  • I guess, but honestly, you are giving artists money so who cares?

    The only two relevant questions are:

    1. Was spending that money actually a serious error in that you needed the money for something else?
    2. Did you give your money to an indie artist or a massive AAA company that actively is attempting to hurt artists even the ones it temporarily employs?

    Buy indie games, revel in your wealth of games, this is a good thing not a bad thing. You flaunt your disgusting wealth and power by simply buying an indie game that was made with passion by artists and game developers and yet you are never even going to play it. Witness your power!!!

  • No judgement, addiction is a serious thing but...

    I also realise I'm giving a lot of time to games that, if only I could manage my time better I could give to much more worthwhile things, like helping people out in the world. So a month ago a few life circumstances came together, and I've signed up for a new education course. Rather than cope with all the new stresses of that at the same time as possible gaming withdrawal symptoms, I figured I'd give up the games completely, a month early. (And doomscrolling too, but that's proving harder... proving it's also addictive to me more than I wanted to admit!)

    This doesn't strike me as a healthy perspective on yourself

    Check out these videos by Dr. Rachel Kowert

    My point isn't to refute your concern for your addictive tendencies with regards to video games but rather to gravely warn you that your fear and self doubt (which are valid) will be preyed on by a whole cottage industry of shitty people selling you fake solutions until you learn the actual science with regards to humans and games (digital or not) from people like Dr. Rachel Kowert.

  • Hi that is a great question I would love to explore that with you.

    Dads are many things to many people and to sum up Dads with a short quip would do a disservice to the diverse lives Dads have all over the world. One thing that typifies all Dads is a tendency to escalate in puns as they age, this can become very acute and is known to have toppled some ancient cultures from the societal uproar that resulted.

    Are you a dad?

  • Which is exactly the intended conditions ventcure capital investment in WhatsApp was intended to do, now they can just keep cashing in over and over again banking on pure inertia from people already knowing how to use WhatsApp badly to do something they could do far better with another tool.

  • What that says to me is you are trying to bullshit using a basic tool when you actually need to do the work of onboarding people onto some kind of platform where you can actually coordinate complex things or have conversations between huge groups of people that are still salient to individuals.

  • Heck America has been doing a digital take over of the world, which Europeans are just (or a couple years ago) realising it is in our best interest ot create our own alternatives

    I would be remiss as someone in the US who wants to love computers to not emphasize that most people in the US are just realizing or haven't realized it yet.

  • Hey thanks I added you to the Facebook News Group, my posts will now show up at the top of your grandpa's feed because we mapped out your family with basic cookie/search history records (in a totally anonymous fashion, trust us it is math) and now your grandpa will start to slowly descend into angry conspiracy theories with custom tailored content designed on Family Manipulation Algorithms (FMAs for short).

    Keep up the good work!

    I am chaos, see my clown makeup strewn across The Big Angry Dorito Of Hate, hear my warning (your grandpa can't lol), IF YOU DO NOT DIP ME IN THE COOL RANCH OF JUSTICE WE SHALL PERISH
