A while ago I asked whether you are a do the good thing first or save it for later sort of person, like eat the best part or whatever.
Now I’m curious if it was a zombie apocalypse, would that change your calculation?
So not in daily life, but if you found something good but you know you’ll likely die soon.
Do you consume it all now (not just food, but media or friendship), or do you dole it out to yourself to make it last?
Bofem
based on my gaming style, i finish the game having never used my rare consumables because the time never seems quite right.
Have you ever arrived at the final boss and notice you still have every single consumable you’ve ever picked up in your inventory? And then you still try to defeat the boss without using any? Yeah…
I do that not because I don’t wanna waste something when it might come in more handy; I do that because 90% of the items are simply junk and don’t help even when I use them and simply forget to sell them because I rarely go to shops since they never sell anything useful anyway. 🤷♂️
I hate how my brain will sit there and say “that’s good, you played enough of this game, you’ve read enough of this book, save the rest for later, next time,” when I’m literally doing sweet fuck-all afterward, no plans, nothing to do except continue the thing I was doing, but no. Brain wants me to stop.
There’s your answer.
Wouldn’t change me. I always like to save something good, gives me comfort knowing i have something up my sleeve i can use if i need to.
But if im dying? Probs use it all at once or give it to someone who isnt dying (unless im all alone)
This is such a lovely answer, thanks.
Imma cannon ball into a lava pit.
This makes me think you’re empathetic enough to not be able to think of a world without other humans. I like that. It’s a good place to be.
It was actually a metaphor for post modern avantgarde multipartner relationships with ai robots.
USE IT ALL NOW, RIGHT NOW! IF I DON’T USE IT NOW IT WILL BE FORGOTTEN.
Yeah in like a llife or death situation I’d be more pragmatic but as it stands I can’t just let things sit.
I just wonder if it’s fine to leave something for those who come after you, though …
Thankfully the resources I consume are rarely needed by others in my local vicinity
I’m a “if I set this down I’ll never see it again” person. A “start with the minimum I think I’ll use and get more as necessary or I’ll become an accidental hoarder” person.
Depends on my mood, but the important thing is that I am comfortable doing things in whatever order I feel like.
At a buffet I may eat desserts first, last or in the middle. If I have a limited amount of something I do consciously decide whether to eat them all at once or save some for later. Sometimes I make the wrong choice and that is ok.
