It's about nostalgia friend. I was introduced as a kid and I will never stop playing the game till I die I guess.

I have a simple solution to this: I am not playing the game.

Games are necessarily voluntary, otherwise they're something else. Just because someone wrote in the rules of the game that everyone is playing doesn't make it true.

Just because you say you're not playing doesn't make it true!

Yes it does according to the principle of voluntary participation.

If you have a different principle you want to propose that explains how a person - or all people - can be forced into playing a game just because someone said so, then we can discuss it.

counterpoint: life is a one big game and nobody was asked if they want to participate

As long as we don't accept your loose metaphor as reality then no, life isn't a game.

[–] shneancy 1 points 6 months ago

true lol, not really my metaphor though, it's rather popular

I am not playing so I don't have to follow the rules!

The rule of the game is that if you know of the game, you're already playing.

The year is 4562 AD, an archeologist finds a treasure trove of discarded hard drives. Takes them to their lab, through decades of research they have relearned methods on how to access and read the information stored in these ancient magnetic tablets. Through his biologically integrated holographic neural graphic user interface the archeologist reads:

"You have lost The Game"

The archeologist grabs the pile of hard drives, dumps them in a barrel of hydrofluoric acid. As they contemplate the solution bubbling before them they pick up a gun and say "nobody will lose the game again" and shoot themselves in the head.
