Definitely. And plenty who regret not doing it. Such is life.

100% they do mean it.
I never really wanted kids. But me and a friend had too much to drink one night and I was a dad at 22. It's the best thing that ever happened to me. Now I'm 30 and have 3.
People tend to focus on what you give up and not what you gain. Parenting presents a huge amount of moments and activities and feelings that you would never get otherwise.
Both paths are good. Just different.
I wouldn't trade the first time my daughter said I love you for anything in the world. Or even the first time she smiled. You could offer me any amount of money or holidays and I wouldn't go back and miss that.
I have a good support network so I can still go out when I want to. I could go on holidays without them if I wanted to. I could buy them less stuff and myself more. Nothing is stopping me.
But I wouldn't trade a moment of it.
It has totalled them as the items are sent everyday after they are introduced.
But when you are talking about professional games development that is a very specific thing they almost no one is doing.
That's a really ridiculous example though. No one is doing that.
When I have thoughts like this I imagine that I am dealing with a friend who is having these thoughts.
If your friend was constantly struggling with their mental health and you were trying to help them would you call them an toxic, horrible, emotional abuser? I don't think you would. I certainly don't feel that way about my friends who struggle.
I also try to look at the evidence. Is there any actual evidence that people feel this way beyond your own thoughts and feelings?
Mental health is constant battle and separating real life from your condition can be an incredibly hard but rewarding exercise.
I'm sorry you're struggling so much.
The difference is now you wouldn't be able to buy it at 20 either.
You'd have to work pretty hard to get on cigarettes and hopefully most people just won't bother.
Nicotine is still bullshit as are vapes. But as far as we know vapes are the lesser evil.
Except they aren't like food. Vaping isn't required to live. It's purely recreational and aimed at children.
But I'm happy with either regulation or a ban.
This will be the big test of if being brought out will help them.
They're sitting on such amazing IPs but have just fucked everything recently. Except diablo 2. That was great.
I live in hope as warcraft is still my absolute favourite game series.
Well yeah that's the idea.
I imagine they could sue to cover those costs though
