A metal red uno reverse card sits in my wallet. It was a gift from my girlfriend and an acknowledgement of our in joke of replying no u to compliments and I love yous.

Don't worry, we're in the worst one

No ridicule here, only empathy. It's a rough hand you've been dealt. I wish I had some magic advice to give you but I don't have any relevant knowledge of Cambodia or how to better secure a life for yourself. What I can say is that being in your 20's you still have plenty of time to figure your life out.

You're educated and in tech so it's possible some remote work could come your way, or that you could try your hand at creating something of your own to try and market. Contributing to GitHub projects might help you make some connections and networking for jobs. If all else fails, there's no shame in doing some retail, sales, or labour work while you wait for the tech market to improve (I'm in IT myself, it's rough out there right now with all these layoffs.).

Either way, please don't make any rash choices you can't take back. It may seem pretty hopeless right now but time has a way of changing that perspective. The world is better with you in it.

Much love from your Canadian brother :)

The satellite restaurant in Chatham Ontario, I've made pilgrimage there!

If the emperor had a text to speech device was my gateway drug, it's such a good series on YouTube. Shame it got ended by lawyers.

If you want a much more affordable approach to the tabletop game, try battlesector 40k, it's pretty good and accessible

Might I recommend Journey and Abzu? They're both wonderful experiences with a healthy dose of zen if you decide you want to just pause and appreciate the environments.

Thanks, I'm pleased to say it was well worth the wait. Here's hoping your patience is just as rewarded.

I sympathize, I recently ended nine months of job hunting. I found the internet a great source of free content to enjoy which much improved my penny pinching months. Libraries are also a wonderful asset to the budget conscious

Happy to help!

Are you sure it isn't a custom designed one? It took 15 seconds to mock up basically the same thing here: https://xboxdesignlab.xbox.com/en-ca/configure/xbox-wireless-controller

Even the text is in the same place by default so I think this was just someone's custom order
