life and videogames

like many people, i think about really weird things before i fall asleep. especially last night.

i had a fun time entertaining the thought of our lives being compared to a side scrolling game. the main connecting points being:

  • focus on what’s going on right now (the present)
  • use information gathered in ‘the present’ to give yourself a rough idea of what’s coming next [the future]
  • if you stop moving forward and start to sink back into things that have already happened, you die.

so, to recap. present: super important. future: moderately important, should be given consideration but only so much. past: stagnate and die.
