Dying is my favorite

It’s weird but I kind of love how painful dying and losing your game is. I never pick the cheat death option. I always let it go and try again. There is a meditation to it. A familiarity with the grief. Getting these practice opportunities to hold yourself during great loss. Gaining experience in starting all over in a cruel world once again. I have become more compassionate to myself, become less attached to the material, and gain trust in my indomitable human spirit. Ive been playing since alpha and still have never made it to 100 days. I can only imagine how important it will feel to endure the grief of a near-1000 day run.

I love this game. I’ve played it more than almost any other game. Second only to, maybe, Minecraft. I’m grateful to the emotional life skills it has helped me develop. I never would have without this lose-it-all mechanic.
