Anon has a realization

This meme is making me question my whole life. They’re not supposed to do that 😔

Anon triggers existential crises throughout Lemmy

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

It’s a balance anon. Save some for tomorrow, but you need to live today because that’s all you have.

Instructions unclear, am now in crippling debt and in fear of tomorrow. But yesterday was fun.

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.

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.

I miss the old games that didn’t make winning inevitable.

We know that you are brave, but you might want to save.

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!

You don’t fill your attache case with fish?

This is a game design failure, it’s why max ammo is a thing.

I’m not sure what you mean. You’re saying it’s a failure if the game doesn’t limit what you can carry?

In fps games ? Absolutely. By adding a limit you’re telling your player to use it, or lose it. Gotta protect players from themselves. Unfortunately it’s hard to apply to some types of games, like crpgs which are notoriously bad at giving random shit that you might one day need.

Final Attack materia from ff7 has entered the chat.

Old games definitely were much more comfortable with missable very important items. There’s a certain magic to it, but it can definitely feel pretty bad.

I say this as an old timer: use the stuff you get. That’s why you have the urge now. You won’t get more, I promise.

are you talking about my dick
