Refuting dumb arguments against physical games🚀
🗣️“85% of players buy digital”
✅15% or even 5% in this industry is still millions of people bringing in hundreds of millions of not billions o revenue
🗣️“Netflix and Spotify ended movie and music Blu-Rays and CDs”
✅Movies are still being sold on Blu-Ray and 4K UHD Blu-Rays, and music is still released on CDs, vinyl records and even collectible cassette tapes that actually work, despite being far smaller and less demanding than video games which can go over 100GB
🗣️“I haven’t bought a physical game for 10 years! It’s obsolete”
✅Your experience with games does not automatically reflect everyone else’s. If you don’t care, don’t get in the way
🗣️“It’s expensive to make games on disc”
✅Games won’t be cheaper when man all digital. You will pay the same price for a glorified rental that can be taken any time due to licensing agreements or account loss/suspension
🗣️“You’re too broke, you want to buy second hand and resell games”
✅Being a bootlicker to corporations that don’t know you exist, does not make you any less broke than those you accuse and posture in front of behind a keyboard
Physical games should always be an option. Video games are far more than just a file to download or “access” to gain. They hold sentimental value to players and collectors.
Raise your voices, players, game makers, gaming and memorabilia stores. Let us overturn this predatory decision!
Video games are an art form, not just a business and the value players hold for them should be honored and not reduced to a code to redeem and a download to revoke😎
i have no desire to be rich so i can buy a rolex or a lamborghini.
i want to be rich so i can control my time and go to the gym at 3pm on a monday.
sit at a cafe and relax for an hour on a rainy afternoon.
so i can cook meals at home with fresh ingredients.
spend on my family and friends without worrying about a budget.
that's my idea of a rich life, not the fake consumerist idea shoved down my throat.
you must create because the thing you’d make doesn’t exist anywhere else. nobody has your exact combination of experiences and wounds and obsessions, which means the work only you could make is genuinely irreplaceable. if you don’t make it, it simply never exists. the world just goes without it, never knowing what it missed. that’s the most exciting thing about being you. the thing is waiting and you’re the only door it has.
Hard Pill to swallow as an adult:
At some point, you will have to disappoint others to live a life that's honest to you.
People pleasing will drain you, not save you.
You have every right to set boundaries and choose your peace. You can disappoint people and still be a good person.
@amanda_rischel There were so many moments I enjoyed but seeing her struggle with whether or not to continue and seeing Cantarella urge her forward. The dynamic between them made me so happy to see. Like a big sister and little sister. :3
i think long-term stress changes people quietly. you become less expressive, less excited, more tired, more detached, until one day you barely recognize the version of yourself that existed before survival mode.
My mom looked me in the eyes and said:
“If you disappeared tomorrow, no one would even notice.”
Everyone laughed.
I raised my hot dog and said:
“Challenge accepted.”
That night, I packed two suitcases, left my key on the counter, and moved three hours away.
No note.
No goodbye.
For 29 years, I had organized every holiday, baked every birthday cake, scheduled every appointment, and solved everyone’s problems.
For free.
The first week, no one called.
Exactly like my mom predicted.
By week two, my brother had called 47 times because he couldn’t work the washing machine.
My sister couldn’t renew her car registration.
My dad missed his medication refills and ended up in urgent care.
By month three, my mom hired a professional organizer for $200 a week to do what I’d done for free my entire adult life.
She quit after two weeks.
Meanwhile, I was living by a lake, taking pottery classes, and sleeping in for the first time in years.
Then my mom finally called, sobbing.
“We fell apart without you.”
I listened quietly.
Then said:
“Challenge completed, Mom.”
And hung up.
Turns out people do notice when you disappear.
They just never noticed when you were there doing everything.
