I've seen that to this day, people on other social media believe Tumblrs userbase wanted the boob ban as a feminist liberal thing and that if you admit to liking breasts on here you'll get ripped apart by a social justice mob. Meanwhile one in ten Tumblr posts are like "sigggh can't stop thinking about gargantarooni milkazoids 🥺🥺☺️🥵"
ok I got into an argument with someone in my media class yesterday so I’m just gonna say it:
No video game should cost $70.
I’m sure the new Zelda game will be great, but no video game should cost $70. “But if you adjust for inflation, this is actually less than what the Wii games were,” cool. No video game should cost $70.
We no longer live in a world where a kid could save up their allowance for a couple months and then be able to buy a video game. Just buying one has somehow turned into such a grandiose adventure it takes all of the fun out of getting a new game.
The only possible benefit might be that, with games being so expensive, people might be more likely to pick up an indie game because those companies can’t afford to sell those games for a lot.
This is becoming normal. I used to be able to buy four ds games for $70. What the hell.
And you know damn well that Nintendo can afford it.
I hope a lot of $70 dollar games get returned at the rate of Cyberpunk with how poorly they’ve been running on even newer systems. I hope the impending recession bowls them over like a truck.
I am very serious if a game both negatively impact your mental health and is the source of all your joy, it means you have an addiction problem and you need to delete your account and uninstall it and cry for however many hours you need to get it out of your system.
Your lifeline CANNOT depend on a mobile game they're predatory as fuck.
I'm not here to be like mobile game bad evil. But if you love something, you need to 1) recognize it's flaws and 2) cultivate a healthy relationship with it.
Think of your hobbies as a relationship. If your friend is constantly trying to extort your money and is making you feel awful whenever you're not giving them your full attention or failed the tasks they gave you, then you probably wanna set some boundaries with that friend no matter how much you love them.
That's the boundaries you need to set with your mobile games.
If you don't wanna quit cold turkey here's what I suggest.
- Quit for a week. Deliberately break the habit and miss a event. Afterwards if you wanna go back, you still can.
- Get an app blocking app and control/monitor how many hours you spend on the game
- Get into a new interest or hobby with a friend. Can be a long running show or a hobby. Something that isn't addictive substance or gambling. Use that to distract yourself as you set your distance from the game.
Anti-addiction PSAs regarding mobile games always focus on how much money people are spending. And that's an adult problem. It's bad but it's not all of it.
Increasingly I am also seeing young people who doesn't spend a cent but has their mental health hanging on their performance/participation of these games. And you deserve to know that's also an addiction issue. Ultimately it's up to you how you choose to deal with it.
I don’t remember how long I might have stared dumbfounded at this garfield comic before I finally finally processed that it’s because the food was spicy
yeah it’s way funnier if he’s just Like That
