She fell prey to one of the classic blunders.

Also, somehow or another I guess it’s gotta come out.

Probably only recommended if you’re financially independent and live elsewhere. If things go poorly, you need a way to be able to leave. And if you have those first two, it’s probably best to do it slowly/gradually.

But for your first question, “That’s horrible. Why would you wish that on other people?” is often a great go-to to make people introspect. They might not do it in that moment, but your kids calling your thoughts and desires horrible has a way of sticking with you. (Source: am a parent)

And if you don’t live with your parents, you could even throw in, “What if I lived in California? Would you still wish for the hurricane?”

As far as people with lower-end systems being unable to enjoy newer titles, I’d like to point you to the prolific and endlessly creative indie scene. Yes, you may not be able to play the latest AAA “Skyrim Ultra Remaster DX: Penultimate Boogaloo - GotY Edition,” but there’s lots of gems out there that don’t require the latest GPUs.

But as for realistic graphics, there’s actually an aspect you may buy be aware of: game companies actually influence the movie industry. Because games not only have to deliver realism but realism in real time, they have to constantly invent new techniques. The movie industry picks up these techniques and makes better movies.

Plus, IMO, improvements are always welcome. Death Stranding had some of the best mocap I’ve seen in both the movie and videogame industries, and don’t feel those improvements were wasted effort.

The D’ni.
