    **** all to do with sacrifice; it's about how to spend time that you already have.

    Yup. It's all about striking a balance between self-interest and the good of the community. But this kind of discussion makes my head ache. I'm going to bed now! :) Have a good night!

      Just finished Planescape: Torment on GOG.com[^] after a good 40 hours play. Awesome game, recommended if you play games for their story. Now, to find something new to do... :sigh:

      If you played Planescape: Torment, you must be a fan of classic D&D game (just like me). If you are not, then try Baldurs Gate (I & II) and Icewind Dale (I & II), its awesome :3

        What a novel idea! Do you actually suggest unselfish sacrifice for the good of the many? That seems so very un-capitalistic! So very much against human nature. Do you know any politicians that live by this mantra? Yes, politicians are always ready to call on you to sacrifice. But how many of them lead by example? :^)

          Planescape Torment was widely regarded as the best computer RPG for a long long time!.... :O I quite liked Never Winter night, mask of the betrayer and Jade empire as well....

            Work! When you finished working, work some more on something else! Then work on other things and go to bed thinking about work! True happiness is always working on something until you become a work-machine that knows only how to keep occupied working. Reading, playing games, listening/composing music... it's all waste of time! Order your dinner and ggroceries online so that you can do some pretty work instead of going out! Don't do shopping or visit fairs unless you need something to work on!

              I find heavily modded Skyrim and add to that Anaal Nathrakh for atmosphere, pretty much brilliant. And Skyrim is the kind of game, I will probably use more than 40 hours to play. :-D

                    Neverwinter Nights (especially 2) is one of my favorite games ever :D I didn't care much for Mask Of The Betrayer because you had to eat souls or something like that. Very annoying... :^)

                          I've been playing vanilla Skyrim mostly for the story, but mods make everything a few times better. I predict spending a lot of time on it. Considering Anaal Nathrakh, I've been going through their discography, but just can't get past Eschaton. I mean, those first three albums are so intense and brilliant, that I'm not quite ready to go forward. Even though I started with Vanitas, but that was about a year ago. :)

                                  Work is what you get paid for, to keep shoes on the table and ensure that the children always have food to put on their feet! "Free" time can be spent on doing things you love doing. If you love playing games more than writing original code solutions that might make other people's lives easier, fair enough. Me, I've been living out of hotels since the middle of January, with a gamepad in my luggage that I've only plugged into my laptop twice, in all that time (for few minutes, each time). I just don't get much personal satisfaction out of games, any more. So much to do (that I'm really good at doing), so little time. Following a path that some game dev team has designed for me to follow just doesn't do it for me, any more.
