Meanwhile I just opened Stardew for the first time in 6 months and my pup just gave me some bone shards for petting him
Well that just sounds delightful.
Had to cover someone at work who was off sick and I missed 2 weeks of classic wow raids. Felt great and uninstalled it immediately. Never going back.
I attribute my revulsion toward live service games to this greentext. Great visualization of the endgame for the soul-sucking garbage that’s become popular in recent years. It’s a return to the 80s arcade, stealing your every cent at record speed, but infinitely more surreptitious.
There is a place near me that’s a three floor complex of arcade machines and it’s a single entry fee to play them all.
Yes, it’s horrible. My goal with a game is not to find something to fill hundreds of empty hours of my life, I have enough shit to do already. I’m looking for an experience, like when I go to the movies.
Maybe related, but I’m also not a big fan of TV series for the same reason, even the good ones have some filler and waste time.
I remember once when my wife and I binge watched some exciting thriller series on Netflix, that was impossible to stop. We did 2 seasons with 10x1 hour episodes, and then realized it was Sunday evening, and our weekend was gone. It had more seasons, but we said nope, it’s just not worth our time.
You’re saying you’ve only ever watched one tv show ever? That’s wild
This was me up to about age 24. I just read books instead
Funnily enough I don’t watch movies very often for similar reasons. They feel so shallow compared to a good series due to the limited time the creators have to tell any stories.
Dark patterns in gaming are the absolute worst and although I understand that they’re structured to cater to the worst impulses in human thought patterns, I still don’t understand why people can’t quit.
Then again, folks don’t quit drugs easy either.
> masturbate
Oh, I think what anon meant to say is
“> do Lovense dailies”
I would have thought you were joking but having bought one recently, the amount if wacky shit in that app, dailies included, is wild.
Ah least he brushes his teeth.
I’m lucky I hate gatcha games and old style MMO’s. It seems exhausting.
He forgot to do his neopets dailies.
