Or you could just finish the review before you post it. You haven't breached the character limit yet either.
I'll admit that this review has diverged from the whole "real life as a game" theme, but I found those "real life fucking sucks!" reviews really annoying. So I just had to get a few things off my chest.
1. There's only 2 of those reviews, and at least one of them is satire.
2. Real life does suck. You just happen to be in a place and time period in the world that doesn't suck.
Real Life sucks sometimes, but not all the time. People just like to accentuate the negative because they're losers.
Meh, if you want to take your relatively good life for granted, go ahead.
No no no, I do understand how lucky I am. And that's why I find my life worth while; I find it good because I'm grateful for what I've got. I am well aware of the suffering that millions of people around the world go through each day, and if I could fix it, I would. But I'm not a god, so I can't do much more beyond giving a few dollars to charity every week.
Besides, constantly moping about the dark side of the moon is unhealthy.
They don't just mope around. If you think something sucks, then you have more of an incentive to change it.
Yes, there is a problem with this world, and yes you do need to acknowledge the problem in order to fix it. But there are people who take this mind set too far in the other direction and rant on and on about how humans are evil bastards. We may be flawed, but we're not all that bad.
Nature is responsible for more problems than humans are.
^ So very, very true. We have made great advances in technology, but for all our knowledge, we cannot control our world. Throughout our very existence, humans have vied for control over the environment. We learned to control fire, and the ways of irrigation and the wheel, and we have made colossal monuments and dams and canels that cut through like rivers. But if a plague or an earthquake hits us, we cannot stop it.
And sorry for being so condescending to you earlier.
It's true that plagues and natural disasters are extremely deadly, though I was thinking more about issues like scarcity and limited resources.
Modern society takes things such as clean and easy water, food, shelter, and reduced diseases for granted too often.
^ And that too.

Looking for a way to troll eveil and then finding out I agree with him about something is... unsettling?
Trolling becomes much easier when you stop limiting yourself only to people you don't like.

Reality is a mirror
Many folks argue that there is a set, concrete meaning in the universe, and live by this, either through religion, or philosophy. Others argue that there is no meaning at all.
But in reality, perhaps there is meaning in this world because we give it meaning. This universe has been around a lot longer than we have, and will continue to exist long after we are dead and gone. But that's what makes the universe wonderful. It is the only universe we've got, and it doesn't begin and end with our deaths. Even after you are gone, people will continue to experience reality.
Even if there might not be an ultimate truth in the universe, our beliefs and ideas are still important because we draw strength from our ideas. Regardless of which religion is right (if any religion is right), religion is important to people because it gives them hope, and something to fall back on when things get hard.
Even if you are an atheist, life is still precious because our existence would be a miracle, due to the odds of life being small. So don't take life for granted, as you're lucky to even exist. And although we are not finite, and our actions are not gonna last forever, they do have a legacy, and our actions have an affect on other peoples actions, so no action is truly pointless. For instance, if you have a child, that child could grow up and have more children, or if you win the lotto, a guy who bet all his money on the lotto is gonna be broke.
Humans are not perfect, and we have done some pretty stupid and horrific things throughout history, but we are not evil. As for those nihilists out there who believe that Humans Are Bastards, thinking they are evil goes against that philosophy, because there has to be good in order for there to be evil and vise versa, and nihilists believe that there are no true moral values.
Humans are not necessarily good either, but humans aren't the physical embodiment of good and evil; we just do good things or bad things, or sometimes we do bad things for good ends or good things with selfish motivations, or amoral things, and it's all very complicated. And moral values often vary between individuals. But our decisions do matter because, for better or worse, they will have an affect on others.
