  • It is probably been said, but roll with the failures in disco elysium, sometimes the failures bring out a better result. It systems do a great job commenting on your decisions and whether you do your job as a cop or not, it still drives across a very human story

    In regards to a game with a good story, I can say OneShot surprised me. It breaks the 4th wall by having you be the character that guides the protagonist through the world as they wake up in another world and go on a journey trying to get back. Simple graphics and one has to read everything, but by the story’s end was I left feeling some emotions in regards to its conclusion.



  • Not sure where it is from, misquoting and probably butchering the quote:

    “If you think a headache is bad, break your arm then the headache doesn’t feel so bad anymore”

    Basically if something is bad, but something worse comes along, then the bad thing doesn’t seem so bad anymore

    Update:

    Because this has got me thinking, going to update when I quote source ( also don’t want to double post)

    Heard in Mass Effect 2, Thane quoting:

    “When all the world is overcharged with inhabitants, then the last remedy of all is war, which provideth for every man, by victory or death.” Thomas Hobbes


  • Thank you for everyone for sharing, I am probably seeming all over the place, but yeah the comments do help add other aspects to think about and consider.

    It helps conceptualize how much bigger the conundrum I thought to myself was. It adds some dimension to an issue I was not considering.

    One thing I think I condense my frustration at is the monopoly on power and how A.I. can help in that concern. Whether regulated or not, bad actors will find a way to do what they want to and then manipulate context to allow them to do it.

    I guess it is only humanity’s role to safeguard humanity, however or whatever that is
