Yeah reality is so great, like years ago when I was a kid and had no electricity, no water, no food and had to collect cans to avoid starving to death for one sack of flour and a bottle of water to make flour pancakes. Wheee.
Or how about living in a camper, taking care of a sick family member, I know the anti escapist would whine about go and get a job to make life better but hey there is no work in the area since oil dropped to nothing a barrel so work dried up, and what jobs are here is filled up.
I really wanted to read about 12th century poverty when I was living 20th century version of it.
You know what, screw that shit.
