What Video Games Taught Me

  • If you are facing new challenges/obstacles, you are going the right way.
  • No one blames you if you have to check the map.
  • Always come prepared.
  • Everyone is worth talking to. (doubt that one)
  • Even of you don’t get money for something, you always gain experience.
  • Explore
  • The places that are hardest to get to always have the best rewards.
  • The best way to become someone’s friend is to actually talk to them.
  • If you want to be someone’s friend faster, also give them food. (also works for dogs!)
  • Don’t hold on to too much crap, it will fill up your inventory.
  • Don’t be deterred if a challenge was too much for you; go back, level up,. increase your skill. and try again.
  • You don’t learn anything if you get someone else to do it for you.
  • Don’t feel like you have to rush through the main story. The best content is sometimes in the side quests.
  • If you’ve tried and failed 30 times, you probably missed something. Go back and look around.
  • Never judge someone’s skill solely on their achievements; you don’t know how they got them.
  • When you succeed after multiple failures, you feel so much more accomplished.
  • Take full advantage of character customization.
  • Decisions rarely only affect you. Please choose wisely.

fuck A.I.

seriously.. as if we don’t have enough problems right now.. EVERY DAMN COMPANY on this planet is trying to shove some AI crap down our throats.

not even that it’s stupid, annoying and FAR from “intelligent” – it is also a massive privacy and security disaster waiting to happen. Why? Because the processing doesn’t happen on your device.. it is uploaded to the company’s headquarters to be processed.

so.. GET RID OF IT while you still can.

fuck you for enabling it without asking me, seriusly.. fuck this end-stage-capitalism.

the sun is back

after four dark weeks, today we finally had sunshine again

I wanted them all to stand still for a group photo with shadows but some dogs definitely have other priorities.

Judgemental Christmas

I have an addition to my list of shitty people that I judge immediately without even getting to know them:

People that use blinking Christmas decoration.

you know what? just fuck you
