I know what you mean, but I still find it wrong to write future when it is literally happening already now.

I mean, with resurrection being possible I think divorces would be far less often.

But especially in rich families there would probably be a lot of murdering and resurrecting, just to get out of some forced marriage.

Your basic premise is wrong. Punk is not about being counter to mainstream, that was just the appeal for many. Punk is about tearing down hierarchical power structures. And doing that loudly and not by conforming.

Or you can use the billions you invest in that and invest it instead in renewables and batteries. Because that is cheaper per MWh

Arrested is such a weak word here. Somebody is arrested for breaking a law. Those were just rounded up and imprisoned for being Palestinian. And if that is a crime, that in itself tells more about the jailer than the jailee.

The sales stopped because the developer took the app from the store and made it really really hard to get thereby. He did it because he didn’t want people to get addicted to phone games and contribute to that. So for him it was morals over money, literally! You can read about it on wikipedia

It’s not automatic everywhere! I’m pretty sure deciding where the money from the budget goes is the biggest decision the current government can take for shaping the country. But in other countries this is mostly passed by Parliament, where the government has the majority by design most of the time (that’s why they are the ruling party or coalition). On the USA, the Congress and Senate thing is responsible for the deadlock.

That’s also the part I’m glad about. Not to put the Nazis on a pedestal or anything, but propaganda was something they took serious. Now it seems more like the right accidentally hits the notes their followers want to hear.

Soviet Russia never really said it was communist, neither did the other east European states. They said they had socialism and communism was the goal to reach in the future.

1914-1918, 1939-1945 probably. Also when the black plague was in other regions. Probably also during the great cleansing in Maoist China.

Yeah, that is the complete opposite of what the other comment said.

What they said:

• There are non-religious people who celebrate holidays with religious background
• there are other religious holidays who are only celebrated by the really religious

You provided a good example of the first case, that even non practicing Jews celebrate some holidays, same as many book Christians are celebrating Christmas.

Aw, will to live empowered for another day after seeing the cat statue part.

2020 there were at least 247 emu-adjacent birds (nandu/rhea), after some intervention. The highest counted was 2018 with 566.

Thanks for sharing this video. While it is a bit long and has some duplication about some games in the introduction part and the specific game parts, it was nonetheless interesting to hear about this in depth talk about the romance genre.

I think the biggest problem romance in games will always have is the inherent contradiction between game mechanics and the realistic development of a relationship. It will be between the two extremes of being a pre written story or being a “relationship vending machine”. But maybe somebody will find a way to combine both in the future. I never would have guessed that I found it fascinating to play a autocratic countries border guard and then along come Papers, Please, so who knows.

I don’t really understand the downvotes, is it due to the length or directly proving the point of the video that too many people are scared of romance in games?

In the top left it’s written “rent a bim”

Just checking, are you for real or just that committed to the act online?

Little advice for the internet in general:

Do at least a quick search for a term before sounding all confident and smug. Makes you less prone to ultimately showing your lack of knowledge.

That falls under the stupid category.

I wholeheartedly agree, the voices in this game are all awesome and fitting. I just didn’t mention that because you either read the texts or sit even longer hearing them. Both ways you need a certain patience to enjoy this game. (Which not everyone has and that is okay as well)
