Yeah, somehow the openendedness gave me a little bit of “it’s not over yet” feeling. But now it feels like the coffin nail being put in.

Why not? Mostly smell for me. Because feet being imprisoned in shoes most of the time gives them an aroma most people don’t like.

I mean, that is how the libertarians argue since time immemorial, isn’t it? “Cut the welfare state or the EcOnOMy never improves”

Well, she is named after a Bavarian food staple

Coop Immersive Sim sounds awesome to be honest.

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.

It was the one good thing the german liberal party FDP was good for, but they aimed to destroy the coalition from the inside (literally! they made plans and discussion meetings when the best time to destroy it would be). And now they are out and we have the SPD and the Greens left. So one party who really has a hard on for surveillance and the other one who is undecided.

Oh nice. Vertigo 2 was a great step forwards from Vertigo 1. I’m interested in this new addition to the series.

It is also really fun in coop. The way your two main characters interact makes it perfect for playing it with somebody else.

And of course all the different fuckups if your fire ball destroys the oil barrels you didn’t see before…

That sounds strange, because they just filter out and don’t add anything. What does give me headache though are glasses that are too small for me. Maybe your glasses are just a bit too small and the increased pressure triggers the migraine?

Might not be for you.

Maybe as an alternative for you: create new accounts after one year or so to not leave a years-long data trail? This way your posts are preserved but can’t be connected easily to each other to doxx you.

That’s exactly the problematic thing. She is a child and should enjoy her childhood, not work in the entertainment business.

Most multiplayer games gain by already knowing mechanics, maps, characters, items, etc.
