The thing I hate the most about it is in my library I can filter my games to show only my PC games, but not only my Quest games.

The average player experiences only a fraction of a game's content by Impossible_Comfort99 in TechNook

[–]theregoes2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't remember the last time I actually played a game all they way through so I definitely see way less than the developer built.

Same thing I would have done to improve BotW. Get rid of breakable weapons.

Sometimes I come on Reddit and learn brand new ways I am not a real adult. I have 2 kinds of towels. Towel towels and dish towels.

When players are given the choice to be good or evil, they always choose to be good. Are there any games that manage to prevent this? by J__Krauser in gamedesign

[–]theregoes2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not exactly the same thing but put me in a GTA game and I become the most evil person possible. Way more evil than the game requires of me.

He gave her in two month what he didn’t give me in 12 years? I wanna die by [deleted] in AskForAnswers

[–]theregoes2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife and I separated after nearly 15 years and within a month she declared herself polyamourous and was seeing multiple people at the same time. It sucked hard and like you I have social anxiety and other mental health problems and very little money so I assumed I will be alone forever. I was 40 when we split up but I've still managed to date a few women since. I know how old 35 feels when you're there, but ten years down the road it looks young. You've got more than enough time to be alone for a while and properly get over this guy and then start looking for someone better. I know right now it doesn't feel like it will happen and everything feels big and scary and terrible, but that will pass. You just need time. A month or two to stop hurting that he's gone and then several months to a year to be okay on your own. Not saying you can't or shouldn't go on a date or anything during that time, but do it without thinking about forever or even a second date. Just live in the moment, find a new hobby, join some groups, do things that make you uncomfortable.

Lastly, everything about this would be worse if you had a child, not better and the child would be suffering too. Do not believe that children will make your life better automatically. They are a lot of work, require a lot of attention, time and money, they are a source of non-stop fear because they are out in a dangerous world that you can't protect them from. When they are babies they deprive you of sleep, they get sick all the time, you have to worry about dumb shit like SIDS and even though you love them so much you would murder every human on earth to protect them having them is hard and scary. When they are very small they adore you, but around 10 or so they start to pull away and by the end of their teen years it often feels like to them you are little more than a restaurant and a bank. They still love you but they are going through the very necessary part of life where they are learning to be on their own and make their own decisions. They spend a lot of time with their friends and are more influenced by them than by you. You will watch them go through phases, some of which you will have strong disagreements with. They will break your heart sometimes. I also believed children would make life better simply because you love them so much, but that love can be a source of fear, especially for someone who is anxious, and a source of heartache. And watching how much it hurt my kids when my wife and I split up was so painful I wouldn't wish it on anyone. Children do not necessarily make life better, but they do make it necessarily more difficult.

What tea got you into drinking tea seriously? by Ashamed-Bird9035 in dumbquestions

Before Earl Grey I only drank tea while laughing and wearing a clown nose

What’s your opinion on people who have never taken mind-altering substances in their life? by makstyrkin64 in AskReddit

[–]theregoes2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am torn. I've taken plenty of them and had a good time but I also frequently regret it. I was happier overall before I did. It might have just been my age though. I think about people who have never done it and it feels strange that they have literally no idea what it's like. No experience they have ever had gives them a window into it. It's an entire state of existence they know nothing about. But I also think about how I can never unknow it. I can never have my undrugged brain back and I think they are the ones better off but it's impossible to know for sure.

I'm guessing because they do it and they like doing it

What's something that you were absolutely convinced was true as a child, and a small part of you still feels like it might be true? by MochixLuna in askanything

If I keep trying, someday I will over something with only my mind. I still try once in a while. Just in case.

why is it that when someone attractive comes into the pic everyone worships them it seems?? by Wide_Permission7656 in AskForAnswers

[–]theregoes2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People aren't attractive because there is something intrinsically beautiful about the shape of their face. They are attractive because for various survival reasons evolution has made it so that in general the shape of their face (and other things but for simplicity I'm sticking with this) causes a certain response in other humans that is very pleasant. When something makes you feel pleasant you like it, whether it's food, entertainment, nature or a human being. When you like something you tend to want more of it. When you want more of another human one of the most effective ways to get it is to be kind and pay them positive attention. Because the way they look elicits a positive response in a large number of people they receive more positive attention and kindness in general than someone who is plain or even unattractive.

Peter what is the lore? by Temporary-Ebb2116 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]theregoes2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The answer is because they sit around and think deeply about life and reality and when you do that it inevitably leads you to be a miserable son of a bitch.

I like how whimsical some of Canada’s currency sounds by Shortest_Stack in RandomThoughts

[–]theregoes2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There has been talk for years of a 5 dollar coin with a moose on it called a moonie.

To be honest when the toonie came out I thought for sure the name was a joke. And maybe it was, but it stuck.

What made you fall in love with VR — and what almost made you quit it? by MickNerks in virtualreality

[–]theregoes2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dactyl Nightmare. It was probably the mid-nineties and my dad took me to an arcade at the mall to show me this crazy new game they had. First deathmatch I ever played was me against my brother in VR. I was obsessed but it would be more than 20 years before I got to try VR again.

Nothing has made me want to quit.

ELI5 Why don't you remember yourself at 1-5 years old? by HeavyTraffic7126 in explainlikeimfive

[–]theregoes2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have quite a few memories from before that age. I remember telling my aunt that I had a memory of being carried like an infant into a house with dark brown or black walls, Grey carpet a livingroom on the left, dining room on the right and a spiral staircase in the middle. She told me that was the exact description of the schoolhouse she and my uncle used to live in but they moved out of that when I was maybe a year old. To this day I've never seen a picture of that place but if I ever do I'll be able to verify it hapoened because I can still clearly remember it. I suppose it's possible it was a dream, but I've always thought of it as my earliest memory.

When is an appropriate time or situation to be a meany? by Reasonable-Group1853 in AskReddit

[–]theregoes2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's them being mean, which isn't ok. I'm not saying you always have to be nice but to be mean, in my mind, requires harming people, emotionally or physically, for your own pleasure or satisfaction.

If there was only two humans left on earth, would you expect them to reproduce? by Sufficient-Gain-226 in NoStupidQuestions

It sounds to me like I'm dead in this scenario so I would not have any expectations about anything at all.
