If you haven't already, when you're done, you should give Sky: Children of Light a go, it's the next game that dev team made, and it's great (if occasionally frustrating due to bugs that stem from the CEO being a greedy bastard, but the game itself is still beautiful, the devs are definitely trying their hardest, and they're getting better at at least compensating players when it gets too buggy). They even have a Journey outfit that gives you a special calling voice! (though it is an IAP 😭)
You not believing a thing, doesn't mean it isn't happening, it only means you're either not paying enough attention, or choosing not to look, in all likelihood to preserve your own comfort. So I'll say it again - take your head out your ass, and check your privilege.
It's part of the deliberate conditioning of capitalism/fascism. The more people are made to believe that, the fewer people will think of being mean to those oppressing them, and society at large.
In mine, and other cases here I'm sure, it's called "a collection of chronic illnesses that cause an enormous amount of pain and other symptoms, that flare up every time you move", but that's good to know anyway, thanks!
There are a lot of people who genuinely believe shit like that, even on lemmy.
I've not read them all, so I can't really rank them, but I do share Are You An Anarchist? The Answer May Surprise You! often, and of course there are the renowned Bullshit Jobs and Debt. I'm sure other folks can add their own suggestions..
It’s 2025, $710 is pocket change for anyone who can still afford to eat.
That's seriously out of touch, check your privilege.
The game is now available on like 4 different platforms, including PC.
As for the FOMO, I agree, it sucks, but if you're good at not falling for it you can ignore it completely. Only a very small number of items are actually limited (ultimate gifts you get from buying a season pass), the rest are just on a cycle which means they can take some time to collect, but are not unobtainable.
Anyway, I'm not here to sell you on anything, if it's not for you, it's not for you.. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
