    The fact that they’re wearing labcoats, and the state of the machine implies he’s a scientist working on an interdimensional portal. You’re plenty successful, chill.

    I hope all the alternate universe versions of me are more successful, I’d feel really bad for them otherwise

      The Alters was loads of fun until I realised that 90% of what I was doing in the game was what I was already trying to do in real life. Then it became a HR sim in my head and that killed my enthusiasm 😔

    It’s better to compare yourself to a version that is successful together with your neighbors. At that point, you realize the stereotypical understanding of “success” is equivalent to “beating down your competitors until you alone stand above them”. Shared success is indistinguishable from being ordinary.
