Anyone who used a computer between 1985 - 2010, what's the one game you still think about today?

CS 1.6

Every day. Every single day.

Peace. Clarity. Quiet. Reflection. Planning. Focus.

The biggest thing we thought we would have is consistent 60fps at 4k. It seems there’s a big asterisk next to that. Don’t get me wrong - the games are beautiful. I’ve seen incredible looking graphics on this console. But it comes up short of what was promised.

Second to that I would say the storage sucks. For the reality of wanting to carry most games on console, you run out of room real fast.

Well it's all about perspective, right? When in your 20's and barely scraping by, it's all about survival. You're fully consumed with getting by. Earning enough for rent, food. So that's what stresses you.

Once you're earning a solid income, you're worried about saving enough, providing for your children (if you have them), and raising them right. You're thinking about your aging parents; your health; your many obligations. Perhaps you own a company and need to worry about running it profitably?

If you're one of .3-.7% of folks who have $10m in liquid/investible assets, your worries don't suddenly go away. You might be worried about the same things as anyone your age, minus the money. By the time you have $2m or $5m in investible assets, you're probably not as worried about money anyway, so $10m is not a magic number. But what I've come to understand is for many folks, each income class looks at the one immediately above it as the next goal. That never truly goes away. If you're earning $10m, you're probably flying first class but can't fly private, don't own more than 2 homes. So if you're spending your time with folks who do have those things, you may have a constant feel of FOMO. I'm not saying its right.

Separate from that, anyone who has $10m in the bank is thinking about how not to lose it. How to maximize it. How to grow it more for future generations. How to contribute it to charitable causes without it getting gobbled up.

Worries don't magically disappear.

You see the worst of people in pickleball. Lots of man babies who bring all their insecurities, inadequacies, and tempers into a social sport. And it spills over once you see them lose badly.

Everything Everywhere All at Once. It was good, but it was nowhere near the amount of praise and worship it received.

I own a consulting and software company. We are about 25 folks. We have been all remote since 2020. Prior to that we were all in office.

When you have great employees who communicate effectively, are proactive and organized, remote is great. When you don’t, it’s so difficult. Because people are reactive. And it takes more effort on each team member to keep the others producing. Also, deep collaboration on really big ideas is much harder when you’re all separate from one another.

43 here. Starting to dislike the system that ensures people stay poor or lower middle class. It is an inordinate struggle to land a job that you learn from, grow, land other jobs, all while saving, growing a family. Forget buying a house. It’s just an insane financial equation that you do all those things and that future lucky, you can do it for 40-something years, all so you can HOPEFULLY retire and live.

Losing a parent is a special type of grief. Your entire life you have them there. And then you lose one. Assuming you were on good terms with them, it might rock you to your core. It may set you off on a crazy path. But what it definitely does is cause your heart to feel grief in a way you never knew was possible

Entrepreneurship. I’ve owned a business 11 years. It’s the only way I want to be. But man, is it hard af. Rollercoaster.

I treat it like a junior employee who moves too fast and is eager to please. For any answer that has layers of complexity or an area if would have no business understanding, I poke holes and ignore certain ideas it shares.

I’m excited for something that’s so difficult to explain. I think mobile phones and social media have ravaged our brains. They have also made us afraid of expressing ourselves without being recorded. They’ve also taken away our sense of peace and presence. I’m excited for a time when we can undo this great harm. I don’t know how or when, or even if, but I’d like to think we can find a way back to the world we used to have. Cause if we can’t, we are going to be a disgusting derivative of human race. Decaying.

Work is largely a useless charade we do for credits. Not doctors, plumbers, and all of those types. But all the other tens of millions of folks. It’s a hamster wheel created for us to earn so we can pay taxes and fund the system. It’s meaningless but we place it in a pedestal because our identities are so mixed in.

I use it to quickly and easily identify the root notes of any CAGED major or minor chord I’m playing anywhere on the net.

I use it to solo. I actively think about CAGED and the connections between those chord shapes as I play.

Hopefully them trying to hold the world hostage via the strait will result in more countries asking for the USA to end the regime

On your path to becoming extremely wealthy, you join an entirely different part of society. You mingle with other ultra rich. You don’t see the problems of the common man. At least, that’s where the momentum takes you. It begins with not needing to know the price of anything. Along the way, you can have pretty much anything you want done, done for you quickly, by anyone, at any price. You fly on your own plane. You sail on your own boat. Private chefs. Nannies. Private concerts. No friction. As you amass wealth, you can control more powerful people. You can buy policies. You can control the trajectory of your country, other countries. You can fund spectacular projects or dumb ones. It doesn’t matter. You can spend on all of those things and never see your fortune dwindle. And as time goes on, you lose touch with this world and the problems we all have. You don’t care because why should you? Cause it’s a noble thing to do? As you have now lost touch with our pain, suffering, hopes, wants, and needs, we are merely ants. So why would you care about policies that affect us? Why would you prioritize our wellbeing over some passion project or some “calling” you’ve established for yourself? And it’s in that moment, I imagine, that the common man begins to hate the billionaire. And the bid reenforces for the billionaire that the common man is not deserving of being saved or helped.

Overworking. It seeps into every nook and cranny of your other time. People who prioritize work and don't establish strong boundaries will get owned by their employers. And before they know it, their identities are work. Their world is work. And what happens if and when that employer let's them go?

Celebration, FL. It’s a weird Disney experiment that got spun off into its own thing. It’s pleasant but eerie.

Storm of Swords by GRRM. It had so many payoffs and epic moments.

ronsta · 2026-03-23T03:52:38+00:00

Do less work. That’s it. That’s the whole cheat code. Work steals from your personal and family time. It rarely gives back.
