I never owned a console from the PS4/Xbone generation because they sucked so much. I ended up getting a PS5 and even if most of the games I play are also on PS4, they run better with much faster load times.
SSD, VRR, and HDR as standard in all consoles was really the upgrade for this generation. Now if Microsoft would just get on board with gyro we could finally make some progress in the controls space.
Just imagine a breast with 1 MILLION POLYGONS. God, forgive me for I am about to sin. 
Cost of development is way too high, recession means companies are laying people off and closing whole dev studios, COVID fucked up development timelines for a few years. High interest rates mean no more experimental mid-budget games, only cheap indies and massive bloated AAAA games
Is there no community there?
The doubts and brainworms are thankfully receding as I make more queer friends. I'm finally learning to love myself, too.

I'm in my later 30s and came out as NB a year ago (to one cis person who wasn't very supportive). I then spent nearly the entirety of the last year being too afraid to date or meet anyone because I thought I looked too cis-male. A few months ago I finally connected with someone commiserating about Palestine and politics and we hit it off and I got pulled into queer spaces for the first time and I've never felt so welcome and unjudged before. It is life-changing to have friends that aren't just vaguely supportive but have been there/are there and know what you're going through. If you haven't connected with local queer folk in your area, please do, it will change your perspective so much.
Similarly, I've always known I was different and like you never really had the words to describe it. I knew about trans women/men and did a LOT of introspection over the years and came to the conclusion that I was not trans because non-binary was just not a thing when I was young. I knew I wasn't straight but I was also in a long-term, ostensibly cishet relationship and just thought to myself, "Well, if this is my life partner, why bother about coming out and connecting with the LGBTQ community?" I kept it bottled up for so long and it caused me a lot of pain, especially thinking about how my life might be different if I hadn't been in the closet for so long. I could have been out and spending my time doing gay stuff with cute folks instead of feeling like shit and developing PTSD. Ultimately, you can't go back and do things differently. You need to do what you need to to love yourself now, though. I hate my facial hair, too, and I'm 100% getting electrolysis so I never have to shave again. I'm still trying to find a look that suits me but it feels less important when people already accept me as NB, though I would like to look different enough that I'm not constantly misgendered by cishets. Deleting the social programming in your head is hard but starts to go faster once you make a dent in it. Don't wait around to be yourself.

Biden died when he fell down the stairs a few years ago. The current "Biden", or "Brandon" as it likes to be called is the culmination of 70 years of deep state projects working towards creating the perfect liberal. The speech issues are a sign this clone is deteriorating. A new one will soon be hatched.

Isn't the entire point of the profile and matching system to filter incompatible people out? Why can I match with 50 people and not a single one wants to get a coffee or something after exchanging a few pleasantries? Everybody hates these things and yet they refuse to do anything IRL to get off them. Is there some Manchurian candidate activation codeword that I'm missing? I feel like everyone treats this shit solely as an ego booster and actually gets pissed off that anyone tries to interact with them. How do you meet people in hellworld if you don't drink?
Me after dozens of dead-end back-and-forths that lead to nowhere despite having shared interests and presumably being attracted to each other since we matched: 
Hmm, maybe it's the extreme commodification of relationships and atomization under capitalism that prevents you from getting anywhere with this garbage 
Nope, must be because @SuperZutsuki@hexbear.net didn't say my favorite "The Office" quote and send me a playlist with 50 of the greatest songs I've never heard that made me instantly fall in love with them. I have no idea what other people expect from these things but I'm not doing labor for someone that I don't even know is real. Thanks for reading my rant, any advice is appreciated.
