Yoshi-P lied

Ikara is like a few posters around here. They will argue in circles with you until you give up out of frustration, and say that you need to chill as they continue to rile you up. I guess that's considered a win? It's not really about being right. It's about having the last word. But yeah, I don't really engage with them if I can really help it.

But Ikara isn't saying that RO41 can't enjoy the things they do in the game. Ikara also isn't showing a lack of empathy either. They did the same things went through the same things. Yet because they say they will be fine mostly in the long run that if for some reason the servers shut down later today or something came up to the point their sub went lax for so long that they lost their in game house that they're some how not showing empathy. Or that they're some how telling RO41 that they're not allowed to enjoy the thing(s) they enjoy in the game. They're just saying that you can still enjoy your house, but you realistically shouldn't be as attached to it as some are. Which is probably an unhealthy thing to do. You shouldn't get so attached to something digital to the point where if you lost it tomorrow it's going to affect you so badly that you'll be a sobbing hot mess for the next week or whatnot.

That I can agree with. If I were to lose my house, yeah I'd be disappointed, maybe a little salty, but I'd get over it.

Be she wants to be more righter for some reason.

And I agree with this as well.

It's not even that I'm obsessively attached. But you read what she went through. You think that's an enjoyable experience? I like housing enough to never want to go through that shit again, so I'm encouraged to keep my sub active so that I can both enjoy this content and not have to lose my mind. I'm not quitting, I'm bored. If I didn't want to play anything but combat* then yes I'd just quit completely. But that's not the case.

It's just lack of understanding and empathy. We can both be right. Be she wants to be more righter for some reason.

The discussion is really just:

Me: "I wish I could unsub and not worry about the things I worked for."
Them: "Why do you care?"
Me: "Because I care.."
Them: "Yeah, but you shouldn't care"
Me: "Sure, but I still care."
Them: "Yeah but come on, just quit and leave it all behind."
Me: "Nah.. I care just enough."
Them: "But Yoshi is gonna delete it anyway"

You see how dumb that is? lol

"Why enjoy life, when you know the universe will explode"

You are obligated to agree with the conditions of a contract in Real Life. The same sense of obligation is agreed upon when you play a video game, whether it has a subscription or not.
You want a house, knowing about demolition and the requirements for a subscription to prevent it? Either you are obligated to fulfill the conditions for the house, or you decline the contract.
What is there to argue?

"Yeah well you signed the contract, HOA has the ability to take your home if you don't pay the $20 fee"

Sure, but it's still fucking stupid. lol

Do people here just blindly follow and are okay with all contracts and obligations? Now I know why capitalism is destroying us.

I'm glad at least one person understands where I'm coming from. I know folks don't like me here and I get labeled all the time. I simply just see things for what they are. I can say til im blue in the face that I understand why folks feel the way that they do. I just have to point out that in the end we have to operate around the systems presented to us. And if we'd rather not we always have to choice to not engage. I don't care to be "more righter" nor am I talking in circles. People will just disagree with me and sadly...I can't do anything to change that. Their minds are made up.

Enjoy what you will people. Just don't disregard the reality..

You're welcome. I have also had similar "conversations" where the person you're trying to have a discussion where they're just not understanding for whatever reason what you're say. To the point where even though you do your best in trying to be clear in what you're trying to say the other person doesn't or refuses to try. To the point that they start claiming you're saying something you're not. Or trying to change the scope of the conversation.
