I guess I'm just an armchair armchair-spotter, haha!

I suppose that would be a gotcha if I we're actually trying to read into a scenario I know nothing about, rather than just calling someone else out for doing so.

Yeah, armchair psychologists often like to throw out the "this isn't what it seems" argument with such conviction that they forget that it still definitely could be what it seems.

That's why I'm glad I live where I'm more likely to complain about it being -40.

Doesn't look anything like the reference, but it's great in its own right.

I've got a bunch of work to do next week, but technically none of it absolutely needs to be done tomorrow. I'm sitting here hoping this isn't me when I wake up.

Makes sense. It's not uncommon for people who aren't paying attention to accidentally slam on the gas instead of the brake when they see they're about to crash. Almost certainly what happened here.

Yup, and it's more fun when you let yourself have challenges. Sure, it's easier and more efficient to stealth behind an enemy and stab them in the back, but it's more exciting to go in swinging, even if you're only wearing leather armor and haven't trained your sword skill very much!

Yeah, I appreciate when my grocery store has an awesome sale on the products I wanted to buy, but that doesn't mean I'm going to pay them more or anything. To your company, you're just a product.

Unfortunately, the government was never the good guy, either. It's meant to be a voice for the people, but it almost never is. We need to become educated enough as an entire population to keep companies in line ourselves, because governments side with corporations more often than not.

I've had to specifically put a hard stop on my usual thought process while playing games, in an effort to get back to how I played as a kid. If I catch myself strategizing too much to the point where I'm not even playing anymore, and am just going through the motions I already planned out, I purposefully make myself do something completely against the plan just to put myself in the kinds of situations I'd be in as a dumb kid who did the wrong thing, since that was the last time I had real fun playing games. It doesn't always work, but I do have more fun than I did earlier in my adult life.
