  • Not quite, I don’t think. Enshittification is driven by profit motive, which means if there’s no money at all involved, then there’s no motive.

    I guess you chose your words carefully though because the terms ‘product’ and ‘service’ pretty much imply that money is involved somewhere there.






  • Although, these stats are people who would consider giving up cars, among those who currently own one.

    People who don’t need a car and already don’t have one won’t appear in these figures

    If you imagine the perfect fictional country, then for that country the bar chart should theoretically be at 0% - because that would mean everyone who doesn’t need a car doesn’t have one, and anyone who does own a car needs it very strictly for jobs only a car can do, no matter how good the transport infrastructure and planning and zoning are.











  • For real. It’s an amazing game that just can’t be the same again once you know all its secrets.

    I bought it for two of my friends, and they both ended up hating it lol. I don’t blame them, but I think it’s very much to do with the mentality of how you approach the experience.

    One friend just got plain stuck and gave up. The other found it frustrating that they were doing the same thing several times over, and just wanted to rush as quickly as they could to make progress.

    Personally, I enjoyed the slow pace of discovery. I loved that feeling of being a true explorer, discoving facets of lost civilisation. Watching in melancholic awe as a world crumbled around me. Finding just a small piece of new information was always a joy, and made it feel worthwhile to get there, even if I’d done 90% of the journey before.

    Slowly getting richer in a game where the only currency is knowledge.
