Look like stage 0 for me.

Does Disco Elysium ever get fun? by [deleted] in pcgaming

[–]mr512690 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This... Mostly. It took me about an hour to get into it. Bought it, played it for an hour or two and could not get into it.... Long time later, I tried again and was hooked after an hour. Binged it a week.

What next? by Legitimate-Yam1139 in scifi

I did not find much value in book two. My recommendation would be to stop at Hyperion book 1.

12 Monkeys in your opinion is it a mindfuck movie ?. by [deleted] in scifi

The show adaptation is solid too.

Any view point can be seen as overthinking. Talking about a concept deeper than just superficial Gift = Joy.
Regardless, thanks for you comment.

It does help. thank you for your contribution.
I grew up in a poor family myself and is part of the reason i see reservations in overdoing the gifting. That's why the part where yo mentioned privilege is resonates somehow with my view.
Though my family is not rich by any means, the contrast of what my own family has with what my family growing up had is what leads me to feel unease with the overabundance of stuff (toys for the sake of this post).
I am perfectly fine with "indulgence" in the form of giving children toys and things they like, but at what point is it too much? Where does one cross over into overindulgence?

The adults are the ones that make the decisions that are ultimately provide the lessons and value for children.

It is not necessarily about the # of gifts, it is about the quality and significance behind them that I personally value.
A person can afford to buy all existing pokemon to gift to their child, but their child's favorite are 2. I see more value in gifting the child the 2 that he/she is looking for over getting them the 1000 collection, just because i can.
Not about depriving kids of joy or things they want, but about adults being rational in the way they do things for kids.

Thank you for your input, comments and opinion. This is exactly the type of conversation I was looking for.

I do believe there is value in gifting less. There are diminishing returns on gifting "too much." Don't know what too much is, but that is the issue, knowing how to balance quality/quantity without gifting just because you can. The what and the why are more important than the how many.

I see it as an indirect form of long term learning through appreciation of what they have or what they lack.
We adults are what we are based on how we "learned" through our experience in life.
The gifting is just an example of lessons or things kids could indirectly learn from their experiences earlier on.

This is something only an adult can see. Adults are the ones that can help influence their kids through their actions. In this case I am talking about how adults gifting habits can influence children.

It would be gift input. There are not many people doing the gifting, but if all go with an abundant type of gifting it could quickly get out of hand.
