I'm with you there. It's going to be cool and I really want it, but I've already completed it a bunch. I'm never going to be able to get properly excited like I would for ES6

What irks me the most about that kind of attitude is the idea that stuff has to make money to be worthwhile. It's perverse. Nobody is allowed personal growth or passions any more, absolutely everything needs to be grinded out as a side hustle.

Tell someone what you do or create in your free time and half the time they'll start asking what your channels for monetisation on that are. Do you sell it on etsy? You making videos on that? Why not try contacting local business and selling that skill? Did you know you could sign up for this signal-boosting ad-share service to maximise engagement so you can easily compare your ROI?

And inside you're dying because "dude, no, i just wanted to try my hand at making a spice rack"

They're right on the money. We're getting double the oblivion!

One of the daftest people I ever met managed to beat 3 of us at once at chess. Would routinely kick my ass every time and it wasn't even close.

The kind of person who absolutely would have injected bleach to cure covid.

I'd say you're a pretty good person. Taking responsibility and accountability for your past actions and learning from them is a good thing.

You did shitty things. We've all done wrong at some point in our lives. As long as you're actively trying to be better today than you were yesterday, you're alright.

I wouldn't say silenced, i don't really stand for anything, I'm just in it for the shitposts and easy feeling of company.

That said I have been permabanned arbitrarily 3 times.

It's expensive being poor. I used to get charged £15 if I didn't have the funds because I wasn't allowed an overdraft. Being unable to pay £5 left me with £-8 frequently. Because apparently I was allowed an overdraft if they did it to me.

The Chao racing from Sonic Adventure on the dream cast. You could take the memory card out and use it as a tamagotchi to care for the little guy and make it train so it gets faster and stronger in the real game.

It got no better than that.

I'm anxious about watching them too. I loved the feeling of hopelessness and inevitability they left you with, but these days I'm just not ready for it. I think it's because we're all living with a standard baseline of that sensation now. It's not a novel, if unpleasant, feeling you get to experience for an evening after watching.

Not as intense, but basically the same as how war veterans with PTSD don't really want to watch Saving Private Ryan.
