I still would even then whether it's media or something else. For example, if a game has $1k worth of DLC I'm pirating that out of principle even if I'm a billionaire.

Yeah, I did that with Stellaris. It's fantastic and addictive as fuck but I'm not paying 300 bucks for DLC that should just be in the base game.

Games are so damn expensive, man. I could feed myself for a long time for the price of a 6 hour experience.

The "authentic game" experience, is to go out there working/ studying/ creating/ do something - then just figure out your own home. With all the stuff within.

Just sit down & write down your yearly objectives with the SMART Criteria. Gamifiy that process towards various tangible dreams of yours. :)

What?

[–] amir_s89@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sorry, my comment is about capturing opportunities, write down what you want to accomplish & realizing various dreams.

I am listening to an podcast regarding this subject. Above image is for fun but at the same time quite doable!

Sorry, not sorry, your original comment looks rather ableist. "Pull yourself up by your bootstraps" is a myth.

Well respectfully, I have done significant changes in my life in recent years. Thanks to gudience from professors at my uni. It does take time, trial & errors. But it's also connected to your beliefs, values and standards you set individually.

No harm trying for ex 3 or 6 months & observing results. :)

I didn't even have to buy Zelda cause my gf got a free copy. I'm jobless at the moment (Uber doesn't really count), so free games are a must. If I really like anything I download, I have a list I plan to pay for when I'm not shit broke lol

Or never pay and save your money for a nice dinner with your gf

[–] LiarBesidalAll@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well if I get the job I'm going for, I won't have to worry about money very much anymore. Then I can both support the devs and treat my girl to a wonderful dinner 😂 on the other hand... Saving more money is nice lol

I hope you get this job man

I play libre games, like Project: Starfighter. Sometimes I help develop or fix something.
