Reply to comment by MagicBez in This game is so beautiful and aesthetic that I have revisit it every couple of years by Wonder-Lad

Yeah I get what you mean. It would be interesting to see it’s earliest usage, it feels like somebody just made a vocab mistake and it unquestioningly became absorbed into youth lingo. In a way it just makes sense to me from a kind of cynical art perspective where, now, any style can be absorbed, flattened, and rendered kind of meaningless when it’s being recycled and beaten to death using the methods which we now most commonly exchange visual information, internet feeds. Vaporwave kind of represents a nostalgia for an internet era when something new or original actually felt possible. I’m having a hard to tying all this together in a really specific way but it’s interesting to consider.

Reply to This is cringe but where do I start with gaming by much2thinkabtnothin

All of these are great suggestions! Finding games with an overlap in your already established interests, in addition to/as well as picking up some that are mechanically simple enough to grab onto and learn the “feedback loop” of would be my suggestion. Single player games are a good place to start, since there’s no competitive pressure, in my opinion. These days I personally find myself gravitating towards single player games again after a long time of multiplayer gaming because the competition is just unneeded stress. Just hop in and see what clicks!

Mmm arent fossil fuels used in cars and typically mills/warehouses is typically the manufacturer of wastes.

But thanks for the rhetorical input.

The ecosystem is already broken Global warming been set in stone for awhile now amongst other pollutants

Next 50 years I be surprised if there's a earth.

You thought process is a band aid on a festering mortal wound. I you assure it's too late the planet is doomed. Even if 99% of the population turned "green"

Reply to comment by Apexnoobisux in Have you guys played eso? Is it a good elder scrolls game? thinking of buying it by Apexnoobisux

Casual play its fine you can go first person. You don't ever have to go 3rd person its just a lot of visual indicators are easier to see that way. Late game content just kind of leans towards it. I'd have cared more, but first person combat with the hotbar doesn't feel as immersive as the single player games.

Exploring is pretty cool the world is massive. There are a ton of quests and I enjoyed the quests more than I do in other MMOs. They play to a strength of the ES series.

Reply to Why do remakes get so much praise? by KonoDoesArt

Look at a game like Link's Awakening for an example of a remake done right. They took a game from the original game boy and made it look incredible without losing any of the charm from the original. If you can't see the joy in playing something from your childhood that has been remade to look the way you always imagined it then I'm not really sure what to tell you.

Cars and mills are not actually at the top of that? Fossil fuel companies are. Its not about individual choice but it does still matter what you do. Telling yourself stuff like this is so "minute" is just a lie our culture tells ourselves. Same as when we go "Well what, am I supposed to just give up all my stuff and send it to Africa!" No, thats just an extreme so you can justify not doing the most basic of things.
