Know something I've learned over the past year or two? Being able to love something and not be angry about its flaws is extremely underrated.
Of course, you don't have to settle for mediocrity or compromise your morals, but not everything needs to be completely perfect to still be enjoyable.
This applies to every facet of life, from video games to current events to your daily routine.
Learn to appreciate the goodness and enjoy this beautiful life God has given us!
Also, if anyone is curious why this thought popped in my head...
It's thanks to my return to GOG. I gradually grew apart from GOG over the past couple years and returned recently thanks to the new ownership.
Ever since I returned, I've been having a blast. Not that I've quit Steam, because I absolutely have not, but it's genuinely a good feeling to be able to appreciate and enjoy the greatness of both Steam and GOG at the same time. No fanboying, just enjoying both platforms!
It's also tied to how I feel about the drama and doomerism people seem to really be pushing.
Take the retro community, for instance: we all grew up in a better era and we can be homesick for that. That doesn't mean nothing good is releasing in modernity. It doesn't mean everything new is slop.
I enjoy both the old AND the new and my joy is fuller because of that. At the same time, I don't support mediocrity, but I don't feel bent out of shape when I come across it. I just simply ignore it.
To end this rant, I just want to say that if you are able to stop looking at all the bad stuff in life, the good stuff shines brighter.
When you learn to look beyond what the system shows you to keep you ineffective and depressed, you start to see so much beauty, so much hope in this world where everyone seems to have lost all their optimism or desire to do anything except ironically become the eat-ze-bugs NPC drones they unironically mock daily.
God didn't intend for us to stay depressed.
@JakobFel I think your last paragraph here really drives home something important... Being able to enjoy both old and new and how your joy can be fuller because of that.
There is a guy that I work with who is a big movie and video game guy, yet he's always complaining that all the movies and games coming out these days are terrible and he's not looking forward to anything.
I'll tell him, "Dude, if you would broaden your scope. Movies come from all over the world and there is a TON of awesome looking stuff coming out that I'm excited about. Same thing with games if you start looking into the indie stuff."
He doesn't want to hear it though. He just wants to be grumpy and reminisce about nostalgic times...
