I think it's always been this way, but social media has for sure exacerbated it. People really want to believe there's some big order, some grand control, somebody in charge that all makes sense somewhere somehow.
"They" don't want you to know because its all about power and control is weirdly a lot more palatable than "shit just happens".
The upbeat music that plays once you hit out with some evidence that puts you on the attack. I've never felt so emotionally hyped and invested from a text-reading game.
No. If something is too expensive I simply move on. I get anxious simply conducting commerce in a regular environment, like my desire to buy this thing is an intrusion on the shopkeepers day.
I also refuse to buy from places, usually burger vans, where the prices are so small as to be hidden until you get to the front of the queue. If you're going to say "what do you want" at the exact moment I'm weighing up the price/object ratio, I'm out.
I had the same thought with cape and peninsula
You've obviously put a lot more thought into this than I ever will, but I've never reached a point of claustrophobia, more the opposite, like agoraphobia. Every time I learn a little more there's references to things I don't know yet so need to learn those to understand that. But surprise! That topic also has references and underlying details I don't understand and haven't heard of before.
I get very intimidated by the awareness of the sheer scope of my ignorance.
I know the one you're talking about and to me that's the least egregious of them all. It's contextual and thematic, even if it is just shit.
I've been looking over my daughters shoulder as she watches YouTube shorts, and a regular clip of brain rot will announc its using the greenscreen effect. Hidden behind all the username/soundtrack/description will be a teeny tiny brown man's head muttering punjab almost imperceptibly quietly.
Not sure if they're better or worse than the dickheads splitting the screen in two and passively pointing up towards the video that is also showing.
I'm disappointed with it, but that's my problem. I can't put my finger on why, I think my expectations have changed. Somehow I was expecting it to blow me away like the first time I played it and obviously it just can't do that.
Still gonna sink a fair few hours into it though.
I was going for the community centre bundle. I was so close. I was waiting for one more duck feather. I play relaxed and sporadically so it took me til year 4 to even get to this point. Then my young son played on my profile and did joja.
My heart. She breaks.
"You jinx it? Believe it or not, jail"
At the risk of doing some kind of ism, it's weird that normal people do it.
I can see the merit giving them to someone who is a drug addict or otherwise mentally enfeebled so they can get the intended gift with a little more agency over specifics with less risk of them spending it unwisely.
Gonna go ahead and show my ignorance here, but why is this such a bad thing?
I knew those thumbs were good for more than turning metal cylinders into food.
