I enjoy narrow games when they have a good story or vibe and game mechanic I like (for instance Disco Elysium, though with lots of pathways, isn't at all a sandbox and has a very well fleshed out social exploration/discovery system that just works unlike any other). What I hate most with "open games" are those that do the kitchen sink mechanic approach just because instead of systems that interlink and support upon each other. Why does your game need a fishing mini game? Because all the other games are doing it? Huh ok... see also games that copied the ubisoft tower map discovery system but didn't do much to make it interesting, the closest that did was Zelda BoTW only because it made each sheikah tower slightly unique (at the same time I think BoTW and especially ToTK have systems that interlink among each other amazingly well as a open world game).
"had not arrested anybody in connection with the boy’s death as of Sunday evening"... wtf does that mean isn't it the home owner that shot the boy or did they flee but that isn't being mentioned? I could just feel the article writer trying to neutral tone a clear cut story of a sociopath shooting a kid in the back for a simple prank. Fuck this country...
American Christians have a distinct view that because the earth was meant for man that means it is to be used by man at it's maximum ability, i.e. burn the forests and mine the coal fuck everybody else as is puritan tradition.
I truly believe that Orwell become an intentional agitator (i.e. funded and instructed) against socialism by the west as a means to link Soviets and Nazis together as "both bad totalitarians".
Anyone ever marvel at how, especially boomers, think they are friends with people at a grocery store but are also one boomer crashout from costing that person their job? Like millennial isolation is a thing but boomers take their own isolation from community into a new level by coercing it out of a poor gas station clerk functioning on five hours of sleep.
Huh I did not have this on my bingo card for 2025
Now just wondering who the shooter was?
