Lol, but that face is so beautiful

The only game I’m kinda tempted to go find is the Sims 1 and 2. Not the rerelease. I want the originals

But overall, I have too little time and too many games already. I’ve been trying to find unique or fun games to stream

I think they are people with an endless greed that feeds into itself. With their money, they can generate millions in passive income just by having investments. The system rewards their behavior

An analogy that pops into my head is when you have people that are high rank in a multiplayer game, create a new account so that they can be paired with people who are just starting out. The system feels like it’s just letting smurf accounts demolish everyone.

That analogy maybe isn’t perfect, though, because it implies the ultra wealthy are more skilled when it’s really just a resource allocation issue.

Additionally, manga is way cheaper in Japan compared to when it’s brought overseas. It’s hard to justify purchasing when I could buy some merchandise or something instead

Idk, my 20’s were not great, and my 30’s aren’t looking too much better but trying to stay positive. The main difference is I’m learning to cope and adjusting my expectations drastically.

I think restructuring cities and communities to be walkable tight-knit environments would certainly help. Give people reasons to interact outside the house. Give people the time to interact outside the house. Help people achieve a purpose and meaning in life instead of feeling like a cog in a wealth machine.

If we’re all just struggling to get by, it’s no wonder the youth feel despair.

• this could just be my personal bias showing so idk.

To end this on a happier note, I’ve been starting to think of ways that I can reduce my footprint and still live as comfortable life as possible. I’m aiming for as low expenses that I can manage, along with working the least amount possible. I just don’t really see a point to working my ass off now. I at least have some youth. Might as well enjoy it while I can.

I have no idea how to achieve this yet. But my mindset is there, so I’m sure I’ll figure it out eventually.

I’m not entirely sure why places do this. It will cause distrust in your product and cause people to find the service elsewhere or for free.

My parents are finally getting rid of it. The one thing I’ve noticed, though, is that not having a subscription service means I’m very unlikely to get off my butt and watch tv/movies. Which isn’t a bad thing, I guess I just value other entertainment more?

I’ve wanted to watch the boy and the heron for a while. Maybe I’ll get to it eventually, lol.

Everyone else, feel free to correct me if I’m wrong.

I’m a very casual downloader. I rarely download and it’s usually older content like movies or retro games. But my personal method has been do a ton of reading. Find chatrooms, forums, etc, where people discuss this topic and read up on the various sites and people’s experiences with them.

Have a separate device if possible. One you’re willing to wipe if something went wrong. I’ve also heard of people sandboxing downloads to try and keep things safer, but I’ve never personally tried it. My assumption is that the older and less complex a download is, the better, but that could be pure ignorance on my part.

For example, if I’m grabbing a GBA game, it’s one single file. There’s less to visually scan, and it’s easy to see if there’s something that looks off. This isn’t always the case, though. For example, one .exe file could ruin your entire machine.

Something newer like a more modern PC game release, I would pick it from a list of sources that people claim are safe, and then basically hope and pray that I didn’t just infect my machine lol. At that point, I try to also look for any suspicious behavior, or if i notice any kind of slowdown, issues with the machine, etc.

Generally speaking, anytime I’ve infected my machine (that I know of), whatever virus protection I’ve been running has caught it and prevented issues. But generally speaking, I would assume that unless you’re downloading simple stuff, you’re taking some risk.

One of the best gifts I got for someone else (and myself I guess because we enjoyed it together) was all the episodes of Reboot. To be honest, I’ve been at a loss as to what I would even sail the seven seas for right now. I have too much of a media backlog to warrant finding something new anyways.

I guess you’re right. I guess I was thinking better service would equate to more sales /less worry about piracy

Why not just provide better overseas support for anime and manga?

I’ve been playing Mario Galaxy 2 for the first time. It’s pretty good, but I’m wondering what the hype was about. Perhaps it’s a product of its time in a way, but overall, it’s still a lot of fun. I keep dying at stupid parts, which is really funny. You can tell the developers really pushed their skills to the limits as all of the levels seem like they’re really well done.

I’ve been streaming a playthrough of Ghost of Tsushima, and I recently got to the DLC. I think the game does so many things right, but I have a few minor gripes. Overall, I really like the atmosphere and the world design. The environments are gorgeous.
