Let’s Play
My relationship with spending money on the potentially expensive game I play is, in a word, complicated. I was fully happy, maybe even proud, because I pulled a character and slapped a decent weapon on her. Then, I watched some videos, and I dropped hundreds. Saying I regret it, though, would be a lie. I did use a card I hadn't been meaning to use, and I went a little overboard. My bad. I wouldn't say I'm uncomfortable or ashamed of my debt.
There are characters and weapons I could have done without, in hindsight, but meh. Truthfully, I've been good about knowing what I want. Yeah, it's excessive, but being on benefits in the state I'm in means I have to "use it or lose it" in terms of those benefits. Legally, I'm not allowed to save. And, at the moment, I'm not interested in adding more fragrances to my collection, so...
It's not like I'm toxic about making in-game purchases. I don't think I've ever put anyone down for not having something, and in general, my advice to anyone is that they don't need to spend money. In my view, almost every able-bodied person has an advantage, so why would I give anyone shit, because I can do more damage on paper? That'd make no sense!
Now, I'll absolutely judge them for their poor builds, which they could improve for free with a little RNG and dedication, but I keep that shit to myself, unless I'm asked, because at its core, this is a single-player game. I don't care how far they can get in the "end game content." Why would I? Yeah, we all have our own opinions about characters and whatnot, and many of us have changed our minds. But, I'm never coming from a place of "Oh, I'm so much better than you!" I'm smart enough to know I'm not.
Add: But, at the end of they day, who cares? I mean, I'm very careful about what I say; truth be told, I hesitate to even ask how much anyone has spent on the game, because I don't consider it my business. So, if anyone has a problem with my spending, then that's not really on me, and I'm not responsible for their choices, either. We're all grown, I think.
Twitter is, uh, getting really wild, huh? I'm trying to mind my own business there, too, but it's getting difficult... Um, just as a small thing, but seeing someone admit they're no longer going to put forth effort, because they're not getting enough engagement is such a sad statement. Anyway... I know there are bigger issues.
