My go to site which has most of what I’m looking for is still up. So much for that lmao.

Stellaris, Rimworld, the Sims, and a lot of stragedy games.

Maybe not outright illegal, but I think it should be heavily regulated. I’ve heard way too many stories of kids being raised in isolation and barely being taught even basic math under the guise of homeschooling.

EVE always fascinated me, but at the same time how beginner unfriendly I’ve heard it is + feeling like I’ll probably not last long before I get killed off makes me wary of trying it.

If Outer Wilds counts as AA, then I’ll nominate that next (even if I still need to finish it)

As a Tumblr user I see this image 5 times a week.

I mean, it wasn’t like I was expecting the guy who refused to take down a popular softcore CP sub until it got mainstream media attention to be morally upstanding.

Ironically I wouldn’t have heard of it if it werent for this, so Streisand effect in action.

As someone who’s into a lot of VR stuff, the biggest problem is that it’s still a niche market that requires the consumer to be spending a lot on extra hardware in order to play it. Obviously the majority of studios would rather invest in something more people can play and therefore buy, and at most will maybe add a VR mode to their first person game. I’ve found VR modes and mods for games not initially developed for that sort of hardware to be more engaging and have more substance than most of the ones specifically made for it (and is most of the VR games I play), but being able to play in VR does enhance the experience imo depending on the game.

The Sims 4. It’s the worst game in the mainline series, but it has the best mods (which are the only thing making it playable) so I put up with it.

Granted a lot of the failures with Anthem was thanks to corporate meddling, like EA forcing them to switch to an engine mid development that wasn’t equipped for the game they wanted to make as they insisted on using something in-house, and then forcing them to release it in an unfinished and buggy state. Iirc the devs even cared about the project too, but once again EA ruins something.

I remember thinking it had some neat gameplay concepts from the footage I saw, it just needed more polishing.

I had no context when I first saw this image and assumed it was something drug related.

Dang maybe we should take a fraction of the trillions we spend on the military to fund scientific research, and also health and education while we’re at it so we’d get even more potential scientists.

…like lumber doesnt take far more effort per harvest, as well as take longer to grow?

Also pirate the game if you want to play it. The devs have encouraged it after how the company treated them.

As someone who is unironically into a lot of VR stuff and even owns a pricey headset myself, I did not understand the appeal from the features I’ve seen past looking “”“cool”“”. Even the stuff that looks at least somewhat fun or useful doesnt seem worth it considering the price, especially now that reviews are reporting there are basic features that cheaper headsets perform much better at and are way more comfortable.

Hemp is very versatile and can be used to make similar paper products while growing at a much faster rate, which potentially makes it a good replacement. The association with marijuana is part of what prevented it from catching on though.
