  • You know Iran and Israel are ruled by Conservatives? Just wanted to make sure you don't mix up the people who actually commit atrocities with the ones who make zynical jokes.

    So Liberals are held at a higher morale? Or because the "Liberal" Biden Government is supporting Israel?

    In Europe, Liberals are as crazy as Conservatives, what both need is a pinch of Socialism to make it work. Moderation of power and equal rights has nothing to do with the political views, it should be the standard.

    Liberals in Europe say "The market will regulate itself" which is anti social corpo bs. Conservatives in Europe say "We need to go back to the Atomic Family and reliable (=outdated) systems" .... from my perspective I don't care, as long as there is Healthcare, Social Security, Equal Rights and Public Housing/Infrastructure, they can do whatever they want (within the borders of their own country).


  • Maybe an unpopular opinion but:

    I like games with good mechanics and satisfying loops. I take a Teardown over Horizon Zero Dawn any time. Both games are great, but one focused it's resources on one thing they really owned, the other is a playable movie.

    A GTA clone with simulated reactions of the environment, based on player actions would be as fun as the designed stuff. Even if it's wonky it feels more real.

    Imagine Rockstar would do Dwarf-Fortress. They could never reach this depth with their team of 1000 in 10 years because they would do the mechanics "manually". Look at GTA5 and how sterile the world feels while it looks amazing. Shooting down a Plane? No reaction at all. Give me Minecraft graphics and simulate the emergency/social/media/physical response for such an disaster based on existing game rules. That would be fun. (And is the secret of Indie games like Rainworld, DF, Teardown, CDDA, Minecraft, Project Zomboid, .... and the new Zelda Games or Space-Engineers).

    I would even like to see how a game like "Facade" would turn out today with the support of LLM for the dialogue.

    Or: Remember Serious Sam? 100ds of enemies at once? Why are there no games with Serious Sam 2 graphics and 1000nds of Enemies? Why does everything have to be that "polished".
