Just because you don't like inventory management doesn't mean others don't.

as boring as my actual job

Again, subjective, considering the popularity of job simulator games, like truck sim.

Here's another question though

"Would I like this game more if I didnt have my cool item right now?"

Hard to say yes... But in practice the answer might very well be yes. Challenge in games is rarely something you directly ask for, you want the reward after all, but often the fun is in exactly overcoming those obstacles, and not actually the reward. In that sense encumbrance might feel bad.. but being able to grab every single item always could very well ruin part of the fun.

In the end games are sets of challenges presented in certain ways, and its just whether those challenges work well from a game design perspective.

Also did this person really refer to an experience they had 12 years ago??

I can't even remember the shit that happened to me 2 years ago. The world was an entirely different place back then.

This is a bit of a faulty reasoning though. Just because something happened in history doesn't mean it has to happen again. Especially if we wouldn't have been here if the worst happened. If nuclear war happened and destroyed human civilization, with most, if not all, humans dying off in the aftermath, then we wouldn't have been born and here talking about it.

And there have been very bad parts to history. For example, being a Jew or other minority in Germany during the second World War (or most of anyone really, it was a world war). That might as well have been the end of the world for many. And we also didn't just get through tough times by itself, people worked hard to change things.

The part about the broken things, they may destroy the objectively good progress that has been made if they are not handled. And things won't get fixed by themselves.

Don't worry, if by the of the century significant parts of it completely melt giving space for inhabiting it, better transit will be built then!

This is capitalism, not communism.

Neither does just existing in public?

That's not really the point with the car privacy issues.

But then "didn't want trump" is still literally true. It's just that enough did.

Except at the time it was a shock to most people. The consensus before the invasion was that Russia was just posturing. But then they went for it.

Ehm, no, the criticism for parasocial relationships isn't that you're a "parasite", it's that it can be unhealthy for you if you're not careful. (Unless the parasite is targeted at the media person, in which case some do exploit this for profit and fame)

And it's more than just liking a media person. It's about feeling as if they are a friend that you personally know, and treat them like that.

What? The components are the same and work exactly the same way, maybe on just less power and different thermal configurations on laptops. Meanwhile phones use a different CPU architecture (at least, I don't know the specifics of the rest), and a completely different OS structure. Meanwhile laptops use the exact same operating systems as desktops.

The same software will work the same in a desktop vs a PC, but that is not the case between a pc and a phone. It could in principle, because they are capable of the same things, but in practice it needs a rewrite, and so a lot of software doesn't exist on phones.
