  • There are so many amazing games to play. If you wanted to, you could cut off all future content from this day on, and still have more than enough to remain entertained for the rest of your life.

    If you can’t make each game better than the last, people will just go back to the last game. But if you take away the last game, they’ll go to the new game simply because the same game but worse is still better than nothing.

    Isn’t this true for every form of media though? Books, TV shows, movies, music; there are multiple lifetimes worth of content for anyone that wants to look for it. What makes video games so special?



  • They also tried to pull people in by releasing a new game for free every week (even AAA titles!), which was actually the coolest thing they ever did.

    You’re using the past tense, but they’re very much still giving away games for free. On a related note for OP, I’m pretty sure amazon prime gives away games for free too, so if you don’t know where to start, you can always start with something that doesn’t cost you anything (extra, assuming you have prime).



  • why do people have this innate ability to underestimate what we might be capable of?

    Because we can see what we’re currently capable of in terms of climate change, and the outlook is pretty bleak

    why do you think its impossible for us to become masters of our own genome?

    Because even in the best case scenario, this is dangerously close to eugenics

    not getting off this rock means our species is doomed regardless of how ‘perfect’ we keep earth.

    If we can’t keep earth livable, an entire self-regulating planet that’s been livable for hundreds of millions or billions of years, what are our chances of keeping anywhere else livable?
