How about we call for his arrest and trial?

I’m really sorry to hear that. Sometimes life puts us in a place where we need our family, even if they’re awful.

That all sucks. To answer your question: decide whether you really have to deal with them forever. In this case, unless I’m missing something significant, it sounds like you could cut your brother and his family out of your life. It sounds like their contributions are exclusively negative, and after going behind you and your mother’s backs with the land thing, you’d be perfectly justified to cut them out.

In short: don’t deal with them.

I live a few miles from the border and cross at least weekly. You could generally get away with this for a handful of things, especially if you’re smart about it (dispose of all packaging and tags, have an otherwise legit reason for a short visit, etc).

That being said, Minecraft on peaceful mode would fit and is generally approachable. Stardew Valley is pretty relaxed as well, though I don’t remember whether it uses WASD specifically.

I mean, if someone shows up to a goth party in chainmail, they’d probably still fit the vibe?

Yeah, but right now it’s about SCOTUS. Sometimes it’s other stuff.

Remember the old ThinkPad idiom: “If the cracks are just plastic, it’s still fantastic!”

No.

The frame really wraps it up nicely. Good work! Here’s hoping we can live to see a time where this kind of art isn’t a reflection of our reality.
