I mean if you want an honest answer it's because "stepping over it" isn't even a conscious action anymore, that's just how walking over that region of floor goes, and changing that pattern would at this point be more effort

Which is how it's possible, I guess, for me as an adult to still have cardboard packaging in the corner from a package I ordered from Amazon in spring of 2017

The weird thing is that, sure, in most of polite society this is a horrible moral failing, but it's also a *cognitive capacity* most people seem to lack? Like how for like a month at one job I had a computer without a working mouse

And I was just like "You know what, it doesn't take that long to get used to navigating Windows with keyboard shortcuts A mouse is actually completely optional, and in some ways slower"

It literally only got replaced because something else on the computer didn't work and when the IT guy came in and found out the mouse didn't work he was outraged

My sister used to rib me saying that the job I was most suited for was clearly "homeless person" "Arthur's superpower is he can get used to anything Remember when he didn't pack any winter clothes for college and instead of fixing it he just spent the whole time cold"

I guess to sort of drag this back to video games, this is why I don't care much for persistent-world simulation games and am strongly drawn to their logical inverse, the roguelike genre (or, even better, the rogue-lite genre)

A game that throws you into a random situation -- one that may be completely and totally unfair -- and demands you adapt to it in a short period of time And if you fail, well, whatever That world gets trashed and you start again with a blank slate

It has a certain resonance with the way I live my life "Well, this run isn't going well, guess I'll have to pull the plug and move to a different state soon"

So would that include games like Civ? Or is that too long form?

Civ, much like the actual game Rogue and its original "roguelikes" that "rogue-lites" are lighter than, takes too long

This is why I like multiplayer games. I want to rep and iterate. Long games take too long.
