I thought the ending was interesting until I played through it. It just reinforced how pointless the whole story was. Maybe it had good intentions, I can see that on paper, but it made me question why I wasted my time if none of my decisions mattered anyways. We play games to be entertained and escape reality, not to reinforce what we already know. Most of what we do doesn’t matter in the grand scheme of things.
Bought 2 acres of wooded land in North Carolina for $60k, 2 years ago and built a house on one of the 1 acre lots. Now an empty 1 acres lot is going for $100k next door. I guess land really is a great investment if you find a deal.
I see posts talking about good BIFL items but I don’t hear much about the other side of products that are bad or products you bought but don’t even use.
As someone who has kids who are now just becoming “adults,” “that funny feeling” just keeps getting worse. I worry they’ll never be able to afford houses or families of their own and with the constant rising costs, we won’t have anything to even leave them. I wish I could bury my head in the sand and think everything will be just fine, but I can’t anymore.
I know when I had to rent a car for my family last year in CA to drive up to Oregon, I didn’t want an EV. Even though they were cheaper, I didn’t want to risk us getting stranded in an unfamiliar area that I’ve never been to. We ended up stuck in a “we’ve never seen that before” traffic jam outside of SF. We were trapped for 8 hrs with no exists and I’m not sure an EV would have made it to our destination. Once we got out of it, the first task was finding a gas station. It was not a good area and I can’t imagine finding/sitting at a random charging station, in the middle of the night there. I imagine I’m not the only one who’s had this fear.
