This would be true for me if I was hoarding the primo life stuff but I’m not. I’m poor AF and simply don’t have any of the primo shit irl lol
Anon has a realization

It’s a balance anon. Save some for tomorrow, but you need to live today because that’s all you have.

Instructions unclear, am now in crippling debt and in fear of tomorrow. But yesterday was fun.
flames5123@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Exactly. There are people who save so much to retire early, but I’m in my late 20’s and just living life instead of waiting. Sure, I’m putting away some money into my Roth and 401k to retire on time and live a comfy life after that, but I’m definitely traveling, going to events, spending more to live in a city, etc.

Here’s my thing. I don’t know when I’m going to die. I might live to ripe old age. I might not. But if I don’t, I want to know I had a good time also.
Imagine if you hyper optimized for an early retirement and then get hit by a bus at 35. Stuff happens. We’re all gonna die. Enjoy yourself where you can because you don’t really know how many years you’ve got.

I say this as a game designer: use the stuff you get. That’s why we put it there. You’ll get more, we promise.
borth@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
And then there are games like… Oh, you sold that quest item? Tough luck, restart the whole game and make better decisions lol
Paradachshund@lemmy.today 11 months ago
Yeah that’s definitely no good. Thankfully zorking yourself is basically unheard of in modern game design.
Liz@midwest.social 11 months ago
I miss the old games that didn’t make winning inevitable.

But then I wouldn’t have had the opportunity to dump an attache case full of grenades on the head of the last boss in Resident Evil 4!

You don’t fill your attache case with fish?

This is a game design failure, it's why max ammo is a thing.
Paradachshund@lemmy.today 11 months ago
I’m not sure what you mean. You’re saying it’s a failure if the game doesn’t limit what you can carry?
intensely_human@lemm.ee 11 months ago
I say this as an old timer: use the stuff you get. That’s why you have the urge now. You won’t get more, I promise.

Old games definitely were much more comfortable with missable very important items. There’s a certain magic to it, but it can definitely feel pretty bad.

I suppose you could say this about saving for retirement, but it’s super important to start early. I’m not sure what else in life you could apply this to?
Rednax@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I also used to save up every potion and usuable that I came across. I wanted to feel in control by being prepared for everything. That sounds like a fine quality to have, but it stems from a fear of not being able to handle whatever is thrown at you. It is a symptom of a lack of self confidence.
Nowadays the things that I’m most proud of in life, are things I only achieved because I jumped head first into the unknown, yet still came out on top of whatever challenge I had taken on.
ClaireDeLuna@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Taking chances is my guess. Each weapon is a “life experience”
The basic pistol is your normal day to day. The shotgun is your night out.
But that gauss cannon, or rocket launcher are those big risk moments like asking that person out, or good to that once in a lifetime concert.
“I can’t go to that concert I have work tomorrow” “But it’s literally their retirement tour and you love them!” “I know but…I really need this job”
Yeah it’s the responsible decision to go into work, but you’re going to regret missing a day of work way less compared to missing that once in a lifetime event.
If you’re saving money it’s fiscally responsible not to spend it, but your peak years of health are going to be wasted “saving for your future” when you’re 60 and your body isn’t as capable as it used to be. So you’re ruining the overall “game”(life) by trying to conserve and inducing more struggle onto yourself just to save an extra buck here and there.

This applies to video games to a T, but tf is OP talking about with it applying to life, everyones struggling because we’re getting less and less of the Overpowered Cool Ammo
waz@lemmy.world 11 months ago
That’s just because some people are hoarding all the resources.
Kedly@lemm.ee 11 months ago
Ok, but that doesnt really apply to the meme or what its saying
Emmie@lemm.ee 11 months ago
Yea but you can also fuck up in the other direction after this realization. Nowadays I literally evaporate every thousand I manage to get my little hands on
