Literally the message of Tolkien’s writing, yes. The good guys sought to destroy power, not wield it.

As a fellow 2080ti owner I love my Steam Deck.

This perfectly describes Star Citizen.

The fishing minigame will probably feel really hard at first but it’s fun and easy once you get a feel for it.

The differences between Lawful Good and Lawful Evil are mostly aesthetic in my opinion. (They’re both evil.)

I’ve participated in in-person protests with various groups about a dozen times a year since 2020 and I don’t even live in a city. People are definitely out here protesting, we just don’t get any media coverage at all unless we break things.

edit- in an attempt to actually be helpful - search the internet for any progressive or socialist activist groups near you and sign up for their newsletters/follow their socials. Try to attend a few events, and there you’ll hopefully meet people who can get you connected to local anarchists/more radical folks who go out and protest a lot. Then you can carpool with folks and share expenses and have a safe group of people to go to protests with.

You’re not entirely wrong but the Pal system itself has a good amount of depth - Pals have traits and skills, and are weaker or stronger against different other types of Pals, so you can be very clever about what skills you teach them and what fights/environments you take them into. The game can get very easy if you exploit this system properly but is quite challenging if you ignore Pal stats and just grind levels and gear.
