  • There is a demo out on Steam, if anyone wants to try it.

    Edit: So, I played the demo. Takes about 30 minutes. The game has a lot of charm, but that much was clear from the trailer. The gameplay is… basic. There is a map on which missions pop up. You choose the hero to send there, based on their skills. You get some hacking minigames and every now and then you can choose what your character says or does in a cutscene.

    If I had to critique something else besides the basic gameplay, it’s the lack of feedback after a mission. You get a voice line and a little graph that shows how well your chosen hero’s skills matched the requirements of the mission. Also some missions were clearly meant to be done by one specific hero, but if they are on cooldown or already busy elsewhere you have to send someone else. Made me feel like I did something wrong. I think the game will be its strongest after you have already played it once. Knowing who to send where and being aware of character specific missions. But at the same time, a lot of the charm of the game will be gone by the second time you play it, since you already saw most of the very well done cutscenes.














  • I haven’t purchased or (knowingly) consumed an animal product in about three years now and I only buy clothes and shoes that are made in the EU and produced fair. I actually contact companies and ask them where they make their products, if I can’t find that info on their website.

    Regarding your statement about communities helping themselves. I am all for that, but how would that practically go down? Let us assume I own an apartment block and I want to rent out a flat to someone. What am I supposed to do if an omni applies? Say “No, you are not living vegan (enough)!”? Because that is what your proposal boils down to.

    I will not deny basic human needs, just because someone doesn’t share my ethical views on animals or human labor. Especially if following these views costs money, time and energy. A single mom with two kids won’t have any of those three. They still deserve a home.

    Edit: Something that would actually help every homeless person but especially vegan ones is a vegan soup kitchen. Serve everyone, but it is vegan food. That is something I could get behind.
