Abiotic Factor. Looks like it should have come out in the early 2000s, but so tight.

Ignoring lint issues comes to mind as an at least somewhat reasonable use case.

I guess that’s one perspective. Another one might be that their marriage wasn’t as great as they thought it was in the first place.

Kids are stressful, no argument there. But blaming kids because their marriage buckled under the added stress just feels like an easy excuse. I suspect there were deeper issues that those people weren’t particularly interested in exploring.

They bring happiness, and a lot of other things too.

Yep, just like how every single other answer in this thread isn’t universal.

Kind of surprised no one has mentioned it… But kids. Kids bring a lot of happiness.

Shh, don’t brag about it

Canada: we’re the best at being annoyingly modest while simultaneously feeling smugly superior.

If you give me cash, I’m probably just going to be boring and invest it.

Some people rarely prioritize fun things. Gift cards force them to.

I just bought a drive from them last month (from Canada) and just received a $60 duty bill. The time before that I got nothing. YMMV

Funny you compared the atmosphere to Night in the Woods, the same sound designer did both games.

I think you touched on how to make pay it forward work: make it as low effort as possible.

In this case, while you had lots of work, the people “paying it forward” had almost none. Thus the chain was able to go for as long as you were willing.

I think that’s my main complaint with the game. Once you find a way to beat the boss, you just go for that build every time. It’s so punishing and the path to get there is so long, that it’s a massive disincentive to try new things.

Negativity bias is real! I was reminding myself just today that for every act of hatred, there are ten thousand acts of love or kindness happening unreported all over the world. In homes, on the streets at the store…

Don’t let the news get you down. Things aren’t as bad as all that.

I’m currently using Unraid for pretty much every thing you listed, and I love it so much. I really appreciate being able to set up almost everything through the web interface. It makes my hobbies feel fun rather than just an extension of my day job.

That said, I bought the licence before they switched to a subscription model. So if I were starting over I might look into free alternatives.

You can still buy a lifetime subscription for Unraid, it’s just a lot more expensive.

100% this.

For me I got so immersed in the world and character that it didn’t even occur to me to save scum. This RPG is so good that I actually felt like I was living the story. The only game that ever managed to accomplish that.

The Firefox example is actually the reverse, Firefox funds the Mozilla Foundation. This is a case of an open source project successfully monetising through search referrals (mostly from Google).
