I say this as a game designer: use the stuff you get. That’s why we put it there. You’ll get more, we promise.
And then there are games like… Oh, you sold that quest item? Tough luck, restart the whole game and make better decisions lol
Yeah that’s definitely no good. Thankfully zorking yourself is basically unheard of in modern game design.
Yeah but achievements exist.
Maybe I did need to carry that garden gnome throughout the entire game and send it into space.
But then I wouldn’t have had the opportunity to dump an attache case full of grenades on the head of the last boss in Resident Evil 4!
This would be true for me if I was hoarding the primo life stuff but I’m not. I’m poor AF and simply don’t have any of the primo shit irl lol
This meme is making me question my whole life. They’re not supposed to do that 😔
Anon triggers existential crises throughout Lemmy
It’s a balance anon. Save some for tomorrow, but you need to live today because that’s all you have.
Exactly. There are people who save so much to retire early, but I’m in my late 20’s and just living life instead of waiting. Sure, I’m putting away some money into my Roth and 401k to retire on time and live a comfy life after that, but I’m definitely traveling, going to events, spending more to live in a city, etc.
Here’s my thing. I don’t know when I’m going to die. I might live to ripe old age. I might not. But if I don’t, I want to know I had a good time also.
Imagine if you hyper optimized for an early retirement and then get hit by a bus at 35. Stuff happens. We’re all gonna die. Enjoy yourself where you can because you don’t really know how many years you’ve got.
Literally every battle royale match
Yea but you can also fuck up in the other direction after this realization. Nowadays I literally evaporate every thousand of currency I manage to get my little hands on.
Perhaps it is the climate collapse awareness. Why would I hoard stuff if it is near? Just to wait till the money loses all value? I need to liquidate some of those assets and buy a boat or smh when I still can. But I have this problem that this money lets me not work and not suffer so I can’t really use it unless I am 100% sure shit hits the fan next week.
I would call it being barely rich. You don’t feel rich, you can’t afford stuff but theoretically you are so it’s kind of weird. If you spend it you will stop being barely rich very fast. But if you won’t spend it you won’t ever feel rich.
This applies to video games to a T, but tf is OP talking about with it applying to life, everyones struggling because we’re getting less and less of the Overpowered Cool Ammo
That’s just because some people are hoarding all the resources.
