Most things, in my experience, are not worth the effort. I really feel that a lot of people who are constantly hustling, going out and doing things, etc. are doing so because they can’t allow themselves to stop and think. I tend to focus on necessary things (food, shelter, etc) and some things that let me feel comfortable. For the rest, I just try to live a quiet life.

Or maybe it’s just me. I’m getting old now and doesn’t have infinite free time to do mundane virtual chores anymore. I got 1-2 hours of free time per day, if I’m lucky and the kid won’t tear up the house.
It’s a shame, one of my favorites was Elite Dangerous. I love explore the universe in peace. But to be able to do so would require months of constant and repetitive grinding for material to upgrade the ship.
Oh no, it’s definitely not just you.
I feel like the overall design of games has been lazy lately and they’ve just filled them up with mundane chores to pad the completion time.
No one’s going to pay $70 for a game if they know there’s only 2 hours worth of story to play through.
And I deeply loved elite dangerous but it was definitely just space trucking simulator, I feel like frontier really messed up whenever they pushed all their resources to whatever idle Sim game they were designing that flopped.
Plenty of things, college being the biggest. But, I’ve gotten to the point where I’m able to see benefits in just about everything I’ve done in my life.
Listen, if you want a degree, you don’t have to do the usual route. Check out WGU - it’s competency based so basically if you can do the math test, you pass the math class. If you can write the english paper, you pass the english class. Just push through and you’ll be done, and it’s super cheap. My advisor said she had someone finish a masters in 6 months.
This question reminds me of when I first realized that in the grand scheme of the universe nothing we do matters in the slightest. Not even my first existential crisis either. Looking back on it, accepting the intrinsic nihilism of life is really the least stressful thing I’ve ever had send me into a depressive slump.
A solid 75% of everything I’ve ever attempted to do takes more time to do than regular folks because it has to be perfect. And then I may not tell anyone about my efforts because I don’t want the attention. Or if the work is too hard or I’m too scared of revealing I can’t do it all myself, I give up. Assuming, of course, I don’t forget about what I’m working on until the relevance has passed.
Oh shit are you me? Adhd + anxiety is such a shitty combo, I feel like I can never accomplish anything and when I do I don’t even get the satisfaction of a job well done because the chemical reward system in my brain is screwed up. Shit sucks.
