You're not weak. It's genuinely a dehumanizing, exhausting experience that seems to get worse year after year. I'm barely in my 30s, I've been laid off twice and had to relocate once. Each search was worse than the last.

I hope they can rebuild. GI was a major pillar of game news for so long.
Eh, Tasha's was a mixed bag in terms of utility, but I've used every section in Xan's at least once.
I use this one: https://podcastsoundboard.com/ It's dead simple, has the features I want like looping and trimming, and adding music is drag and drop. One drawback, at least for me, is that it does crash occasionally, but start up is so quick, it doesn't usually matter.
I don't do Sci-fi, but as a former Syrinscape subscriber, my solution has been to buy a soundboard app I like, and then download very affordable tracks from independent artists via Bandcamp. There are lots of artists who charge $1 or 2 for a 1hr album of tracks, or even "pay what you want." Even better, if you find an artist you like, you can sometimes get their whole discography for like $15-20. Obviously, you can also rip mp3s or whatever else.
There is a gospel passage about how much will be expected of those whom have been given much. I've always heard this interpreted as how church leaders will be judged harshly in the afterlife. I wish this and hell were true, just for the sheer shock and disbelief of all the hypocritical religious leaders who've done so many terrible things and continued to preach hate.
I have the soundcore liberty 4, and I also really like it. Way better than the raycons I had.
Beast Wars is my GOAT Transformer series. I figured it was nostalgia, but I rewatched during the pandemic and it honestly held up better than I remember. Even the weird early digital animation is impressive in context. So many interesting characters and motivations, too. And the sweetest extra on top is Megatron's dialogue. Yeeeeess!
I prefer 2 to 1, primarily because the choices are not as blatantly good/evil and it feels like they have more impact. I also think the character creation and items are more fleshed out. Just a shame it didn't get the polish it deserved at launch. 1 definitely feels more "Star Wars"-y, though.
Shelton Benjamin and Lashley are both free agents right now. Not to mention Hobbes would be a great addition.
Between this report and him trying to claim the series got confused about kayfabe yesterday, it's gotta get nasty. I've already read a lot from various books, so I'm curious how much new info they have.
Not that you asked, but my advice is to shoot your shots wherever you find them. If the odds are bad either way, might as well aim for the jobs that will keep you sane and make things better for yourself and others.
