Scott Hanselman 👸🏽🐝🌮Funny how I can manage a massive todo list of errands, build and repair devices and electronics, successfully manage a budget, and juggle complex interpersonal relationships IN ZELDA but not in real life.
Zoe Landon@shanselman I was gonna be like "to be fair on the building/repairing part, you can't just goop things together IRL" but that's just soldering innit
Leo Dion@shanselman I still need a todo list on my iPhone for all the stuff fairies require for my upgrades
Asymmetricblue@shanselman if I could save, take a break, restore to a previous save, and fail/die and restore like in games, I expect I would be better off too
John Bowen@shanselman That's what happens when you have well designed software supporting all of those activities. Nintendo is really missing out on a potential IRL market for their productivity tools.
Dale Hagglund@shanselman I was finding your post super discouraging right up to "IN ZELDA". Thanks.
Tamir Bahar@shanselman I want automated quest tracking in real life!
Billy O'Neal@shanselman It sounds like you are reaching EVE levels of the-game-is-your-job now
dontony@shanselman link doesn't get interrupted by needing to eat on a regular schedule, or poop, or shower, or remember to take advil for knee pain and claritin for allergies... and his house (even if you leave it open to the elements!) doesn't need to be vacuumed. And he doesn't have to wash dishes...
Payman Ferdosali@shanselman very funny hahaha
Jeremy List@shanselman people are crediting save files but I think the ability to pause is the thing that really makes it possible.
zblesk@shanselman I don't have a switch, but I suspect those things actually being *fun* might also be a factor 😁
Benjamin 🇪🇺@shanselman I've always wanted a personal CRM to be able to manage that better… and I can definitely empathize.
Rui Carmo@shanselman there are no bubbulgems in Outlook caves.
