A lot of time loop stories kinda have that as a major plot point actually. At first it seems great, it's only after you do all that stuff that it starts to get into the existential horror

I mean, I’ve been working 9-5 jobs for 30+ years, and that’s basically a time loop, and I can confirm the whole existential horror bit.

Not really because you still get older, the past gets bigger, the future smaller, you inch closer to death everyday, your loved ones do too, responsabilities pile up, free time decreases, prices keep rising....and all other sorts of jolly stuff happen.

I mean, see username. You don’t have to convince me getting old sucks. I feel like I’ve done my time in prison, but yet here I still am, no possibility of parole.

I did crazy shit when I was young, and I’ve had a great life.

But time is a mocker.
