  • I do what I can. But it doesn’t feel like enough.

    And it clearly isn’t enough as things are getting worse, but also what I’m doing clearly isn’t enough either. Unfortunately, it’s impossible for one, or two, people to do enough. It’s just important you do what you can and remain cynical about what those limitations are.

    I apologize if this felt like it was targeted explicitly at you, but I don’t see a path forward without aggressively corralling those who are doing “what is expected” vs “what they can” and I apologize if my attempts at pushing were misdirected or misplaced.

    Keep on doing what your doing, if we all keep doing what we can we’ll get through this.


  • Oh I agree, but that one didn’t seem to bad to me due to the clocks depicting an in-game time that were everywhere. The ones that I almost rage quit on were:

    possible spoilers
    • The stupid gallery puzzles with the nonsensical images that you have to creatively interpret to get the initial clues to parse together in insane ways to get the correct answer
    • the culture of nuance

  • Some I really appreciate that I’m not seeing on this list:

    I’m currently enjoying Blue Prince which is a fairly new rogue-like puzzle/mystery game it’s hard to explain without spoiling but it’s worth looking up.

    Portals of Phereon is one of my absolute favorites. It’s a fairly deep tactical RPG thing with loads of replayability. It’s kind of like a Pokemon x FF Tactics but with monstergirls and it’s also currently free while it’s in development. Be aware it’s extremely NSFW and horny, which I suspect is the main reason it’s not as popular as some of the others listed (IE rimworld, stardew valley, etc.) however the horny is such a key point to it’s original gameplay and world-building that it wouldn’t be the same without it.

    Thea: the awakening is a decent tactical RPG. I love it for it’s original battle mini game, crafting system and world-building. It unfortunately has some balance issues and jankiness that prevents it from being an all time favorite, but it’s definitely one I would encourage at least trying.

    Thought of a few others:

    • Reus (2nd one’s alright, first one’s excellent)
    • Library of Runia
    • Book of Hours
    • Kenshi (saw it listed one other time, but it deserves a lot more love)

  • how would you know if I was or was not actively doing something

    It’s the Internet I don’t. The difference in perspective I see is the lack of ‘guilt by association’ which only goes so far. That was kind of what the whole Nuremberg trials were about. My point is that if you are not confident that in a real life interaction you can demonstrate either you were unaware, were resisting, dis-associated yourself or were incapable, then you do shoulder some of the blame.

    The fact we’re having this conversation shows you are not unaware, I hope you’re actively resisting but the defensiveness tells me you might not believe you’re doing enough, and if that’s because you’re incapable, for whatever reason, then give yourself some grace. If that’s not the case then yes, you modern_medicine are to blame for the fascist bullshit happening around you.

    people from your country surely do drugs which is why the cartels exist and kill people.

    I believe you have a poor understanding of what cartels are and why they exist, but yes using your example I can confidently say I actively work to alleviate the conditions that result in people self-medicating and have distanced myself from cartels and their activities as much as I am aware and capable of. Can you say the same?

    I agree that “blame” may not be the right word. Is there an English word for “complicit through complacency”?
