Won’t happen.

Americans are lazy bastards, and nothing makes them lazier than the cold. For as much as I admire Luigi, he will have thrown his life away for nothing. If he’d been a little bit sooner, or a lot bit later, maybe he could be a martyr. As is, he’ll be a footnote.

What you would need is several copycat killers, with some getting away, during the summer when Americans are comfortable protesting. Even then, American protests have recently been toothless, and haven’t made any effect on politics ever since Trump took office in 2016.

We’ve entered the Russian stage of our collapse. “And then things got worse.”

Why would they, I’d be surprised if Israel didn’t admire the Nazis. They’re certainly doing their best to emulate them.

I’m p sure they’re all still stewing and complaining about the people who weren’t motivated to vote for a Republican campaign led by a Democrat.

well, yeah. That’s why last time should have been the wake-up call, because now it’s too late.

It already happened in 2016 though.

People are crazy if they think this will be the time the Dems learn their lesson. They haven’t learned it for decades.q

I mean, they were just chuds angry that you could have a character with male and female sexual characteristics, I don’t think any of them had the brainpower to read.

No, no, and no.

I was born into a dying world. Before I was old enough to have a say, my elders sold our planet to corporations. Now, fascism is rising across the globe, global temperatures are reaching critical levels, and we’re circling the drain of late-stage capitalism. To introduce new life to this world would be a mistake. I would never damn anyone else to my fate.

I’ve had to break off het relationships over not wanting to children, but I’ve never regretted it. If anything, each new horror that happens reinforces my vow.

Cyberpunk got a lot of hate by that crowd leading into release, and they dunked on the release a ton as if it vindicated them.

Unironically yes, because more violence is incoming.

Ooh, this seems like an excellent guess.

Good! Wonder what trend the brain-dead CEOs are going to chase after now. Cozy games?

I think the issue is that most game’s core gameplay loops are not endlessly replayable. Lots of single player RPGs fall into the trap of being alright to progress through for maybe 20 hours, but you can quickly become so powerful that the rest of the game falls into busywork. It’s really hard to meaningfully introduce new and interesting gameplay after the 30 hour mark, but without it things become same-y.

I’d argue this is just a fault of poor game design though. There are RPGs with really well iterated gameplay loops, with a wide array of variety, that I’m happy to put 400+ hours in. Games like Baldur’s Gate 3, or Elden Ring, have a lot of freedom and variety in the way you can approach a playthrough, even allowing you to dramatically change things mid-playthrough, while still feeling mechanically satisfying to play. A 10/10 game will feel good to play forever, but a 7/10 might get boring after 15.

Yeah it kicks ass. This is like making a story out of Skyrim or Baldur’s Gate 3 or even Witcher 3 continuing to have players. People like playing really good single player RPGs. There aren’t that many of them.
