Here are my words, as a 23-year-old (almost 24(!)) Nintendo gaming mathematician: Stop chasing after emotional highs. Instead, be complacent with contentness. Lesson I learned a while back during my early uni days, but constantly need to remind myself of. It's an unhealthy coping mechanism to deal with stress. Do not recommend!

All games should be 40 bucks and half the length that they are. That is all.

So you want Mina the Hollower to cost double?? /s If you're looking for some inexpensive that is short-and-sweet, Mina will scratch that itch. There's also the Star Fox Remake.

Spend less time online.

That's a big one. The internet really is a funhouse effect: whereas you see everyone and their mothers panicking at the thought of AI on social media sites and forums, you go out into the real world, and most people are fully open to implementing AI in their daily routine. In my education course, everyone there is always talking about how cool the AI chatbots are, how effective a tool they can serve if students utilize them in a smart manner; i.e., not by cheating on assignments, but by asking questions such as "Could you please fill-in-the-blanks on my lecture notes? I feel like I missed some details when copying from class." As far as gaming is concerned, well... I mean. You have the launch of Switch 2, you have the online popularity of Sonic not translating into juggernaut sales figures, you have PS5 selling as usual despite the online outrage over their digital-only pivot, and the list just keeps going.

Haha you know what I mean!  Of course the games already cheaper than 40 would stay the same prices.

Follow the golden rule.
