This isn't meant as hate or even really criticism, just something that's on my mind, and any language that might make it seem like more than that is me writing in a hyperbolic way. Please note that all of this is a purely subjective observation, you might have a completely different viewpoint, I'm just writing based on what I know or don't know.

While I've enjoyed This War of Mine and Frostpunk and am currently having a blast with The Alters, I do wonder why 11bit Studios seems so commited to the idea that cruelty is necessary for survival, and cooperation is something to be enforced. Sure, it makes for compelling story telling and moral dilemma, and for something like The Alters I can easily let it slide, because I too would be very pissed if a more depressed version of myself brought me into existence in a life-or-death situation for a 50% productivity boost, but it has always really bugged me when playing the other two games I've mentioned.

Like let's be honest, would people REALLY complain about having to eat the same food every day and working two more hours a day when the survival of humanity depends on it? Especially when you consider that the main campaign of Frostpunk takes only about 50 days and the city is, canonically, able to sustain itself well enough for several decades afterwards (until the events of Frostpunk 2). Sure, the citizens don't know that in advance, and I understand having to keep morale up, but seriously, they start complaining after the first few days. We've started from basically nothing and now have enough housing AND medical care, and you're complaining about the soup being a bit stale? [insert joke about British cuisine here]

I outright dislike it in This War Of Mine, mostly because it bills itself as this gritty, depressing game about the horrors of war, but then tells a story of civilians in a wartorn country turning against each other instead of building community. I'm not saying this doesn't happen, but the game presents it as this sort of inevitability, a universal truth, when that is simply not the case.

Again, I get that these conflicts are mostly there to serve a gameplad purpose and tell a good story, I just, idk, don't really believe in the fundamental idea that seems to be behind it?

Interesting parallel I just noticed, don't know if it's intentional and haven't seen this mentioned anywhere yet

Jaro Tapal's lightsaber and the Zeffo vault on Bogano look quite similar.

Something something it holds the future of the Jedi Order, someone smarter than me write about this please

1899 made my boyfriend finally understand my love for Andreas Pietschmann (God that man is attractive)

got so obsessed with “The Stranger” Jonas from Dark that the only logical thing to do next is watch 1899

Very amusing to me how Fallen Order, a video game, does more interesting stuff with the Star Wars property than all three sequels combined.

Fandom: RPF (One Direction)

"Jetzt bin ich nicht mehr, als ein Schüler und kaum zu glauben, niemand weißt das ich Niall Horan bin, der Niall Horan der in der Beliebtesten Boyband der Welt gesungen hat, mit meinen 4 besten Freunden: Zayn,Louis,Liam und Harry. Die jetzt genau so sind wie ich. Ihr fragt euch sicher wie wir zu Vampire geworden sind. Eigentlich ist das keine komplizierte Geschichte, es hat einmal sehr heftig geregnet, wir (One Direction) sind in einem Auto zum Konzert gefahren und Louis hat gefahren, natürlich hat er mal wieder Scheiße mit Harry gebaut und nicht auf die Straße geachtet, so sind wir gegen ein LKW gefahren und haben uns sehr schwer verletzt. Paul (unsere Bodyguard) der ganz zufällig ein Vampir wahr, wollte uns nicht verlieren und hat uns gebissen. "

The concept of anime fans growing old and having grandchildren is extremely funny like what if you visited your grandma and on the mantle she had a figure of Ryuko Matoi with her butt out

Kids nowadays are cheating on their assignments by using ai? Back in my day we didn't have that stuff. All we had was this fair skinned and long haired boy called kevin that had these really puffy nipples and we all copied his homework. He kinda disappeared after high school, but sometimes I see his sister Katherine around. A real beauty I will tell you. I guess he's in jail or something cause every time I ask her about him she stutters and avoids the question. I miss Kevin, I really hope he's ok. So I guess what I'm saying is that we didn't have ai, but we had- I had Kevin. I pray for him every night

My headcanon for that stuff is that you actually start working on clearing the room with them right away and the tea drinking, eating and hanging out is what you do whenever you're taking breaks.

Book of Hours is an utterly hilarious videogame, when you think about what the mechanics actually mean in-universe.

You are a librarian! You have taken on management of a Mystical House full of secrets, which you must slowly reveal room by room. But! A catastrophe struck before your arrival, so you gotta clear the rooms out as you go.

Except you're just one person, you gotta go get your neighbors to help out.

Most of the people will charge me money to help out, but the towns blacksmith, my old war-buddy Denzel, he'll help for free.

"Denzeeel!" I pound on his doorway at the break of dawn. "Come up to the big spooky house, why don't you?"

He comes to the house. And I show him the best time. We drink a smoky tea, feast upon rare pears that only bloom in the fae seasons, I gift him some metal and encourage him to look at it's cool magic properties. Dawn to morning to afternoon, we have a wonderful time. And then, as the day grows dark and he's thinking about heading home, I stop him.

"before you go, can you do me a quick favor?" And then I walk them into the basement, through some caves, and point to a room with roughly one billion bats.

"you can clear out roughly a billion bats, right? I really need to get in there."

And then my sweet, long-suffering friend goes into the room filled with roughly a billion bats to clear it out for me. Good man, I think fondly, as he stumbles home to his smithy after.

And then, as night turns to morning, I contemplate the next room, deep in the library's secret prison, burning with an eternal flame of the monstrous prisoner that broke his chains.

"you know who can help me handle this?" I say cheerfully as my skin reddens and cracks as I reach my hand toward the door. "My good friend Denzel!"
