It's nice to know that other people have also dumpster dumped a valuable.
My dad and I searched for said valuable for hours before finally giving up.
My dad wasn't happy that I threw something so costly in the dumpster. And though he wasn't a dick about it, I've always carried the pain for throwing it.
I've done it again. I've wasted my time.This is the umpteenth time, I am floundering about with ideas in my head, splaying on my bed like a bloated corpse on its way down the creek, wallowing in the tart indifference—the very same that I show to the idea of a career—that the world around so casually shows towards me.
But I tell you, it's the futility of my game that traps me here, and not a voluntary imprisonment agreement.
I know for a fact that every fabric of my story has been spun by someone other than me, entirely. Patterns upon patterns—that I see everywhere: on the walls, in the drawers, in action of others, and even in my planned reactions—remind me of that very fact.
It's too late to think any less of it, even if I were to try.
Now, I would never dare try.
I am satisfied with the answers that I have found.
I often find that It's much easier to finish something I've started than start something I haven't.
Yeah, exactly!
It works for me only when I don't have a close deadline. The stress of a close deadline is just very hard to deal with. I can't think straight enough to "just do it for two minutes". My brain won't allow me to work only for two minutes at that stage, it's either do it or don't.
Yeah, there's certainly a degree to how SciFi something is.
But you could remove their scifi elements and tell star wars and Dune as fantasy stories and you wouldn't loose too much substance. I'd call them science fantasy at best.
But star trek, though it has magic, relies heavily on the SciFi concepts to tell a story. I'd consider it SciFi through and through.
I mean those things are valid. But I see this decision as one of those "the one that got away". There's a billion people there, someone was in the right place at the right time.
I've always thought of scifi being very adjacent to fantasy.
Dune, star wars are basically fantasy stories packaged with scifi elements.
I've always wondered what makes a SciFi story SciFi and I've come to the conclusion that for it to be SciFi it must be an exploration of how technology effects the human condition.
Restructuring might have been the better move imo.
Not laying them off, but reorganizing the teams into multiple smaller studios and telling them to use the Id engine to work on new stuff. More chances of failures, but less risk and more new IPs.

Thanks for the ideas.
I think this will be my golden rule gooing forward. Designated pocket in my bag.
Thanks
I wonder if ADHD fine would work better, because of the implication that it is a mandatory penalty.
My pants do have zipper pockets, but would you know it ...I forgot to zip them up.

I feel the same way. I wonder if it's a trauma response - overcompensating so as to not disappoint the person infront of me.
Hey, that's a neat twist.
Yeah, exactly!

High five. I got mine for saying "fuck all nazis and colonial apologia".

The moustache was the one keeping him alive .
"I am changing the terms of our unspoken agreement"
I am sure there's many who feel the same when hubbies shave 🪒.
Sigh
Oh wait, I misread your post. I was advocating for violence against nazis.
No, reddit actively promotes hateful content if anything. As long as it is advertiser friendly. They couldn't give a fuck about banning them.
Valve doesn't really publish much does it? Other than a few obvious moneymakers.

What do you think?

Seriously, even though I feel bad for the devs. The injustice to Mic was bad. Out of touch executives, man.
But he's doing good. His new game defect looks fucking awesome.
How did you replace the crack that's niche communities?
