Here’s a thought. Get rid of the extra services, give us streaming music only like when it first came out, and charge us only for the shit we actually use.
Not addictive in that you won’t form a chemical dependency. But anything can be psychologically addictive - weed, binge eating, video games, even going to the gym.
Most of the time my gf does the cooking. I’m the primary breadwinner, plus she loves to cook. I do too, but she does more. I do other stuff around the house - clean up after the cats, clean floors, take out garbage - but cooking is her deal.
Breath of Fire 3. Spoilers but you’ve had decades to play.
The first boss, the nue chimera, you’re supposed to kill it because it’s terrorizing the town. You then find out as it’s dying (because it uses its final breath to jump in front of a cave to block it) that it was just trying to find food for its cubs that have already been dead for a long time. It also played some somber music during this discovery.
Guess it depends on your city. In my city I have literally seen a homeless person throw food back at the person who gave it to them and scream “I ASKED FOR A DOLLAR, BITCH!”
For people who don’t get it: Duck Hunt was the most popular game that used the NES zapper. The way it worked was when the trigger was pulled, the screen went black for a split second except for a square of white. The zapper read the screen to see if it was aiming at the square and that determined if you hit your target. It only worked on CRT TV screens.
Honest people played as intended - standing at a distance, using the zapper like you would a gun.
Dishonest people would hold the zapper right up to the TV.
Chaotic people would just point the zapper at something producing white light (like a lamp) and fire away, technically never missing.
At least for me, turning 30 felt liberating in a sense. You’re not really described as young anymore, and expectations of you are different.
I still care about social issues but I don’t feel pressured to be militant about them, and even if someone tried to exert that pressure I wouldn’t care. I can just say I’m tired if I don’t wanna do something and that’s considered a valid reason.
Dating? So much less pressure. I know who I am and what I want, as do others in their 30s. You figure out if you’re a good match pretty quickly.
Sure, it takes longer to bounce back from injuries, hangovers, etc and the simple act of getting up makes more snaps, crackles, and pops than a bowl of Rice Krispies. But overall it feels like I can live my life the way I want to and nobody cares. And that is a good feeling.
Pretty sure the show I saw in 2015 was also touted as a farewell tour. In which he kept addressing us as Toledo. Wrong city. Wrong country. Dude has been on the decline for a while now, and I’m glad he’s now at peace.
Training. Like all the other breeds. You need to train a bloodhound to track without getting distracted. You need to train a husky as a sled dog, to work with a team. Any of those breeds can be violent with a bad owner or improper training.
I remember the old Pokemon Pikachu tamagotchi-like toy had a pedometer. It generated watts that you spent to make your pikachu happy.
