Yes I loved that one! Played it not too long ago. They did an excellent job remaking that whilst keeping the feel of the original games.
I do agree with your points for the most part. But I wonder - do films need to be constantly grabbing our attention? Sometimes a bit of downtime can enhance the subsequent action.
And boredom isn't necessarily a bad thing. It can push us to try new things and be creative, to consider our thoughts. If we have short form content available to fill every last second of our free time, it begins to feel like we have to fill those moments, otherwise we're wasting our time.
I think delayed gratification is a good thing, regardless of whether the delay conveys any benefit. Constant reward feels less meaningful. But yes it's a cost/benefit analysis - I wouldn't watch three seasons of a show in order to get to the good bit.
I agree with Analogy's take on this. I don't think it's based on 'needs'. Selfish people are, and have always been selfish regardless of the situation. Stress does exacerbate it of course. And it's unfortunately the case that we live in a world that doesn't reward kindness. But despite this there are a lot of people that are kind because they want to be, because it's rewarding for it's own sake.
Celeste is hard, but so rewarding! And the OST is stunning
I'm on S3 - I've done all except the biggest standard puzzles, and I've been working though the mega and colour picross. One day I'll get there...
You're right, that's a good way to look at it. I don't think I'll come anywhere near to completing all the standard Picross S games any time soon
Mostly PS4 and Switch games. Although I did buy a PS3 the other year and I'm gradually building up a collection of classics! I also have some Gameboy, GBA and DS games (but no cases unfortunately). What vintage consoles/games do you have?
Lovely framing. Looks beautiful there
It has also trialled what it called “love bombing” in some of its stores - being extra attentive to customers, including asking if help is needed at self-checkouts, to act as a potential deterrent.
Wow. Now when someone asks if I need help at a self-checkout I'll wonder if they think I'm trying to steal something!
Many thanks for this list! Some great looking books in there, and I do enjoy the sound of unique sci-fi/fantasy settings
I like mint chip a lot, but I feel like a nice quality strawberry wins out 9 times out of 10. Now I'm craving some ice cream :')
Ahh that's ok, thanks for confirming. Perhaps a future update to Lemmy may change things, but it's only a minor concern regardless.
