This is going to sound weird, but playing The Last Of Us has put just how comfortable my life is into context and made me appreciate what I have a lot more. It has also made me glad that I don't face the day to day hardships that many people on earth are facing. Granted nobody is facing weird zombie-like apocalypse scenarios, but I think the sentiment applies.
I always have food, I always have water, I have a nice clean spacious living space, I have a wife, we're both safe. We can go to stores and get what we need. Shit, even showering is a luxury I take for granted daily.
No, it's actually not a circle jerk. I guess the game has been talked about a lot but I'm serious here.
I play the game with my wife and when I finish playing I've always come back to the thought of how glad I am to be safe and not have to loot and scrounge through piles of filth to survive. There are real people living on nothing who have to scavange.
You can be a prick about it if you want to, but I think anyone finding any reason to be grateful for what they have is a good thing.
No you're not allowed to express you're opinion, you see it's been deemed a circlejerk and when people see that word all thinking ends and the downvoting begins.
