  • I am not one of those children that clutches their pearls for family members to give what they busted their ass for away for free. My father just paid off the mortgage of his home. It is his.

    And he paid it for over 25 years as people like us lived in and left it. It is just unearned entitlement for any of us to come to him, demanding or expecting something he earned through hard work.

    And it is something generations after his wont understand. You try being 66 years old and enduring the grind for so long to finally have something like a home to yourself. And not have a thought of reluctance of just giving it away.

    It is ironic considering how much of a clutch todays generations have with their phones. Does anyone think they are the kind to give a home away when it is paid off? You tell me.











  • My argument is that, the purpose of the Autumn and Winter Sales is we’re expected to see staggeringly great deals. That is why so many people have looked forward towards every year with Steam. When you see a game that’s been consistently 20% all year, it’s been released 6 years ago for example and it’s active on the Winter Sale with the same exact price as it had been? It defeats the purpose of being involved in the sale in the first place.

    It’s a matter of to each their own as to what game they think is currently having a great deal and that’s factored in whether or not that they have it. I’m seeing deals of games where I admit, are at extremely better price points than when I originally got them for. But I also can say that there are games that are on sale right now, where I remembered getting them at better deals way back when.

    I’ve already pointed out that it’s also likely that I’ve been acquiring a majority of the games that I want and that if I partake into this sale, I’d only be spending for the sake of spending which may likely not be worth my expenses.



  • The prices aren’t impressing me, then again, they really hadn’t impressed me for 5 years in a row now. They’re exactly the same as I’ve seen them in other sales, except the other sales mark them down slightly lower.

    Granted, I’ve acquired nearly every game I’ve personally been scouting for so the thrill is mostly gone. I’d only be spending just to spend on things I don’t quite need and not want.




  • I think it’s mostly because of how rapid the internet was at becoming more accessible. It was inevitable as to how big it’d become.

    And the opinion then changed from that to “The internet never forgets” which was more in the mid-2000s and early 2010s. This is 50/50 because it really depends. Some sites shut down for good, so if there was anything or anyone on it, then we can safely say the internet forgot. But that opinion mostly applies to whenever someone becomes a lolcow or someone who generally does something so stupid online that it’s everywhere. Hence the internet communities not forgetting.
