I buy keepers on GOG and then place them on separate drives. On Steam i buy stuff I'm ok with losing. It's one Gabe away from exploitation shenanigans.

Pull up in a white van with no or blackened windows and offer them candy. Oh and make sure "Free candy" is scratched in on the sides of the van. Wouldn't want people getting the wrong idea...

Now for the serious advice, don't do dumb jokes like the one above. Kids need honesty. Screwing around for shits and giggles is always a bad idea around them.

It is what it is.

It really is that simple. But simple doesn't make it easy.

Simple stuff is often the hardest to succeed in. Sure, you can do it, but can you do it well? Repeatedly? Over a long period of time?

Doesn't sound so simple anymore. But that's because the simplicity is a starting point. You build on it, make a foundation you can depend on and fall back to when things go wrong.

Going outside or exercising are simple things, but make no mistake, they're also a lifestyle. They become a part of who you are, something to cherish, protect and develop that you dedicate a part of each day to. And that's not an easy thing to do. But once you do it, you'll know it was worth the hard work.

Unless you meet that special kind of driver...

genuine answer: oh yeah, I'm fine. Thanks. I was going for that approach. Glad to see it worked.

Lies! It's all lies! Don't believe the magic-touting adbot! They're just a freezer shill!

My mistake about nutrients in frozen fresh food. Everything else though, just your average adbot lies.

Frozen food is less nutritious than fresh food. And maintaining it frozen at the required level needed to maintain the minimum of nutrition is expensive, both during distribution and storage. If the company even bothers to respect that.

By the time those frozen veggies reach your freezer for you to keep them up to a year, their nutritional value might be so low you'd be better off eating cardboard.

Adbot please! Scientists can't figure out how to keep ice crystals from fucking shit up at the genetic level in industry-specific cryogenic pods and you expect me to believe a Walmart level freezer can keep food fresh and unspoiled after they imported it from halfway across the world?

Just.. go away.

Maybe you died and the game automatically went back to the last autosave.

But what if we have a midnight craving for virtual violence? Isn't satisfying that a worthwhile goal if it helps us sleep better at night?
