There are community gardens. They would probably be the best address for something like this.

I’d say that’s exactly what the park is for.

To further muddy the water we had Baldur’s Gate 3, which was made by an independent studio with AAA budget.

I recently recommended the game to my wife and since then she tells me every day what her progress is and what she hates about the game and how tedious it is and how bad and inconsistent the controls are. And then she’s off to play more.

Clair Obscur:

The historical precedent is the rise of Nazi Germany during the 1920s and 1930s. You should now be somewhere in the early 1930s.

I think we experience quantum immortality. There could have been several world ending events in the last ~20 years. But since we can only observe what we survive our reality becomes increasingly more unlikely.

So while the world might be getting worse and worse it will just skid past the really bad events for most people.

Of course, if we hadn’t shot Harambe we would be in the best timeline.

Theoretically this should still be available somewhere in the edit history.

When I played Day of the Tentacle I got stuck. Eventually I caved in and ordered the official hint book. Mind you, back then this entailed mailing a physical letter and the money somewhere. I guess my parents helped with that. And then you had to wait for your order to arrive. And the post was a lot slower than today.

I waited weeks for the book to arrive. And then, the day before it came, I finished the game. Use physics book with horse was the last puzzle I needed.

But the money wasn’t wasted entirely. The game’s story was written down from the pov of one of the characters. Pretty funny.

Germany once had a minister of defence with a ridiculous number of first names. I think 12 names or so. Then one guy kept editing in another into Wikipedia. During the edit war where people were deleting the extra name and he was putting it back in some journalist used Wikipedia as a source for the names and they copied the fake one down. So now the guy had a source he could point to to win the edit war.

I think it took several months until this was resolved.

Unreal. I stopped playing when I couldn’t find the exit.

Edit: But to be honest that was kind of the norm back then. I hated Half Life for popularising the more linear level design.

Well, let’s hope we’re about to see that. My guess is mass protests all over Germany and even more massive counter protests right next to them.

True, but then again we have lived through that already and know that dangerous parties can be elected democratically. That is exactly the reason why we have this mechanism in place.

An anti democratic party has no right to be elected democratically.

Oh yes, definitely avoid the last one, Double Exposure.

But Lost Records: Bloom & Rage, by the same dev as the first Life is Strange is supposed to be decent. But I want to wait until all episodes are available before I play that.

Oh, also the Life is Strange games are great.

My daughter loves A Short Hike and Wobbly Life.

And on her phone Toca Boca World. Though it has a tendency to crash every few months, taking her progress with it.

She also likes Spider-Man but I guess that’s not very “girly”.

Depends.

My desktop gets powered off because I don’t use it often and it sucks a lot of energy and is loud.

My Steam Deck gets suspended when I’m not using it because that’s usually in the middle of a game and I don’t want to hear the game sounds all the time or accidentally do something.

My laptop is running 24/7. At night I use it to listen to science videos to help me sleep. And in the day I watch stupid YouTube videos to help me cope with life.

Don’t have the energy to play myself. But started watching a Let’s Play today and I really love the premise.

I only played the game. I loved it. It’s regularly on sale at GOG.
