Ohhhh, now I get it!
This really says a lot about society
We live in a game
that's what psychopaths realize and exploit their whole life. In a way, all of us non fucked up people are like NPCs in their big psychopath MMO

I loved the post, and I love your snarky response. I feel like this is exactly the level of insight a showerthought should have.
One of the rare showerthoughts that I like, nice one
The Outside is a pretty cool game. There are indeed shops there.
Just be sure you have enough money to pay the shopkeeper, the in-game justice system can really set you back if you try and steal items.
Recently most clerks are coded not to summon city guards, but random NPCs may start aggro depending on your race & class.
Too bad it is Pay to win and the Devs do not listen to the non whale users about problems.
Too many of yall haven't played Hollow Knight and I'm sick of it.
Yup. Yesterday, I was shocked to find out my favorite soccer game of all time PES was completely free of charge. It is now called "e-football", but you guessed it, microtransactions everywhere. It did have a whole store for buying "coins". Me being me, I've just been playing for free and having the time of my life 😂
