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.
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.
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
