If my understanding of longtermism is correct, it's more of a function of utilitarianism. If one wants to do the most good for the most people, then it makes some amount of sense to focus on the far future where presumably there will be more people. Their consent is irrelevant, which is kind of the opposite of what I'm saying, which is that consent is relevant.

I'm not sure what your point is here
Nothing, unless they start existing.
Something that no one has discussed in this highly enlightened conversation here is the issue of consent. A person cannot consent to being born. Full stop. I don't know of a way around that besides ignoring it.
My pickups have been Horizon Forbidden West, Subnautica, Spelunky, middle-earth: shadow of war, and Pony Island
I don't have exact price breakdowns, but it was total about 60$ with the vast majority of that being H:FW at 45ish.
It's Vermin Supreme's moment
Yeah I agree the control scheme contributes to the difficulty quite a bit. Between the dodging as you described and the lack of animation cancelling leading to "queueing" actions, you definitely need to be deliberate about what you're doing.
Not anymore, since I finished grad school and started a relatively lucrative career. They did help quite a bit during my undergrad and grad years though... which now drives my guilt about not really interacting with them despite them being unpleasant people overall.
Modern social media
It's gotta be the development of what we recognize as "intelligent". Our brains are not the goal of evolution, just a weird thing that happened.
That's just how evolution works- something that already exists and is driven to stay alive is more likely to pass on its genetics than something that is not driven to stay alive. This fact has nothing to do with the philosophy of consenting to exist in the first place.
Edit: missed your first question. Something that does not exist cannot desire.
