Don't hate the player, hate the game.
   Suggestions for alternatives to the game are welcome. Saying "omg so
   fucked" is basically a useless culturally biased statement.
   I also don't like the attitude of "shiny shiny stuff" being just that.
   Most of our shiny stuff we get for good reason. It's easy to forget
   that you don't need much, but even easier to forget why we do have
   these things.
