Stress

Jump
  • Its work

    Working, in the way that we do, takes years off of our lives and ruins the quality of life of people in their final years too.

    Work has never been so unstressful, if you look back at the history of mankind.

    Industrialization killed workers with 60 hour shifts in unsafe environments. Middle ages made you work 18 hours a day once you were 7 and made you starve if the harvest was bad. In the stone age your family died from hunger after you got killed on the hunt.

    Life expectancy was never as high as today.

  • People will buy it. And then they will wonder why content quality declines and more and more micro transactions appear in a game they bought and pay subscription for.

    The capitalism will always look for the easy route to even more money, and monkey brains with need for status symbols will follow.

  • Welcome to capitalism. Big gaming companies do not care about games anymore, they care about how to maximise profits. Their games are manipulative and developed together with psychologists solely to get your hard earned money at any opportunity. They got so good at it, that they are able to release pieces of software which are looking like games but actually are milking machines and no games at all.

    You just have to take a step back and you will be able to easily differentiate between products of corporate greed and games.

    Games once were supposed to be entertaining and even art. And there are still some, mostly indies.

  • You have to see it as "root"-mode, it gives you the means to do stuff you need to do but cannot do otherwise. Most times it's for workarounds for problems you can't solve. If you use reflection you are fully responsible.

    Of course you normally shouldn't use it, in 10 years I used it maybe one or two times. It's more of a last resort.
