This never happened to me. My parents didn't like videogames...

>>382479638
I sometimes wonder if doing this actually improved my enjoyment of the game. Nowadays I know every detail of the game before it's even out but back then I was enjoying shit like Dave Mirra

Buy a game blind. The less you know about a game before you play it, the more you'll enjoy it.

>>382479638
my mom would just give me money and i'll go check the store, then i'd note the games i want and look them up on the internet

>>382479638
I enjoyed opening them in the car and reading through the manuals. Which made me even more hype for the game.

>>382481186
I grew up poor half my childhood, then with a cheapskate who didn't know how to handle his money. My spending habits are fucked.

Best advice I ever got was from a therapist who told me to use my savings account as a "scoreboard".

How the fuck does that work?

>>382482664
you niggas in Australia call your mums 'mom'?

>>382482710
Not that anon but I imagine the sentiment is "try to go for a high score and put away as much money as possible." Makes sense for somebody not used to saving money or balancing finances.

>>382479638
Science should try to figure out why so many things feel so damn good when you're a kid. I've tried to simulate the scarcity you experience as a kid but it doesn't work at all, the brain chemistry simply isn't there anymore. There must be some evolutionary reason for adults being so jaded. I'm sure puberty diverts much of our attention and dopamine to sexual activities but even then that stuff eventually goes from mind blowing to "eh pretty nice".

tl;dr: Why does adults need to take drugs to experience the natural state of a happy child

I use both but mainly mom, I don't think other Australians do but I grew up in a pretty upper class family so maybe that's why
Idk man

>>382482986
Because no matter how hard you try you can't unremember all you've seen to this point, hene the jadedness when you're especially wanting to relive the feeling of naivete, being unable to, then creating a negative feedback loop.

>>382482986
Because children know nothing, and everything is a novelty to them.

As you grow up you literally burnout on life.

Maybe you can could become a full-normie without drugs, convincing yourself normies things etc... but I don't know how.
Knowing how it works and how meaningless it is... it's hard to unlearn.
