mellowtiggerHow about something nice for a change (something different from what I faced this morning last week).
Today's theme song comes from the Timberborn game that I've mentioned before, even as a Ukraine theme song post. The game is still in development with new content and bug fixes provided regularly. I don't know the intended timeline, but I hope they finish it soon. I look forward to spending a lot more hours in it. I still play it occasionally but not frequently until it's finished. (I'm not a fan of learning things that I need to unlearn later if something gets removed from the game.) This song was added to the game in the October 12 update.
The chorus was recorded by many people in this game's community. A longer video explains some of its history.
It won't become the most popular song of all time, but it affects me on more levels than I expected. I grow increasingly anti-capitalistic with each passing year, it seems. We have so many resources. We could build community to help us all, if we weren't so devoted to extracting nebulous profit at the expense of others and our collective future. You already know how I feel about that (and worshiping wealth).
Go play this game. Enjoy the very amusing beavers, and imagine a better world.

Good morning, little beavers.
Good morning, happy life.
Let's build a big and mighty dam
Before the drought arrives.
With plenty trees for chopping
We'll block the water's way
In the riverbed, keeping this land wet,
Living here in Beaver Bay.
