Everyone here is right, but also life before the internet was different. You did not have the same access to information as we do today. We’re just seeing what our shit looks like because it’s harder to hide.

I still think it’s a great game and I respect that most people seem to appreciate the ending.

I think if I could just sum up my criticism; I know that the story is about grief. I don’t think they did a good enough job resolving the questions of agency inside the canvas that they set up through getting to know our party, the gestrals, the sentient white nevrons, etc. The ending prioritized having an intersting meta-narrative conclusion, as opposed to delivering on the themes of the expeditions (you’re literally walking over a bridge of expeditioners bodies at one point). In doing so, they undercut the importance of developing a relationship with our party and the world that we just spent 60 hours in. But I’ll get over it.

Why is in everybody in media a zionist. What a clown show.

That’s what I saw, but that kind of sounds like a ceasefire without calling it one

Lol nobody knows anything.

That would make sense and fits with my view that the family is really not great. Clea was never shown to be anything other than vindictive and mean spirited, Renoir doesn’t care about life inside the canvas, Aline does but only because she’s using it as a tool grieve for her son. Verso is on team Renoir. Maelle is the only one that sees things clearly because she’s the only one who has empathy for the regular people.

Bad for those involved on the ground. Bad for US Empire.

It’s also not necessary to depict resource extraction and genocide because that would be a difficult topic also. They should just focus on making more Ashoka I guess.

The fucking gall of the NYT to send me this shit this morning. Immediately pissed me off.

I was having the same thought. My girlfriend was like, “Why would anyone ever dress up as a stormtrooper? They’re awful”

I didn’t even realize what scene you were talking about until I googled it. I disagree that it’s used to make it more serious and gritty.

I feel like yo-yos were a real thing. I thought it was so cool when I learned how to “walk the dog”. Actually I remember a really skilled adult yo-yo dude showing up at the scholastic book fair to presumably sell us yo-yos? Fun times.

How did you feel about the dialogue? That was the one thing that made me not wanna play really.

I feel like it’s funny but damn the climate is so fucked.

Did they actually just draw the swastika on and put an Arab name at the top? lol

I would have thought housing would have been the highest.

It’s almost like there’s a systemic issue inherent to capitalism

Sure it could be because healthcare is ass, but that’s not the only possibility.

The first time I visited a ski-town as a part of a hiking adventure, I realized that despite how cool the city was, it was basically just a private reservation for rich people. All the workers drove from about 45 minutes out. It was so strange, but this sums it up.

I guess we managed to not hit 1.5 until 2024 then
