  • Just Cause 3, but I’m honestly a bit tired of it now. I love just wingsuiting around the place and I’ve never found anything else that gives me that same level of catharsis.

    I do switch to JC4 occasionally just for a change of scenery, but the wingsuit feels too… floaty? In that one. Idk, just doesn’t feel the same.

    I am desperately open to suggestions for something similar in terms of brain off flow state gaming.

    Lol, you can dream, just don’t pre-order.

    Edit: actually, going to expound on this. I predict the following:

    An initially buggy, but impressive engine with a mediocre, and probably too short single player story that will be overshadowed by always online crap that you can’t turn off. There will be one or two missions that are news-worthily provocative in some way, featuring overly graphic sex and/or really REALLY violent. You’ll probably have the option to play it in co-op mode. It will ship with online multi-player. will have game breaking micro transactions from the start, and the online space will be utterly toxic from day 1. They will milk this engine for the next 20 years until it (and we) beg for death. You will be able to dance. Like in fortnite, dance.








  • Depends what specifically you’re talking about when you say “dying.”

    Do you mean the process of it? Or do you mean what comes after?

    For what comes after: Think about all the time before you were born and the big bang. That’s what it’ll feel like. Ever had a nap for 5 seconds, only to wake up and realise you’ve been asleep for an hour? Picture the deepest sleep possible. The remaining time between the second you die and the heat death of the universe will pass in an instant. It really is nothing to be afraid of.

    If you’re worried about the actual process, just realise that you live in the absolute best time in terms of medical treatment, pain management, and scientific break through. I don’t know how old you are, but I’m willing to bet you’ve got decades in you still. It’ll suck when it happens, but the longer you live, the less it’ll suck. The chances of going badly (from a medical thing anyway) decrease every day. So stay active, eat well, and look after your body.

    But don’t let that interfere with living your life.

    This Kurtzgesagt video was instrumental in helping me to chill out and just get on with it:

    Optimistic Nihilism

    ETA: The way you talk about life:

    just keep on moving forward, keep setting goals, keep making progress

    Stop. There is nothing wrong with standing still for a minute and catching your breath. My advice to you is to stop looking forward for a second and just focus on existing right now.

    Once you feel comfortable in the day to day, then you can look a little further ahead.
