You illustrate your point very well, and with it you've helped me make a more clear decision. Your emphasis on the ability to choose, the luxury of multiple options, has clarified for me that I do in fact have quite a few options. I can chop out Acti-Blizz, JK Rowling, and WotC and still have tons of great sources of media. I have so many other choices.

With clothing as you've stated - and I think food applies here as well - I don't have much in the way of choice unless I want to make my own clothes/grow my own food - and I do not have the skills for that.

But with video games, which themselves are a luxury, I can stand to be a little more picky. I can always pirate the games later :)

My friends keep telling me that getting the game is unethical because it supports Wizards, so I've not gotten it yet. I know Wizards is shitty and sent the Pinkertons to someone's house, but does this game actually directly support them? Can anyone here weigh in on this? Should I just pirate the game instead? It looks fun, but I also don't want to put my money in a bad place.

It's so incredible watching these mod teams make progress. I wish I had the time and skill to help them, because I absolutely would. They're doing such amazing work! The Skyblivion and Skywind teams have so many passionate people working with them.

Yes, as long as Lemmy gets over its growing pains. Regardless, I won't be going back to Reddit unless they actually listen to their users (but they won't).

This is really fascinating. The brain is truly such a complex tool that we can do so much with. I appreciate you sharing your story/stories with us. The brain hacking reminds me of how others can hack their brain to lucid dream. What you are doing sounds even more complex than that, however.

Would be curious to hear more detail on your method, should you choose to share it.
