Oh man, lets play in that space! I have several questions:
Are you some kind of magic lamp that I can talk to that will respond?
If you’re responsive, are you the same person as you are now, but in lamp form, or are you a different person?
We’re you always a lamp or were you transformed by some kind of wizard curse?
If you were a lamp before we met, how did we meet?
what was our first date like?
Am I a lamp too? If so, was I also turned into one from a wizard curse?
I just cleaned up my downloads so I no longer have it, but a couple weeks ago it was a copy of Maid: The Role-Playing Game
Because Steam’s DRM is entirely unobtrusive, it doesn’t require online-only gameplay and the customer experience is excellent.
When Epic tries to compete with Steam they don’t look to make a better user experience, instead they bribe developers for exclusivity deals to force people on their platform if they want to play a game on release.
That would require them to have the ability to perceive consequences in the future.
These are the type of people that get a notoriously unstable job making 6 figures on a high school education and immediately lease a brand new $80K truck and start a coke habit because they can currently afford it.
Sometimes you can have a thing that isnt a computer. Sometimes you can just have a glass door. I promise it’s okay.
I often explain it as though they’re asking an airplane mechanic to fix their Honda Civic. The principals are the same(fuel goes in, rotation comes out) but the machines are so different that doesn’t help much from a practical standpoint
I do the same thing but leverage networking instead of Linux.
“Sorry, I dont actually know much about computers, but let me know if you want advice about port trunking or configuring a VLAN”
I think youd get much better flavors doing an infusion rather than a ferment.
No way man, I get to do a rad world building session with my girl where we work out the details of a whole AU where I might love a lamp.
I love dumb shit like that
