"I'm nervous that the burn out factor in D2 may happen." - ManKitten

Hashtag ManKitten is canon? Did I do that right?


I think the problem of choice is only a problem to the new or the uninformed. In your example you use Pop from the supermarket. If you've never had any in your life, yeah, you'd be overwhelmed with the variety. But if you are familiar with it, the choice doesn't bother you at all; you just go for Vanilla Coke.

You are 100% wrong about this.

I grew up in the United States, and was completely comfortable with supermarkets. I joined the Peace Corps, and spent 3 years in a developing nation. When I came home, one of the most overwhelming things was walking down the cereal aisle in my hometown Stop and Shop - it made me physically dizzy.

I guarantee you, if you poll 100 returned peace corps volunteers, more than 75 of them will have a similar story.

Cereal options were not new, nor was I uninformed. I was simply seeing them in a different context.

The options ManKitten saw upon playing D2 were not new, really. He'd seen most of them in D1. They were simply presented in a way that made it difficult to choose a path.

(For what it's worth - I've lived in this house for 4.5 years now, and I STILL get overwhelmed sometimes if I'm trying to pick a place to eat - there are just too many places that are good.)
