People aren’t taught how to live in a way that will make them truly fulfilled. Shaming them for enjoying entertainment isn’t going to get you anywhere though.
The OP might be different, but most who think like this are personally dissatisfied with their own lives and behavior. They’re angry at themselves more than anything, and trying to blame the world will never change that.
You’ve likely taken billions of breaths in your lifetime. Don’t you get bored with it? One day you are going to wake up and ask yourself, “what the heck am I doing”? Same air, same in and out action. What is the point. Then you get a cat. It sits on your chest and sucks out your oxygen and your soul.
PS: There is a literal SKELETON inside you, just waiting for you to let down your guard. Spooky stuff OP. Food for thought.
In the sixth sense we see a man, a psychiatrist try to help a boy suffering from schizoprenia. Society sees this strange and peculiar boy as flawed. So we as a society try to fix him and turn him into a normal child with a good quality of life.
But we can’t because we’re trapped in the past and realize that the strengths that he has are actually not flaws but instead strengths that make him special.
But then we realize that we can’t go back to the past. And more importantly we are already dead. And all we can go is move on. We can’t ever really live again as the revered psychologist the way we used to be.
If you like spooky check out Exorcist on Hulu (the show) I think it was FANTASTIC and I’m so sad it didn’t get a season 3.
The other night my wife was out of the house and I’m upstairs wrapping presents, watching it. Just got done with a super freaky demon scene and I go into the closet to get more presents.
The light sensitive dinosaur toy we bought our son starts growling at me in the dark -_-
While that may be what playing WOW: Classic would be like to you, I can easily say that’s not going to be my experience.
I outright quit in early MoP because I logged in one day and realized I was not having fun and had nothing in game that I even wanted to do. HAVING FUN. That is my primary metric for what keeps me playing a game. If, somehow, WOW: Classic was not fun, I wouldn’t even make it to level 43.
Except, vanilla WAS fun. It was so fun that, for the first time in my life, I focused on playing a single game. (As a console gamer, I always had half-a-dozen games I was playing. As a PC gamer, I bounced between games. Prior to WOW, I’d been playing Half-Life, America’s Army, Guild Wars, and more.
And I’ve replayed multiple other games that I found fun in the past. My Steam library is at least half console games of the late 90’s and early 2000s. Some are painful, and I don’t play them long. Some are worth every moment I spend. Myst is one that is a pretty good example, because it was remade at least twice in addition to its sequels. One of those remakes they attempted to change a bunch of things. Oh, it looked better graphically, but the controls were horrible. They did another remaster later, and did so much better a job. Yet, what draws me back is not whether it is pretty, or whether it is completely convenient. It’s the gameplay, the puzzle solving, the worlds I run around in.
To me, RETAIL is the zombie kid. It’s the attempt to keep some idea of the original game alive long past its natural lifespan.
I don’t care that this is a troll. The post was fun to read.
Just mark my words. You’ll be level 43. And you’ll log in and suddenly ask yourself “WTF am I doing with my life”. And most of you will quit and move on. Accepting that the past can’t be re-lived and nor should it.
Already way ahead of you. I’ve experienced and ignored that feeling multiple times, and at this point I’m immune.
3 levels after getting their mount? That sounds like retail talk. Surely you mean 3 levels after starting serious efforts to save up the hundred gold for…
…oh, sorry. I didn’t see right away that you’re a paladin. Never mind!
