands beneath the waves erupt in fire, fury, and revolt
Can these transgender badasses kick fascist ass?
Can they kiss? (oh my god please kiss ISTG THERE IS SO MUCH SHIPPING AHHHH ITS GLORIOUS)

Yeah I much prefer it quiet or not super packed.
I grew up in the country and love scenery and woods and stuff, I enjoy long walks and such cross country. So a huge pull of long journeys is the scenery.
I have walked around a bird sanctuary too that was great and through gardens that had a tropical butterfly house.
I haven't played many train games funnily enough, I love eurotruck 2 for the long journeys you can plan and take especially when you mod it to have a huge map lol is super relaxing (can use crusie control lol)
apologies if this reply is too long.
100%!
oh waow, that sounds really nice! the last place i loved had a nice park nearby with little fountains and trees, but here is very urban and to get to the nice quiet bike trail requires going through the busiest intersection in the suburb, so it's difficult to get out. once we get there though, there's an unused (:sicko-sad: (i never remember the name of this one)) rail line and the traffic noise disappears, but ... i'm scared of e-bikes lol they go really fast and last time a people don't like ring bells before passing you close here, sucks (i do also wish i had one)
I would probably be into long walks if I didn't have feet problems lol, if I'm standing for any length of time more than like 20 minutes the pain starts to set in. Physical jobs are torture for me, my last moving around job was me taking painkillers all day just to get through.
oh yeah, I've been trying to get Safe Partner into trucking games since it seems like his jam, but he's not really taken the plunge yet (he just got some new board games so he's excited about that right now), but I'll send him your post, might give him that chill feeling he's looking for. He tried out Space Trucker this week but didn't get into it, there was very little tutorial and so he was a bit lost trying to back up a trailer in 3d space lol (probably way harder than 2d at first)
woops i should get in the shower soon, but here's some trains in games I liked in case you want to read a mini-infodump lol
no apologies, never too long! c:
Yeah get people just quietly go past at times which is dangerous atound me because I have bad spacial awareness lol I'm always worried about knocking into someone for that. Wish they had bike lanes or something.
I'm sorry that can suck, I have chronic pain which can flare up though some exercise can relieve it somewhat. I do have a high pain tolerance though some pain lingers ecen with that, I relate to the pain relief to get through it.
There is a demo to be able to try ^^
Nice little list, more trains than I was aware of.
it's puzzling to me, i would normally call myself hyper-perceptive (wow rude spell check wanting to replace that with "hypersensitive" i don't like that word at all lol), but when this happened last bike ride i was completely caught off guard because i didn't hear the person at all. i had to stop and i was legit scared for a bit, couldn't really enjoy the ride after.
ngl, i kinda wish e-bikes had their own place to go due to this, i was pretty reactionary about them for a while until the struggle sessions here which i listened in on. i am glad they exist and that they're getting cars off the road but i wish people would be more considerate.
yeah it's confusing to me - i had some surgeries when i was young to fix a birth defect, i have a really high pain tolerance in some ways, but the aching in my heels if i use a treadmill at all or stand too long is just so intolerable in a way i can't describe, even if it doesn't hurt a lot.
oh sweet i will tell him this
:) thank you for reading!!
This is the underlying problem with society, a lot of people aren't considerate of others, for a vast many things and this is one example of many.
Yeah I have some idea, I can tolerate a lot but the aches and pains are there even with high pain tolerance, some days it's really bad depending on weather and such too.
You're welcome! I enjoyed the little infodump c:
oh yes! the weather is a big thing, usually have to call in sick with aches and pains at least one day in the fall
