A brilliant comment from AlteredOne in a DAoC-discussion, valid as a general principle:<\/p>\n
As for Johnny’s comments, I think it they are illustrative of the degree to which really horrible world designs can eventually appear normal and acceptable to those who stay in the “game.” I’ve seen myself doing it, getting sucked into the “this is simply the way it works and I guess it’s not so bad” mentality, then snapping back when reality somehow intrudes. Namely, the reality that my so-called “game” is a nothing more than an all-consuming chore, and I would be better off doing yard work. Fortunately I actually have a yard now! It was easier to justify catassing, when I lived in a townhouse with a homeowner’s association doing all the outside work for a ridiculous fee.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
