Till you want to apply for a job but your bar isn’t green enough.
Then have the wealthy class try to distinguish themselves by always having a full green bar while the politicians balance your means to make the majority just miserable enough to always be light orange.
Exactly. My first thought seeing this was that shitty people are going to gamify making people more miserable now that they can see exactly how well they're doing.
Omg, you made a terrible idea terrifying. I think you nailed it in the head only they would keep at least 25% to 50% at the red limit just to incentivise the yellow bars.
If we want to talk about the current scales the greens would be holding us to a 60% red line rate. I'm not current but I'm guessing the average American living paycheck to paycheck is around 60% now.
I used to have wristbands - green, yellow, and red - that I'd switch between. Lost the green and yellow ones around 2020 or so. If that isn't a metaphor, I don't know what is.
Why is your mental fortitude going down, I'm just TALKING to you!?
Would that not ruin the surprise breakdown??
like hell it would. It would just let awful people know who to abuse.
And constantly have the Pokémon alarm sound when I’m in the red? No thanks.
“Why did you eat the entire glass of olives out of the fridge?”
Me pointing at my increasing mental health bar.
Damn, it would be a fun time every day at work with my coworkers constantly seeing my bar at 10-20% and slowly going down
I'd love to have boss music start playing when there are enemies nearby so I know it's time to leave.
hears boss music at home
chuckes "I'm in danger"
FINISH HIM!!!!
I'd love to have one for myself. That would help so much
Yeah, a lot of time I don't know if I am just fine or too tired to feel anything...
Happy cake day!
Happy Cakeday
Then you end up with Rimworld mental breaks.
I could go for a Sad Wander right about now tbh
I am a catatonic breakdown fan
Current status: binging smokeleaf
I'm a multiple healthbar boss! I break down but I keep going!
Like Mysterio in Spider-Man 2?
staring in shocked horror at anyone with a full bar
No, bullies would just target the weak ones. Privacy is king. Having said that, reach out to your friends, make an effort to connect in life. Go out for a walk and a coffee with them.
That was my first thought. In a tech nerd website nobody thought of how bullies work? They'd have a field day with this.
I was bullied a lot as a kid, perhaps it made me more sensitive to potential areas of weakness for such predatory behaviours.
When it gets low enough, it starts beeping like the health bar from LoZ LttP and takes itself out the rest of the way
I've seen Scott Pilgrim. It would just be another way to sell you energy drinks which promise to improve your health bar.
My smart watch kinda does this. It has a concept called body battery that tries to calculate the amount of rest you get vs the amount of energy you use.
Twist: We already do. Everyone's is just empty.
This would be awesome, I could go around hitting people with clutch complements, and moral support and see their heath bar go up.
That would stress me out, causing my health bar to go down, which would stress me out even more, causing my health bar to go down, which would....
Debuffs would be helpful as well so I know wtf is wrong with me
I feel like I have a Fallout style health bar, but instead of rad counters it's old age counters. My max available HP drops over time, with the space being filled up with pain. Not to mention permanent debuffs like "arthritis," and "bad knee."
Mob Psycho in real life.
I'd like to know what that health bar says for me.
Oi.
The mental one would be a sekiro-esque posture indicator
An energy bar too.
I'd basically be doing a Red Tear Stone Ring run. 1HP, but super strong.
I'd be doing a sl 1 run with 1 HP..
That's the sanity bar, from Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem. Except having a meltdown in that game was like, walking into a room and having a delusion that your controller is disconnected, or a cockroach crawls across the screen, or all your arms fall off.
That was a great game.
i was really considering the rig from dead space!
was doing sketches, i mean it would just be LEDS and tubing, might be considered faddish though
Mines been stuck at 0 for decades, no its not broke.
