Touché…  
Well, Im naive, is why. And gullible. Hopelessly hopeful, that somewhere, there are people that can talk without puking. People of sense, humor & civility. Humans that care about others than them selves. I know, right? Silly me.

My question is:  
How come people with nihilistic tendencies play games at all? I thought they were busy not caring? 😉

Because people do meaningless things constantly.

Playing games is just one of them.

Understanding that nothing matters is different that railing against those who think it does.

Agreed… but what do you mean, btw? Idle banter? Aloof & proclaimed intellectual display in a pointless location? Pray tell, mam!

Literally everything we do is purposeless in the grand scheme of things.

Why not enjoy ourselves while we spiral into the void?

Not at all.

I find the irrelevance of human existence endlessly comforting.

Hmm, why would anyone listen to you, if thats the case? And why respond to me at all, if thats how it is? To pass time? I mean, why not play games instead, like you said?

How do you know Im not?

Multitasking is a thing.

And why?

Because better to enjoy oneself while spiralling into the void than getting all emo about it.

I don’t want to die in an atomic blast, or by getting headshot, orthe like. I’m pissed at the thought of not being able to experience death when it hits. What a ■■■■■■■ waste of two (!) lifetimes that would be. 😠

It has really turned into a quite fun thread, this. Pointless & abstract, but fun, nonetheless lol!

I have no idea what it all means or to whom it may be addressed either, which only makes it more weird and fun 🙂
