  • Eeh.

    While I agree with the sentiment, I think we’re in this situation because of the current medical climate.

    • You call an ambulance? You get charged an arm and a leg.

    • You take yourself to the hospital, you get charged an arm and a leg.

    • You get medical insurance, and you’re somehow even further behind because it’s their priority to find reasons to deny having to give you money back,

    The current system does not work. As a consequence, people are attempting, however incompetently, to take their care into their own hands.

    Fix why folks are resorting to this, and this should stop being an issue, or at least stop gaining traction.





  • This is specific to the videogame-ish sub-genre, mostly Isakeis…

    But you go out of the way to include RPG mechanics into your story… but the only real influence it has on the storytelling is spending an inordinate amount of time grinding… a mechanic explicitly added to RPGs to pad the game.

    There are good video game based stories, Survival Story of a Sword King and Dungeon Reset both immediately come to mind… but I feel like this is a widespread problem.
