Showerthoughts

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.

Smh video games these days a too easy. Fast travel, aim assist selectable difficulties. All these things take away from the player. And now gamers can't even rage quit on their own. Damn vibeo game does it from them >:(
One of the things i like most about Hardcore mode in KCD2 is that fast travel, your compass, and your location on the map are all disabled. You have to really learn the map since a lot of places are in the middle of a wooded area. It really ups the immersion.
Edit: Forgot some words when posting half asleep.
I feel you. When I repurchased Fallout 3 on PC I was pleased to find a mod that replaces fast travel with a motorbike and the need to scavenge fuel
Does fast travel make the game easier? I would argue no, it just saves (real world) time. In fact, choosing to not use fast travel could be considered easier, as you're forced to fight low-level annoyances and level up.
This mfer never played fallout 4 on survival.
