After reading it multiple times, I understand now what was meant, they just lacked proper punctuation.

The OP is surprised, that other people don’t find it normal that people go to prison.

So a difference in life experience, because I also don’t know anybody who went to prison.

I love mine, especially that I could custom fit lenses, so I don’t need to wear glasses. Because that will damage the internal lenses over time.

Nice try bot.

• the effort to provide historical accuracy, this is a time and area of Europe I only briefly learned about in middle school, so it felt nice having a glimpse of what life was like in 15th century Bavaria, are there games that try to portray life and folklore of people I may not know about? For context I am an average western European.

I know of Never Alone, which is about a traditional fairy tale from the Alaskan native Iñupiaq tribe.

It was a fun little game which introduced me to their folklore.

Regarding the mystery detective work, Lucifer within us is a name you didn’t mention yet. While it’s not as strong a detective game as those you mentioned, it might help scratch the itch for a bit.

Regarding the meta narrative, without too many spoilers I will just mention names: Undertale , Oneshot , Slay The Princess

Especially the last one could be up your alley, since you like games witha lot of text.

That last paragraph sounds exactly like the words that need to be uttered to them.

I don’t know why, but that fabulous hair fits really well to Konsi.

Then we would need to know how many CEOs you need to “not see” before somebody connects some dots…

I see you majored in mad science.

They released PA in Early Access, then continued development and published that better more complete game as PA: Titans. And you had to buy it again if you weren’t a backer but a filthy peasant who supported them during Early Access instead of during the Kickstarter.

Whaaat? The developer that already fucked over their fans once now do it again? What a strange singular thing to happen, definitely not a trend or anything.

And yes I’m still salty over the rugpull they did with Planetary Annihilation: Titans.

Coop Immersive Sim sounds awesome to be honest.

Programmable? Look at rich guy over here!

In our lab all machines apparently use the same sound chip. So when you heard the beep, you had to check if it was the dish washer, the centrifuge, the oven or the automatic water measuring scale.

Greed was meant not only as greed for money but greed for power in general. Money itself is worthless, only its substitution for power is why it’s important in the first place.

I agree with your comment, but I didn’t talk about economic structures, but rather about how power is distributed in a society. That is closely connected to the economic structure, sure. But for example the Soviet Union was state socialism and started enough wars themselves. Also not because the workers wanted it, but those in power did.

The problem is and always was the power structure and the greed of those at the top of it. It had many different names and forms during history.

In a certain way I even agree with the sentiment. Of the crystals I have grown myself, the perfect ones are kinda nice, but do look fake/more like plastic. Those that are nearly perfect but have visible impurities (not to much, not to little) are far more visually pleasing to me.

The big BUT is that this in no way is a reason to support blood diamonds. If aesthetic is more worthy to you than human rights, than you are a villain, it’s that simple.

Now is the correct timing to play it (if you are on the northern hemisphere). Turn off all lights and then play Soma, you will feel the deep sea atmosphere in a completely different way.

Correct, but that shows what an chemical engineering masterpiece photosynthesis is.

It also isn’t just one step, but multiple smaller steps in between, which make it possible to break the C-O bond.

But the difference is, that for photosynthesis, there are other reaction partners that are able to bond to the Carbon and Oxygen atom. For the decomposition, they likely were in a pure CO2 atmosphere, making it hard for the atoms to find better reaction partners than each other.

The Mechanicus trailer is maybe the greatest ever.

I also fondly remember the Skyrim reveal trailer, because the music was so epic when I saw it for the first time, in ancient times.

Certain death tomorrow is better than certain death today.

I share your pessimistic view on what this win means, but don’t get disheartened. It is still a win for privacy and citizen rights.
