interior design in my future home will be as follows:
salt lamps. everywhere. no real lights
the walls are all blue and teal in varying shades except the bathroom. bc that shit will be purple with lavender accents goddamn it (and a PURPLE salt lamp)
really boss ass curtains that on one side are like ikea design goals and the other will be hentai faces because yknow what i think thats terrible enough to be good
clown painting on the outer bathroom door as an omen
bedroom will be just a bed and some dope like, bookshelves or w/e
three foot tall ornamental cthulhu bong centerpiece
“Years ago a friend of mine had a dream about a strange invention; a staircase you could descend deep underground, in which you heard recordings of all the things anyone had ever said about you, both good and bad. The catch was, you had to pass through all the worst things people had said before you could get to the highest compliments at the very bottom. There is no way I would ever make it more than two and a half steps down such a staircase, but I understand its terrible logic: if we want the rewards of being loved we have to submit to the mortifying ordeal of being known.”
after YEARS of seeing this quote online and finding it to be the most deeply and resoundingly profound writing i finally found the source article and absolutely nothing could prepare me for this opening paragraph
Avoid video games that use extrinsic motivation. A video game should at least mostly rely on intrinsic motivation, meaning that the playing of the game itself is the fun part, not the reward you get for playing the game. If you don’t enjoy the gameplay, but you want to earn lootboxes, you’ve fallen into the intentionally exploitative system operating within so many games nowadays, and you need to find another game, because you’re not having fun.
It doesn’t sound serious, but this kind of thing can make depression way worse if you’ve already got depression.
This post got me to stop playing Overwatch and I’m eternally grateful.
where would games that tell you your motivation rather than let you find your own motivation be? like OoT vs majoras mask? OoT has characters tell link hes the one that needs to beat ganondorf on a regular basis while in majoras mask your shit gets stolen and when you get it back you actually see how bad shit will be if you just let it happen.
