I mean, ideally I’d want a ranking of every decision I ever made in my whole life on that scale, so I could thumb through it.
My favorite concept for an afterlife is being handed a magic book that contains the answers to every question like this where it’d be impossible to track the data, and it would be able to display it in any way you want.
What was the single thing I did that had the last direct impact on myself, that had the greatest lasting impact on anyone else?
Things like spending the extra time one day making a cup of coffee made it so this specific person was stuck behind my slow-ass speed limit driving, averting what would’ve been a multi-car pileup or some shit like that.
There are a few.
1, my Mavercade KeebBrawler-01, which has been pretty comfy for Street Fighter 6, which itself I can’t count as my own best purchase since it was gifted to me.
2, Monolith M1070C headphones. They’re the first pair of closed-back headphones I’ve ever had that I don’t hate wearing for extended periods.
3, Final Fantasy 14. My girlfriend’s been playing since its initial release, and some of my other friends collectively convinced me to join. In the last couple weeks I’ve already put somewhere in the range of 50 hours into it and it’s been a good way to bond with everyone.
It’s currently free on YouTube (or at least it is for premium users).
Assuming the price is exactly the same on both platforms (or even within like $10 if I’m not getting a Steam key from the GOG purchase), I’m buying from Steam every time. Mainly for the convenience of having it in my Steam library, so I can’t just flat out forget that I own the game already when I finally get around to playing whatever it was, because god knows I don’t immediately play straight through the vast majority of games I buy.
One of the (thankfully) only times I saw one of these fuckers it was on my ceiling above my desk. I left early for school that day.
Literally the only annoyance I had with it initially was that I preferred my taskbar at the top of the screen, and you can’t move it, at least not without janky registry hacks, on Windows 11.
I’ve since gotten over it, because for me and the vast majority of people, it’s functionally identical in almost all cases.
The only other thing I can think of that’s still a rare annoyance is that sometimes, completely at random, Windows Explorer, if you’ve just left a window open in the background for a while, will just rip focus from whatever other thing you were doing.
Yes, they’re trying to shoehorn their copilot AI thing into the UX, but that was so easy to disable and forget that I refuse to call it a real problem, myself.
