You stopped reading too soon:

Unfortunately, comets would affect the Earth’s temperature in another way. In addition to dust and water, they contain a small amount of CO2, which would be released into the atmosphere as the comet melted. This CO2 would change Earth’s radiation balance

I think I’ll rather read Project Hail Mary for the fourth time.

Holding them to higher standards would mean prosecuting their failures more. Like a ton more, that part is obviously needed. But the threat of death penalty does nothing but satisfy lust for revenge.

…why? What purpose does it serve?

You aren’t going to win by daydreaming about executing cops either.

Don’t care.

Spelling errors were frequent, but they got pushed out of meta by just asking a question.

“Here’s a screenshot from [game]. What’s your favourite?”

…and everyone proceeds to just post their fav game without reading any other comments and the post shoots up to the top of /r/all

So it’s Valve’s fault for just going with it, seems to me.

Wait, you are sometimes asked to skip lunch?!

Reading isn’t your strong suit, is it?

I need to reinstall the VR version and do a run like that.

Makes sense. Thanks!

While Skyrim probably has the same issues you ran into with Fallout/other TES games, it’s quite viable to roleplay the game without doing the main quest without the game feeling empty.

I did one “playthrough” as an Orc blacksmith, with the goal being maxing out the smithing skill and crafting a dragonbone armour to present to a chieftan of one of the orc strongholds in order to join. I started out hunting deer and making leather stuff to gen enough money for food and board, working my way up, eventually venturing into dwemer ruins to gather metal. I did a handful of quests if they felt doable for a non-heroic regular dude and ran if I got into too much danger.

Strict pacifism wasn’t my goal, I was just playing as a non-heroic normal person, but I’m sure you could do something similar. You just need to abandon the main quest and set your own goal.

“You want to… prevent games from… being killed? We’ll see… about that!”

You don’t need a reason for existential crisis but it helps!

Sh! Don’t ruin this for this dude’s daughter!

Can you please uncensor the two words in your comment? I can’t tell what they’re supposed to be.

I just wait.

People don’t have problems with SKG. They have problems with reading and/or comprehending its goals.

In my experience about half the posts about it (since the start) have some dummy saying it’s unreasonable for devs to support games forever.

I wouldn’t call it safe. The required margin is unknown and the initiative could still dip under 1 mil.

Additional signatures could still help. If you know somebody who can and hasn’t signed yet, ask them to.
